Jing Fong in NYC, NY
We were craving dim sum and planned to go to Jing Fong in Chinatown when we realized that this place closed, apparently temporarily, the only location still open being on the Upper West Side. Smaller than its sister restaurant, this place was packed and we could only have a seat at the bar, opposite to the counter that had a view on the kitchen. I wonder if it explains why it took them so long to come get our order…

They have a nice selection of dishes, from dim sum to classic Chinese ones perfect for vegetarian and non-vegetarian diners. Here are the dim sum we shared:
Har Gow or shrimp dumplings: my favorite! The shell was thin, slightly sticky and there was a good size piece of shrimp in it.

Shrimp rice noodle roll: another favorite, the rice noodles melting in my mouth.

Peking duck and asparagus dumpling: quite good, I was afraid that the asparagus would overpower the duck, but it was not the case. I guess they make it with the meat of the Peking duck.

Scallion pancakes: our go to appetizer. It was good, slightly greasy, but the edges seemed a bit overcooked.

Vegetable Spring rolls: delicious! Crispy, slightly greasy, they came piping hot.

Vegetable dumplings: quite good, I wonder why they only bring 3 of them considering that most dumplings come with 4 pieces…

Overall, the food at Jing Fong is good, with a nice selection of dim sum. This is definitely a place to go to if you do not mind the less than welcoming service. I guess it adds a certain charm to it…
Enjoy (I did)!
