  • Their dough work is probably some of the best I've had outside of Asia. They also might be the only place in NYC to have the version of pan fried pork buns with soup inside which is amazing.

  • replying to u/throwawayzies1234567: There’s a Costco right there, you can grab a slice. That’s kind of a sketchy area. Jump back on the ferry and go to Panorama Room on Roosevelt island. Light/healthy menu and very hip, amazing views.

    Bund for pan-fried soup dumplings or Aliada for Greek/Cypriot are not too far into Astoria.

  • Not Manhattan, but antidote in Williamsburg and the Bund in forest hills both make solid no bs/celery versions.

  • replying to u/thansal: * A number of things at the now closed Memories of Shanghai (Lion's head meat balls, tofu pudding, soup dumplings). * Fried chicken from Rowdy Rooster (ok, that's like half their menu, but whatever). * Maple Cruller from Doughnut Project. * Brisket from Bolivian Llama Party * Rava Dosa or Onion Chili Uthappam from Temple Canteen * Tako from Khao Yum * Kua Kling and anything w/ moo grob from Playground * Szechuan Gobi from Adda * Falafel from Manousheh * Gyudon from anywhere, but the only place I can regularly get it is Katagiri * Fly's Head from 886 * Burnt Broccoli Salad from Superiority Burger * Tonkotsu Tsukemen from TabeTomo * Egg tarts from New Flushing Bakery (now closed) The rolls you're thinking of at Masalawala are probably Pao/Pav (from Portuguese Pao). Parker House Rolls have a 'smile' from where you put a pat of butter in and then fold them over before baking. </breaddork>

    I always thought the soup dumplings at The Bund were better

  • replying to u/pretender80: Memories of Shanghai closing sucks as they had so many good dishes, but I always thought the soup dumplings at The Bund were better

    The one time I've been they were objectively bad (sour)
