So, remember this? Well, just to let you know, if you ever want pizza in Chinatown, you’re out of luck. Though, if you did want pizza in Chinatown, I’m not sure how I would handle that question. Anyway, the point is, Mosco Pizza has now become this:

Goodbye pizza, hello another dumpling place? We’ll soon discover and keep you posted.

Pronounced like you’re giving out a sneeze, “A Chau”, the only place in chinatown that just sells authentic Vietnamese sandwiches. A menu of 10 different sandwiches to choose from, each costing no more than $3.50, definitely a great place for a cheap tasty meal on the go. I typically prefer the classic Vietnamese Cold Cuts with Pate Sandwich which consist of Pâté(meat paste), Vietnamese ham, roasted ground pork, pickled carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and mayo on a toasted French baguette. The sandwich hit the spot and filled me up nicely.

Well this can be considered in Chinatown a staple restaurant serving good quality food, and good service. Through the years restaurants have successfully imitated their style of service and appearance, but many have failed. I would firmly believe that it’s the quality of their food, it is not like the taste is so different and better but it is basically home cooked ingredients with a restaurant touch. [Read more →]

Wondering what these people are looking at?

After Tai Hong Lao(sp?) closed down (health inspection, sigh, a constant barrier to amazing food) on Mott, I couldn’t think of any place to eat dim sum. I hated Jing Fong (terrible service, watery food, expensive); Go Go Dimsum (too polished, much too expensive for poor college student me); Delight 28 (found a rat underneath the table many years ago, I’m still scarred. Although, the waiter from Tai Hong Lao works here and still remembers me =). Thus, I resorted to Mandarin Court (the lady at the counter has always been kind to me even when I was a young girl): it was relatively cheaper than the rest of the restaurants, and they were quick with your orders. The service was never great, and I still have a personal dislike towards one of the waiters.

Thus, when Kawai mentioned 9 Chatham Square, I had to check it out:

Tasty Dumpling
54 Mulberry Street

Perfectly crispy bottom, well cooked pork inside, steaming hot, and amazingly cheap 5 for $1.25(they recently raised their prices) fried dumplings aka potstickers at Tasty Dumpling. Their name says it all, they have a small menu of items from noodles, tofu salads, scallion pancakes all OK, but the star is the DUMPLINGS! Don’t expect service, seating are limited about 10 people max, but hey what do expect its Chinatown. Make sure you properly season your dumplings with the provided dumpling sauce and sriracha hot sauce on the table, to gives it that extra little kick. If the weather permits, take it to go and enjoy people watching at the park right across.

Above: Pork and chive dumpling, so fresh it melted the styrofoam package.

Yummy Noodles

Yummy Noodles are well known for their clay pot casseroles, roast ducks, and other Hong Kong style favorites on their menu. Cheap is the key, an average dish is around 4-6 dollars, but the menu might be a bit overwhelming for some. There are over a 100 items fit on to a single 8 1/2 x 11 size menu. My latest visit to that Yummy Noodles the service was really lacking.

I had my eyes on this place a long time ago but never stood for the perpetually jammed wait. Luckily today it wasn’t too packed; I was seated right when I got in. Veselka is a Ukrainian cuisine coffee house that serves a wide variety of dishes. Known for their famous handmade pierogis, the menu consist of meat (especially pork), potatoes, fruit, mushrooms, berries, and herbs play a major part in many dishes.
