Try the Lake Tung Ting Shrimp ($10.50) for an unusual and surprisingly tasty dish, but head to Chinatown for authentic and inexpensive Chinese food. The daily luncheon combination is a good deal for a great deal of food ($6.25 for one entree, fried or white rice, and hot & sour or egg drop soup, served M-F 11:30am-4pm).
