Lo-fi, counter-service Fat Dragon pumps out tweaked takes on old-school American Chinese to the sound of hip-hop and woks. Chow down hearty, flavor-packed dishes such as sweet-and-tangy eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, chili-spiked pork-and-shrimp wontons or stir-fry pork jowl with tofu, bell peppers and Chinese celery. Unlike many old-school Chinese dives, the focus here is on fresh, quality ingredients.
