This place is what New World Mall and food courts everywhere are all about: fast, mouthwatering, and affordable eats. I love my sheng jian baos and they are absolutely done right here. Plus, you get a free show out of it because all of the cooking is on display next to the register! The value is also amazing, because one order gets you a solid portion of meat and bun *and* the piping hot-ness of it forces you to pace yourself so you're not accidentally overeating 20 of them (I mean.. that's what I'd do if I weren't forced to slow down). Ambiance-wise, well, this is New World Mall's food court so be prepared to hustle for a table. This is not fine dining, people, but it is straight up good food worth going out of your way for. read more

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 read more

Liu Liu Sheng Jian is located in the basement food court of the New World Mall which is open 10am-10pm. $10 for credit accepted It was $10 for 6 dumplings or $12 for 8. Self service on the sauces. I think I read that these are Shanghainese soup dumplings, so I bit carefully to avoid splurting out the soup. I didn't think their skin was too thick, and I enjoyed the juicy dumplings with a touch of vinegar. read more

Fantastic sheng jian bao, almost thought I was in Asia for a second. You know it's good when it's the main place in the food court with a line. read more

Liu Liu Sheng Jian - Sheng jian bao - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

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

Liu Liu Sheng Jian - Pork dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

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. read more

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! 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

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 - Pork Pan Fried Soup Dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

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

Liu Liu Sheng Jian - Pan Fried Pork Buns - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

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

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

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

One of my favorite things to get in Flushing. They have other things, but most of people get the pan fried baos. The skin, filling delicious! Get yourself some vinegar and chilli oil by the cashier and you're all good. They contains hot soup inside so eat with caution. Service is quick and they take cards. 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

By far these are the best buns I've tried. They take these simple street food bun and make elevate it by making it squirt with delicious juice and flows out at first bite. The flavor, texture was fantastic. The buns are pillowy soft and very meaty inside. At first I thought it was a bit oily on the outside but it did not taste that way with each bite. If anything, make sure you add some of their hot sauce and vinegar and it will add more complex layer to your palate. As for enjoying them, definitely don't cheat yourself and bring it home. If you want the full squirting experience, eat it there. Pull a chair at any random table and enjoy. 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

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

Liu Liu Sheng Jian - Baos - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

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

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

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

Liu Liu Sheng Jian - Sheng jian bao - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

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

These are STILL as good as I remembered and I'm so happy that the insta hype hasn't changed their quality yet. It's actually even better than before! Still so damn juicy and now there's less of a wait even though the line looks pretty long. read more

Every time we come to flushing we get this now! I was introduce by Instagram and my sister. The Vinager soy sauce is so delicious.

So so so good! Probably one of the best things that Flushing has to offer. The buns are steaming, piping hot filled with delicious soup. The meat is perfect, not too fatty not too lean. The bottom of the bun is crispy.. just perfection. Service is fast. They have the buns cooking on 3 different large pans right in front of you. We come here at least once or twice a month. I do notice that sometimes the buns have less soup than other times. It probably depends on who is making them. Not a fan of their zhajiangmian - a little too much vinegar for me. No frills, cash only type of place. read more

Whenever I am craving for some sheng jian baos, this is the spot I always crave. The skin is nice and thin and has a nice amount of soup in them. It's not too salty and the pork is seasoned well. I love adding a bit of vinegar and chili crisp if I want to add a bit of extra flavor. I definitely make sure to get a large because I always share them but I can definitely eat them all myself. Service was, it's not the friendliest but not the worst either. Don't expect smiles or anything. It's more like order and move along. The orders are also quick because they have 3-4 pans going at once. On a weekend, there was a couple mins of a wait, but never long enough to make it feel annoying. Plus, the weekend gets pretty crowded and the line for this spot is always long compared to the other stands. I think their English is a bit limited for the workers taking the orders but there isn't a lot on the menu anyways. I also haven't tried their noodles but for majority of the time, I have only seen people order the buns. It has always been consistent the times I have been here and the price is reasonable. I have had it there and also to go and both ways were still really good. read more

The pan fried buns here are good, juicy on the inside and the bottom is slightly crispy. Probably about as good as you can get in the U.S.

