Living in Shanghai, you realize everything from crispy roast duck to kebabs and naan falls under "Chinese food." Our favorites are the hearth-like wonton dens that materialize out of the back alleys, the fact that come fall almost ever dish is lathered in succulent hairy crab roe, and of course, xiaolongbao. We wish we could use them as IV bags.
If you're not in the mood for Shanghainese, there are plenty of other decent options. And whereas cheap in New York means a McGriddle off the dollar menu; here it means four bamboo rings of silky, plump XLB hand-rolled by a granny that's been doing it since the rickshaw days. But we'll spare you the soliloquy. Here are 11 gems we've uncovered over the years.
