"“There’s something about family meals here that feel extra special…maybe it’s because we all share the food we order, or maybe it’s the excitement that comes from an excursion to another Manhattan neighborhood. Maybe it’s the soup dumplings! Whatever it is, Deluxe Green Bo seems to bring out the best in all of us for our nights out with the kids.”" - brennan carley
"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
"If you want to impress anyone with excellent soup dumplings, take them to Deluxe Green Bo. In addition to the soup dumplings (which are incredibly meaty and come with a combo of crab and pork), we love the rice cakes with shredded pork and cabbage, as well as the hot and spicy wontons that come with peanut sauce, sesame seeds, and chili oil on top. The space isn’t huge, so we wouldn’t recommend bringing more than four people here with you, but it’s great for a few out-of-towners if you’re playing host." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
"While not strictly a dim sum spot, Deluxe Green Bo has a section of their menu dedicated to Shanghai dim sum. This happens to include our favorite dishes on the menu, like their extremely crispy scallion pancake, a steam basket of meaty pork and crab soup dumplings, and the hot and spicy wonton that comes drenched in cold, thick peanut sauce and hot chili oil." - hannah albertine
"Open since 1982, this Chinatown restaurant works for any occasion. Pop in for a casual group dinner, or host a birthday party with a spread of Shanghainese food and a few bottles of riesling from the shop across the street. In terms of atmosphere, there isn’t much beyond fluorescent lights and a handful of plain wooden tables, but that’s fine. The simple, meaty soup dumplings provide all the ambiance you need. Round things out with some wontons and rice cakes." - neha talreja, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, willa moore
