The Sino-Vietnamese War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh biên giới Việt-Trung; simplified Chinese: 中越战争; traditional Chinese: 中越戰爭; pinyin: zhōng-yuè zhànzhēng), also known as the Third Indochina War, was a brief border war fought between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in early 1979. China launched the offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978 (which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge).[9] Chinese Vice-premier Deng Xiaoping saw this as a Soviet attempt "to extend its evil tentacles to Southeast Asia and...carry out expansion there," which reflected the long-standing Sino-Soviet split.[10] As the former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger notes: "[w]hatever the shortcomings of its execution, the Chinese campaign reflected a serious, long-term strategic analysis."[11]
The Chinese entered northern Vietnam and captured some of the bordering cities. On March 6, 1979, China declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved. Chinese forces retreated back across the Vietnamese border, into China. Both China and Vietnam claimed victory in the last of the Indochina Wars of the 20th century; as Vietnamese troops remained in Cambodia until 1989, and the Hanoi imposed regime remains in power in Cambodia till today (2014), it can be said that China failed to achieve the goal of dissuading Vietnam from involvement in Cambodia. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Sino-Vietnamese border was finalized.
China demonstrated to its Cold War Communist adversary, the Soviet Union, that they were unable to protect their new Vietnamese ally.[12] Following worsening relations between the Soviet Union and China as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, as many as 1.5 million Chinese troops were stationed along the Soviet-Chinese border, in preparation for a full-scale war.
The Sino-Vietnamese War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh biên giới Việt-Trung) is also known in English as the Third Indochina War, to distinguish it from the First Indochina War, and the Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War.[13] The war is also known in Vietnam as the War against Chinese expansionism (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh chống bành trướng Trung Hoa).[14]
In China, the war is referred to as the Defensive Counterattack against Vietnam (Chinese: 对越自卫反击战; pinyin: Duì Yuè zìwèi fǎnjī zhàn).[15]
Vietnam first became a French colony when France invaded in 1858. By the 1880s, the French had expanded their sphere of influence in Southeast Asia to include all of Vietnam, and by 1893 both Laos and Cambodia had become French colonies as well.[16] Rebellions against French colonial power were common up to World War I. The European war heightened revolutionary sentiment in Southeast Asia, and the independence-minded population rallied around revolutionaries such as Hồ Chí Minh and others, including royalists.
Prior to their attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese occupied French Indochina.[17][18] The Japanese surrender in 1945 created a power vacuum in Indochina, as the various political factions scrambled for control.
The events leading to the First Indochina War are subject to historical dispute.[19] When the Viet Minh hastily sought to establish the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the remaining French at first welcomed the new regime, but then staged a coup to regain control.[18][20] The Kuomintang supported French restoration, but Viet Minh efforts towards independence were helped by Chinese communists under the Soviet Union's power. The Soviet Union at first indirectly supported Vietnamese communists, but later directly supported Hồ Chí Minh.[21][22] The Soviets nonetheless remained less supportive than China until after the Sino-Soviet split, during the time of Leonid Brezhnev when the Soviet Union became communist Vietnam's key ally.
The war itself involved numerous events that had major impacts throughout Indochina. Two major conferences were held to bring about a resolution. Finally, on July 20, 1954, the Geneva Conference resulted in a political settlement to reunite the country, signed with support from China, Russia, and Western European powers.[21] While the Soviet Union played a constructive role in the agreement, it again was not as involved as China.[21][23] The U.S. did not sign the agreement and swiftly moved to back South Vietnam.
The Chinese Communist Party and the Viet Minh had a long history. During the initial stages of the First Indochina War with France, the recently founded communist People's Republic of China had to continue the Russian mission to expand communism. Therefore, they aided the Viet Minh and became the connector between Soviets and the Vietminh. In early 1950, The Viet Minh fought independently from the 'Chinese Military Advisory Group' under Wei Guoqing. This was one of the reasons for China to cut the arms support for the Viet Minh.
After the death of Joseph Stalin, relations between the Soviet Union and China began to deteriorate. Mao Zedong believed the new Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had made a serious error in his Secret Speech denouncing Stalin, and criticized the Soviet Union's interpretation of Marxism–Leninism, in particular Khrushchev's support for peaceful co-existence and its interpretation. This led to increasingly hostile relations, and eventually the Sino-Soviet split. From here, Chinese communists played a decreasing role in helping their former allies because the Viet Minh did not support China against the Soviets.
