Dinner Time!
So long ABP, Boloco, and Qdoba...here's the scoop on the yummiest and cheapest food in Chinatown. Prepare yourself for a culinary tour of the neighborhood:
If dim sum is your thing, the Emperor's Garden is your place. Located right on Washington Street, you'll have no trouble finding it.
Keep going down the street and you will find the place near and dear to our collective JD/MPH hearts, our old reliable Pho Pasteur. Try anything here, you won't be sorry.
Next, take the corner onto Beach Street. Located right down the street, Pho Hoa. This was the first place one of our MPH friends took us all for dinner and we have been regulars ever since.
Onward down the same street (talk about a gold mine, right!), Grand Chau Chow's. Anything seafood is the name of the game here.
Right across the street from Grand Chau Chow's is the Gourmet Dumpling House. Eat family style here and share any of the rice dishes, basil eggplant, and sesame chicken.
From here, turn onto Oxford Street (make a right) and find the Taiwan Cafe. If you have nothing else here, you MUST have the soupy dumplings...bring a bib.
Make another right and you should be on Kneeland Street, another culinary goldmine. First, King Fung Garden. Two words: Peking ravioli. Lots and lots of Peking ravioli.
If you need a quick bite, hit Wai Wai's. There are really only 4 or 5 dishes here, but just about all of them are great and come complete with your choice of soup.
OK, so its not very Asian (well, the building is sort of Asian) and its probably not the yummiest, but it is definitely cheap...so, you should know about it. So, yes, there is a McDonald's here too.
Last, but certainly not least, Montien. Mango curry is fantastic here and the inside of the restaurant is beautiful too.
Not to neglect the Harrison Avenue gems, I must mention them here. First, you encounter Dong Khanh. Try the crispy noodles here.
OK, let's talk SUPER cheap and yummy. In this category, try the Vietnamese Sandwich place for, what else, sandwiches.
For dessert, go to the place next door, the Coffee House--this place shames ABP. So, this concludes our culinary tour of Chinatown. Yes, I've probably omitted several worthy places (unintentionally, of course). Feel free to suggest places in the comments section!
