Hey New Yorkers in São Paulo! Missing those trips to Chinatown for a little oily indulgence in the form of noodles, sweet & sour meat or won tons? Well, we have found the place for you.
Yesterday afternoon we lunched at one of the Chinese restaurants in the Japanese neighborhood of Liberdade. Sitting in Chi-fu with a plate of Chinese food in front of me, surrounded by people of the same flavor, all of us at extra large family-style tables, I felt like I could actually be on Pell or Mott Street.
Like any good Chinese restaurant, the menu offers no less than a hundred different items, so chances are you’ll find what you are craving. But like the best in the New York neighborhood, it is cash only.
If you want to go, here is the info:

Not as cheap as it should be! Yes, the chandelier goes with the gold wallpaper of Chinese scenes. Perfect.
