"Staring longingly at the case of hefty Cantonese dim sum (and then buying one of each) is the classic move at Good Mong Kok in Chinatown. You can get a couple of bags from this takeout-only institution for less than $10, and the portions are massive. They serve generously stuffed baked barbecue pork buns, squishy hot dog buns, and sesame balls that walk the line between perfectly soft and crisp. You’ll probably have to wait for them since a steady stream of people pack this place to grab an on-the-go breakfast or lunch." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
