This is a local place in a shopping center. They have the best Sesame Chicken and white rice I have come across.

This place has the only honey glazed white meat and truly crispy Sesame chicken I have eaten. It is the best tasting dish I have had from this cuisine. The only problem is its location. Its a hole in the wall on the tip of Brooklyn near Mill Basin. Nothing else is good there, ONLY the chicken de sesame.

This is a great family place that has amazing crunchy noodles and fresh duck sauce. Awesome wonton soup and pineapple chicken. Amazingly they have chocolate mousse as a dessert that is nearly the best ive ever eaten.

This place is a chain and they have the coolest environment to eat in with darker lighting and cool service. I love the hot and sour soup and the chicken with string beans.

This is a very upscale Chinese place in NYC. Went there when we went to Lincoln center recently. Was a very cool place and they had great chow fun which is wide thin noodles.
