Chinatown, Seattle

It's not quite San Francisco, but Seattle's Chinatown is fairly enormous, and the food is as tasty as the neighborhood is sketchy (at night). Jade Garden, famous for its dim sum, has huge, bubbling, crowded tanks of live lobster and crabs, great daily specials and a super late closing time (2:30 a.m., M-Th, 3:30 a.m., Fridays and Saturdays).






Try the crab or beef with black bean sauce, or the eggplant in Szechuan Hot Pot ($8.95) and sauteed string beans ($7.95).
