The are the reason to go. People compare the chew to the best hand pulled places in the city. The come out crisp with a soupy inside, and the samsa get named almost as often. It's cheap and the portions are big. There's a second location on Coney Island Ave.

  • Food ended up being amazing. Dumplings were crisp, with a thin skin with a soupy inside with light seasoning that complimented the slighty gamey meat well. The noodles were fantastic too.

  • replying to u/PuggleLover11: I appreciate that they seemed to emphasize breadth, but i don't know that they nailed the best option in a given category. I also think more than a few spots were coasting on past accolades rather than current output. Have people had standout recent meals at daniel? casa mono? rezdora? i'd be looking for i cavallini, cesar, torrisi in the top 10. i guess atomix if its not 11-100; would also be somewhat surprised to see yoshino shut out (though sho is better).

    LE, at least the Gravesend location, has the leg up on decor, but TT had better food.

  • replying to u/Pamijay: Xi'an Famous Foods is mid. Maybe it used to be good before it franchised (according to all of my chinese friends) but there are so many other random places in Chinatown and Flushing, and even outside NYC (Seattle, Boston) where I had better lamb noodles and pork burgers. I don't personally know anyone who would want to go there over anywhere else. Also, Prince Street Pizza is nowhere near the best square in the city. Literally no reason to go there.

    Laghman express blows it out of the water, and they have samsas
