Good & Cheap Ethnic Eats in New York City

This is a great book. It covers many resturants in the area. It provides good, accurate & quality information on these places. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a new New Yorker or long-lived resident.

don't try the japanese restaurants in this book

well, I bought this book mainly becuase of the attactive title. I took a look at the recommended list of chinese restautants, there is joe's Shanghai restaurant which I think it is good as well. So I think it should be a reliable guide. It seems to me that I should have a close taste as the author does. However, I am so disapointed about the japanese restautants the author recommends in the book. Especially "the taste of tokyo" which is the most terrible american japanese restautant I have been to. They have dirty sashimi which made me run to the lady's room a few times after having dinner there. Can you trust the spanish chef can make authentic japanese food? I don't for sure. the food there is not cheap either. I have been trying more than 50 japanese restuarants in Manhattan, a lot of them in San Marcs are good. I don't know why Robert names this one. Is it just becuase it is so easy to get lost on the way to the lady's room? I love japanese food and I sincerely suggest the author should review his list.