Following the death of Mao, the overthrow of the Gang of Four and the ascent of Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese leadership would revise its own positions to become compatible with market aspects, denounce the Cultural Revolution, and collaborate with the US against the Soviet Union.
As France withdrew from a provisionally divided Vietnam in the early 1950s, the United States stepped in to support the non-communist leaders of South Vietnam due to the domino theory, which theorized that if one nation would turn to communism, the surrounding nations were likely to fall like dominoes and become communist as well. The Soviet Union and North Vietnam became important allies together due to the fact that if South Vietnam was successfully taken over by North Vietnam, then communism in the far-east would find its strategic position bolstered. In the eyes of the People's Republic of China, the growing Soviet-Vietnamese relationship was a disturbing development; they feared an encirclement by the less-than-hospitable Soviet sphere of influence.
The United States and the Soviet Union could not agree on a plan for a proposed 1956 election meant to unify the partitioned Vietnam. Instead, the south held a separate election that was widely considered fraudulent, leading to continued internal conflict with communist factions led by the Viet Cong that intensified through the late 1950s. With supplies and support from the Soviet Union, North Vietnamese forces became directly involved in the ongoing guerrilla war by 1960 and openly invaded the south in 1964.
The United States played an ever-increasing role in supporting South Vietnam through the period. The U.S. had supported French forces in the First Indochina War, sent supplies and military advisers to South Vietnam throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, and eventually took over most of the fighting against both North Vietnam and the Viet Cong by the mid-1960s. By 1968, over 500,000 American troops were involved in the Vietnamese conflict. Due to a lack of clear military success and facing increasingly strident opposition to the war in the U.S., American forces began a slow withdrawal in 1969 while attempting to bolster South Vietnam's military so that they could take over the fighting. Nevertheless, North Vietnam took control of all of South Vietnam in 1975, soon after American forces completed their withdrawal.
The People's Republic of China started talks with the United States in the early 1970s, culminating in high level meetings with Henry Kissinger and later Richard Nixon. These meetings contributed to a re-orientation of Chinese foreign policy toward the United States. Meanwhile, the People's Republic of China also supported the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
Although the Vietnamese Communists and the Khmer Rouge had previously cooperated, the relationship deteriorated when Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot came to power and established Democratic Kampuchea. After the 1977 Khmer Rouge incursion against the Vietnamese provinces of An Giang, Châu Đốc and Kiên Giang (especially Phu Quoc island) numerous clashes along the border between Vietnam and Cambodia, and encouragement from Khmer Rouge defectors, Vietnam invaded Cambodia in December 1978.
In order to occupy the territory of Cambodia, Vietnam decided to move main forces from the north to the south but still harry the border of China at the command of Soviets. This decision put Vietnam into a bi-directional war with Cambodia and China. When China started attacking the military troops in the north of Vietnam, the Vietnamese government had to move their main forces south to defend their homeland. The Soviets announced that they were supporting the Vietnamese against Cambodian massacres. They sent heavy transport planes to help Vietnam move their main forces.[citation needed]
In late 1978, the Vietnamese military rushed to Phnom Penh quickly and ended the Khmer Rouge regime. However, the main forces continued to occupy Cambodia two years to help the new government stabilize.[citation needed]
While the first war emerged from the complex situation following World War II and the second exploded from the unresolved aftermath of political relations with the first, the Third Indochina War again followed the unsolved problems of the earlier wars.[24]
China, now under Deng Xiaoping, was starting the Chinese economic reform and opening trade with NATO nations, in turn, growing increasingly defiant against the Soviet Union. On November 3, 1978, the Soviet Union and Vietnam signed a twenty-five year mutual defense treaty, which made Vietnam the "linchpin" in the Soviet Union's "drive to contain China."[25]
On January 1, 1979, Chinese Vice-premier Deng Xiaoping visited the United States for the first time and spoke to American president Jimmy Carter: "Our little buddy is getting naughty, it's time he be spanked." (original Chinese words: 小朋友不听话,该打打屁股了。).[26] On February 15, the first day that China could have officially announced the termination of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, Deng Xiaoping declared that China planned to conduct a limited attack on Vietnam.
