Watch in awe as chefs slice, dice, and pull noodles at staggering speed from within the show kitchen in the center of the room. Spectacle aside, the combination of Sichuan cuisine and dishes from China’s northeast are the true stars of the show at this handsome, red and black restaurant. Try the cumin-laced lamb served with bao buns, Chongqing-style deep-fried boneless chicken with dried chili, Shanxi-style braised beef noodles, and rich and spicy mapo tofu.
The Taiwanese chain is famous for one thing above all: soup dumplings. Paper-thin wrappers encase fillings like truffle and pork, snow crab and scallop, and chicken. Pair a steamer of soup dumplings with barbecued pork buns, thin noodles in sesame sauce, and bok choy fried in a hot wok with scallion oil. There’s another branch in Studio City, too. In a part of town where it can be hard to find quality food for affordable prices, Din Tai Fung is a sure bet.
This popular bar-restaurant moved from Taipa to Broadway in 2024, trading a narrow, multifloor building where food and drinks were served via dumb waiter for a more spacious ground-floor setting. Now more restaurant than bar, Goa Nights still specializes in the creative Goan and Indian flavors that long made it an expat favorite. Order pulled pork vindaloo bao and Goan curry to share, and wash it down with one of 15 cocktails inspired by Vasco da Gama’s voyages across the Portuguese world.
