Rank 404. Music City Tea
Chinese Coffee Shop
Music City Tea is a loose-leaf Chinese tea shop in an unassuming house in Murfreesboro, with shelves and tables crowded with pouches, bins, and tins. The owner sits you down and pours round after round through a gaiwan while explaining oolong versus green versus black, so plan on an hour and a mild caffeine tremor. Nashville Scene named it Best Intro to Tea in 2025, and you'll probably leave with a colorful gaiwan of your own.

Rank 406. Northern Cuisine
Northern Chinese
Northern Chinese restaurant near the University of Illinois campus, cooking the kind of food that gets called "rustic" when people mean it as a compliment. The wok-fried crispy pork intestines landed on the New York Times list of the best restaurant dishes eaten across the country in 2025, blasted in a fiery wok until dark and crunchy, with dried roasted red chiles and not much else. Fuss-free, fearless cooking.

Rank 410. Joe’s Steam Rice Roll
Cantonese Noodle Shop
Rice ground daily on-site in electric stone mills is the tell at this no-frills Flushing counter, a Cantonese cheong fun spot tucked into a minimall off Roosevelt Avenue. The noodle sheets come out nearly translucent, rolled around pork, shrimp, or egg to order. The New York Times gave it a Critic's Pick, which tracks: there are very few places in the city where the rice noodle itself is this clearly the point.
