"Time stands still at Tony Cheng’s, which continues to serve tourists looking for a memorable dining experience. There’s an old-school, albeit caricatured, Chinatown feel to the place, with golden arches, red calligraphy, and Buddha head statues. The felt seats that surround each circular table are so sunken in that you’ll plunge down on contact, just like the lobsters in the tank sitting squarely in the center of the room. On the wall are photos of Tony’s friends, political dignitaries and big shots from Carter to Clinton who have dined here. That said, the food is great—if you know what to order. Skip the crab wontons, for example, and dig in to the scallop and shrimp in black bean sauce instead." - omnia saed
