Chinese restaurants and the city's Chinatowns have overcome a lot of challenges in the past year. Still, there's renewed sense of vitality in many parts of New York, as smaller establishments have seen their carryout and delivery business expand, and larger restaurants have constructed handsome curbside dining areas and reopened dining rooms. Meanwhile, newer operations like Followsoshi in Flushing and Che Li in the East Village have kept our supply of Chinese restaurants on the upswing, even as earlier favorites such as Flushing hot pot hot spot HaiDiLao have swung open their doors anew.
Over the last decade, New York City has experienced a Chinese food renaissance. Never before have the city's offerings been so diverse, with the debut of many regional restaurants and a new guard of fast-casual spots that have recast many dishes as rice or noodle bowls. Some spots, such as Nice Day, have given Chinese American food another spotlight, too. Even with all these newcomers, however, New Yorkers haven't forgotten the long history of Chinese food in the city.
Here are 38 of our favorite Chinese restaurants.

There's no better prelude or conclusion to a Museum of Natural History visit or stroll in Central Park than this nominally Shanghai restaurant, where strong cocktails are part of the package. Though lion's head meatballs, soup dumplings, West Lake beef soup, and other Shanghai regional delicacies are presented, the menu goes further afield with Sichuan, Cantonese (including lots of dim sum for convenient snacking), and even Teochew dishes.

While it's not located in the heart of Flushing, this nearby Sichuan favorite is worth the trek. A dish as simple as the scallion fried rice or silken tofu alone makes the menu stand out, but there's also tea-smoked duck, eggplant with a garlic sauce topped with preserved eggs, and a fiery whole fish topped with minced pork. Find a friend with a car or share an Uber with friends because it'll be difficult to order just a few dishes.

The original location of this full-on empire from restaurateur Jason Wang opened in Flushing. As its reputation grew, branches started popping up all over the city with its spicy, fragrant style of cooking from northwestern China, inflected with Middle Eastern spices. Try any of the hand-pulled noodles and the spicy cumin lamb burger — the meat is rich, the bread has a crunchy sear on the outside, and the bun is soft enough inside to soak up plenty of lamb juices.

The dim sum selection isn't quite as vast at this popular chain, which has two locations in NYC, but the quality of each dish makes up for the fewer options. Shrimp dumplings come in thin, glossy wrappers and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves arrive perfectly cooked, but no matter your thoughts on this more upscale dim sum establishment, almost everyone is a fan of the baked barbecue pork buns. The dish itself veers on the sweet side but the generous chunks of pork are cooked just right and the buns have a feathery, light quality to them.

West Villagers worried that this modest carryout Chinese spot was gone forever when it closed for a few months, but now it's back and better than ever. All the classics are there in splendid form, including egg foo young (shown), beef chow fun with or without gravy, and chow mein in all its lovely guises. But over the years Sichuan, Hunan, Mandarin, and even Thai dishes have been added, and they're quite good, too.

With the dining room under the watchful eye of a portrait Andy Warhol and a tea service that treats the beverage like the sacrament it is, and a 100-item menu that sometimes offers seemingly endless permutations of familiar dishes, Uluh is every inch a modern Chinese restaurant, catering to a crowd (and we do mean crowd) that's very sophisticated about its Chinese food. A large proportion of the menu highlights Sichuan food, but there's also a good proportion of northern Chinese, and even dim sum and other Cantonese flourishes. And for those in search of the dishes rarely seen in the East Village, there are pig trotters in chile oil, Nanjing salted duck, and a luxurious ma po tofu with lobster added.

There are stellar versions of classics like mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork, but also find less ubiquitous fare. Every table will likely have the sliced pork belly with chile garlic sauce, where pork hangs over a device like laundry on a line.

The East Village has had a spate of stylish Chinese restaurants, and Hunan Slurp perhaps goes further than any other on creating a sleek, artistic setting, covered in blonde wood planks, which was created by chef and owner Chao Wang. The food focuses on Hunan. Rice noodles, called mifen, give the restaurant its theme, but the other options — like Hunan charcuterie and smoked pork — stand out just as much.

23. Hunan Slurp
The East Village has had a spate of stylish Chinese restaurants, and Hunan Slurp perhaps goes further than any other on creating a sleek, artistic setting, covered in blonde wood planks, which was created by chef and owner Chao Wang. The food focuses on Hunan. Rice noodles, called mifen, give the restaurant its theme, but the other options — like Hunan charcuterie and smoked pork — stand out just as much.

24. The Bund
Named after a waterfront neighborhood in Shanghai, the Bund in southern Elmhurst focuses on the city's cuisine. The soup dumplings are nothing short of spectacular, and this was one of the first places in town to introduce variations, including one that incorporates truffles. Among the novel dishes are tofu knots in broth (shown), crispy smoked fish, and salt pork and winter melon soup.

25. Green Garden Village
Glorious chewy rice noodle rolls are a triumph at Yan Liang's Green Garden Village, like the one with youtiao (fried dough), dried scallop, and dried shrimp (shown). But this Cantonese restaurant also specializes in fresh seafood and expert charcuterie in a particularly impressive selection of roasted meats, including three kinds of roast duck, roast pig, and roasted baby pig.

