Wu’s Wonton King

The cluster of blocks where Chinatown converges with the Lower East Side is now known as Dimes Square, but long before its rebranding, Wu’s was here serving large bowls of plump wontons bobbing in broth. It’s remained a favourite of New York City’s food writers and chefs who come for the soup, chicken with crispy garlic, and giant crabs that can be ordered for large parties. If you are looking for wine or liquor, be sure to pick some up on your way to take advantage of the restaurant’s BYOB policy, as the only alcohol they sell is beer.\nwuswontonking.com
