"A Chinatown favorite known for expertly made xiao long bao that steam up in bamboo baskets and reveal seasoned pork and molten broth wrapped in tender, elastic skins. The meal pairs well with beef-filled scallion pancakes, cucumber salad, and spicy noodle soup, and dining there invites a little ritual—placing a dumpling on a spoon, piercing it to release steam, slurping stray broth, and adding a few drops of black vinegar. Each delicate pouch bursts with warm, rich, umami-packed flavor." - Janna Karel
