What would you recommend in China Town?

[PapaSmurf44]

You guys talk like being touristy is such a negative thing. There's a good reason why the place is so popular. I've lived in Chinatown for years and still think Joe's Shanghai's dumplings are among the best. Other places put too much sugar in them as if they're a dessert.

Glad it is popular and doing well. I never said it was bad, I actually enjoy the food. Just think that there are better options without having to wait in line with all of Cleveland, OH.

Supreme Restaurant, aka. Shanghai Dumpling, aka. Shanghai Cafe Deluxe, etc. is my jam. That and Buddha Bodai's epic yi mein.

Joe's Shanghai is like the Katz's of Chinatown. I'd rather head to 2nd Ave. or Eisenberg's (RIP)

When was the last time you were at 100 mott? In its post Shanghai Cafe iterations IMO, the xiaolongbao haven't been nearly as good.

Couple times during the Dumpling era. Haven't been since the most recent rename. Gonna be pretty despondent if it sucks now. I think I'd rather have seen them closed than phoning it in.

XO Cafe on Elizabeth. Big place, indifferent service, great menu, always full of Chinese families.
You can get your ox penis soup here... though I usually just go with sesame chicken.

Hak Box, under the bridge. Excellent Hakka food.

I don’t know, it’s been a few years for me as well.

Have not been there in two months but last time she was.
She is always nice to me. Now with the warmer weather I will do a walkabout and drop by.
