As fresh as it gets! You watch them cook the baos in front of you and man these people hustle! There were so many people lining up to get these but the wait wasn't too bad. Gotta be patient for yummy authentic food. After you order, they'll call your number and they'll grab your buns fresh when your number is called. The buns have a crunchy bottom and the juiciest inside (be careful!). Can't wait to eat these again!
Wow flavor explosion with these soup dumplings from Liu Liu's! I was so impressed with the large soup dumplings that were filled with at least a tablespoon and 1/2 of pork filling. The soup inside of the dumpling complimented the flavors of the pork. The sear on the bottom of the dumpling added a nice crunch. Adding black vinegar after taking a bite married all the flavors together. The dumpling had a great chewy texture. Service was good. The place was bumping with many prep people and chefs. The ambiance was constantly busy as everyone was cooking and prepping. Such a wonderful experience!
I was very skeptical when I saw several influencers recommending Liu Liu Sheng Jian, but decided to give it a try while I was in the area. Liu Liu Sheng Jian is located toward the far end of the food court. The line moved fairly quickly, and I was able to get my hands on six of the Sheng Jian Bao straight from the giant frying pans. The Sheng Jian Bao was delicious as it was piping hot and it was filled with juice. I highly recommend biting off the top and slurp up the pork juice before continuing enjoying the Bao with the vinegar provided. There are plenty of seats available at the food court, but you might want to bring your own alcohol wipes to clean off the table for yourself if you don't want to wait for the food court staff to come clean.
Delicious. The crispiness of the bun and the juiciness of the meat is chefs kiss. Bun is not too thick so great proportion with the meat without feeling like you're overloading on carbs. Better to eat fresh but even if you don't, still delicious. It is located straight down from New World Mall food court escalator towards the back to the right side. Can get crowded depending on day of the week (usually busier on weekends).
Iconic for a reason. This was EXTREMELY delicious and filling. My husband and I got 2 milk teas from a nearby stall and then shared 1 large order of dumplings and were full. The service was quick and it's a chaotic but fun atmosphere. You can see them folding and cooking your food and they have a counter of sauces. Delicious and so juicy !!!!!!
After my wife bought me an order for dinner, I have been craving for more. Sheng Jian Bao, a soup dumpling that pan fried with hot soup inside a bun. Usually, the Sheng Jian Bao you get from the Shanghainese Restaurant are tender with a thicker bun. This one is with a thin and crispy bun with a savory piece of pork that splash soup into your mouth (Be alert that it will definitely burn your tongue). I was introduced to have it with aged vinegar and chilly sauce. It bought the taste of the bun to a level of an explosion. Stop by and try an order when you visit Flushing. It is located in a food court inside the New World Mall. It looks cheesy but tasty. Calvin
One of the busier stalls at the New World Mall is Liu Liu. Everyone gets the friend pork buns which are 6 for $10 or 8 for $12. Menu is in Chinese only but staff speaks English. Service is quick as the buns are ready to serve. Ample sauces. The buns are so hot (temperature wise) when you get them and are almost inedible unless you want to burn your face off. They're actually better in my opinion a hour later. Crunchy. Juicy. Overhyped. Yeah.
This place is legit. Nestled in one of the corners of New World Mall's basement food court, this spot is slinging shengjian baos like it's going out of style. They have two giant pans running to keep the bao production effective and it's definitely a sight to see. As with any spot in new world, you order and then fight for your life to find a table. $10 for 6 buns felt fairly priced. The buns are compact at first glance, but at first bite they're very generously filled with meat. Just be careful though, these things are soup filled and you won't want it exploding everywhere. That being said, the flavors and textures just work. Crispy bottom, soft top, and juicy/delicious meaty filling. What's not to love? Pour in some vinegar or chili oil to mix things up and you have a great snack/meal depending on your hunger levels. I could easily destroy all six, but I'd say this is best eaten as part of a food crawl with other people. Overall, 10/10 would recommend! Sure, the food court may be a bit overwhelming (especially during the weekend), but if you navigate correctly, you'll be rewarded with some great food!
These pan fried dumplings are so good. I feel like I didn't even look at anything else other than the dumplings. For $10 you get 6 and they are so filling. I wanted to get them as a snack but it was so much food. Since this is a stand within the food court, it was super quick and you can get it to go or for dine-in but the take out container might be better since the soup drips out. It's a no frills place and super good. The dumping was so crispy on the bottom but not burned or anything.
So delicious, crispy on the bottom, hot broth in the middle as you bite into the bao! We only got 4 pieces to keep the food tour going but this was a necessary stop. Located in the famous food court in Flushing, add it to your tour of the food court. Nice vinegar sauce to go along with it as well! read more
The mission here was to go to the New World Food court to grab some tasty bites. I've seen these adorable crispy bottomed baos go viral for a while now. I'm not gonna lie, I was excited to try it and waited patiently in line to buy some. No one complained about the wait, as the staff efficiently took everyone's order. I was mesmerized, watching the scratch made lil buns sizzle, brown and cook. My only downfall in this whole experience was that I didn't eat them immediately. I should've found a seat stat, and enjoyed them hot. Instead, I dragged them back to eat shortly after. Indeed the worst mistake ever. If I'd have eaten them right away, I would have experienced the juicy explosion in my mouth all while enjoying the crisp bottom of said lil bun. Sad....i will have to have a do over here again! read more
6 for $10!! I personally liked it, but my mom and aunt thought it was just okay. They felt that it was not soft enough and too hard/doughy, but I liked how crunchy it was and it was surprisingly quite juicy. Tbf im not the biggest fan of pan fried buns so i havent eaten too many in my life, but i though this was a solid spot for it's price. Def need to eat it hot tho, bc once it got cold the quality and flavors went down. Super quick service and plenty of seating inside the food court! read more

