"Atlas Kitchen caused a stir when it opened a couple of years ago directly south of Columbia University. Seemingly aimed at the school’s faculty and students, the menu provided a compendium of dishes from all over China — though emphasizing northern fare, with some Hunan, Cantonese, and Sichuan also spotlit — in an elegant, bi-level dining room filled with art. Try steamed fish head with fresh chiles, beef flank in dry wok, or steamed eggs with seafood in a rich red sauce. Order online." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
