Fung Tu: Per Se Alum’s Chinese-American Restaurant

Fung Tu, a vanguard, casual Chinese-American restaurant, has arrived on 22 Orchard Street on the cusp of the Lower East Side and Chinatown. Experienced restaurateurs are behind the project including Per Se’s Jonathan Wu, Nom Wah Tea Parlor owner Wilson Tang, Mas farmhouse’s John Wells and Nellcôte (in Chicago) vet Jason Wagner. Forward-thinking asian delicacies like silken-fish doufu with dried beef and seaweed, and peanut butter and chocolate ganache sesame balls embody the unconventional (in the best sense) Chinese cuisine.
