Chinese food is as beloved as Christmas Day in New York, so we're feeling a bit snubbed that we only have two restaurants in this top ten list of America's best Chinese restaurants. And while we could maybe be content losing the #1 spot to somewhere in San Francisco, we have to play fourth-fiddle to Yang Ming Restaurant in Bryn Mawr, PA. Foodie Ed Schoenfeld complained to the Post, "We have some wonderful restaurants in New York that were left off. It's simply wrong—not that there can't be great Chinese restaurants in Tennessee or Alabama but come on..."
Flushing's Szechuan Gourmet came in fourth place on the list, with one reviewer saying it's the only Chinese restaurant he'll frequent in New York: "There are just so few Chinese restaurants that are this good in this city. The heat isn't for wimps in this food." Congee Village on Allen Street also came in ninth place, where one reviewer says, "They definitely have issue with serving anyone who is not Chinese."
One Chinatown diner said, "I'm surprised. I never heard of the place. I wouldn't make a special trip out there." Take that, Bryn Mawr! Oh, and Barnard totally kicks your school's ass.
