Does a Chinese restaurant exist in Manhattan that doesn't drown its dishes with brown sauce, black bean sauce or other jarred glop?
if you're looking to order standard take-out staples general tso's/orange/hunan/szechuan meat dishes and noodle dishes-- the best places i've tried are SHUN LEE and JOE'S SHANGHAI. they take it easy on the sauces and both deliver uptown.
otherwise try these places in chinatown for some more authentic dishes XO (Taiwanese), SUPER TASTE (Noodles) and CONGEE VILLAGE (Cantonese)

Top five for $25
1. Taisho (skewers and japanese style tapas)
2. Max's (east village italian pasta; great when consistent)
3. Kun Jip (best homestyle korean hands down in manhattan)
4. Cafe Gigi (homey cafe, reminds me of college days BYOB)
5. Esperanto (Ave. C trek; entrees are around $15; festive latin boho atmosphere)
