Amy's

Chinese food in Inwood doesn’t get more local than this. Amy’s sits on West 207th Street, a block where the neighborhood’s mix of students, families, and longtime residents keeps the sidewalks busy at all hours. The menu leans into the kind of comfort food that works whether you’re grabbing a quick bite between classes or settling in for a quiet dinner—small plates, vegan and vegetarian options, and a few healthy twists that don’t skimp on flavor. Lunch and dinner are both solid, and there’s always room for dessert if you’re dining solo or splitting dishes with friends.

You’ll find the place at 586 W 207th St, New York, NY 10034, tucked between the bodegas and the subway stop. If you’re planning ahead, give them a call at (212) 567-3175 to check availability or just show up when hunger strikes. For directions, pull up the map—it’s the kind of spot that’s easy to miss until you’re right in front of it.
