"Somewhere between a golf ball and a tennis ball, the excellent shrimp and pork wontons at this Chinatown spot (the original location is in Flushing) have the same plump folds as a pudgy haloed baby in a Renaissance painting. Together with Maxi’s deeply savory broth—made with pork bones and shrimp—and the pleasantly chewy duck-egg noodles, they make for a comforting meal, especially if you add on the beef stew that’s simmered for three days." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, nikko duren
