Yingtao is a $$$$ Chinese restaurant with a measurable audience: 2,112 all-time Blackbird check-ins, with Friday and Saturday leading the pattern. Google lands at 4.4 across 254 reviews, and highlighted feedback points to a room that works for birthdays, group dinners, and bar-seat ordering.
The most useful read is mixed in the right way: guests praise hospitality, atmosphere, music, cocktails, small-producer wines, and the value of a 7-course tasting menu, while noting that service can vary by server. One reviewer singled out the beef noodle dish as the miss; the broader signal is that Yingtao has enough pull to bring diners back for repeat visits.