The reason cited for the attack was to support China's ally, the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia, in addition to the mistreatment of Vietnam's ethnic Chinese minority and the Vietnamese occupation of the Spratly Islands which were claimed by China. To prevent Soviet intervention on Vietnam's behalf, Deng warned Moscow the next day that China was prepared for a full-scale war against the Soviet Union; in preparation for this conflict, China put all of its troops along the Sino-Soviet border on an emergency war alert, set up a new military command in Xinjiang, and even evacuated an estimated 300,000 civilians from the Sino-Soviet border.[27] In addition, the bulk of China's active forces (as many as one-and-a-half million troops) were stationed along China's borders with the Soviet Union.[28]
In response to China's attack, the Soviet Union sent several naval vessels and initiated a Soviet arms airlift to Vietnam. However the Soviet Union felt that there was simply no way that they could directly support Vietnam against China; the distances were too great to be an effective ally, and any sort of reinforcements would have to cross territory controlled by China or U.S. allies. The only realistic option would be to indirectly restart the simmering border war with China in the north. Vietnam was important to Soviet policy but not enough for the Soviets to go to war over. When Moscow did not intervene, Beijing publicly proclaimed that the Soviet Union had broken its numerous promises to assist Vietnam. The Soviet Union's failure to support Vietnam emboldened China to announce on April 3, 1979, that it intended to terminate the 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance.
On February 17, a Chinese force of about 200,000 supported by 200 Type 59, Type 62, and Type 63 tanks from the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered northern Vietnam.[29] The Chinese force consisted of units from the Kunming Military Region (later abolished), Chengdu Military Region, Wuhan Military Region (later abolished) and Guangzhou Military Region, but commanded by the headquarters of Kunming Military Region on the western front and Guangzhou Military Region in the eastern front.
Some troops engaged in this war, especially engineering units, railway corps, logistical units and antiaircraft units, had been assigned to assist North Vietnam in its war against South Vietnam just a few years earlier during the Vietnam War. Contrary to the belief that over 600,000 Chinese troops entered North Vietnam, the actual number was only 200,000.[citation needed] However, 600,000 Chinese troops were mobilized, of which 400,000 were deployed away from their original bases during the one month conflict.[citation needed] Around 200 tanks (specifically Type 59s) were also deployed[citation needed].
The Chinese troop deployments were observed by U.S. spy satellites, and the KH-9 Big Bird photographic reconnaissance satellite played an important role.[citation needed] In his state visit to the U.S. in 1979, the Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping was presented with this information and asked to confirm the numbers. He replied that the information was completely accurate. After this public confirmation in the U.S., the domestic Chinese media were finally allowed to report on these deployments.[citation needed]
The Vietnamese government claimed they left only a force of about 70,000 including several army regular divisions in its northern area. However, the Chinese estimates indicate more than twice this number. During the war, Vietnamese forces also used American military equipment captured during the Vietnam War.
1st Military Region: commanded by Major General Dam Quang Trung, responsible for the defense at Northeast region.[30]
2nd Military Region: commanded by Major General Vu Lap, responsible for the defense at Northwest region.[citation needed] [30]
In addition, Vietnam Forces were supported by about 50,000 militia at each Military Region
The Chinese entered Northern Vietnam and advanced quickly about 15–20 kilometers into Vietnam, with fighting mainly occurring in the provinces of Cao Bằng, Lào Cai and Lạng Sơn. The Vietnamese avoided mobilizing their regular divisions, and held back some 300,000 troops for the defence of Hanoi. The Vietnamese forces tried to avoid direct combat, and often used guerrilla tactics.
The initial Chinese attack soon lost its momentum, and a new wave of attack was sent in. Eight Chinese divisions joined the battle, and captured some of the northernmost cities in Vietnam. After capturing the northern heights above Lang Son, the Chinese surrounded and paused in front of the city in order to lure the Vietnamese into reinforcing it with units from Cambodia. This had been the main strategic ploy in the Chinese war plan as Deng did not want to risk an escalation involving the Soviet Union. The VPA high command, after a tip-off from Soviet satellite intelligence, was able to see through the trap[citation needed], however, and committed reserves only to Hanoi.
