What to order

  • Sichuan — Mapo tofu, dan dan mian, shuizhu fish, dry-fried green beans. Numbing and hot, and far more varied than its reputation.
  • Cantonese — Dim sum, roast meats, steamed fish, clay pots. The most restrained and technically demanding of the major cuisines.
  • Hunan — Hotter than Sichuan and without the numbing. Smoked and cured meats, pickled chillies.
  • Shanghainese — Xiao long bao, red-braised pork, drunken chicken. Sweeter and richer, soy and sugar forward.

How to spot a good one

  • A regional identity, stated — Sichuan, Hunan, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Dongbei, Xinjiang, Fujianese. A restaurant that names its region is cooking something specific. One that offers all of it is cooking a takeout menu.
  • Two menus, or a second page — Common and worth asking about. Many restaurants run a translated regional menu alongside the American-Chinese one, and it is frequently where the good food is.
  • Wok hei — The smoky char of a properly hot wok, unmistakable in fried rice, chow fun and stir-fried greens. Underpowered burners cannot produce it.
