Notable Picks
8.3
A Chinatown stalwart built around live-tank seafood and banquet-style classics, best approached with a small team so you can order across styles—one steamed fish, one shellfish dish, one vegetable, and rice. The room is functional, but the payoff is in big-portion Cantonese seafood cooking that’s designed to feed a table.
Must-Try Dishes:
Steamed whole fish (ginger-scallion style), Salt-and-pepper shrimp or squid, Cantonese crab preparation (when available)
What makes it special: Live-seafood Cantonese cooking geared for sharing and variety.
A Chinatown standby for kosher, vegan Chinese comfort built around mock meats, dumplings, and shareable dishes that satisfy even when you’re not eating plant-based. The move is to order a few classics family-style and treat it as comfort food with range.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mock meat dim sum, Vegetable dumplings, Salt-and-pepper style plates (vegan)
What makes it special: Kosher vegan Chinese comfort with a deep dim sum-style menu.

Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings), Cheung Fun (Rice Noodle Rolls), Chicken Feet
What makes it special: One of the area’s go-to cart-service rooms for classic Cantonese dim sum.