Once this became clear to the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), the war was practically over. An assault was still mounted, but the Vietnamese only committed one VPA regiment defending the city.[citation needed] After three days of bloody house-to-house fighting, Lang Son fell on March 6. The PLA then took the southern heights above Lang Son[31] and occupied Sapa. The PLA claimed to have crushed several of the Vietnamese regular units.[6]
The Chinese now resumed their attacks aimed at the major provincial capitals and key communication centres in the border hinter land. Major battles developed at Cao Bằng, Lang Son, Hoang Lien Son, Lai Chau and Quang Ninh. The aim of these attacks was to draw in the regular Vietnamese Army formations and inflict heavy attrition on them through classical "meat-grinder" operations. There were fierce attacks and counterattacks. In Lang Son the Chinese launched 17 counterattacks to regain one objective.
By late last week of February, the Vietnamese had still not committed any of their regular divisions which were being held back for the defence of Hanoi. They had also not pulled out any of their 150,000 troops in Cambodia. In the provincial capital the Vietnamese adopted their favourite tactic: they withdrew from the towns into the adjoining hills. As the Chinese formations surged in they were engaged from all sides from the surrounding hills and quite severely mauled. At the same time, due to the crude tactics and strategy of the PLA command, PLA units also suffered extensive casualties themselves. The combination of high casualties, a badly organized command, harsh Vietnamese resistance and the risk of the Soviets entering the conflict stopped the Chinese from going any farther.[citation needed]
On March 6, China declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved. On the way back to the Chinese border, the PLA destroyed all local infrastructure and housing and looted all useful equipment and resources (including livestock), which were mainly donated by China to support Vietnam's economy prior to the war, severely weakening the economy of Vietnam's northernmost provinces.[6] The PLA crossed the border back into China on March 16. Both sides declared victory with China claiming to have crushed the Vietnamese resistance and Vietnam claiming to have repelled the invasion using mostly border militias. Dr. Henry J. Kenny, a research scientist for CNA, points out that most western writers agree Vietnam outperformed the PLA on the battlefield.[32]
The aftermath of the war had different effects. China and Vietnam each lost thousands of troops, and China lost 3,446 million yuan in overhead, which delayed completion of their 1979–80 economic plan.[33] To reduce Vietnam's military capability against China, the Chinese implemented a "scorched-earth policy" while returning to China, causing extensive damage to the Vietnamese countryside and infrastructure.[citation needed] Although Vietnam continued to occupy Cambodia, China successfully mobilized international opposition to the occupation, rallying such leaders as Cambodia's deposed king Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodian anticommunist leader Son Sann, and high-ranking members of the Khmer Rouge to deny the pro-Vietnam regime in Cambodia diplomatic recognition beyond the Soviet bloc. China improved relations with ASEAN by promising protection to Thailand and Singapore against "Vietnamese aggression". In contrast, Vietnam's decreasing prestige in the region led it to be more dependent on the Soviet Union, to which it leased a naval base at Cam Ranh Bay.[34] On March 1, 2005, Howard W. French wrote in The New York Times: Some historians stated that the war was started by Mr. Deng (China's then paramount leader Deng Xiaoping) to keep the army preoccupied while he consolidated power...[35]
The number of casualties during the war is disputed. Vietnamese source claimed the PLA had suffered 62,500 total casualties[citation needed]; while Chinese democracy activist Wei Jingsheng told western media in 1980 that the Chinese troops had suffered 9,000 deaths and about 10,000 wounded during the war.[36] New Chinese sources indicated that China only suffered 6,954 lost.[37] Existing scholarship tends towards an estimate of as many as 25,000 PLA killed in action and another 37,000 wounded. [2]
Like their counterparts in the Chinese government, the Vietnamese government has never announced any information on its actual military casualties. China estimated Vietnamese side had 42,000 soldiers killed and 70,000 militias also killed by the Chinese PLA.[36] The Nhan Dan newspaper the Central Organ of the Communist Party of Vietnam claimed that Vietnam suffered more than 10,000 civilian deaths during the Chinese invasion[citation needed] and earlier on May 17, 1979, reported statistics on heavy losses of industry and agriculture properties.[citation needed]
