"Once a beloved Chinese-American restaurant in the Lower Garden District, Blue Giant is now closed; one of its owners is reportedly assisting with Rosella's menu development." - Clair Lorell
"Dumplings must be comfort food worldwide — there are versions of the dish everywhere, from Poland (pierogi) to Japan (gyoza) to Italy (ravioli). At Blue Giant, the Chinese version is shrimp wontons (their special soup dumplings don’t travel well), tender dough stuffed with ground shrimp and swabbed with spicy chile crunch. Get the egg roll too; best in town. Call to order; follow social for hours." - Beth D’Addono
"Blue Giant is now slinging reinvented Chinese takeout standards, including peking duck, fried rice, egg foo young, shrimp wontons, blue crab rangoon, dan dan noodles, and blanched bok choy with a sauce made from Louisiana oysters." - Clair Lorell
"Bill Jones and Richard Horner are set to open a straightforward Chinese-American restaurant in the Lower Garden District with a menu that includes peking duck, fried rice, egg foo young, shrimp wontons, blue crab rangoon, and dan dan noodles.
