"If you want some truly exceptional dumplings, go to White Bear in Flushing. A tiny takeout-only window, it has a big menu taped above the counter with 34 options on it. The most popular thing by far is the plate of wontons with hot sauce (no. 6). The wontons come filled with pork and vegetables, and they’re incredibly soft and just a little bit chewy. An order comes with 12, which is good for a light meal (you can always get 100 frozen wontons to go if you want to make some more at home)." - willa moore, will hartman

"A cash-only hole-in-the-wall that takes orders from a window and is best known for dumplings served with a distinctive hot sauce; the wontons and dumplings feature a special spice blend that locals describe as pure comfort food." - Rachel Chang

"By now, White Bear is on every “Where To Eat In Flushing” list. That’s because this spot has some of the best dumplings in the city. The must-order here is a plate of 12 wontons with hot sauce (no. 6). A visit to White Bear should be a jumping off point for a food crawl that involves at least two or three other restaurants in the neighborhood. At the end of the day, the person you’re with will begin to imagine a world without Flushing in their lives, and they won’t like that feeling." - kenny yang