The Chinese held 1,636 Vietnamese prisoners and the Vietnamese held 238 Chinese prisoners, they were exchanged at the end of the war.[7][8]
Border skirmishes continued throughout the 1980s, including a significant skirmish in April 1984. Armed conflict only ended in 1989 after the Vietnamese agreed to fully withdraw from Cambodia. This conflict also saw the first use of the Type 81 assault rifle by the Chinese and a naval battle over the Spratly Islands in 1988 known as the Johnson South Reef Skirmish. In 1999 after many years of negotiations, China and Vietnam signed a border pact, though the line of demarcation remained secret.[38]
There was an adjustment of the land border, resulting in Vietnam giving China part of its land which were lost during the battle, including the Ai Nam Quan Gate which served as the traditional border marker and entry point between Vietnam and China, which caused widespread frustration within Vietnam. Vietnam's official news service reported the implementation of the new border around August 2001. Again in January 2009 the border demarcation with markers was officially completed, signed by Deputy Foreign Minister Vu Dung on the Vietnamese side and his Chinese counterpart, Wu Dawei, on the Chinese side.[citation needed] Both the Paracel (Hoàng Sa: Vietnamese) (Xīshā: Chinese) and Spratly (Trường Sa: Vietnamese) (Nansha: Chinese) islands remain a point of contention.[citation needed]
During the Sino-Soviet split, strained relations between China and the Soviet Union resulted in strained relations between China and the pro-Soviet Afghan Communist regime. China and Afghanistan had neutral relations with each other during the King's rule. When the pro-Soviet Afghan Communists seized power in Afghanistan in 1978, relations between China and the Afghan communists quickly turned hostile. The Afghan pro-Soviet communists supported the Vietnamese during the Sino-Vietnamese War and blamed China for supporting Afghan anti-communist militants. China responded to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by supporting the Afghan Mujahideen and ramping up their military presence near Afghanistan in Xinjiang. China acquired military equipment from the United States to defend itself from Soviet attack.[39]
In response to the Soviet threat level, the Chinese People's Liberation Army trained and supported the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. China moved its training camps for the mujahideen from Pakistan into China itself. Hundreds of millions worth of anti-aircraft missiles, rocket launchers and machine guns were given to the Mujahideen by the Chinese. Chinese military advisors and army troops were present with the Mujahideen during training.[40]
The December 2007 announcement of a plan to build a Hanoi-Kunming highway was a landmark in Sino-Vietnamese relations. The road will traverse the border that once served as a battleground. It should contribute to demilitarizing the border region, as well as facilitating trade and industrial cooperation between the nations.[41]
There are a number of Chinese songs, movies and T.V. programs depicting and discussing this conflict with Vietnam in 1979 from the Chinese viewpoint. These vary from the patriotic song "Bloodstained Glory" originally written to laud the sacrifice and service of the Chinese military, to the 1986 film The Big Parade which carried (as far as possible, in China at that time) veiled criticism of the war.[citation needed]
The war was mentioned in the film Đất mẹ (Motherland) directed by Hai Ninh in 1980 and Thị xã trong tầm tay (Town at the Fingertips) directed by Dang Nhat Minh in 1982.[42] Besides in 1982, a document film called Hoa đưa hương nơi đât anh nằm (Flowers over Your Grave) was directed by Truong Thanh, the film told a story of a Japanese journalist who died during the war.[43] During the war, there are numerous patriotic songs produced to boost the nationalism of Vietnamese people, including "Chiến đấu vì độc lập tự do" ("Fight for Independence and Freedom") composed by Pham Tuyen, "Lời tạm biệt lúc lên đường" ("Farewell When Leaving") by Vu Trong Hoi, "40 thế kỷ cùng ra trận" ("40 Centuries We Fought Side By Side") by Hong Dang, "Những đôi mắt mang hình viên đạn" ("The Angry Gaze") by Tran Tien and "Hát về anh" (Sing for you) by The Hien. The Sino-Vietnamese War also appeared in some novels such as: Đêm tháng Hai (Night of February) written by Chu Lai in 1979 and Chân dung người hàng xóm (Portrait of the Neighborhood) written by Duong Thu Huong in 1979.

