A
Great New York Noodle Town
The name of this Chinatown stalwart says it all, as the specialties here are endless incarnations of the long and slippery strands, offered up through an easy-to-decipher picture menu. Among the long list of options are noodle soup with roast pork or duck, rice congee with frog or sliced fish, beef chow fun, spicy Singapore mai fun, wide Cantonese noodles with shrimp and egg or Hong Kong–style lo main with ginger and onions. What the no-frills spot lacks in ambience it makes up for in characters – especially once 2am or 3am rolls around.

Peking Duck House
You already know what the specialty of the house is – big, brown, crispy glazed duck, served with sides of pancakes and hoisin sauce for tearing, rolling and dipping. There are plenty of other dishes to choose from, all bearing imprints of Peking, Shanghai and Szechuan flavors, mixed expertly together. Peking Duck is slightly fancier than other Chinatown spots, but not at all stuffy; it's a popular choice for local families celebrating a big event.

Spicy & Tasty
A block west of the subway – and away from the busy Main St – this modern Sichuan restaurant is a guaranteed tongue-burner. Pick from a dozen appetizer choices in the front glass case – eggplant, bean curd, beef tongue, pork stomach. You may need to point unless your Chinese is good. Then add on some noodles from the menu. During lunch S&T has $6.50 set meals.

Canoodle
An old-school favorite, Canoodle's famous for its sausage fried rice, minced quail with lettuce, baby silverfish and Peking Duck. It opens early and closes early (for Chinatown), and despite a few design quirks, is packed all the time.

E
Shanghai Kitchen
Delectable pork steamed buns, juicy spring rolls and hearty noodles, soups and other Chinese dishes (some with tofu and veggies). It's cash only, quite a bargain, and you'll have to smile and point a lot because English is not spoken.
