Fu Fu Cafe

The original Fu Fu Cafe on the west end of the Dun Huang Plaza in Chinatown has satisfied late-night soup dumpling seekers for decades. Service is quick, if not slightly unforgiving, and food arrives faster than seems reasonably possible. Nothing at this combo Vietnamese-Chinese spot is mind-blowing, but rather satisfying, a little gust-busting, and reliably straightforward. All of which makes Fu Fu a solid spot to split a bunch of dumplings, rice dishes, or spicy hot pot with a big group after a long night out.