Super crowded super juicy super hot super popular. That about sums up this food stall lol My friend took me here when we were going on our food tour and they said this was the best pan fried buns in the city and they weren't wrong. Be careful when you eat it because they come piping hot with juices. You eat it with the soy sauce and chili and sip the broth first. Proceed with caution because you'll sweat eating this on a hot hot day. I have zero regrets it was one to the best things I've ate on my trip to NY. read more

So great I can finally write a review for one of my favorite sheng jian bao places in the US! This is one of the most popular food stalls at New World Mall and for good reason too. When you arrive, you order at the front counter before you get the food immediately at the counter right next to it. We ordered 8 sheng jian baos for two and I wish we ordered more. Each bao comes piping hot with so much soup on the inside. Although the skin is on the thicker side, I love that the outside is more crispy with this almost burnt taste and texture to it while the inside is extremely soft. The meat filling is delicious and it didn't feel too heavy as most of the time when I eat this dish I need to have it with vinegar. Overall, one of my most recommended eats in New World Mall basement. read more

Liu Liu Sheng Jian - 8 生煎包 - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This place has the best sheng jian baos in NYC - no competition. I've never had a bad experience here and whenever I'm in flushing, I MUST stop by here. Their baos are crispy, fresh, HOT, and flavorful. The only time i've had comparable shenjianbaos were in Asia, even then, these might have been better. If you're at the food court, I'd say this should be your first stop. Everything else is optional, but this spot is a MUST. 10$ for 6, service is fast and food is indescribably delicious. They have chili sauce and vinegar as condiments, very no frills - but what more can you ask when you get to eat the best baos ever? read more

This is my favorite pan fried soup Dumpling place. The dumplings are fresh and flavorful, and cooked perfectly with the crispy bottom. They have the sauce station on the side with to-go containers for the vinegar or hot chili oil. BEWARE: do not go during "rush hour" (lunch time, dinner time). The line can get long and the wait ends up being 15-20 mins. Worth the wait but you will be starving on line. There are plenty of other stalls you can visit in between. The food court is quite busy during certain times but you can usually find a seat if you walk around a few times. It can get loud in there but its a pretty "regular food court" vibe. read more

These little morsels of flavor always hits whether its for breakfast, lunch, or shoving your face full of dumplings for dinner. I guess the cats out the bag on this place so it's finally okay to not gatekeep anymore. They've been a staple stop whenever I'm in the area because they're just that good even if you're not hungry. I've ate here plenty of times after a full on meal just because and not once regretted my gluttonous decision. Service has gotten a little slow due to its popularity recently but a few minute wait hasn't stopped me from coming back, maybe if it starts to push the 30min mark I might reconsider. Pro tip: to take your time with these or they will melt your face off if you're unfamiliar, as much as you want to scarf them down as fast as you can, have some self control or it'll shred your mouth like hot liquid magma. You're welcome. Stay fat mother suckers read more

I saw this place online and had been craving authentic sheng jian bao for a while. It's located in the mall, and is one of the stalls that actually accepts credit card. We got a total of 16 buns, and they all came fresh and hot. You can watch them cooking and spinning right in front of you! The flavor of the soup and pork was good, but the dough was a little thick imo. It also didn't have the super crispy bottom like I'd expect from the more authentic places. Nonetheless, it did satisfy the cravings. read more

Coming here is a total vibe. If you've ever been to China or Taiwan, this is the closest you'll get to the street food and night market scene in NY. Come hungry because this is probably not the only place you'll want to try here. Located in the basement of the New World Mall is a bustling food court of approx 30 hawkers. Liu Liu Sheng Jian is one of the more popular stalls, you can spot them pretty easily in one of the corners of the place. You'll see their pan friend pork buns cooking in rotating pans on display for all to see and smell. Orders are plucked directly from the pan so they are piping hot. The trick is to bite or poke a hole in the bun, drink some of the juice inside and then carefully bite. Be mindful of the hole, hot juices will come squirting out from there. Now why is this sounding dirty? Anyways, pan fried pork buns are a Shanghainese classic and they do it well! read more
