"Our answer to the question posed by Wanna Bao’s name is, “Yes.” Opened by the One Dragon folks, this Shanghainese spot offers a dumpling oasis to the people of Midtown. Wanna Bao specializes in fresh and light xiao long bao, but also adds its own flair with colorful dumplings and puffy crispy-bottom bao. There’s no rule saying you can’t try every dumpling solo, but most folks in here are splitting buns and tea or grabbing jasmine tea-smoked duck on a date or folks grabbing takeout to enjoy in a nearby apartment." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, mai pham
