  • Shanghai You Garden is great, but they have thick, bread-like skin sheng jian bao with not that much soup unlike Xiao Yang Sheng Jian.

  • Shanghai You Garden is another good one. There’s 3 locations, the Bayside location have the better chefs. They have the best roasted duck in the city.

  • But honestly the filling to wrapper ratio gets thrown off with this type of XLB. Worth a try once though.

  • replying to u/NYerInTex: Grab the 7 and go to Flushing. He may well be able to beat discern which options are most authentic, but the lesser known food court called New York Food Court has some really traditional options from my admittedly not of Chinese descent knowledge.

    Shanghai You Garden (we always get scallion pancakes and noodles, but they also give you free soup dumplings there with any order).

  • I honestly think Shanghai You Garden and Nan Xiang XLB are about on par in terms of food, but You Garden edges the win by having those duck buns. Neither are amazing, but they're still fun and enjoyable.

  • Shanghai 21, Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao and Shanghai You Garden are good too if you like the more traditional Shanghai style XLBs.

  • Shanghai You Garden (excellent soup dumplings, expansive menu with lots of other good stuff too; pretty sure beer is available)

  • replying to u/trey1928: Shanghai You Garden has the best dim sum in NYC and I will go to war to defend that truth

    Ok this place used to be my #1 spot, but I’ve found it to be overly greasy in recent years

  • replying to u/veggieliv: Here are some of the best places to go in Flushing. We like to get a dish or two (and a beer 🙂) at a few places and then move on, so we can try as many places as possible. Most places are cash only, FYI Xi'an Famous (they're known for their lamb noodles, but I highly recommend the cucumber salad). Daxi Sichuan (we like to get the potatoes, green beans, and cabbage with glass/bean thread noodles). It is upstairs in the New World Mall. Downstairs from Daxi, there is a whole huge food court that is very well-known. Grab a few treats there. Shanghai You Garden (we always get scallion pancakes and noodles, but they also give you free soup dumplings there with any order). We usually end here because the servers are so wonderful, we end up having more than one beer... White Bear (dumplings) or Tian Jin Dumpling house. These are great to-go too if you can't eat another bite on your journey. The Attic is a fun little speakeasy with oysters and cocktails For something sweet, I recommend walking down to Fay-Da Bakery and looking at all of the markets along the way. You can stop at Jin Feng Fishball for $3 peanut noodles too as you walk down to it. Another place to check out that people rave about in Flushing is Joe's Rice roll, but it's not our favorite. 

    I can vouch for both the scallion pancakes and the soup dumplings at Shanghai You Garden. One of the best meals of my life.

  • replying to u/espresso-urself: Hi! I grew up eating a lot in Flushing so I hope I might be of some help to you. LaoMa Malatang in New World Mall is a great place to do mala dry pot since you mentioned like szechuan PanBao in the same food court is good for fried soup dumplings. Honestly you'll be able to find handpulled noodles and dumplings there as well. HaiDiLao for really good hot pot and A++ customer service and experience. When you order the handpulled noodles they come out and pull it/dance in front of you. Xiang 73 - heard this place was good hot pot also, and is newer, in the recently opened Tangram mall. White Bear - lots of ppl know about this place now, good fore their chili oil wontons. RIP TianJin dumpling house, my favorite dumplings in Flushing. They were right across the street from the library, and has reopened under a different name, not sure if they're good though but the address is 41-41 Kissena Blvd, Queens, NY 11355. Other than that place I think lots of people like Northern Dumpling King I was gonna say Szechuan mountain house but don't know of a great alternative as my parents always steered away from spicy food. JuQi if you're looking for an elevated peking duck/ Chinese food experience with artistic presentations. Shanghai You Garden for soup dumplings and shanghainese food. Gong Gan for Korean/asian flavor desserts that are super beautiful, and a great selection of unique cafe/mocktail drinks and croisants. Asian Jewels for dim sum. I could honestly go on an…

    their shanghainese food and soup dumplings are also much better than you garden).

    Shanghai You Garden has the BEST crystal shrimp dumplings I’ve ever had. I could cry just thinking about how good they are

  • Shanghai You Garden might be your best bet. They definitely have bottles of Asahi or Sapporo, and lots of good stuff on the menu to please all tastes.

  • replying to u/TheKingSimp: Anything you get in particular? Will definitely be trying the soup dumplings and scallion pancake if so make it there.

    the duck is delicious I recommend getting one per person. The wontons in chili oil and peanut sauce are pretty great. Pan fried dumplings are great. Can’t go wrong with anything you order really.

  • replying to u/mfairview: not really craving anything so just seeing everyone's favorites..seeing lots of the known places and was hoping for some new picks. tbh not a huge korean fan outside on bonchon so haven't explored that much. need to explore flushing a bit more. always do maxi noodles there. that and maybe astoria.

    Drunken Chicken from Shanghai You in Flushing. Their dumplings are good too.

  • replying to u/SoSpiffandSoKlean: I love their dumplings, the noodles were really disappointing though. Now I stick to soup dumplings and cucumbers there

    Their yang chow fried rice is really good though.
