Avenue C stalwart A & C Kitchen is back open

A & C Kitchen, the affordable and reliable quick-serve Chinese restaurant these past nearly 30 years, is back open at 136 Avenue C between Eighth Street and Ninth Street. (Thank you Eden for the tip!) 

A&C had been closed throughout the pandemic, and people wondered if the place was done for good. Yelpers thought so.

They will be expanding their hours and menu items as business returns.

Revisiting A & C Kitchen on Avenue C

Here's an interesting tidbit that came out of the recent Dojo closure news... On Twitter, Dave Pentecost shared that one of the original Dojo chefs (from the days on St. Mark's Place) works at A & C Kitchen, 136 Avenue C between Eighth Street and Ninth Street...

One original chef is at A&C Kitchen, Ave C and 9th. Just ordered my hijiki tofu dinner for lunch! Best deal and tastiest around.

I wasn't aware of this... and I hadn't ordered from A & C in ages (A & C has been around now for 25 years). I had forgotten how good the place is — with large portions and reasonable prices ... been there twice now in the past week...







Of course I can't vouch for everything on the extensive menu...
