(There are two Lan Zhou locations in Chinatown though I’m not sure if they’re related. I visited the location on East Broadway and Pike Street.) Let me start by saying that if you’re looking for ambiance or good service, stay far the fuck away from here. While no one was rude to me, the servers [...]

I haven’t been a fan of Wong’s since they opened up almost ten years ago. Their soup broth has absolutely no flavor and I hate Chinese restaurants that have pictures on the wall (that never wind up looking like what you ordered), make french fries, have ketchup available, uses frozen vegetables etc. Additionally, their credit [...]

I used to think that China Fun was the best option for Chinese food in the East 60th’s but with Szechuan Chalet having recently opened on 72nd and 2nd and my joyful discovery of Grand Sichuan Eastern on 55th and 2nd the tides have turned. I’d rather get delivery from either of those places but [...]

I’m not really sure what to make of Hong Kong Station, the do itself your noodle soup chain that’s starting to invade Chinatown. The premise is simple, pick the noodle size you want (all$1.50) which will go into what I considered to be a generic chicken broth and then pick add on’s (all $2 or [...]

You know how every once in a while you eat at a restaurant and you’re so happy with what you ordered that you want to come back and eat through the menu? That’s how I felt about New Chao Chow the first time I was there. New Chao Chow is one of few restaurants in [...]

I don’t really go to Chinese bakeries for the food more often I go for the juice boxes that contain a host of exotic beverages. You can guava juice, sugarcane juice and even a virgin pina colada like drink in these little boxes. I think they each cost about 75 cents at most. The minced [...]

I must have walked by this cart on Grand Street at least fifty times before I decided to see what all of the fuss was about. People (almost all Asian) would be lined up ten deep to order what looked like rice noodles cut with scissors, squirted with a bunch of sauces and put into [...]

There’s a reason that Chinese bakery Mei Li Wah has survived for so long when a tons of similar spaces in Chinatown have gone out of business and then gone out of business again. It happens to have one of the best meal deals in the city, perhaps right on par with Gray’s Papaya. The baked roast pork [...]

It is all too easy to mistake Kar Won in midtown Manhattan for one of those generic Chinese American restaurants with the illuminated pictures on the wall and French fries on the menu but that would be a big mistake. While Kar Won does offer General Tso’s chicken, Buffalo chicken wings, wonton soup and egg [...]
