Chinatown for the Win

Ryan Carter: I wish Canton Kitchen ran a food-plane to bring me Canto-goodness from New York- and I live in China. Nothing better short of Guangdong itself

Richie C: My only dim sum place. Fresh food and allows private seating for parties of two.

Felix Sargent: Devious authentic food from Xi'an. You will not be disappointed, and the prices are incredibly cheap.

Jess Kantor: Best in the city: Pork friend dumplings, steamed pork dumplings and scallion pancakes.

Serious Eats: This is some of the best roast pork in Chinatown. A serving over rice will set you back about five bucks. Cash only.

Epicurious: 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.

Varun Shetty: Dumplings Til You Die: keep running back orders of the soup and steamed pork dumplings. Until they wheel you out of there. In a coffin. To the cemetery. Because you died. Of deliciousness.

sharilyn: Shrimp and Bacon Roll is the stuff of dreams. This place is the real deal!

momofuku: the lobster country-style and chives with lily bulbs are must orders. don’t forget the limited dim sum menu available at dinner.

Emily Householder Stacey: This is real authentic Chinese food, I studied abroad in Beijing I would know. Get the soup dumplings, the best I've ever had!

Untapped Cities: If you don't end up with 2-3 times as many bamboo baskets as you have people at your table, you're doing it wrong. Want a good seat? Come early on Sunday morning... it fills up quicker than you will. Mehr erfahren.

Christen Duong: The best soup dumplings in the city! Amazingly never too crowded, and spacious for Chinatown.

Pauline Li: 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.

Sarah Meyer: Best dumplings I know of in Chinatown. Try the shrimp watercress - you'll be so glad you did.

Darshy N: The best authentic Chinese food in Chinatown. It's basically a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but the food is amazing, even the snails! [Eww I know] Was featured on A. Bourdain's travel channel show. Mehr erfahren.
