The facade is papered with photos of the original owner posing with Jackie Chan, Emeril Lagasse, and Jacques Pépin, which tells you most of what you need to know. This old-school Hong Kong seafood spot in Chinatown has been around forever and draws a late-night crowd that arrives hungry and slightly chaotic. The wok runs hot, the garlic-fried prawns arrive crunchy to the heads, and the salt-and-pepper calamari is what you order when the evening needs a proper ending.

Salt-and-pepper calamari
“For folks needing a post-drink pick-me-up, the salt-and-pepper calamari ($19.50) — crunchy, light and tinged with the ineffable flavor of wok hei — is unforgettable.”
