Phoenix Inn

A Chinatown institution, this old-school haunt is almost identical to its 1965 self. There are now 14 restaurants in the Phoenix family, but we're partial to the first: The menu's gotten longer and the décor's been updated slightly, but the Phoenix Inn that started it all is still the same as ever. Fried whole fish, deep-fried intestine, Chinese-style omelets, and hog maw with ginger can all be found alongside Chinese-American favorites such as beef with broccoli and sweet and sour pork. Whatever your craving, there's almost definitely a dish to suit you.