- Recommended to us.JulieDined on 10/30/2014A fabulous restaurant. Waiting staff full of charactor and very friendly. Steak of the highest quality and very well priced. Really noisy with loud New Yorkers having a party. It was fun to watch. Would recommend to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!diniVIPDined on 10/29/2014This is the place for meat! The space is warm, the service, knowledgeable and friendly, and the food is sublime. The ribs were outstanding and done to perfection; the rib eye was delicious, and oh, those sides! The corn chowder was amazing!! This is a meat lover's paradise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best thing there is not on the menui82dayVIPDined on 10/28/2014The Maître d, Sophie, is amazing! Take care of her $$ and your dinning experience will start off effortlessly. Busy spot, if you don't have a reservation don't even try. The food, servers and cocktails are spot on. We literally have had everything on the menu. The bone in ribeye is a show stopper. Bon AppétitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the name says it allktd8Dined on 10/27/2014killer crab cakes and killer steaks. the sauce goes beautifully with the beef and the parmesan waffle fries, the mash (with chorizo), the crispy roasted potatoes, creamed corns and creamed spinach are brilliant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meat but VERY noisy...MiriDined on 10/27/2014The filet mignon is simply incredible good!!! All meats looks great and their steak sauce is just amazing! But it's definatly TOO noisy! You can't hear what your partner says...! This is really a pitty!Special Features:
- UnderwhelmedGentlemanFarmerDined on 10/26/2014Took my family here for my sons 18th birthday. Having eaten at many of NYCs steakhouses and seeing the great reviews I was excited. However the food, and the steak in particular, was not very impressive. My son and I ordered the porterhouse, and while the sirloin half was very good, the filet was fatty and too chewy. Sides were average as were the apps. Great wine by the glass selection though. Not sure if quality was down cause it was a Sunday night but I'd be much more inclined to repeat at Keens, Del Frisco's, and other spots before I head back to Quality Meats.Special Features:
- Fantastic mealOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/25/2014Took my wife here for her 40th on a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was modern, quirky and very atmospheric. The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent and were some of the nodes steaks we had ever had. They were perfectly cooked and flavoursome. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The only minus point was it was a little bit noisy.Special Features:
- Awesome food!deepsouthdelightDined on 10/25/2014Great food and service! Would definitely go back here on my next trip to New York. The steaks were amazing and the prices were great for what we got.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/25/2014Had a group of six on a saturday night. We arrived a bit later than our reservation, but the host was cool about it. Really fantastic meal. Steaks were incredible. All the appetizers were delicious. Get the cheesy gnocchi and the bone marrow. I could not have enjoyed the meal more. Highly recommended...Special Features:
- Favorite restaurant in New YorkSR33Dined on 10/24/2014Every time we visit NY, Quality Meats is one of our destinations. Absolutely love the ambience & the food even better. Only suggestion, turn the radio down. it was very loud on the top floor & we were underneath the speaker which made it hard to converse. Other then that...pure perfectionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food - great servicePickyeaterDined on 10/24/2014Love this restaurant - never disappointed. Food is beyond delicious and the service was perfect. Noisy restaurant, so be prepared to speak up to be heard at your table. We complained about the loud and rowdy noise from an adjoining table and the manager immediately came over to apologize. He graciously sent us an extra (delicious) dessert as well. I would eat here every week if I had the time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodMomofnjDined on 10/24/2014Excellent food, good service. Corn creamer brûlée and crispy potatoes excellent , steak was great, skip the mushrooms..... Will return, on the expensive sideSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't walk, run to this restaurant!MarcikinsDined on 10/23/2014I was looking for a very special night out with my family and friends to celebrate my 60th birthday and Quality Meats fit the bill perfectly. The food is top notch and the restaurant is exquisite in both service and ambiance. If you are looking for high quality food with a unique touch this is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality is the key wordIxnidinerDined on 10/21/2014Everything at Quality Meats lives up to the quality part of the name, service, ambiance, food, everything really, definately expecting to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- With a name like that2diners9VIPDined on 10/21/2014We had to try it, 3 steak lovers , senior ciitizens at that. Food is delicious, a little different from your average steakhouse. It's loud, lively and fun. Go, you'll be glad you didSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lacking in servicetacori121Dined on 10/21/2014Usually make it a point to stop here when I visit NY. The past times the service has been excellent. However, this time our server rushed our dinner, dropped of our dishes, and didn't time things out properly. He did check back with us to see if we were ok and and maintain the table, but overall he came off rude. I've had very personable waiters in the past that really make it an experience at Quality Meats. So I was surprised to have someone that was a robot order taker.Special Features:
- Good Food / front of house chaoticDP26Dined on 10/20/2014Having arrived at 825 for our 830 reservation we were left standing around in a crowded area at the front of the restaurant for the best part of half an hour waiting for our table. The FOH team seemed overwhelmed and the seating process was chaotic at best. The table service was excellent though as was the food. Better control of the Front o House and this review would have been excellent....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- simply deliciouswouldIeathereDined on 10/20/2014Marvelous experience...service, porterhouse, side items, all superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No man's landGoodisgoodDined on 10/20/2014We were walked through two vibrant dinning rooms to a back room that had about 10 tables. The room was dead and had none of the excitement or charm of the main dinning rooms. The porterhouse for two was decent. For a two hundred dollar bill, there was too much gristle on the meat. It's always nice to try a new steakhouse but for the money, it's not in my top five.
