    People Kitchen offers a complete dinner menu of Asian-infused cuisine, as well as a selection of late-night treats like chicken satay skewers and spring rolls. If that's not your style, there's plenty of cheap late-night eats in the area, including the ever-popular Rosario Pizza.

Great Little Spot!

I just had an event at People's Lounge and everything was perfect, the food, the cocktails and the service. This is a great little spot for dinner with friends, cocktails and definitely private events. The owner is a class act !!!!

Cozy small place

We celebrated a friend's birthday here recently. Dinner was a set menu of asian-influenced items which came out to about $30 per person. There was a lot of food and it was served family-style. We'd reserved the "lounge" area by the front windows in advance so after dinner, we congregated there. It's a good thing we did have our own space as the entire place got packed pretty quickly after about 11pm. It was nice to have our own uncrowded place as the entire place is quite small. It started to get hopping after midnight and there was hardly enough room to squeeze through to reach the restrooms at the back. There's a bouncer that started to ID everyone coming in after 10.30pm. The music ranged from current hip hop and R&B to 80s/90s mixes. The night we went was the coldest night in January and the heat was not working. However, after a few drinks and with the place sardine-packed, I didn't feel the cold at all.

Pros: The set menu food was generous in quantity

Cons: Small space, not enough space to freely move/dance

Found a pleasure from our random pick

12/05/08 - Walked in after 9pm without reservation. The interior design is simple, yet elegant. There were small crowded of young professional look hung by the bar. The dinner area layout is spacious. A very friendly host led us to a corner table. The menu offers variety entrees with very reasonable price. We ordered Salt & Pepper shrimp, Calamari, Chicken Satay and short ribs as entree. The shrimp was nice and tender, the calamari was perfect cooked, not chewing, the chicken satay was grilled perfectly and it came with a small bowl of salad...very healthy...but it doesn't come with dipping sauce?! But the entree was a little disappointment. The rib was overcooked. The servers provided an excellent service. I will go back again soon.

The perfect 30th surprise party!

Been here several times of the past few years. And recently they opened a full kitchen! YUM YUM YUM! My Friends and I had a birthday dinner here before we stayed to party the night away. I had the crispy calamari with curry mayo, and the crispy fish with a spicy sauce and a lychee cheescake for dessert. A couple of drinks each and it was great. The best part the prices didnt empty our wallets afterward! The manager bought us a round of shots, gave some bottled water to my tipsy girlfriends, and at the end of the night, we couldnt believe we ended up staying here for about 5 hours! One stop shop!

Pros: Great Drinks, Good Food, Good Music

Cons: Security can be tough, but i guess they have to be in NY
