| - Where I'm from, there is no Chinatown, and the available Chinese restaurants offer typical American-Chinese faire. Whenever I am in a big city, I make sure to check out real Chinese restaurants, which led me to this place.
My favorite food, arguably, are soup dumplings. Checking Yelp reviews, I noticed this place had soup dumplings. Then I discovered, "The Incident." I immediately knew I had to come here.
It's a pit: basement level, dusty, open containers, sticky tables, the most cluttered kitchen I have ever seen. I took my fellow Yelpers advice to not look around and just trust it. My friend and I gave each other several of the, "Should we just leave" looks before deciding to bite the bullet and order.
The tea they serve was delicious. I think I drank two pots just myself. We ordered some type of noodle dish, soup dumplings, and soup buns. I discovered (when my food came out) that this place calls what I know as soup dumplings soup buns. Luckily I ordered them. And they were delicious. We were full so did not finish everything, and one of the workers came over and thought we did not like the food. She was apologetic, although we tried to tell her we loved the food, it was just that we were full. Very nice and caring.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, and I would recommend this place to others. Just follow everyone else's advice: don't look around, just order.
