5 Ninth, New York

Those who savor the flavors of Asia will enjoy a meal at this eatery, but may be disappointed if they're ravenous, for the portions can be quite small! The ambiance is cheery enough, though pretty curtains billow in windows that overlook the cobbled street, a great wooden door and pew-like seats add a quaint touch, and the garden patio, surrounded by vines, is a hot spot in summer. The slow-cooked Pork in Rhubarb-Lemon Sauce is a specialty, and noodles served with Chinese sausages are also quite popular. The chef is a master with meats, so muscle your way through some juicy ribs. Make your presence felt, as the staff is not too forthcoming. The wine list is decent enough - a recommended wine is the Valle Isarco Veltliner; it's surprisingly affordable.
