New King

Slowly becoming an institution, this hugely popular Mandarin Chinese restaurant seems to have found a perfect balance between food, price and ambiance. The food is authentically Chinese, delicious, fresh and quickly served, and all of that for a bargain. Service is fast and rushed, but it doesn't feel like a snack bar. It has a stylish interior, and it's still one of those places you could bring a date to. The biggest problem is that everyone seems to know this place, so it's somewhat crowded and noisy, and you'll probably have to wait outside for a seat to become available. When you get in, order the oysters. They're a hit.
