Best dim sum place downtown and I've tried them all , defiantly worth the wait. Get your hands on the duck if it passes you by. Also the spinach dumpling is the best and explodes in your mouth
Nothing here disappoints. Try the dumplings. Some of the best I have ever had.
Ham rice cakes are not your mama's rice cake. Savory, saucy goodness. Tofu ribbon salad is a ribbon winner in my book. Crisp, fresh, yet spicy.
Dine for under $10 in East Village? This hot spot is special in that they hand-pull their own noodles and take a more traditional approach to Chinese cuisine. Not a noodle fan? Go for the lamb face Read more.
When a Chinese restaurant segregates its "American Chinese Food" to the back of their menu, you hope the food is bound to be more authentic. Fortunately this is Chengdu-style Szechuan food done right.
Am from China and The five spice beef cold dish made me feel like back home in china. Highly recommend ! Not a fan of their dumplings cuz the cover quite thick
"Everyone talks about Mission Chinese, but Legend actually has better food and gets less hype. This is where we go to get our crazy Chinese on, sans hipsters and hip hop." http://buff.ly/VKX2eM
Frank Bruni said we all should eat the Double Cooked Pork Belly from Szechuan Gourmet and who are we to argue with that recommendation? (We've eaten and enjoyed it ourselves many times too.) Read more.
For, these are the best crab soup dumplings in Chinatown. Beats Joes, Shanghai Asian Manor, and Old Sichuan, though all those are good, these were better seasoned and tastier $6.95 for 8.
Delicious food!! Ordered the snails in black bean sauce and salt and pepper calamari!! and of course the congee!!!
Get anything from the front of the house: roast duck, roast pork, soy-sauce chicken, wonton soup, congee, ... Watch the cooks give a master class on how to use a meat cleaver.
Eat classic Cantonese food and leave as the sun rises. Chef King Phojanakong (Kuma Inn, Uni Nom): “Favorite for late night. It’s downstairs on Mott Street.”
Amazing dumplings (my faves were the shrimp watercress and the soup dumplings). Also the best scallion pancake of my life!
Soup dumplings and dumplings in red oil are a must! Get one order per person for the dumplings in red oil because you won't want to share.
(Now known as Nice Green Bo) Get the vegetable dumplings! Order house tea. If you aren't a vegetarian, I've heard the pork and crab soup dumplings are great.
Try the steamed-to-order shrimp-and-snow-pea-leaf dumplings, packed with minced shrimp, flecks of scallions and bright, fresh snow-pea leaves. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
End a gluttonous Chinatown dinner with a fantastic assortment of freshly made ice cream – the flavors change, but we like the Blueberry Cheesecake or the Wasabi.
farm to table Chinese from the former frontman at shun lee and a bunch of chinatown cooks. tastes as good as it sounds.
Awesome décor and architecture! And it doesn’t outshine the food! Try the chili rock shrimp, Mongolian lamb chops and lobster fried rice. It’s easy to overdo it here.
Finally in NY! Start off with a Smoky Negroni - a twist on a classic cocktail with a Grand Marnier smoke infusion- simply sublime!
My favorite xiao long bao (soup dumplings) in NYC. Also must try the beef scallion pancake.
This awesome dumpling house will fill you up! Get the sesame pancake and pair it with the hot and sour soup. Yum!
Fun scene, love the Buddha overlooking the dining area. Late night on weekends the music is amazing here. Try the Wasabi Encrusted Filet with Onion Ring stack here, it is exquisite.
Come for the dumplings and buns, and stay for the rice cake noodle dish with pork. It's de best!
