Located off a smutty street in the heart of Chinatown, the decor at Chinatown Eatery is not exactly swanky. The ceiling hangs low over clients’ heads, the lighting is neon, the men taking the orders are rude and abrasive. In fact, clients not in full command of their Mandarin may have a bit of a hard time getting what they want. But it’s worth the struggle. The food here is fantastic as well as cheap.

Le Gigot is the place to bring the business associate who craves informality...
