New York, NY
Best Chinese in New York.
Harry's top 10 Chinese spots in New York score 87–90 on the Harry Score. Prices run $$ to $$$.
Manhattan's Chinatown is the postcard — roast duck in the window, dumplings, tourists. Flushing is the real test. Queens absorbed the Mandarin-speaking wave Manhattan's rents pushed out, and its malls now run Sichuan, Dongbei, and hand-pulled noodle counters next to hot pot and boba, a regional range Manhattan's mostly-Cantonese blocks never built. Harry doesn't grade on decor or duck alone; the mark is whether a kitchen commits to one region instead of hedging with General Tso's for tourists. Flushing usually commits. Manhattan usually hedges.
