Ok option if other waits are too long nearby. But don’t drink water..tastes funky here! Mix of Malay, Thai & Viet dishes..Vietnamese spring rolls, Thai fish cakes + Roti w/ Chicken curry were okay.
A mini Chelsea market in the middle of Chinatown. Adorable, unique, and hippie cool. Make sure to bring your pocket book though 👌🏼
Meat portions are a lot better than 99 Taste. Tom yum broth is pretty spicy. Service is a little better than 99 but the host was awful. They let Chinese girl a table before us.
A wonderful low-fuss Chinatown option that never disappoints. I love the pan fried steamed rice noodles. So much better than the dim-sum options surrounding it.
Excellent pork and chive dumplings and hand pulled noodles. Can’t beat the value here either! They sell bags of frozen dumplings to go as well.
There's a general consensus that this place has some of the best nachos in NYC so definitely don't miss those!
All you can eat wings, fries & unlimited pitchers of beer for 2 hours! $23/person, 6 person minimum, $28/for premium beer
Winner of Best Use of XO Sauce in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The turnip cakes are tossed in the chile and fish sauce.
The bbq pork is excellent as is the won ton soup - made with real home made dumplings
That's right go down the fuckin stairs moron! Who goes upstairs? I'll tell you: Assholes! Closed on Chinese New Year for a few weeks & occasionally around 5am to clean up. Go with friends, share food
This is one of our favorite places for Sunday Dim Sum – the food is always hot and delicious, we love the pork buns and radish cake. Ignore the inevitable language barrier.
The food here is fantastic...you feel like you just stepped off the plane in Italy. Homemade pastas are fantastico and the mussels are supafly.
Every time you come here, the duck & porkchops is a MUST. Or for reg self dish, #23(beefstewnoodle) or the curry !
Two-year-old Chinatown restaurant that calls itself a diner and espresso bar: Half the menu is Hong Kong–style Western food; the other half is straight-up Cantonese.
This wonderful new restaurant plans to open up a bar that's attached to the food shop, but unopened until about April, as predicted by the owner. Everything is made from scratch--get it all! So good!
Try the bot chien trieu chau-recipe mires taro sticks in a matrix of egg & rice flour, strewn w. fried shallots, providing crunch/extra flavor, & furnished w. a bowl of a red-wine-vinegar sauce.
The decor may be kitschy and the service often perfunctory, but the soft-shell crabs, pho with beef and scallions, and barbecued pork chops are magnificent - a Vietnamese standout in Chinatown.
Try the tartare ($12), its sweetness is harnessed by horseradish cream, salty little globes of roe and caraway-dusted rye crumble. Read more.
The beauty of this dish lies in the diversity of textures, rich loamy flavors, and abundance of broken rice. Squirt on the sriracha!
This new-ish Thai restaurant focuses on sharp flavors like fish sauce, hot chiles, tamarind, etc. It explores the mix of Laotian and Siamese cuisines in a way unseen before. Try the Sai Krog Isan. Read more.
Off menu schnitzel, veal was perfect. Love the octopus pastrami and save room for milk bread!
As the name implies, this venerable Mott Street restaurant serves excellent Cantonese-style seafood dishes, but the off-the-cart dim sum is really the star of the show here. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Seafood curry noodle soup, made extra spicy was to die for. Where in NYC can a party of 5 be immensely happy with the food, that ranks with the highest of cheap ethnic faves? Server was a gem too!
Hip-hop kimchee basketball burgers and 100 hot sauces. These guys deserve to blow up...
An institution in the Financial District. Mondays and Tuesday feature awesome value meals – the ziti is fresh and the pizza is cheesy. Only open Monday through Friday.
Their individual dish sizes are huge! You can easily share it with another person.
Don't drop your crepe on the ground before you eat it unless you like being sad.
It's packed with wonderfully fresh and authentic Italian food and the walls are covered with great fun facts.
Attentive and friendly staff. Had the rabbit schnitzel for dinner which was delicious. Would definitely come back here again. Next time a little earlier to grab a drink in the bar room before dinner.
This place offers the best bang for your buck lunch in the area. 5 dumplings for $1 served by the famous "Angry Dumpling Lady"
Hong Kong-style diner with a mixed bag of a menu. Stick to simple sandwiches and hot buttered pineapple buns for best results.
Italian specialty goods, imported cheese, and some hefty sandwiches. Aim for ones with homemade mozzarella or ricotta.
Best Vietnamese spot in Chinatown. Come for lunch early or it will be full. Good portion and delicious stock
My fav place for authentic Chinese noodles as I love their Fish meat spicy noodles. Lanzhou noodles is good & not spicy. Might be bland for some. I like to order herbal drink to go with the noodles!
Great little Ramen spot. The noodles were medium firm, just how I like them and the miso beef broth is craaaazzzy good.
Great addition. Vanessa's dumplings, artichoke pizza, cinnamon snail seem the best options.
Great inventive sushi at a really solid price. 12 for 80, 15 for 120 and handroll. Pieces are on the smaller side. Mackerel was really unique
CAUTION: Review the check carefully. They intentionally mislabel a 15% gratuity as "Tax." People don't notice because it's usually a small difference, but you end up paying tip on top of the tip.
The view alone overshadows all the other great things happening here. Interesting pre-fixed menu in the dining room but I favor the bar menu which I look forward to trying. Can’t go wrong either way.
