Props for the big tray of chicken (大盘鸡) and pancake with pork (肉夹馍）Seriously the MOST authentic Chinese hole-in-the-wall gem. The dishes are similar to Xi'an, but only more spicy and well-flavored.
This is some of the best roast pork in Chinatown. A serving over rice will set you back about five bucks. Cash only.
Devious authentic food from Xi'an. You will not be disappointed, and the prices are incredibly cheap.
Best in the city: Pork friend dumplings, steamed pork dumplings and scallion pancakes.
Don't let the name fool you - the noodles aren't the only delicious items on the menu at this Chinatown fave. Savor the salt-baked soft-shell crab, duck w/ flowering chives, and killer suckling pig.
Best dumplings I know of in Chinatown. Try the shrimp watercress - you'll be so glad you did.
