“Liu Shanghai has this delicious "fish head casserole" on their menu but it's more like a soup.”

replying to u/redditOP81: I went to Liu's a couple of months ago. Did you feel like their quality has decreased? Their soup dumplings felt frozen and reheated. I went on a busy Sunday afternoon.
“for the most part I've found the pork ones to be pretty consistent, sometimes the crab or scallop mix ones are hit or miss”

“Liu's Shanghai is a great neighborhood Shanghainese food spot. My favorite dish is the "fish head casserole" because it's not something you can easily find at other Shanghai restaurants.”

replying to u/rumfortheborder: charred scallion oil noodles at yozi are pretty satisfying, also the "dumplings" that are not closed, sort of like a fried row of chinese dumpling skin tacos-i thought it looked like a chain, but they told me it wasnt. where are the other ones? what is an example of a good XLB? i have enjoyed soup dumplings at both yozi and shanghai dumpling (in fei long) so i'm interested in what you think is excellent. love Kai feng fu for fried dumplings. in the neighborhood i generally hit park asia, dun huang, little thanh da, wong wong noodle. what am i missing out on????
“Liu Shanghai is also a good option in Bensonhurst, but I go more for their absolutely delicious Fish Head Casserole/Soup than their XLB.”

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>
