The 38 Essential Restaurants in New York City

"Uluh in the East Village caters to students with some cash (in that it’s not cheap). There’s a selection of dim sum, which includes items like Shanghai seaweed dumpling soup, loofah dumplings, and Sichuan-style pig ears. In addition to dim sum, Uluh displays some exciting small plates: beef and tripe in chile oil or Nanjing salted duck, and a cold salad with okra and chiles, for example. The rest of the menu is divided into signature dishes, the “Uluh ten,” stir-fry, spicy dishes, vegetables, soups, noodles, and dishes for a New Yorker. The latter isn’t your typical General Tso’s, though there is that: It also features chile fried chicken and Xinjiang cumin beef." - Eater Staff
