Profile

This Lincoln Center standby has cultivated a loyal following that comes as much for the cool retro environs—complete with distinctive wraparound wall dragon and glossy black booths—as for its renowned regional specialties. Sichuan alligator and buffalo Mandarin-style are among owner Michael Tong's newer gambits, as is the sweet, meaty Hunan-style ostrich in a wonderfully torrid toss of leek ribbons, red and green peppers, and fresh water chestnuts. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Sichuan alligator, $24.95; Hunan ostrich steak, $2c.95; buffalo fillet, $26.50
