The Best Cheap Chinese Food of NYCYeah Shanghai DeluxeA destination for soup dumplings in Chinatown.
The SceneWhile others line up at New Green Bo and Shanghai Cuisine (both also on Bayard Street), those who know head here. The interior's not much to look at, but the soup dumplings are engrossing enough that it doesn't matter. Lunchtime gets particularly busy, with deals luring staffers from downtown courthouses and office buildings. The FoodThe helpful waitstaff will happily steer you through the lengthy menu. The crab and pork soup dumplings (also called juicy buns) are the most popular, although those filled with sweet pea shoots offer a refreshing alternative. Other dishes, however, seem toned down for Western palates. The jumbo shrimp with chili sauce lacks the requisite zing, and the only real flavor in the roast chicken Northern style comes from the odd Szechuan peppercorn. Desserts are surprisingly good, especially the Eight Jewel sweet rice with a creamy red bean paste core. What's NearbyAfter your meal, stop into the Chinatown Ice Cream Company next door for a cone of lychee sorbet or red bean ice cream. 65 Bayard St |
