Bing Bing Dim Sum is my favorite in the city. They have normal soup dumplings but also their cheesesteak bao is fucking amazing.

Also, their happy hour prices are amazing and lasts a few hours.

Idk why someone downvoted this. Bing Bing may be hip and more expensive but the quality is great.

If you're looking for a hipster vibe where you pay more for dumplings and enjoy an overpriced but delicious cocktail, sure. It's just probably not what most people are looking for. They're not an authentic dumpling place where you can gorge yourself on dumplings for a reasonable price. Good, great quality, but not the choice IMO if looking for a good soup dumpling (dim sum garden has 6 varieties!)

People give this place so much shit for "not being authentic" but damn it's delicious. I don't think they ever claimed to be authentic in any way, so let them be delicious, with a good bar and outside seating and stop either complaining or gatekeeping. They do what they do, a little pricey but their own original version and it's enjoyable. Cheesesteak bao bun is great!

Edit: also, great soup dumplings, authentic or not!