OMG!!! The best Panbao!! Initially, we ordered eight. However, after eating them, we went back to order more. They were super juicy and moist. They also had a good crunch to it. Wish we had more lol Definitely recommend for anyone craving pan baos! read more

Really great crispy soup dumplings. There was a line and it took a while to get the dumplings but it was worth it. So tasty and delicious and are extremely fresh and hot when you get them. Would return here just for these dumplings. read more

Came here for one of my food crawls in flushing and it did not disappoint! I loved the flavor of the soup inside each dumpling and it's so meaty! Very good for the price you pay. I will say they only have 1 sauce and I'm not a vinegar person so that's the only thing I have to say but other than that, loved the food! It's inside a food court so plenty of seating. read more
The buns are absolutely delicious! I love the crispy golden bottoms. Just by looking at it you would never expect there to be soup inside but there is quite a bit and it was super flavorful. I do wish I grabbed more spicy chili sauce but now I know for next time, it just takes the flavor of the buns to a whole other level. The servers were nice and service was super quick. Definitely a must grab if you're ever at the new world mall! read more
Liu Liu Sheng Jian is clearly known for their pork buns, which they were slinging nonstop while I was there. That's always a good sign. The buns were authentic, flavorful and reasonably priced. Taste-wise, they were really good and had a nicely cooked exterior. Just a heads up: they're pretty greasy and very filling, so plan accordingly. One order goes a long way. It's located in a food court, so there's plenty of seating, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy them while they're hot. If you're in the mood for something hearty and satisfying, this is a great stop. read more
Saw this place on social media and knew I had to check in out! At $10 for 6 pan fried buns, this is a pretty affordable option compared to a meal in Manhattan. Definitely get the vinegar and the chili oil that is next to the register. It really cuts through the richness of the buns. What's great about these buns is that they have soup inside, so I recommend the XLB style of biting one side, pouring the soup out onto a spoon, drinking the soup, and then eating the bun. Unfortunately it does get kind of heavy after eat more than 2-3, so if you are coming with friends, I recommend just one order (of 6 or 8) so that you can share, and hopefully to try the other stalls in the food court. I came alone and am from out of town, so I ended up eating it all and didn't have room to try the other places that also looked pretty good. read more
I got 6 piece Sheng Jian Baos for $10. They are located in a food court so there is lots of seating. The service was very quick and no-frills. The sheng jian baos were steaming hot with lots of soup inside! The filling was plentiful, and the wrapper is thing. The bottom is perfectly crispy. Personally, I like the outside being more like a fluffy bao, but this was a great contender! read more