- GreatIkioneVIPDined on 10/20/2014An amazing must go place!! Great location. For family, bussiness and romantic ocasions. The food is wonderful and the service is out of categories. EXCELLENT Our best restaurant finding in New York City.Special Features:
- It was OKOut4lunchDined on 10/20/2014The food was just OK. For the price, there was nothing memorable and there are better steakhouses in NYC.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Generous portionNinoDined on 10/19/2014While the portion is generous, excellent quality of beef, great presentation, however, the flavor is below my expectation. The mushroom taste weird bitter and spice. The waffle potato were too soft. The bone marrow was generous and made us half full already. I wish the waiter told us if we order too much food. We had to request few times for water refill. Really? For that price, I wish I do not have to do so (many times). The toffee dessert was extremely sweet. Going back? Maybe not. Too many great steakhouse in NYC.Special Features:
- Modern Steakhouse, Classic TasteWork2Live2EatVIPDined on 10/19/2014Great steak house in heart of New York with a more modern look and feel while still maintaining a steak house feel. Overall steaks were cooked very well and house made steak sauce was a nice complement to the entree. Rib steak with oversized rib bone made for a nice Wow moment when it arrived. Good steak nothing that made it stood out against the other premier steak houses in New York but definitely on par. Service was outstanding especially the wait staff that prepared the sauces that evening. Free Sunday parking in the area was a nice perk as well.Special Features:
- Worth Every PennyChrisDined on 10/18/2014One of the best steaks I've ever had, and in one of the coolest restaurant atmospheres I've seen. The food is out of this world -- and that includes everything from the appetizers we tried to the entrees. Worth every penny!Special Features:
- tomahawk steakKBmasterbeastDined on 10/18/2014Well, it is a high end NYC steak house with the DNA of the founders of Smith and Wollenski. Great portions, excellent quality and wonderful selections. A solid wine offering but a little skinny in the dessert area. It is very noisy and tight, our server was a little absentminded, but overall this place doesn't disappoint. It was our second visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LtCacaldaDined on 10/18/2014Been twice and I live in Toronto. Amazing team-oriented service. Awesome steak. I've recommended the corn creme brulee to everybody.Special Features:
- What's in a name?dannyworldwideDined on 10/17/2014Definitely lives up to the name "quality meats." Eye-catching interior and cocktail bar. Quality comes at a price in NYC, but plenty of steakhouses are similarly priced and don't deliver the value.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely greatVickiroVIPDined on 10/17/2014T/he food, awesome, the service, top notch. Loved it.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/17/2014Great wine list, great service, beautiful restaurant - but very disappointed in the food. Shouldn't have tried something new - husband wanted Del Frisco's and the steaks here didn't even come close.Special Features:

- First ClassSjsbasb2804Dined on 10/17/2014Great food, excellent service and a great wine selection all combine to make your night a special one indeed. I highly recommend and endorse this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Medium-rareanonmanDined on 10/17/2014Other than a sommelier that is sure he's smarter than you the service is superb and helpful. The steak is excellent and medium-rare is actually medium-rare!Special Features:
- Attentive serviceKPCM2013Dined on 10/15/2014We dined at Quality Meats on October 16th. My wife has a gluten allergy and both of our servers were extremely accommodating and did their due diligence to ensure that what she had ordered was safe. Even though the restaurant was very busy, they were both very patient and understanding. The food was excellent - we had the bone marrow for appetizer, our main course of steak & salmon were cooked just the way we wanted and had the matcha mango bubble tea for dessert - but it was the amazing service that made the whole experience for us. Thank you for a wonderful evening! It's just unfortunate that I cannot remember their names.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not up to expectationsDisappointedDined on 10/15/2014Although steaks were done as requested (medium rare) they were not juicy and succulent as anticipated. Have certainly had better at other steak houses. Caesar salad was mediocre. Brussels sprouts were the stand out from assortment ordered.. Monkey bread dessert was very good.
