Potluck Cafe

生煎包 Pan fried soup dumplings (labeled pan-fried buns on menu) here are absolutely goated: great value and yummy. 8 for $10. Best if you get it while a new batch is coming out hot. Nice lil cafeteria style restaurant tucked away on the edge of Chinatown. Classic dishes plus some Chinese American. No frills let’s get good food type of spot. Awesome lunch spot if you’re coming from downtown too.

This place is AMAZING. Do NOT skip. Quick delivery and absolutely ORGASMIC food. I know everyone comes for the pan fried buns, but do NOT forget to order the crab rangoons they were seriously the best I’ve ever had. The wrapper was just so incredibly crispy. I will 100%%%% be coming back as much as my wallet will allow.

It’s that perfect hole in the way type of place. I went for the $10 dumplings and they were the perfect snack before starting the freedom. Boston Commons is within walking distance.

Sheng Jian bao were the best we've had since Shanghai. The dough wasn't too thick and there was a good amount of soup in the dumpling. Stopped in for a snack and my daughter had the fish soup with noodles. She was very happy with that. Portions are generous and prices reasonable.

The food is good, portions are big, and prices are very reasonable. Because of this, it can get a bit crowded when eating in the restaurant, but takeout is an option too.
