Best Restaurants in Chinatown

53 restaurants analyzed · New York

Chinatown remains one of the best places in Manhattan for affordable, authentic Chinese food, with Cantonese, Sichuan, and hot pot restaurants concentrated along Mott, Bayard, and East Broadway. Prices are among the lowest in lower Manhattan, and the quality of the traditional cooking here is hard to match elsewhere in the city. A strong option for lunch or an early dinner.
