Fill up on Mandarin and Shanghaiese specials at this Chinatown spot. You'll find all the usual suspects--like Peking duck, pork-filled steamed dumplings and sweet-and-sour pork--along with more adventurous choices, like eel sauteed with bamboo shoots and greens; preserved pickles and bamboo shoots with rice cake; and xiao long bao, meat-and-broth-filled dumplings. The clientele is diverse--you'll see everyone from Chinatown locals to twentysomething hipsters--and the ambience is casual yet classy.
