"Stinky tofu is nice and crispy. Very close to my childhood memory of this Shanghainese speciality!"

"The most authentic 生煎包 in New York. Exactly as you would find in Shanghai. These are small with soup inside, nicely browned and crispy on the bottom. The absolute best!"

"The Salteñas are as good as they say! Crispy slightly sweet dough on the outside, savory goodness inside, with soup!"

"Very touristy but still, great vibes, lots of good restaurants and shops."
