How locals do it

A neighbourhood 点心店 known for 鲜肉锅贴 (pan-fried pork dumplings) and 咖喱牛肉汤 (curry beef soup). Locals eat it standing or perched at the few tables — the queue tells you it's right.

Don't get this wrong

It opens early and the potstickers move fast; go before the morning rush ends. There are only a handful of seats, so plan to take it away.
