NYC|Crispy, Generous Pig Stomach Chicken Soup 🍲
Who would’ve thought a Northwest Chinese restaurant could excel at dishes from other regions too? 🥓 Pig Stomach Chicken Soup Can I really get something this good for under $30? Tender, generous chunks of chicken and crispy, almost "boldly" textured pig stomach—simmered with ginkgo nuts, red dates, and deer antler mushrooms until every ingredient is infused with flavor. As a Cantonese native, I approve: this is legit nourishing soup that warms you right up. 🐟 Sichuan Peppercorn Fish Large pieces of buttery-soft tilapia that melt in your mouth. Your lips tingle delightfully after each bite—spicy and totally addictive 🔥. 🐑 Hand-Torn Lamb No heavy sauces needed—just a light dip in salt and pepper lets the lamb shine. Tender, aromatic, and perfectly balanced between lean and fatty cuts. Even the fattier bits are easy to trim off, so no greasy aftertaste. 🍚 Lamb Rice Pilaf Who can resist a bowl of fragrant rice cooked in rich lamb broth? The added raisins 🍇 bring a sweet contrast that surprisingly complements the savory notes. 🫓 Scallion Pancake The aroma of scallions hits deep—instantly taking me back to street-side stalls from childhood. Pure nostalgic comfort. 🍜 Dunhuang Cold Noodles Springy noodles paired with tender shredded chicken in a sweet, salty, mildly spicy sauce—so moreish, it’s like eating savory, chewy "spicy strips" in noodle form 👀. This meal had it all: rice, noodles, bread, plus chicken, pork stomach, lamb, and fish (sadly, the beef pie was sold out 😢). After work, my friend and I accidentally feasted like it was a mini imperial banquet. We walked in tired and left fully recharged 🙌🏻. I usually swear by their Big Plate Chicken, but this time, the Pig Stomach Soup stole my heart. Located in Midtown, it's now my go-to for a comforting, flavorful recharge. 📍 Dun Huang (320 Lexington Ave) #NYCEats #NYCRestaurants #NYCFoodGuide #ComfortFood #ChineseFoodNYC #100PlacesToTry #BacktoSchool #WorkdayEats #MidtownEats
