Chinatown Downtown offers an exciting and diverse menu, showcasing a blend of traditional Asian flavors with a unique twist. As a reviewer, I’m excited to dive into the variety of options that truly stand out.
To start, their Appetizers are a crowd-pleaser. The Shanghai Egg Rolls bring the perfect crunch, stuffed with savory fillings, while the Vegetarian Shanghai Egg Rolls offer a fresh, light option for plant-based eaters. If you're craving something more refreshing, the Vietnamese Spring Rolls are a hit, brimming with crisp vegetables and herbs. The Fried Chicken Wings are golden and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, a must-try for wing lovers. And the Crab Puffs (six per order) are a delightful bite of creamy crab filling wrapped in a crispy shell—pure indulgence.
For those looking for a flavorful start, the Soups are rich and satisfying. The Egg Drop Soup is light but flavorful, while the Wonton Soup offers a comforting bowl of delicate dumplings. If you're craving something spicier, try the Hot and Sour Soup, or go for the Shrimp with Lemongrass Soup for Two, a fragrant, tangy dish that transports you straight to Taiwan.
When it comes to Chef’s Specialties, Chinatown Downtown doesn’t hold back. The Shrimp with Honey Walnuts is a standout—sweet, savory, and with just the right crunch from the walnuts. The Sesame Shrimp is a perfect balance of nutty flavors and crispy shrimp. For something with more heat, the Thai Pepper Basil Shrimp delivers a perfect balance of spice and aromatic herbs.
With Shrimp Dishes like the Dragon and Lion Fight and the flavorful Sweet and Sour Shrimp, each plate promises a delightful taste experience. If you're in the mood for something more comforting, the Shrimp and Broccoli or Shrimp and Cashew Nuts will hit the spot.
Their Meat and Vegetable Dishes are equally enticing. Moo Goo Gai Pan is a classic, featuring tender chicken and crisp vegetables in a savory sauce, while the Lemon Chicken offers a tangy, citrusy punch. Vegetarians will love the Buddha’s Delight, a medley of fresh vegetables in a delicate sauce.
The Rice and Noodles options are as varied as they are delicious. Whether you’re into the bold, flavorful Chinatown Fried Rice or prefer the Yang’s Fried Rice (sans soy sauce), there’s something for everyone.
And of course, the House Specials, like Beef with Broccoli and Kung-Pao Chicken, will satisfy any craving, blending textures and tastes in perfect harmony.
In short, Chinatown Downtown’s menu is a feast for the senses, filled with rich, savory dishes that cater to every palate. From appetizers to entrees, you’re in for a culinary adventure that leaves you coming back for more!
