111 North Atlantic Boulevard
This totally authentic Chinese restaurant with moderate prices is a true find. Both locals and those "in the know" wander in when they want to experience a true Hunan feast. The "little dishes of Hunan," like a Chinese version of antipasti, are especially good. The crisp, grass-green snap peas, crunchy pickled cucumbers and bamboo shoots coated in reddish chile paste are some of the best choices. Entree specialties include the famous Hunan-style Cured Ham in Honey Sauce that comes sandwiched in a steamed bun. Try some of the really authentic and interesting dishes, like the tender 'Beggar's Chicken'. Wine and Chinese beer are available.

Harbor Village

111 North Atlantic Boulevard
Both locals and visitors seeking an authentic Hong Kong experience return to Harbor Village week after week. From the fantastic wanton soup, crispy spring rolls, fluffy dumplings and succulent barbecue pork, this is a brunch you won't soon forget. Dinner banquets are more costly but just as interesting with visiting chefs flown in from Hong Kong weekly. Watch as they whip up specialties you won't find anywhere else in town. Good bets are the pan-fried heads-on Shrimp in Spicy Pepper Salt, and the live fish from the in-house tank steamed with ginger and garlic.

Don't blame the chef for speed. This isn't a Chinese fast food chain or a small and greasy fill-them-up take out joint. This is gourmet Chinese food! Not possible? Look at the long line of first generation Chinese Americans as proof. Pig leg in brown sauce, Three cup chicken with parsley, Szechuan style egg plant, Mabo tofu, Oyster with thin noodle, over 139 dishes. For desert order a Taiwanese Ice. Shaved ice (snow cone) Chinese style: no childish syrups. Instead, lychee, sweet red bean, tapioca, mango, mung bean, or coconut jello, all toped off with condensed milk. – Robert Nomura
