replying to u/crazeman: OP seems to be on a budget so I find it hard to recommend Nan Xiang XLB in Manhattan. Every dish on the menu is a few bucks more expensive than their Queens location and it adds up. My go to spot for soup dumplings is Deluxe Green Bo and I honestly didn't feel like Nan Xiang XLB was significantly better than Deluxe Green Bo to justify the cost.

replying to u/bruiserbrody45: This is a great response, i would just add that depending on your tastes, my St Marks move is the Bao while waiting for Szechuan Mountain House. Same owners as Che Li but sichuan. Also, three times is a mini chain that has very good soup dumplings with no fuss in many locations.

replying to u/thansal: Crash course on some of the top soup dumpling (Xiao Long Bao, or XLB) places: * Nan Xiang XLB - The old hotness, resurrected by a fan after it died. You can get it in Manhattan or Flushing, they have many flavor options. * Shanghai You Garden - The medium-old hotness. Story goes that it's a chef from the original Nan Xiang who opened it. There's a place in Flushing and in Bayside (don't go to Bayside). The fact that you can get individual roast duck buns is fantastic. * Joe's Shanghai - The OG. It's a tourist trap. They made them popular here in NYC, but it's just not worth the crowds/lines and the increased price. * Supreme Restaurant (100 Mott St) and Deluxe Green Bo - The most utilitarian options in Chinatown itself. I'm a fan of Supreme Restaurant myself, but there's plenty of proponents of both. * The Bao - My favorite in Manhattan. A bit more expensive, and they give you shitty metal soup spoons (too shallow, pulls away heat to quickly), but they're the finest I've had in Manhattan in a while. * My favorite is Memories of Shanghai in Forest Hills Queens. They punch so far above their weight class, and everything else they do is fire as well. That said, unless you're going to a show at the stadium, it's not worth a trip out there. You're not going to get bad soup dumplings at any of the places I listed (well, super unlikely, I had bad soup dumplings from the Bayside You Garden once), so I'd suggest whatever is the most convenient to you. If you'd like a littl…
“Agree with all this especially Nan Xiang, You Garden, and Supreme restaurant”
