Nestled in Grand Central Market, China Cafe serves up nostalgic Chinese-American classics like chow mein and kung pao, perfect for a quick, comfort-food fix.
"One of the OG Grand Central Market vendors, China Cafe has been serving Chinese-American classics that have barely changed since 1959. Expect things like chow mein, kung pao chicken, and off-menu egg rolls. We like to elbow our way into a seat at the bar, order a huge bowl of wonton soup, and load it with chili oil." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren
