BEST OF DINING IN

CHINESE

Dim Sum A Go Go
5 E. Broadway

212-732-0797
For the best Chinese food in the city, Dim Sum a Go Go serves gourmet dishes you won't find anywhere else. Try the fresh shrimp, Chinese chives with fresh bacon and a dish of dried bean curd, preserved mustard green and other vegetables in a bowl of iceberg lettuce. Delivery day and night.

Mr. Chow
324 E. 57th St.
212-751-9030
This restaurant's delivery and take-out are great for midtown businesses and those who want to enjoy the Chinese delicacies, but would rather skip the celebrity scene. The shellfish and steak dishes get raves and there's always a specialty of the day worth trying.

Shanghai Cuisine
89 Bayard St.
212-732-8988
Food critics rave about the dumpling soup and fried yellow fish. Shanghai Cuisine also does a great job with basic pork, vegetable and meat dishes. Taking cash only, the restaurant is a great option for those who live and work downtown.

SUSHI

Haru
1329 Third Ave.
212-452-2230
For great upscale sushi, Haru offers free delivery within 10 blocks of its location. It's not cheap but the sushi and other delicacies, such as the grilled Chilean sea bass and tangerine duck, are consistently fresh and delicious.

Tenzan
285 Columbus Ave.
