The 38 Essential Restaurants in New York City
"If you’re looking for old-school Chinatown, you might not think to start with a restaurant that opened in 2022. But Uncle Lou is one of the area’s most popular restaurants for a reason. The menu is large — as in, there are over 200 dishes — and most dishes are portioned for a family reunion. Start with the section called Loh Wah Kiu Favorites. There, you’ll find crowd-pleasing dishes and maybe something new: crispy, Chenpi duck flavored with Mandarin orange peel, or marbled beef buried in crunchy garlic chives. At dinner, there’s almost always a wait." - Eater Staff
