On this edition of Joan Eats, Joan takes us on a culinary journey to Hwa Yuan Szechuan, a historical Szechuan restaurant located at 42 East Broadway in Chinatown, New York City. Joan shares her experience dining at this aesthetically pleasing restaurant and sampling dishes like sautéed pork dumplings, jumbo shrimp with ginger and scallions, and spare ribs. She highlights the renowned cold sesame noodles, originally popularized by Shorty Tang, and the Peking duck. Joan also provides insight into the restaurant’s background, managed by Chef Chen Li Tang, who reopened it in 2017 with a fusion menu of traditional Chinese dishes and Western influences. Open 7 days a week from noon to 9 PM, reservations can be made online at HWAYUANNYC.com. Joan warmly recommends this spot for its excellent service, ambiance, and iconic sesame noodles.
