"The best soup dumplings in town are found east of Flushing in Bayside, Queens, at You Garden Xiao Long Bao. It’s an offshoot of the elegant Flushing You Garden, and dumpling master Zhou Jianhua, who once worked at the legendary Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, presides over the dumpling program. The soup dumplings are not particularly large, but bulge extravagantly with amazing broth. Also, don’t miss fried bean gluten, sweet sticky rice roll, Peking duck bao (though not a Shanghai specialty), yin-yang soup, or lion’s head meatballs. 4107 Bell Blvd., between 41st and 42nd avenues, Bayside" - Robert Sietsema
