"I live nearby and have been coming here for about 2 years.I honestly believe they have the best steamed dumplings in Manhattan. And yes, I've been to Vanessa's, Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, etc. Auntie Guan is a bit of a higher price point, but their steamed dumplings are great. And you can get some less common varieties such as pork celery, pork and pickled cabbage, and egg shrimp chive.This place is a bit traditional, so I can understand some of the reviews of those who are unfamiliar with traditional Chinese restaurants on the level or style of service. I've always found them to be attentive and friendly.Besides the dumplings, many of their other dishes are great."
