Asian cuisine restaurants New York (Manhattan)

The oldest restaurant in Chinatown, open continuously since 1920. The street where it is located, Doyers Street, is also unique, as it is curved, something very rare in Manhattan. But back to Nom Wah Tea Parlor: the restaurant serves dim sums, delicious steamed raviolis, among other specialties of the Cantonese cuisine. Nothing very luxurious or gastronomic, but Nom Wah Tea Parlor is one of those places that any New Yorker worth his salt should know. Dozens of movies and series have been filmed here and on Doyers Street.

Genesis House is a sanctuary where Korean gastronomy and automobiles come together, for an incredibly designer result. You enter through a showroom displaying cars from the luxury Genesis brand. The restaurant, upstairs, is the New York version of Onjium, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul. The dishes, based on royal recipes from the 1300s, are as delicious as they are unexpected. As for the service, it's attentive and very sharp. The manager is French and very welcoming. Best selection of Korean spirits in town.

A break is in order after discovering this area full of bars and stand-up clubs! Why not counterbalance the day's excesses with some good Vietnamese food? The soups will do you the world of good, whether they are prepared with shrimps, chicken or pork. The inevitable pho, with its noodles and beef cooked in a flavoured broth, is obviously present on the menu. For a more substantial meal, you can choose from a wide variety of noodle, rice and stir-fried vegetable dishes.
