A&J Restaurant

These no-frills favorites dish up top-notch dim sum, with housemade noodles and dumplings, at great prices. Go with a crowd and dabble widely. Then you won’t have to choose between, say, the flaky thousand-layer pancake and the equally beguiling scallion version. Other hits include garlicky cucumber salad, dan-dan noodles, and Szechuan-style beef-and-tendon soup.
