Shanghai Asian Manor
I don't recall this restaurant (on 21 Mott Street) ever being discussed on Chowhound.
Any reactions or recommendations for particular dishes?
An acquaintance from Shanghai said it's his favorite restaurant on Chinatown. I went tonight and had an eccentric dinner, so I don't feel qualified to do a review. But I was pleased with much of what I ate and found the service exceptionally warm and friendly.

Dave, I'm not 100% sure, but I think a while back I got an order of fried tiny buns to try. This particular kind of 生煎包 buns should be pan fried +steam(same method for cooking potstickers) from a risen but still raw state, so that when done the buns are soft except for the slightly charred bottom layer, the filling juicy from the steam. Instead, I got a version that I suspect was from a frozen pack that was precooked, no oil. Too delicate. (Nice Green Bowl has a good version of this)
That's the only thing I've tried here though, for what it's worth.
