Shi Miao Dao, 901 Race St.,21 : This Chinese chain specializes in Yunnan “crossing the bridge” rice noodles added to mini-hot pots with various add-ins and choice of several broths (try the original or spicy pickled pepper). 10th St., 26 : My current champ for soup dumplings in Chinatown (try the Wu Xi dumplings) specializes in Shanghainese and Taiwanese favorites. Ninth St., : Chinatown’s duck house standard still serves a top notch bird, plus stand-out noodle soups, dumplings and other Cantonese fare.

Bubblefish, 909 Arch St., 26 More Sugar, 125 N 11th St., 21 īai Wei, 1038 Race St., 21 baiwei.restaurant (most accurate menu on GrubHub): A family favorite with a broad menu of regional favorites, from xiao long bao to Chongqing chicken and massive spicy stir fry bowls for sharing. But the desserts, including the best-selling tofu cheesecake (tangy!), striking charcoal-strawberry layer cake, and cheesecake flavored with burnt durian, were good enough to convince me to someday return for a proper meal and pot of pu-erh tea. The couple’s stylish new all-day brunch spot More Sugar opened just months before the pandemic, so I haven’t yet had a chance to sample the wildly diverse savory menu ranging from avocado toast to chicken spaghetti, a single grilled large clam, and lamb chops.

I also tried the Caterpillar Bread which was essentially an open ended baked BBQ pork bun. I almost, almost, forgive them for charging $10 for only four of these dumplings. The dipping sauce was also really good, usually I find the traditional black vinegar based sauce to be sharp and acrid, but at Bing Bing the vinegar sauce is smoothed and mellowed. They packed a lot of unctuous soup into these dumplings and the pork filling was delicious, savory and slightly sweet. They were cooked perfectly, which you rarely see in the U.S., so the wrappers maintained their integrity and kept the soup contained. However, the pork soup dumpling were among the best I have had in a long time. The filling was a wad of overcooked greens with a slightly bitter cabbage flavor. The Dumplings: The Scarlet Dumplings, which are filled with Swiss shard, tofu and crispy garlic, were way over cooked. Overall the prices at Bing Bing seemed high for what they served. The eggplant mapo tofu was solidly tasty, but not worth the $16 they charge for it. The Dan Dan Noodles was great veganized, with shiitake mushroom pieces filling in for the traditional pork, and perfect al dente springy chewy noodles. The menu includes a handful of vegan items and they are willing to veganize some of the other items. ![]() Bing Bing Dim Sum is a hipster Chinese-fusion restaurant in South Philadelphia with a limited small plate menu that does not really rise to the title of Dim Sum. ![]()
