Nanking Road Bistro

When you need a break from Chinatown but still want yummy Chinese food, head to Nanking Road Bistro. Don't let the empty seats fool you - they do a tremendous catering business, so the restaurant is almost a side-venture. The consistent quality of the sweet and sour soup symbolizes their dedication to fresh ingredients cooked just right. The Sesame Chicken is also very popular, featuring a succulent white meat deep-fried to perfection and lightly coated with a spicy sweet sauce. The thoughtful design of the restaurant, open and airy with long wooden banquettes along the walls, invites people in and makes them want to stay.
