"This famous spot for salt-baked seafood and the namesake noodles impressed me on a short NYC trip: the in-season salt-baked soft shell crabs were cooked perfectly and served with pickled jalapeños that added a bit of heat to the crunchy, mustard-filled crabs ($37). Paired with a simple noodle dish (you can’t go wrong with lo mein or thicker noodles here), it’s a Chinatown institution with fast-moving service and complimentary tea; bring cash, and there’s an ATM on the opposite corner if you forget." - Bettina Makalintal
