Potluck Club: Where Chinatown Tradition Meets Modern Celebration
Tucked away at 133 Chrystie Street in the heart of Chinatown, Potluck Club represents something extraordinary in New York's dining landscape — a modern twist on traditional Chinese dishes, specializing in Cantonese American food that honors the past while embracing the future.
The Revival of Cantonese American Soul
This isn't just another Asian fusion concept. Potluck Club is leading a revival for Cantonese American flavors, bringing warmth and authenticity to every gathering. Founded by owners Stephen Ng and Ricky Nguyen, Stephen brings serious pedigree — he previously served as principal owner of Faan, a beloved Asian fusion restaurant that operated successfully in Brooklyn for over a decade.
Beyond the Neighborhood Gem
What makes Potluck Club's catering exceptional isn't just their Instagram-famous dishes that have taken social media by storm — it's their ability to transform any event into the kind of gathering that feels both elevated and effortlessly communal. The restaurant has earned recognition for reimagining Cantonese American cuisine in a fun atmosphere with standout menu items, and that same energy translates beautifully to their catering work.
The Art of Modern Nostalgia
Potluck Club has mastered the delicate balance of honoring Cantonese American traditions while creating something entirely fresh. Their catering brings this philosophy to corporate events, private dinners, and celebrations across the city. Think dishes that taste like childhood comfort but look like they belong in a magazine — the kind of food that makes guests stop mid-conversation to ask about the caterer.
Featured in the Cultural Conversation
Potluck Club has been featured in Resy's cultural spotlight, recognized for their role in shaping the future of New York's Chinatown and what it means to be Cantonese American. This isn't just catering — it's cultural storytelling through food. When you choose Potluck Club, you're not just feeding your guests; you're giving them a taste of New York's evolving culinary narrative.
The Potluck Philosophy
What sets them apart is their understanding that the best meals happen when tradition meets innovation, when familiar flavors surprise you, and when every bite feels like a celebration. Whether it's a rooftop corporate event in SoHo, an intimate dinner party in the Village, or a celebration in a Brooklyn loft, Potluck Club brings the warmth of Chinatown and the sophistication of modern New York to every gathering.
Because the best potlucks aren't just about what everyone brings — they're about the memories you create when you share them.
