Tosses boa in trash. Gummy and dense. Seemed like they had been sitting all day.

Misleading item descriptions (Fable-brand shiitake bao—which contained no discernible shiitake whatsoever). Also ordered lamb bao but was given chicken instead.

Same location but its Korean
This Bulgogi Beef rice bowl was good and portion big enough for a lady
The kimchi was disappointing today as the taste was not spicy not sour not crunchy
The sauce to mix into the rice was just chili oil with some sour vinegar not to my liking
BUT the original taste of the beef is good enough and the pickle white radish was really good and adds a kick to the meal

I would like to report a crime. I was hungry and just paid $12 for 6 tiny, mediocre sheng jian bao. You can get much better sheng jian bao at Shanghai Time on 38th St or New World Mall in Flushing.

Lotus seed bun. It’s pretty much a peanut butter bun, but still good. 3$ each, cheap and easy to eat on the go.
Downstairs in Chelsea Market. Also has a lot of Asian products !

Outer dumpling skin was soggy. As someone who has had a lot of dumplings, definitely lower tier.
Located in the lower level of Chelsea Market and tucked away in a corner, pan fried or boiled dumplings packed with flavor await.
Now, I'll admit I have a dumpling bias and I'm easily satisfied, but these were delicious. I got the pan fried pork dumplings and they were ready within 3 minutes of ordering and devoured less than 3 minutes later. The dough had a nice crisp on the bottom and the pork filling was juicy with a nice bounce when I bit into it. Served with soy sauce and hot sauce, you can enjoy them as is or get a perfect spicy bite.
The dumpling dough was on the thicker side, which I don't mind, but just as a heads up to those who want their dough so thin it's see-through.

The food has a lot of flour and no meat at all, I wanted to order the Guao Bao and they didn't have it. How come they have it on the menu and they don't have it in the store so they don't put it on.
Apart from the desserts, Tang Hulu doesn't have all the truths that are on the menu, I was curious to try something from that menu and they told me they didn't have it, how is it possible that you don't provide that type of service that you offer to your clients and get us so excited. I also had several questions because of my allergies that make my body itch and they didn't know. I had to eat that food and I could have gotten intoxicated.

These were very bad. Dry and small (for $12), they tasted like they had been seating for hours, even though they say they're made at order (not at all, I was served immediately after ordering). I felt like a fool for ordering this.

They had run out of the shiitake I got the 5 for 12
The beef is the best
The chicken is dry and flavorless and the lamb was gamey
I can live without ever eating that again.
Plus they're stingy with their soy sauce.
