"Sure, Lotus Pond's BBQ pork soup is a massive bowl of broth, chewy egg noodles, and tender hunks of meat. But we're really in it for the shrimp and pork wontons that are also submerged inside. The filling is generously seasoned, and when the wrapper edges get plump with schmaltzy broth, it's a beautiful thing. We also can't get enough of the tapioca dumplings, with their extremely chewy exterior, tasty shrimp and pork on the inside, and fish sauce for dipping, which pairs well with the sticky texture." - aimee rizzo
