For those discovering it for the first time, our century egg and burrata is a lovely introduction to By Antidote. Creamy burrata meets the richness of century egg and the warmth of chili oil, with fried dough to bring it all together in one bite. ❤️‍🔥

Before it all comes together: century eggs, burrata, and green peppers, with our house made chili oil. Each brings its own character to the finished dish.

Break into the burrata and fold it through the century egg and chili oil until creamy. Then scoop it up with the fried dough, catching a little of everything in each bite.

What people say

By Antidote on E 20th Street brings modern Sichuan cuisine to New York with a thoughtful, flavor-forward approach. The menu is built for sharing, making it an easy choice for relaxed dinners where you want a few standout dishes and time to linger. From the first bite, the balance is clear: bold spice where it counts, bright aromatics that lift each course, and sauces that feel carefully composed rather than simply heavy.

Cocktails at By Antidote match the same level of intention as the food. Options like a jasmine-forward drink with yuzu and just enough fruit deliver a light, fragrant finish that pairs beautifully with spicy flavors. There’s also a creative cocktail lineup that blends citrus notes with tea and rum for something refreshing and aromatic—ideal when you want your evening to feel polished but not overly heavy.

Signature favorites shine through in the details. Chef Henry’s behind-the-scenes look at mapo tofu highlights what makes the dish special: building chili oil thoughtfully and balancing every layer so the final result tastes layered, vibrant, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re craving something numb-and-spicy or simply looking for a meal worth stepping away from your day for, By Antidote delivers an experience that feels both contemporary and unmistakably Sichuan-inspired.

For convenience, you can also enjoy By Antidote via Uber Eats & DoorDash.
