"Tucked on Doyers Street in the beating heart of Chinatown, Annie Shi’s little wine bar is overflowing with rare bottles and atmosphere, with wines lining the room and boxes stacked to the ceiling while diners sit elbow to elbow. The kitchen wastes no space and turns out smart, thoughtful modern Chinese dishes: chilled celtuce with shallots and red wine vinegar is an essential starter, and I enjoyed fried whiting with seaweed, scallops with lily buds and ginger, and hand‑rolled noodles with braised lamb." - The MICHELIN Guide
