Deluxe Green Bo

The 10 Best Soup Dumplings In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You won’t see any colorfully dyed exteriors or extravagant filings incorporated into Deluxe Green Bo’s xiao long bao. Just plain and simple steamed flour-dough pouches filled with meaty pork, crab, and savory broth, each perfectly pinched and twisted at the top so you get a chewy knot bite. Deluxe Green Bo has been serving customers on Bayard Street since 1982, and it’s one of our favorite places to go with a small group in Chinatown. Aside from the xiao long bao, get an order of fried tiny buns filled with pork, an extremely crispy scallion pancake, and the hot and spicy wontons that come drenched in cold, thick peanut sauce and hot chili oil. Bring cash, as Deluxe Green Bo doesn’t accept credit cards." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
