You can take the restaurant out of Chinatown, but you can't take the Cantonese out of this midtown favorite—which serves up authentic dishes at a great value. By day, the office suits set pours in for quick lunches; by dinner, Phoenix Garden lights up with a fun, diverse crowd looking to check out the mouthwatering daily specials. While the house's tasty Peking duck is not always on the menu, you can certainly try to request it—a deliciously crispy affair that gets rolled into neat little pancakes with hoisin, scallion, and cucumber. Meanwhile, don't miss the steamed chive dumplings, plump with tender shrimp; the succulent pepper and salty shrimp; or the sautéed snow pea shoots in a lovely crabmeat sauce, with tender mushrooms and snow peas.
