"If you’ve been looking for an excuse to escape your desk for half an hour in the middle of the day, Xie Bao is it. At this sit-down branch of one of our Best New Restaurants of 2024, the crab roe noodles are just as comforting as they are at the Flushing food stall. And while the meals are still fast and consistently delicious, the Hell's Kitchen menu is much more extensive. There’s pan-fried yellow croaker with shatteringly crispy skin, an entire section dedicated to seafood boils, and reasonably priced lunch specials." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, ciera velarde
"This stall in Flushing’s bustling New York Food Court puts crab roe—a Shanghainese specialty—front and center in many of its incredible dishes. If you order just one thing at the counter (the first one on your left when you enter), make it the silky, comforting crab roe over noodles. But many of the supporting-act ingredients at Xie Bao shine just as bright, like the flaky yellow croaker in noodle soup." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
"This stall in the New York Food Court on Roosevelt Ave puts crab roe—a Shanghainese specialty—front and center in many of its incredible dishes. If you order just one thing at the counter (the first on your left when you enter), make it the silky, comforting crab roe over noodles. But you really shouldn't order just one thing. Add on the chicken soup with crab roe and satisfying hunks of pork skin, or the flaky yellow croaker in noodle soup." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick

"Calling all crab freaks, get yourself to this booth in Flushing's New York Food Court. The roster here includes crab roe mooncakes, crab roe spring rolls, crab roe soup dumplings, and more. But our favorite dish is the silky crab roe with noodles, which comes with wood ear mushrooms, pickled vegetables, and a soy egg." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
