@mage789, agree about the greasy food here, but disagree about the XLBs. where the hell do you go then in Manhattan?

@Chris, haha totally this place is better than Joe's.

@Humbucker, i've been going to this place since they were south of canal street and was called shanghai cuisine (over 10 yrs) and the C grade is warranted. I'm still alive.

@Kenji, try the "tung yuan" with black sesame. i know it's probably bought frozen in a store but it's still good.

great review, and awesome that y'all interviewed him. it's cool... maybe i'll try that idea too. haha.

ok so maybe comparison to cheap places around the city is beside the point.

let us compare it to the Red Hook Ball Fields then. You might find people who love their cheap tacos from a truck in the city, bu the Ball Fields are beloved in this city. That's where the comparison should be and a natural comparison to make. A more interesting question to ask the chef is who eats tacos there, and who eats tacos at his restaurant, and if all of that means anything.

dizzam. that is hardcore.

ABC Kitchen

ah love it. big brands won.

of course!

also, update the link to "tirade" because there's an extra forward slash at the end, which breaks the URL which is to a .html page. (you can delete this comment after you see it!)

to quote you:

"First off, if you're paying more than $4 (or even $3) for a bánh mì, you're at the wrong spot."

I just wanted to note that. You're getting your best from the "wrong spot."

thank goodness for this store. their doughnuts are way more accessible now.

at home?