- Amazing food/exciting atmosphere.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/14/2014I saw this restaurant on the television show Serious Eats. I came and ordered exactly what was on the show. It was exactly as expected.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing. Simply amazing.chobapDined on 10/14/2014SO and I came here for a nice dinner since he loves steak and I'd heard great things about Quality Meats. I did my research prior to going so we knew what we were ordering for the most part: steak tartare, creamed spinach, corn creme brulee, and the 24oz ribeye along with the chatham cod ). Steak tartare was AMAZING, full of flavor and I love the slightly chewy, sashimi-like texture of the raw beef. Creamed spinach was also awesome, as was the corn creme brulee which I could eat forever. SO's steak (med rare) was absolutely humongous and charred and seasoned perfectly, complemented nicely by their steak sauce. The cod was decent but not amazing. Our server was great and even fixed the wobbly table. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Experience OverallJamesDined on 10/13/2014I took my girlfriend to Quality Meats to celebrate our 1 year anniversary together. Everything about the experience was perfect. We arrived a few minutes early for our 7:30 reservation. We were seated within 5 minutes. We sat upstairs and were served by 3 members of the staff. All 3 of them treated us exceptionally. We started off with a glass of champagne. That was followed by the meatball appetizer which was a special. We both then had the Filet. We ordered the parmesan waffle fries and baby potatoes. We both had wine with our meals. We split the monkey bread dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. One of the servers found out that it was our anniversary and our dessert plate had "Happy Anniversary" spelled out in syrupSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one of the bestHowardVIPDined on 10/13/2014took my friend to one of the best steak houses in NYC, had quite a few apps and then shared the porter house for 2 and the rib steak for 3 people. Everything was fantastic, will return for sureSpecial Features:
- NewYork SteakMichael25Dined on 10/12/2014From a warm professional welcome to the table it took only five minutes in the crowded industrial-chic Restaurant. The service had been fast and competent and the recoments are very qualified. The lobstercocktail as a starter is a real bargain, the ribeye and the filet mignon was exzellent and cooked perfect as ordered. The sideorders are the specialties, from parmesanpotatoes to creamspinach in the basket, everything was wonderful. We had a real nice steakhouse experience without normal frenchfries and ketchup, we will be back soon.Special Features:
- Steak sans stodginessBonApetit787VIPDined on 10/12/2014Quality Meats delivers a great steak without the stodginess of the traditional steak house.

European travel descended into chaos as a second wave of snow and sub-zero weather conditions swept as far south as Italy, paralysing airports, motorways and public transport. Hundreds of flights to and from Europe's busiest airports were cancelled and millions of passengers left stranded in France, Germany, Belgium and Scandinavia as airports closed or faced severe delays. Thousands spent the night in terminals as blizzards continued and authorities struggled to clear snow from runways and cope with high winds. Meteorological offices predict little respite from arctic conditions, with more heavy snow from midday until midnight expected this week.

Last week, we had a good laugh after a reader e-mailed us about a $12,000 knish supposedly made with caviar, Kobe beef, foie gras, truffles, and moose snout. It was obviously satire (Suffolk Kitchen was actually the readers apartment), but Trend Hunter (along with Luxuo and Born Rich) picked up the story, minus the part about an American Apparel model defiling the knish tableside, and ran it seemingly as fact. Now one of our favorite media critics, Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic, has linked to it with a straight face. Come on, Mr. Sullivan dont believe everything you read.

Stabbing on Mockingbird Lane sends one to hospital
Updated On: May 07 2014 07:37:07 AM CDT
A stabbing sent one woman to the hospital and put another woman behind bars Monday morning.
Abilene police and city marshals responded to the incident at a home in the 2000 block of Mockingbird Lane just before 9 a.m. Officers on scene told KTXS it was a family violence incident and the victim suffered non-life threatening injuries, but they did not elaborate further.
The alleged assailant was handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car and the victim could be seen holding a bloody towel around her neck as she walked to the ambulance.
