CHINATOWN. Just a short walk north of Canal Street, you'll find this excellent little eatery, which is also, perhaps, one of the best deals outside of Chinatown. Bowery's XO Kitchen, while not the most ornate restaurant, will nevertheless impress you with its authentic Cantonese fair. Menu favorites include everything from fried calamari and oysters to jellyfish and several types of tong shuis. If you really want to be surprised, check out what they are cooking up at 8am! TRAIN: B, D, Q to Grand St

CHINATOWN. A top place for seafood in Chinatown, this restaurant doesn't assault diners with overblown cosmetics, and you won't find much in the way of pretense here. No, Fuleen excels in the art of preparing fresh seafood – How fresh? Well, don't think for a minute that all those saltwater tanks are part of the decor! Sometimes a little messy but always good, their Hong Kong-style dishes range from Dungeness crabs with black bean sauce to fresh, steamed flounder with ginger and scallions. TRAIN: F to East Broadway

CHINATOWN. You will know you're in Chinatown by the colorful chandeliers and somewhat "garish" atmosphere, but hey, it IS Chinatown. The Cantonese seafood cuisine is excellent, especially the Australian snow crabs and New Zealand lobsters. You may want to take a closer look at the blackened chicken with ginseng soup or the deep fried squid with chili peppers. TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St

CHINATOWN. Those in the know like to avail themselves of the great food and service they find at New Green Bo, one of the true "great deals" in Chinatown. Neighborhood denizens note this popular neighborhood eatery for its fabulous fried rice cakes and traditional dishes like yellow fish potage. It should be a law: No visit here is complete without your having sampled their delicious dumplings. TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St

CHINATOWN. Though not much to look at on the outside, this Vietnamese restaurant remains popular thanks to its excellent dishes and reasonable prices. Among the regulars, favorites include staples like banh mi cary ga (curried chicken), the steamed fish for two, fried spring rolls, and barbecued pork chops. Make sure you head here early at lunchtime, as they tend to pack quickly. If the place is too crowded, walk over to the sister location at nearby 146 Centre Street (212-941-9292). TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St

CHINATOWN. The stylish, contemporary digs at this ever-popular Chinatown joint are a refreshing departure from the other, more ho-hum, alternatives in the area. In addition to the delicious duck – prepared by pumping the fowl full of air, soaking it with boiled water and then slowly oven-roasting it until it's perfectly crisp – the restaurant also delivers a number of other tasty morsels, including salt and pepper prawns, Peking-style lobster, fried sea bass and orange chicken. TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St

CHINATOWN. The incomparable steamed soup dumplings served with pork or crabmeat make this humble gem popular with people from all over (the long waits attest to this). Joe's Shanghai also warrants high marks because it offers superb Hong Kong-style delicacies such as shredded turnip shortcake, braised duck and spicy yellow fish. If you're in a hurry and can't wait, try Shanghai's younger sister, Ginger. TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St

CHINATOWN. Bold and serious Szechuan cuisine is expertly prepared in an atmosphere that is dramatically understated. But here, it's all about the food. You simply must try the braised sea cucumber, the smoked tea duck, or chicken with sour cabbage. TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St

CHINATOWN. Conceived by owner and chef Joe Si (of Joe's Shanghai fame). What makes Joe's restaurant worthy of all the fanfare? Well, according to regulars, the answer is in the food. Here, Hong Kong-style Shanghai cuisine is taken to a higher level by Chef Joe and crew, resulting in fantabulous dishes like Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), ginger shrimp and clams in beer sauce. TRAIN: J, M, Z to Canal St
