Cantonese cooking is the foundation of Chinese food in New York, rooted in Manhattan's Chinatown and now stretched out to the wider city. Wu's Wonton King on East Broadway is a benchmark for roast meats and live-tank seafood, while Joe's Steam Rice Roll in Flushing has built a following on silky cheung fun. Bonnie's in Williamsburg pushes the same tradition into a younger, Cantonese-American register.
