Description:
CHINATOWN. Once a theater, the ornate building that houses this beloved Chinese eatery has seen its share of stars over the years. No doubt, Emperor's (or Empire's, depending on to whom you speak) Garden is one of the brightest, thanks to its superb Cantonese dishes. The pre-lunch and Sunday brunch crowds find much to laud about the place's imperial dim sum. |

Description:
CHINATOWN. Make no mistake: It's the food that steals the headlines at this understated gem, hidden away amongst Chinatown's more high-profile restaurants. Delicious takes on Chinese soups and standards like lo mein share menu space with equally outstanding Vietnamese dishes like lemongrass chicken with vermicelli, beef stew or pho. Always friendly, the waitstaff fully embraces first-timers, hoping they depart with a deeper appreciation for the variety Chinatown offers and a new-found love of noodles. A final word: If you're on the look out for something different, try the avocado shake. |

Description:
CHINATOWN. Chau Chow City is just the sort of place you'd expect to find in Chinatown, and its fine reputation is recognized by business types, in-the-know tourists, and neighborhood locals alike. The basic decor is completely overshadowed by traditional Chinese dishes of shrimp, pork, and chicken. Lobster dumplings and rice crepes packed with shrimp also draw raves. Plus, according to regulars, Chau Chow's dim sum can hold its own against anyone else's in the city. |
