The one to order

The original egg roll, shrimp har gow and the "OG" pork bun

The line to expect: Weekend brunch waits run 30 to 60 minutes; put your name down and walk Mott Street. Beat it: weekdays at 11am.

Doyers Street's dim sum parlor since 1920, the oldest in New York, with dumplings made to order instead of off a cart.

Har gow (crystal shrimp dumplings)

Har gow (crystal shrimp dumplings)

1 hr 15 min · About 20 dumplings, 4 people. The dim sum test: a translucent, chewy wheat-starch wrapper around a snappy whole-shrimp filling. Hot water is the trick that makes the dough work.
