While visiting Chinatown in New YorkYou won't feel like you're in the United States.

Where's the best place to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Here's our list of the best restaurants in China Town, New York.

HOME ALONE 4 INCOMING 😅 My trip to NYC ends in a bad (Christmas) movie when the hotel gives my carry-on luggage with passport to an old lady who doesn't realize this and checks the luggage on a flight to the UK!
Now I'm stuck here in NY without a passport, and I missed my flight.
I've experienced a lot in all the years I've been traveling for Your Little Black Book, but this is a first 😅.
This chat video is purely therapeutic in nature 🤣🤣🤣. Because really: HOW?! 🫢
Note to self: it's better to carry your passport all day, instead of leaving it "safely" in the hotel, apparently... and from now on, attach suitcases with cables in the storage room. Even if you're staying in a luxurious and expensive hotel, everything is still done by humans.
Now I'm stuck in one of the world's coolest cities, but of course I just want to be home with Manuel, as planned. 😔
To be continued 🧳✈️
And thanks for all the sweet DMs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How cool is this? There are places in the Netherlands where you can cut down your own Christmas tree! You don't hear about it very often, even though it's quite common in America (where I'm currently!).
Good to know: some of these places in the Netherlands are only open for a few days a year and you have to reserve a time slot.

This time we went to @williams.farmhouse, one of my favorite lunch spots in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. But is it also fun during the day with kids?
We ordered a 'plain' version of the Farmhouse burger 🍔: yes, really just meat + cheese 🤣… and together with the fries it was a mega success.
Happy child, happy us... and it was such a cozy, rainy afternoon. I mean, this interior makes me dream of the Cotswolds again!

@omri_amsterdam

Vibe: Mainly focused on takeaway, but trust me: you'll want to go out of your way for these Taiwanese rice balls.
Must orders: Jumeok Bap with king crab or mayak egg, so delicious.
@chinguamsterdam
📍 Leonardo's Ravioli Bar (De Pijp)

Must-have orders: as many as possible. And share everything. I can be brief about that.

Vibe: like stepping into a Chinese canteen. You order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called.

The 22 Best Chinatown Restaurants to Keep on Your Radar
juku
Dine here in an atmospheric setting. Colorful sushi rolls like the Spicy Tuna Roll and the King Salmon Avocado Roll complete a night out.
32 Mulberry Street, New York – jukunyc.com
Mr. Fong's
Don't let the limited menu deter you; it makes choosing much easier. Start with the Malaysian Beef Jerkey, for example. There are plenty of drinks on the menu to extend your evening.
40 Market St, New York – mrfongs.com
Nakaji
Take a seat at a table and let Chef Kunihide Nakajima prepare a 12-course sushi omakase meal and appetizers! Yes, that means a truly delicious dinner you'll probably be dreaming about for months to come.
48 Bowery, New York – nakajinyc.com

Big Wong
The menu boasts over seventy dishes! But if I had to choose, my favorite would be Seafood Delight: a dish with jumbo shrimp, squid, crab cakes, baby shrimp, and scallops sautéed with snow peas in a fresh garlic sauce.
67 Mott Street, New York – big-wong.com
Deluxe Green Bo Restaurant
For a classic Chinese dinner, this is the place to be. Can't finish the delicious, spicy General Tso's Chicken? Then ask for a doggy bag.
66 Bayard Street, New York – deluxegreenbo.com
Name Wah Tea Parlor
This restaurant, with the best dim sum in Chinatown, NY, has been around since 1920. Originally a tea room and bakery, it now serves Chinese tea and a fried dim sum platter. They're open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
13 Doyers Street, New York – nomwah.com
Dim sum go go
Pop in between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. for Dim Sum. Not just any Dim Sum, this restaurant has been mentioned several times in the Michelin Guide. Just imagine how delicious your meal will be.
5E Broadway, New York – dimsumgogonyc.com

More best restaurants china town new york
golden unicorn
First of all, the restaurant's name is appealing. Founded in 1989, it was the first upscale Cantonese-style restaurant serving dim sum. Secondly, locals eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. When locals come to a restaurant, you know the food has to be good.
18th Broadway, New York – goldenunicornnyc.com
Ping's Seafood
Of course, you can enjoy a wide selection of fish dishes here for lunch and dinner. You should definitely do so. But if your dinner date doesn't fancy fish, there's also a selection of vegetarian, pork, chicken, and beef dishes.
22 Mott Street, New York – eatatpings.com
Noodle Village
Noodles every day for lunch or dinner, why not? At Noodle Village, the dishes are so delicious you'll come back again and again. With over a hundred dishes on the menu, you'll find something different every time.
13 Mott Street, New York – noodlevillageny.com

