White Bear

5.4/10Chinese

AI-generated summary

Get the #6, wontons in oil, about $10 and cash only. It's a window counter with no seating, so people eat on the street or carry it to the park down the block. People disagree hard about the food. Plenty say the filling is bland and the oil does all the work. Others still call them the best in the city.

  • replying to u/oni_bear: My chinese parents usually eat at cafe hong kong for their lunch special but they usually get the cantonese dishes and not the hong kong dishes. My mom likes noodle village. Both are relatively affordable. Nan xiang has a Manhattan location. It's decent. At Flushing, go to maxis noodles for wontons or dumplings. Skip white Bear. Idk why they hype that place up. Anyone who's had good wontons would know it's not good. If you want variety, New World Mall or New York Food Court has plenty of options. Not everything is out of the world amazing but there's a lot to choose from. People may rec shanghai you garden. I think it's ok at best. My father who works as a chinese cook said he would never eat there though so take that as you will. Idk what part of Brooklyn ur going to be in but the 8th Ave area has a lot of Chinese places. I can't vouch for any cause it's not where I usually am.

    I feel like the popularity made them precook their wontons and use way less sauce and it's been disappointing the last few times I've been there

  • replying to u/trashacntt: White bear was really good like 10-15 years ago. I feel like the popularity made them precook their wontons and use way less sauce and it's been disappointing the last few times I've been there

    I agree that currently it's super disappointing. Legit tastes like cheap frozen bland wontons drenched in red chili oil.

  • replying to u/RelativeLeather5759: Bummer cus those wontons look fiiiiirr

    Whitebear literally taste like you are chewing on a rice ball covered in bland chili oil. That place is a social media scam.

  • I’ve laughed out of white bear trying to get the vegetarian dumplings on the menu. Twice. Makes me like them more though
