The 26 Best Restaurants in New Orleans

"Since its opening in 2019, this Chinese restaurant—still a culinary rarity amid the Creole-laden eateries of the historic French Quarter—has enjoyed panoramic enthusiasm. The restaurant’s name means dim sum, and naturally, it is strong in this area: The Hong Kong-style dumplings come out delicate and chewy, surrounding crabmeat and crawfish, steamed pork, chicken, and kale. They bring a jolt of heat, but nothing intimidating, and there’s plenty of fiery chili sauce at the ready. Dishes such as salt and pepper chicken wings, jianbing (Chinese-style crepes), and walnut shrimp all stand up to the considerable hype." - Paul Oswell
