- Like a fine wine, restaurants in Manhattan sometimes need a little time to reach their full potential — Fung Tu is a modern Chinese-American eatery on the border of Chinatown and the Lower East Side, with refined and unexpected creations from restaurateur Wilson Tang (Nom Wah and Bowery Station) and Per Se alum, chef Jonathan Wu
- Nestled on Orchard Street, Fung Tu holds its own with Danny Bowien’s Mission Chinese Food practically around the corner. Chef Wu brings his A-game and combines his elegant style from Per Se with authentic Chinese elements, in an intimate dining space decorated by Wu’s wife, Jane D’Arensbourg
- This Chinese-American hub has upped the ante with their seven-course tasting menu ($65). You’ll want to try the smoked and fried dates stuffed with duck, whole steamed fish (fennel, tangerine peel, chili oil, and fermented black beans), spicy mustard chicken wings, Harry and Ida’s pastrami fried rice, and of course, the pork belly egg roll
