personally, ignore the comment about Chinatown IMO. neither my inlaws (from HKG), their brothers and sisters (all from HKG) or my wife, daughter of hong kongers would ever suggest going to Chinatown first.
just search a guy by the name of charles yu over on chowhound.
in fact, GO to chowhound and read his posts on this subject.
i don't always agree with him but in many areas such as food, we do agree.
