"Located in Bath Beach, Liu’s Shanghai serves both Shanghainese and Cantonese classics in a casual setting with marbled four-top tables. They have killer wonton soup, and we’re obsessed with the crispy fried wontons topped with peanut dust—but nothing on the menu beats their pork and scallop xiao long bao. Inside the thin, golden skins, you'll find whole, dried bay scallops that have rehydrated thanks to the soupy broth inside. It’s a pretty small spot in a quieter residential area, but they do have one big, round table for a large family dinner amongst the smattering of smaller tables." - neha talreja, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, willa moore
