"The tiny yet mighty Shanghainese restaurant One Dragon in Chinatown is known for its xiao long bao. And that makes sense because the soup dumplings here are piping hot and filled with savory consomé. Every night, a long line of people clamor for a table as the staff scrambles to accommodate as many people as possible into the small space. Despite being hectic, One Dragon quickly sends out fresh dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, and sauce-drenched pork belly." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
