I had not been back to Tipsy Shanghai for perhaps a year or two, and I was surprised by how much…read morethe food quality seems to have deteriorated. We ordered three dishes that I had either enjoyed before or was familiar with: Wuxi Pork Ribs: The ribs were quite decent, tender and juicy, with a nicely balanced sauce. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them. The menu says the secret recipe has been passed down through generations for more than 110 years, but I found that claim hard to reconcile with what was on the plate. Slow-roast a slab of pork ribs for four hours at 250°F, I can get a very similar result at home. Famous Assorted Bowl: This used to be one of my favorite dishes here, and I ordered it almost every time I visited. Unfortunately, this time it was a real disappointment. The ingredients no longer tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, or flavorful. Instead, much of the dish had the bland, slightly lifeless quality of previously frozen food. Even the shrimp in the soup did not taste particularly fresh. Boiled Shredded Dry Bean Curd with Chicken and Shrimp: This is a classic Yangzhou dish and another item I used to order regularly. In the past, the bean-curd sheets were cut into extremely fine threads, with a soft and delicate texture that absorbed the flavor of the broth beautifully. This time was completely different. The bean-curd threads were hard and dry, with the texture of a packaged frozen product, and they had absorbed almost none of the broth's flavor. What had once been a delicate, carefully prepared dish now tasted surprisingly flat. Overall, Tipsy Shanghai used to be a restaurant I returned to for several specific dishes. However, both the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation seem to have declined noticeably.

The noodles themselves are well-prepared and have a great, satisfying chew. However, the other dishes are not particularly memorable.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

The first time my friend brought me here, I thought the ramen didn't impress me the way a Michelin…read morerestaurant should have. But maybe because I tried the Smoke Dashi Ramen and the smoked fish oil did not appeal to me at all. I used to make it a requirement to visit Ichiran every time I came to New York, but this time I'm so glad I decided to revisit Tonchin. The noodles were thick and perfectly chewy the way I like it. And the broth was rich in a way that was almost milky, and not just a bowl of broth and salt like your typical American ramen chain restaurants. It barely knocks Ichiran off the top of my list for ramen in the US. However, as good as the chashu was, it wasn't as delicate as Ichiran does it. Nevertheless, I haven't had such an enjoyable meal in a while. #384

The Karachi coleslaw paired well with the teriyaki sauce which also calmed the sweet taste. Tonkatsu Tokyo Classic Ramen - This was good, but as a ramen fan, I think it could of been slightly better - Broth was definitely good with a bold salty taste - Chashu was soft, thinly cut and not chewy. However, I'm a seared chasu type guy, but each their own. - I did not add additional side items to the ramen besides what garnishes already come with the bowl. - Overall Tonkatsu Ramen was normal Next time I'm in town, I will be back to try the Tan Tan ramen and other appetizers next!

Listen up, folks! I stumbled upon this joint in Chinatown, and let me tell you, it's a hidden gem. This place serves jian bing - a Chinese breakfast delicacy that's hard to find outside of Flushing. And while it's not the best I've ever had (a little too mushy for my taste), it definitely hits the spot when you're in the mood for something different. But wait, there's more! This small restaurant is a staple in the neighborhood and is known for their noodles - I haven't tried them yet, but I've heard they're pretty darn good. Plus, the vibe is perfect for grabbing food to go or for a quick solo or friend-date. Speaking of the neighborhood, Chinatown is not to be missed. It's a cultural hub that's bursting with life, history, and, of course, delicious food. From the colorful storefronts to the bustling streets, there's so much to see and explore. So next time you're in the area, swing by this spot for a quick bite and soak up all the magic that Chinatown has to offer. read more