$10 for 6 super juicy buns. These come out piping hot so do wait at least 10 minutes before biting into one or you'll burn the roof of your mouth. Recommend getting the spicy chili oil and vinegar and adding those to the buns. While waiting for the buns, if you've come in a group, search the food court for tables as it can be tough to find one. They take cash and card here so that's a plus in flushing. read more

Easy to order and made fresh right in front of you! For $10 you get 6 crispy bottom pork buns. They're super savory, satisfying, and an easy hit. The wrapper isn't too thick but thin enough that it doesn't overwhelm the juicy pork filling. I was also impressed because they're filled with soup (be careful and don't burn yourself!) but the bottoms somehow stay crispy. Self serve soy sauce and chili oil. read more

Pan fried soup dumplings, hot off this giant pot I mean, I can't complain! They were bursting with flavor. We waited a few minutes and it was ready. Be warned, the chili oil is spicy and the dumplings are hot temperature wise! It's located in an all Asian food court with lots of seating. read more

Keepin it real out here in NWM We actually had this spot catered for our wedding day breakfast, wasn't amazing cause of takeout, but having it right then and there, while theyre hot a steamy hits different. Always soupy and boiling hot. Always has a line now so... be prepared read more

We finally came with a large group to try this place out. We opted for the 8 baos for $12. It was underwhelming. The dough felt too thick and undercooked. The bottoms could've been crispier. They were a little messy to eat. The flavor was okay. I think maybe it's just not our preferred style of baos, but I would've preferred a thicker fluffier bao or a thinner crisper shell. read more
There's a whole bunch of spots to eat in New World Mall, but this is one of our favorite stalls to get pan-fried pork buns! They're Shanghainese sheng jian baos, filled with hot soup. They're juicy, flavorful, filling, and freshly made in front of you. I love seeing that huge pan of rotating buns as well. While the top is soft and fluffy, the bottom is crispy, crunchy, and toasted. You can enjoy the soupy pork bun with vinegar, chili oil, or just by itself. Eat these very carefully, like a soup dumpling! PanBao66 六六生煎王 (inside New World Mall) (136-20 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11354) Open daily 10am-8:30pm read more
The pan fried buns here are a must get! They're perfectly crispy on the bottom and full of hot, flavorful broth, be careful when you bite in because it can be super hot. I usually get the combo with the noodle soup and it always hits the spot. There's usually a line but it moves quickly, maybe 5-10 minutes at most. read more
The pan fried dumpling was quite good, with the right amount of crispiness, volume, juiciness. Lots of flavors and lost of goodness. The Beef noodle soup, however, felt very flat, with little to get excited about. It's as if the noodles are just generic, pre-packaged noodles. The north could be more savory, too. You really need a lot of help with the chili oil to make it taste decent. read more
Super yummy and fresh bao! Loved it super hot with lots of juice and the wrapper and filling are both super flavorful and well cooked!! Chili oil is ++ too. This is located in new world mall so seating is just food court seating. There can be a line so a bit of a wait too sometimes. read more

Yummy flavorful baos that burst when you bite into it. Very juicy too. This place blew up on social media so expect a 15 minute wait on weekends. (Not sure about weekdays). read more
After seeing all the social media posts about this place I finally got a chance to try it out and it lived up to its expectations! The soft top and crunchy bottom were on par and each pillowy delight was filled with a juicy pork and veggie filling. Be careful on that first bite and I like to make a small hole to retain all the soupy goodness inside that you can slurp down once it cools a bit. The service is no frills just order at the counter and then pick it up when they call your number. Will definitely add it to my Flushing "must go list" in the future! read more
This place is 100% worth the hype. A little expensive for what it is but so so juicy and delicious! Came to flushing the other day and this was the one thing I knew I wanted to try. It reminds me of the pepper bun I had at raohe night market in Taiwan. I just wish there was a better way to eat this... giant spoon or something so that the soup inside doesn't go to waste. The chili oil and vinegar taste great with the meat too. Highly recommend trying this place if you're at new world mall read more
