The 22 Best Chinese Restaurants In NYC

"CheLi spotlights the seafood dominant cuisine of the region around Shanghai, all in a serene, waterfall-clad room in the East Village. Our ordering method here is to prioritize fish and crustaceans, like the meaty Atlantic blue crab soaked in floral shaoxing wine. But there’s plenty of delicious pork to be eaten, too: the stacks of red braised pork belly coated in a dark soy sauce, in particular, are requisite ordering. There’s another location in Flushing." - neha talreja, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, willa moore
