I'm always on the lookout for Chinese steam tray point & pick over rice outside of Chinatown. Just had mine down here today over in the Flatiron D. Sweet find, Zach.

Sushi Osaka seems to be in another once of those cursed spots in that neighborhood. It used to be L&L Hawaiian, and it might have been another sushi place at one time. I forget. I thought their sushi was decent and they were always busy at lunch, but maybe that's not the case anymore.

I thoguht they had roast pig, but it was jsut roast chicken that resembled roast pig. I settled for that and the roast pork. I guess it balances out the fatty/lean combo. Also got a fried ??chicken?? leg. This was no perdue leg from the super market but was pretty tasty. I am also a pretty big fan of the bok choi they serve at Ying Du. I think they cook it in chicken stock, minced garlic and maybe white rice wine. although I dont speak mandarin or cantonese to have that long of a conversation to find out :) the two meat combo, veg and rice plus the big ??chicken?? leg was $6.50 instead of the normal $4.50 or $5.00. be sure to ask for some of the roast pork pan drippings over the rice first. had ying du for lunch today.

Always passed on that soup after the first time. If the “soup” tasted like hot dishwater then it is definitely Rong Bao. Always passed on that soup after the first time.

Though, back then it was a little less than $5 for my meal. I'll have to check it out...soon. I used to head over to Rong Bao frequently until they closed.
