Restaurants In Chinatown

Pho Bang
157 Mott St., Chinatown, NYWe don’t claim to be experts on authentic Asian cuisine (or any cuisine for that matter), but we do love us a good bowl of pho. And you might not be surprised to learn that this is definitely what we would have named a pho restaurant if it were up to us. It’s just that [...]

The Fat Radish
17 Orchard St., Chinatown, NYIt’s pretty amazing when you think about it. We actually walked by The Fat Radish a few weeks ago. That’s how we found out about it. Why is that amazing? Because this new restaurant is on Orchard Street, just north of Canal – a dark, cold, sketchy looking block on the fringe of Chinatown that [...]

The streets are filled with stray cats, garbage trucks and an occasional drunken suit stumbling around on Doyers street after a few [...]

Jing Fong
20 Elizabeth Street, Chinatown, NYThere are always a ton of people taking in Chinatown, and they obviously all need to eat. Apparently Jing Fong is where community feeding sessions are held in mass. Wow. This place is massive. So massive that an escalator dumps people directly from the sidewalk into the dining room. That’s got to be some kind [...]

Great NY Noodletown
28 Bowery, Chinatown, NYWe’re well aware that we don’t make it down to Chinatown enough. We’ve been knocking off a bunch of Authentic Ethnic Eats joints over the course the last six months, but most have not been of the Chinese variety. So we figure it’s time to dive in head first, and we might as well start [...]
