A Chinese brasserie that helped spark Chinatown's revival, mixing Shanghainese and Taiwanese street food with a cool cocktail-bar energy. The mantou sliders, shao bing, and sticky rice cake are near-mandatory. They don't take reservations for smaller groups and the room is small and loud, so expect a wait at prime time.
