Fried Flounder in Chinatown – NYC
Everyone loves lobster in Chinatown, but I still haven’t found a great lobster spot. My recent favorite was the house special baked lobster with cheese at Danny Ng’s Place, which sounds weird, but was really tender with a thin, salty cheese crust. Unfortunately, that restaurant recently folded. According to Danny at Food in Mouth, it was due to asbestos (the secret menu featured cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis), but according to Bowery Boogie, a mixed-use building being built in its place may be the cause. In any case, while the perfect lobster in Chinatown is yet to be found, good fried flounder is easier to find. A few months ago, I had a flounder at Fuleen Seafood, and last month at Oriental Garden. Both were good, but one was much better. MORE ยป
