"There’s more roast meat per capita in Chinatown than bikes on JFK—and one of the great spots for chopped-to-order pork is Yummy BBQ Kitchen. You’ll know you’ve made it when you spy the crackly-skinned duck hanging in the window, or catch a whiff of bitter melon and soy sauce chicken from down the block. It’s a simple setup: pick an entree like curry beef or chow mein, or a rice plate with roasted duck, ribs, or sweet and sour pork that’s piled high for you in a to-go box. When in doubt, get the BBQ pork with sweet caramelized edges over rice. Another reason to come here for your next lunch? Everything on the menu is $15 or under, a.k.a. less than it costs to get one and a half oat milk lattes these days." - Julia Chen