26. Yi Ji Shi Mo
Stunning cheung fun, or rice noodle rolls, come out hot and freshfrom this tiny storefront on Elizabeth Street via Guangdong native and manager Windy Wu. Place an order and minutes later, an efficient cook will produce a freshly scraped rice roll that's best paired with barbecue pork or dried shrimp, portioned judiciously enough so as not to distract from the main event: the soft, toothsome noodles.

27. Spicy Village
This tiny restaurant owned by Wendy Lian and her family serves some of the most heart-warming and delicious Henan food in Chinatown. Order the big tray of spicy chicken (shown here) and ask for one or two orders of noodles to toss in the garlicky, chile-spiked sauce. They're hand-pulled, with a hearty bite to them. More can always be ordered. Brisket mei fun are another don't-miss dish.

28. Public Village
Opened in the midst of the epidemic, Public Village offers a beguiling combination of food from Sichuan and Dongbei via co-owners Kiyomi Wang and Karen Song. It also cooks up things you might not expect to see in this neighborhood, including poached and pickled chicken feet, french fries dusted with Sichuan peppercorns, and "grill chilled noodle wrap," a delightful new variation on jian bing, with a hot dog surprise inside, perfect picnic fare.

29. Kong Sihk Tong
Chinatown's stylish Hong Kong cafe covers all the bases when it comes to noodle and rice dishes from China's southeast coast. From the port city of Xiamen comes a delightful stir-fried rice vermicelli rife with ham and other goodies (shown). From Hong Kong itself are the steamed rice dishes called bo zai fan, plus British and American adapted snacks that run from condensed milk toast to spaghetti and meatballs. How about a mug of Horlicks to wash everything down?

30. Fried Dumpling
An offshoot of the first dollar dumpling stall on Allen Street, Fried Dumpling is a closet located on Mosco Street. As the generic name suggests, the menu is as bare bones as can be, currently offering only fried pork dumplings. The rest of the menu is currently not available, but come for the wonderful dumplings. Takeout only.

31. Shanghai 21
On the lower end of Mott Street, Shanghai 21 is heralded by a giant soup dumpling hanging in the sky, and the new outdoor dining area is particularly comfortable and well spaced. Start with a selection of cold dishes, including smoked fish, gluten and mushrooms, and mock duck; then proceed to soup dumplings or rice cake with pork and pickled greens. Bigger dishes like lion's head meatballs and braised pork shoulder are also available.

32. Birds of a Feather
The updated and slightly upscale Sichuan restaurant from Xian Zhang and Yiming Wang of China Cafe came as a surprise when it opened three years ago in Williamsburg, but it really hits the mark with dishes like mapo tofu (shown), three-pepper chicken, and sauteed duck with ginger, the latter served with steamed bao. The dim sum selection is particularly robust, much representing parts of China other than Sichuan.

33. Wo Hop Restaurant
Founded in 1938 and still owned by the Huang family, this Chinatown mainstay has strong local following. Classic Chinese-American fare dominates the menu. Whether seated upstairs or downstairs, dishes like chop suey, chow mein, and egg foo young are really quite delicious.

34. No Pork Halal Kitchen
This emphatically named old-timer a stone's throw from Barclays Center never had much seating anyway, so it's operating just as it always has, even in the age of the novel coronavirus. Nor do the delivery services pay any attention to it, despite its prominent and convenient location. Sichuan shrimp (shown) and bulky beef dumplings are the move here, and expect the servings to be generous. Carryout only; call (718) 875-9888.

35. Yun Nan Flavour Garden
Yun Nan Flavour Garden is one of the city's first Yunnan restaurants, an offshoot of a much smaller noodle shop farther north in Sunset Park specializing in mixian rice noodles. Crossing-the-bridge noodles are a provincial classic that shouldn't be missed. Eat them and then Google the story behind the name.

36. Chuan Tian Xia
New York's rising standards for Sichuan restaurants hit Sunset Park in 2018 in the form of Chuan Tian Xia, a restaurant bedecked with colorful mask murals owned by married couple Queenie Dong and Zee Zheng. It immediately became famous for stellar versions of the cuisine's classics and a long menu that includes lesser-seen options like spicy frog. Its liangfen, a mung bean noodle, is popular, as is a smoky, spicy cauliflower that arrives at the table in a wok.

37. Farmers Restaurant
If you're looking for Chinese restaurants in maritime Brooklyn, don't neglect the massive number of them strung along 86th Street as it passes through Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, and Bath Beach. Among them is super-Cantonese Farmers Restaurant from owner Jinxue Cai in a modest space but with a penchant for fresh seafood of familiar and arcane varieties. Its signature dish is lobster steamed in sticky rice (shown). And don't miss the deconstructed version of wonton noodle soup.

38. Tack's Chinese Take Out
This carryout-and delivery-only wonder has been delighting Staten Islanders for 45 years in its somewhat obscure location in Manor Heights, just west of Todt Hill. The charcuterie often comes with thick sauce (the roast pork is a fave), but perhaps the best dish on the menu is Singapore curried noodles (shown), which unexpectedly packs quite a wallop of heat. A highly recommended spot; eat nearby in one of Staten Island's Greenbelt parks.
