Chinatown Brasserie

Fodor's Review:

This large, bi-level 175-seat dining room is thrillingly vibrant, featuring dark cherry banquettes and 10 stunning crimson pagoda silk lanterns suspended from two central columns. Chicken and pine nuts are wrapped in Bibb lettuce. Crispy Peking duck is roasted in a special barbecuing oven, then sliced and presented on a long platter with the crackling skin still attached to the succulent flesh. Fresh Mandarin pancakes, julienned scallions, and sweet, pungent hoisin sauce are on hand. Dark-chocolate fortune cookies contain salient quotes from Albert Einstein and Ronald Reagan.
