Go for the Soup Dumplings. We stopped for a quick lunch before going to a matinee show. After hearing so much raving about the soup dumplings here, we had to make sure we tried them on a quick visit to the area.
We ordered both the pork soup dumplings. I understand they are made to order, so I wasn't surprised that it took a good 15 minutes for them to be served even though the restaurant was not busy at this hour. I was surprised at how large the dumplings were. I understand that some people say the proper method of eating them is to bite or puncture the dumpling so that the soup drains into your spoon. But since I'm accustomed to slightly smaller dumplings I like to put the whole dumpling into my mouth and feel the release of the soup in my mouth as the dumpling bursts. That way I experience the full flavor of the soup along with the filling.
It was not an easy chore to get a whole dumpling into my mouth. It was impossible for my wife to do so. Letting the dumplings cool considerably was the key to not burning my mouth. By the time we finished the half dozen pork dumplings, it was a lot easier to deal with the cooler, remaining 6 crab dumplings.
The soup flavor of the pork dumplings was simply outstanding. So much flavor!!! The crab dumplings had a lot of crab/fish flavor, but our favorite was the pork.
