The 38 Best Restaurants in New York City
"The full-fledged dim sum experience at sprawling, football field-sized spots like Sunset Park’s Bamboo Garden or Pacificana and Chinatown’s Golden Unicorn or Jing Fong is delightfully frenetic; its zooming carts doling out steaming-hot food means ample stimuli for kids. But for the same excellent cuisine in a relatively serene environment, there’s always Nom Wah Tea Parlor. At Chinatown’s oldest restaurant, dim sum is ordered from a menu in lieu of carts, and the 1920s decor is a delight."
"There are hundreds of Chinese food restaurants in New York, but few have been slinging dumplings since Woodrow Wilson was president. The oldest dim sum parlor in the city, this Chinatown eatery kept its old-school charm with a vintage façade and old-school booths. Use a pencil to choose dishes like fried sesame balls with lotus paste and a pan-fried dumpling platter."
"What: If you’re looking for dim sum Nom Wah Tea Parlor is where to go. It’s been around since 1920 maknig some of the city’s best dumplings."
"Where: 215 West 85th Street (Upper West Side); Other locations: 90 3rd Avenue (East Village); 1 Dekalb Avenue (Brooklyn). What: Critics say the chain’s best location is the original NY outpost on Third Avenue, and since that’s the only one we’ve been to we blindly agree. Their dan dan noodles are spicy but delicious, and the pickled vegetables are a must for the table."
"The beloved Philadelphia restaurant chain opened its first outpost in New York's East Village in 2013, and it quickly became a favorite with New Yorkers. An Upper West Side outpost followed in April 2015. Items on the menu are scored one to 10 based on spiciness, with 10 topping out at mouth-scorching."

"Chinese hot pot, customarily stewed with thinly sliced meats, vegetables and stock, gets a brothless showcase with this East Village eatery from owner Ning Amelie Kang and chef Qilong Zhao. Named after the Chinese phenomenon of ma la (literally “numbing and spicy”), the restaurant’s starring dish is a variation on Chongqing-hailing dry pot, a stir-fry-like spread built with a choice of 52 add-ins: Meats extend from beef tenderloin to pig artery; fish fillets and squid balls can be paired with frog; and vegetables include more obscure produce like chayote and konjac noodles. Beyond the pot, diners can pull up to a 15-seat communal table or a marble-topped counter for snacks like steamed egg custard."
"Visit the cozy Málà Project for their signature Sichuan dry pot. The menu is stacked with more than 50 ingredients, ranging from the innocuous (chicken thighs, snow peas) to the bold (rooster testicles, beef artery). Depending on the size of your party, you’ll choose at least eight items, which will be spiced mightily and tossed in a wok."

"Don't let the silly name fool you: Big Wong is a favorite among fans of classic small-plate, Hong Kong-style fare. It's a bit of a dive, but it's worth it for the congee (a rice porridge served with a variety of meats and sides)."

"Opened in 2012, it’s the brainchild of Raffaele Ronca, a native of Naples and former chef at Bellavitae and Palma, and Romeo Palmisano, also from Naples. This 70-seat, bi-level trattoria draws on Ronca’s ancestral heritage of butchers and fishers to give the food a family touch. The tonnarelli cacio e pepe and the branzino with spinach and potatoes are excellent choices."
