From the founders of Employees Only, we welcome you to Macao Trading Company.

Please Join Us...Our task, which we take great pleasure in, is to transport you...leave your inhibitions at the door.

Macao Trading Co. takes its inspiration from the brothels and opium dens of old 1930's Macao...an exotic time-out-of-time place...mysterious, adventurous, decadent.

Whether an intimate dinner, large party, or late night dining, take advantage of our signature Eurasian cuisine: a sumptuous blend of Chinese and Portuguese influences.

Located on Church St, at the edge of Tribeca, Macao’s décor is a dramatic composition of lighting, relics, and industrial iron work. The high ceilings and tucked away location provide a fit setting for the restaurant’s 1940's portside warehouse feel, recalling the adventure of Macao’s "red lantern district."

"Macao, a fugitive's haven from which there's no turning back..."
- Macao, 1952

The vibe in the restaurant and bar is very chill (although the folks at the bar occasionally piped up with great excitement). Food is delicious- don’t overlook the crispy whole fish or the lobster noodles. Dumplings and mushroom croquettes are also fabulous. Service was really great. I highly recommend this place.

The interior was very cool and we really liked the ambiance. The menu was definitely asian and not portuguese at all. We tried the ribs, the calamari, the bok choy and the ants climbing a tree noodles. The standout was definitely the Ants Climbing noodle dish. It was our favorite. The calamari unfortunately was overdone, dry and chewy, barely edible. The ribs were tasty but also overdone and so a bit dry as well. The bok choy was good but nothing to write home about.
