 There’s no question that Manhattan’s Chinatown is changing, with a host of new restaurant arrivals adding fried chicken and acai bowls to the neighborhood’s more traditional roster of dim sum and seafood. From standout noodle shops to a retro burger joint, here are 13 must-try spots between Allen and Lafayette, a mix of old standbys and new kids on the block. No Donnie Wahlberg, though.

Michelin-starred chef Armand Arnal turns out an incredibly juicy rotisserie bird that’s available whole, in sandwiches, or on top of salads. The sides are also top-notch, especially the caper- and Dijon-dressed potato salad (when it’s on rotation, that is). 189 Lafayette St.
Best dim sum: Nom Wah Tea Parlor You can’t write a guide to eating in Chinatown without a nod to this OG tea parlor, which has been slinging dumplings and other dim sum favorites since 1920.
