"The walls of this Shanghainese restaurant are decorated with cute anime characters contemplating equally cute, smiling dumplings. We understand the impulse to make art inspired by the food here. The chopstick wrappers even offer a step-by-step guide to drawing Mr. Bun himself. An order of pan-fried juicy pork buns looks just like the restaurant’s namesake (without the smile), but don’t stop at the buns. The xiao long bao, sticky rice shu mai, and wine chicken are all great. This is a good choice for dim sum when you don’t want to deal with an hours-long wait, or if you have kids.
