Best Dishes NY Editors Ate This Week: February 18 | Eater NY

"This new Jersey City restaurant in the Paulus Hook neighborhood just opened with a giant menu of dishes from Shanghai and Sichuan province. The dining room is dressed up with modern flourishes — a silk screen of an egret — or is it a crane? — and sconces along the walls. While I’d had takeout from here before visiting, I was more intrigued with the menu after eating a collection of four or five good dishes after sitting at a table: scallion pancakes, Shanghai-style very stuffed pork-and-chive dumplings, a roast duck and a beef ball Sichuan dish, among others. Its cold fresh chicken in wine sauce was a well-seasoned and mellow way to start off a meal ($16). Note that the dining room fills up around 7 p.m. and it’s BYOB. — Melissa McCart, lead editor, Northeast" - Nat Belkov
