Pork Soup Dumplings

📍 New York Chinese $$

at Joe's Shanghai

"Joe's Shanghai is the source of every conversation about soup dumplings in New York. The pork xiaolongbao arrive in bamboo baskets, the skins are thin enough to see the broth through them, and when you lift one the broth sloshes inside. The trick is to eat it in one bite or use the provided spoon and pierce the top to let steam escape first."
