新年好 Xīnnián hǎo - Happy Chinese New Year!!!

The Chinese New Year that celebrates the year of the Dragon is a big event in New York City! But do not only think about parades and celebrations: think about food!

I love Chinese food and was lucky enough to go to Asia few years back to develop a real taste for it as a lot of restaurants tend to Americanize the taste to serve a larger crowd.

So, below are the Chinese restaurants I really like in NYC (clicking on the name will bring you to the review and address):

The Golden Unicorn in chinatown for Authentic Hong Kong style dim sum:

My favorites were the sticky rice, crystal shrimp dumplings and BBQ pork buns!

Szechuan Gourmet in Midtown West:

I loved their General Tso Chicken as well as the spicy scallops with roasted chili peanuts.

Wu Liang Ye, a family style restaurant serving an authentic Szechuan cuisine (spicy!). Also ocated Midtown.

The Kung Pao chicken was to die for!!!

 For an upscale meal, China Grill in Midtown:

My favorite appetizer was the Tempura Tuna Sashimi that was served with a hot mustard champagne sauce.

Enjoy and 新年好!

And Remember: I Just Want To Eat!
