The Best Cheap Chinese Food of NYCNew Green BoChinatown's original Shanghai-nese hotspot continues to deliver exceptional home-cooked cuisine.
The SceneNYC's Chinatown is historically Cantonese, but New Green Bo is easily the area's brightest Shanghai-nese counterpoint. You won't blink twice at the restaurant's spartan decor: as the packed crowds and critics' praises wallpapering the front wall agree, this longtime local favorite is truly one of the area's most exquisite finds. The FoodNew Green Bo's juicy pork or crab shau lon bau (soup dumplings) attracted much attention when they were first "discovered" by mainstream food critics several years ago. But other comfort foods are also superb: scallion pancakes are delectably crispy yet chewy, and chow fun with shredded pork and preserved cabbage (it's not on the menu) offers a tangy rice-noodles retake on the usual lo mein. The pork with salty vegetables soup is simple yet savory, and seafood lovers must try the tender fried yellow fish, made aromatically briny with dried seaweed. Top off your meal with flaky, not-too-sweet red bean pastries. Gourmet Ice Cream, Anyone?The late-night Chinatown Ice Cream Factory sits invitingly across the street, offering free samples of their tropical Longyan, Mango, Red Bean, and Lychee flavors, in both creamy ice creams and sorbets. That Other Shanghai-nese PlaceNew Green Bo's primary competition is Joe's Shanghai, a popular tourist and Upper East Side hangout (need we say more?) 66 Bayard St |