More restaurants in China Town you'll want to know
Chinese Tuxedo
Chef Paul Donnelly and his team create the most refined, traditional Chinese dishes for dinner. Fun fact: the restaurant is located in the former First Chinese Theatre in New York.
5 Doyers Street, New York – chinesetuxedo.com
456 Shanghai Cuisine
This might just be the best dim sum in Chinatown, NY. Next time I'm here, I'll go for the Chef's Special: Fried Yellow Fish with Tofu Skin. For lunch, or dinner, or both ;).
69 Mott St A, New York – 456shanghainyc.com
Hwa Yuan Szechuan
Get ready for savory, authentic Sichuan dishes from Chef Chen Lien Tang. You simply must try the legendary sesame noodles. Plan your visit for lunch or dinner.
42E Broadway, New York – hwayuannyc.com

Great NY Noodletown
Noodles for breakfast? I think it's perfectly acceptable. But you can also have lunch here. From shrimp with walnuts to sweet and sour chicken with noodles: the selection is extensive.
28 Bowery, New York – greatnynoodletown.net
Hop Kee
From 11 a.m. until after midnight (to round off a wild night), you can enjoy spicy and less spicy Chinese dishes here. Try egg foo young, chop suey, or choose one of the specials on the menu.
21 Mott Street, New York – hop-kee-nyc.com
Nha Trang One
Fancy something other than Chinese? At the cozy family restaurant Nha Trang One, you can enjoy Vietnamese dishes. Choose from a wide variety of pho: traditionally made noodles with chicken or beef broth.
87 Baxter Street, New York – nhatrangnyc.net

More restaurants in China Town you'll want to know
Joe's Ginger
Here you can enjoy authentic Shanghainese cuisine, known for its rich, spicy sauce made with soy and wine. This sauce makes the flavors more intense than in other Chinese cuisines. I think I'll go for the popular cold dish, Scallion Pancake with Braised Beef.
25 Pell Street, New York – joeginger.com
Joe's Shanghai
Joe's soup noodles are a favorite with food critics, so you can't resist trying them. The dumplings are actually called Xiao Long Boa, but that's difficult to pronounce. So here they're simply called Soup Dumplings.
46 Bowery, New York – joeshanghairestaurants.com
Peking Duck House
You might just eat the best Chinese food ever here. For lunch, a snack, or dinner. Eating here is definitely on my to-do list. What do I order? The Sliced Beef with Orange Flavor. Delicious!
28 Mott Street, New York – pekingduckhousenyc.com

Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles
Make sure you're hungry. Really hungry, because the portions at Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles are generous. This hidden gem in Chinatown isn't very big, so make sure you snag a spot early.
1 Doyers Street, New York – tastyhandpullednoodlesnyc.com
Wo Hop
Time for a late breakfast, lunch, or afternoon snack? Then I recommend Wo Hop. The menu is incredibly extensive, from different variations of Chinese omelets to oriental specials.
17 Mott Street, New York – wohopchinese.com
Xi'an Famous Foods
The dishes are warming and stimulating. The Spicy Cumin Lamb burger, for example, makes a deliciously spicy lunch dish, and the Spicy & Sour Spinach Dumplings are a delightfully spicy and sour dinner dish.

So happy to finally share this! @lefoodwalk is back this winter with four themed walks during the Amsterdam Light Festival, from November 27th to January 18th.
Perfect for a day out with friends, a date, colleagues, or family. From a Street Food Walk to an Oyster Walk, and from cocktails to an old-school Amsterdam drinks walk.
The Le Foodwalk team has listened to you and there is a different experience to book almost every day.
Tickets (which are even cheaper than last year 🔥) are now live! I've put a link in my bio.

Did you know Bangkok holds a special place in my heart? 💛 If I were ever to live anywhere other than Amsterdam, it would be there. Right now, I'm seriously homesick, and I even have a ticket option open on another screen ☺️. Fun fact: I even got married in Thailand!
Bangkok is one of those cities where you can return so many times and still discover something new every time.
In this mini-guide, I share some of my favorite neighborhood hotspots—from fun neighborhoods and coffee spots to ultimate hotels, street food, and night markets.
