Crop Circle was a Chinese restaurant located at 126 MacDougal Street in New York City, specializing in guokui, a traditional Chinese flatbread. The restaurant received positive reviews for its unique offerings and quality food. However, it has been permanently closed since May 2022.

Crop Circle New York Experience The Unique Guokui Flatbread Delight 

Tucked away at 126 MacDougal Street in the vibrant heart of Greenwich Village, Crop Circle was a beloved culinary gem in New York City. This tiny, fast-casual eatery specialized in serving authentic Chinese Guokui — a traditional stuffed flatbread hailing from Hubei province. Known for its large, thin, and crispy exterior coated with sesame seeds, Guokui is generously filled with a variety of savory and sweet ingredients, creating a flavorful and portable street food delight perfect for on-the-go foodies and curious travelers alike.

Crop Circle's menu featured an exciting range of Guokui fillings, adored by locals and visitors for their authentic taste and innovative combinations. Standout favorites included the Spicy Beef, which offered a savory, subtly spicy kick paired beautifully with a Hawaiian Mango sauce, and the Salted Egg Yolk with Pork Floss, delivering a unique, mildly rich flavor that surprised many first-timers. For those preferring vegetarian options, the Preserved Vegetable Guokui provided a delightful balance of textures and tastes. Fans also raved about the Taro Guokui, slightly sweet and nutty, offering a comforting dessert-style experience.

What Made Crop Circle a Greenwich Village Favorite

Despite its discreet signage and small size, Crop Circle captured hearts with its friendly staff and speedy service. Guests appreciated the cozy interior, albeit with limited seating, and often took their Guokui to nearby Washington Square Park to enjoy a scenic meal while people-watching. The tandoor ovens behind the counter baked the flatbreads to crispy perfection every time, ensuring each bite was a sensation of crunchy edges and soft, doughy centers. Whether you were craving a hearty snack or a unique cultural food experience, Crop Circle was a standout destination for authentic Chinese street food in New York.

 No, Crop Circle permanently closed in May 2022.

Looking for a convenient, hearty, and portable snack? Then look no further than the guo kui sold at Crop Circle.  Guo kui is a popular and traditional Chinese flatbread.  It can be stuffed with savory or sweet ingredients like beef, chicken, pickled veggies, taro, etc.  If you are in the area (Greenwich Village) definitely stop by Crop Circle and try one as there aren’t many places in New York to grab one of these.

Crop Circle is a tiny, fast casual restaurant with very discreet signage in front; walk too quickly and you might miss it.  Inside are some of the friendliest staff people.  We chatted for a bit and they let us go behind the counter to check out the two tandoor ovens used to make the guo kui.

The flatbreads are huge (bigger than my face!) and comes out so very toasty from the oven.  It’s best to eat this as soon as you can, to get the maximum flavor and texture. We tried the Spicy Beef, Salted Egg Yolk with Pork Floss, and the Taro.  I loved the crunchy, slightly flaky edges and doughy middle.  My favorite was the Spicy Beef guo kui.  The beef filling was flavorful and slightly spicy.  It tasted wonderful paired with the Hawaiian Mango sauce.  The Salted Egg with Pork Floss was also good.  The filling was drier and less fatty than the Spicy Beef.  The salted yolk flavor was slight and not as strong as you would think.  The Taro guokui was also really yummy.  Slightly sweet and slightly nutty.

The guo kui were very filling and so worth it.  I’ll definitely be back.

This was really delicious! I got a spicy beef and a taro. I really enjoyed them both, and it’s something unique that I haven’t seen around anywhere else. The people working here are really friendly and will talk to about the origin and area this food is from. Truly enjoyed it and will come back!

Fantastic and unique food item.  The Guokui is apparently a popular Chinese street food.  The restaurant named it after the town they spent time in learning to create it.

It is a crispy, yet tender piece of bread, about as thick as naan, covered with sesame seeds and filled with meat or vegetables.  I got one beef and one pork version.  Both delicious but I prefer the pork flavor.  I got the chili sauce as a condiment, but I felt it was unnecessary as the guokui has enough flavor in its own right. Also, I felt the chili sauce had a bit too much (what I think) Sichuan pepper which drowned out the other flavors.

You need to try as I’m sure you’ve had nothing like this!

Crop Circle is an eatery you can easily miss if you are walking too fast on MacDougal Street, but it is one that should not be missed. Crop Circle serves up a variety of Guokui, stuffed Chinese flatbreads. the interior is welcoming, organized well, and superclean—there’s a few tables with seats and the order counter. there’s some cool art drawn on bags. don’t fret if there are no seats bc Washington Square Park is just a block or two away so you can sit, eat, and people watch.

been to Crop Circle twice and each visit did not disappoint. the “Guokui” menu has savory, sweet, and vegetarian options for all. the guokui is served piping hot—the  flatbread is large, crispy, puffy, soft and delicious. the flatbread is filled with a thin layer of filling, and topped with sesame seeds. had the “Spicy Beef” as well as “Cajun Chicken.”  both guokui were really good and savory, fatty smooth, full of bread carbs. and a satisfying street food /snack. i really like the “Spicy Beef” as it had a nice kick of heat to eat. the fillings are spread throughout the crispy bread, and the dough is crunchy soft and fatty goodness. the guokui takes about 10-15 minutes to make and it’s totally worth the wait. the guokui is a great snack item when you don’t want a full meal or just want to share a bite with friends. each guokui, $8.75 + tax + tip

the staff is really friendly and works hard.
