This Shanghainese restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown makes some of our favorite soup dumplings in the neighborhood. You won’t see any colorfully-dyed exteriors or extravagant filings incorporated into these xiao long bao—they’re just plain and simple steamed pouches filled with crab, meaty pork, and savory broth. Deluxe Green Bo has been serving customers on Bayard Street since 1982, and it’s a great place to bring a small group in Chinatown. (There are a bunch of round tables in the back that comfortably fit six-ish people.) In addition to the xiao long bao, you should order the fried tiny buns filled with pork, the extremely crispy scallion pancake, and the hot and spicy wontons that come drenched in peanut sauce and hot chili oil. Just be sure to have cash on hand, as Deluxe Green Bo doesn’t accept credit cards. Also worth noting: This place is BYOB. Bring some beer or wine, and the restaurant staff will open your bottles and give you clear plastic cups to drink out of.
