Get friendly with a stranger over salt-baked soft-shell crabs and other Chinese delicacies at this bustling Chinatown restaurant, where the quality of the food takes precedence over fussy presentation. The décor may be lacking, but at these incredibly low prices no one can complain. The late hours also makes it perfect for those 3a hunger attacks; even then, there is a good chance you will have to wait on line for a table. Cash only.
