Kung Fu Little Steamed Buns Ramen

Set among the neon lights of the Theater District, this gem is always packed. Everyone is here for the on-point cooking, though the friendly staff and an endearing, cartoon-style mural featuring diners enjoying the food are a close second. Hand-pulled and hand-cut noodles are stir-fried with mouthwatering accompaniments, while the dumpling variety is so great it’s almost impossible to pick. Herb-spiked pork and shrimp wonton soup is well worth the 20-minute wait, allowing diners plenty of time to devour pan-fried Peking duck bundles, scallion pancakes stuffed with sliced beef or even steamed buns full of mushroom.
