"Originally sequestered behind an arcade on Bowery, West New Malaysia has been in our Chinatown rotation for years. It now spans two rooms, crammed with tables, that still fill up with regulars every night. You’re likely to become one of them once you try their crispy fried prawns with salted eggs—it’s one of the best things to eat in a neighborhood full of great food. Go here with a hungry group: The menu is huge, food comes out super fast, and if you come at lunch, lots of the entrees are available for under $15." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
