    “My favorite dumplings ever. Both traditional combinations executed excellently, or creative flavors that were worth the effort. Also, another great place for soup dumplings.”

    replying to u/thansal: I've got to admit, there's not a tonne of people repeating things. A couple I didn't see: * Ice & Vice, best ice cream ever. Constantly creating new flavors, rotating past hits in and out, willing to try ridiculous shit (candied mushrooms and splinters of pine wood were NOT good mixins). Love and Hate was my all time favorite. * Memories of Shanghai. Tiny place off the main drag of Austin St the punched so far above its weight class. Those were my favorite soup dumplings. * Tian Jin Dumpling House/Dumpling Galaxy/anything else from Helen You. My favorite dumplings ever. Both traditional combinations executed excellently, or creative flavors that were worth the effort. Also, another great place for soup dumplings. * New Flushing Bakery - My favorite egg tarts. There's a few more, but those are the four that I'm seriously still in mourning about. I mean, I'm still in mourning for my pizza place, but they closed over 10 years ago.

    “the dumplings are as good as ever.”

    replying to u/NYerInTex: Grab the 7 and go to Flushing. He may well be able to beat discern which options are most authentic, but the lesser known food court called New York Food Court has some really traditional options from my admittedly not of Chinese descent knowledge.

    “White Bear (dumplings) or Tian Jin Dumpling house. These are great to-go too if you can't eat another bite on your journey.”
