Shan Dong is famous for its huge dumplings, chewy noodles, and breads. All are made on the premises. Though Shan Dong is busiest at lunch, stop by for a Friday night dinner and you'll see the staff hand-rolling breads for its Saturday northern Chinese-style dim sum. The pork and leek dumplings are the best. You can also buy them frozen to make at home ($13-15 per bag).
