I never know how to answer the question: “Where should I eat
in Chinatown?” I always just wander
until I stumble upon something that looks delicious. So, here is my attempt to sum up some of my
wanderings!
The Dumplings on Mosco Street: http://frieddumplingnyc.com
You get five dumplings for $1. You don’t get a choice of dumplings. They are all pork. They are fried. They are greasy. They are crispy. They are delicious. Best deal in all of New York and probably the
best dumplings. You don’t go there to
sit for a leisurely meal. You go, get
your dumplings, they are usually handed to you by a rude lady (I like to
believe this adds to the authenticity), and then you can eat while you stand or
walk on Mosco street, OR, more highly recommended, sit in Columbus Park and
take in the sites.
Most Excellent Dumpling House: http://excellentdumplinghouse.com
More dumplings – more flavors – more varieties – AND you can
sit down. They also have soups, eggs
rolls, rice pancakes, etc…
Mandarin Court: http://www.mandarincourtnewyork.com
Go there! Get the
fried pork chops. Get the soup
dumplings. Get the boneless duck. They have large tables that can comfortably
seat a larger group.
88 Palace: http://88palacerestaurant.com
This is the place to go to get Dim Sum. You sit at a table, carts filled with
delicious go by you, you flag down the deliciousness, you eat the
deliciousness. To add to the awesomeness,
you are eating it underneath the Manhattan Bridge. That it pretty cool.
Join the Bubble Tea fad!
Get gooey tapioca goodness. They
also have a bathroom – a valuable commodity in Chinatown.
You can come here to get normal ice cream, but why would you
do that? Venture out and try their
Durian or Sesame ice cream. They also
have Taro, Zan Butter, Pandan, Don Tot, and Red Bean.
