replying to u/AlfalfaTimmy: Swapping XLB and pizza suprema on the itinerary! I’ll check out Excellent Dumpling House! Thank you! The scallion pancakes look so good too.
“Scallion pancakes are my favorite and theirs are amazing - always fresh and crisp but not greasy or too burnt.”

replying to u/EatingInTranslation: In the area bounded roughly by 22nd to 24th streets and Sixth to Eighth avenues, you'll find the restaurants Dim Sum Chelsea, Excellent Dumpling House, and (the more upscale, but maybe not quite fancy) Grandma's Home. You'll also find three Icon Parking garages, open 24 hours, in the immediate vicinity. Some combination of the above should do the trick.
“Fried rice with Shrimp: Excellent! (Wok Hei really present. ) Same for Fried rice with Roast Pork. Spicy Wontons in a peanut sauce. Loved SO MUCH had to order a second order.”

replying to u/CorrectAd3214: House of Joy is so tasteless and overpriced. Jing Fong is much better for dim sum
“For dumplings, the only place I tend to recommend is the unglamorous Excellent Dumpling on 23rd St in Chelsea. They were on Lafayette Street for 40 years so they know how to do dumplings… their dumplings are bigger than your usual kind, but the fillings don’t appear to be packed with cheap filler (last I ate).”
