"In many ways, this cash-only BYOB in Chinatown is like other dim sum spots in the neighborhood: full of people getting mini facials after opening the lids on their steamer baskets. But the specialty here is Shanghainese pork soup dumplings, which come in orders of eight and cost less than an Uber from Fishtown to Queen Village. Build your meal around these soft, thin wrappers loaded with salty mounds of pork. The menu also has dependable go-tos like softball-sized buns, scallion pancakes, and crispy shrimp on sticks." - candis mclean, alison kessler
