damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at PanBao66 yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
PanBao66 sits in the bustling basement food court of Flushing's New World Mall, and Tasting Table describes 'a crowd of hungry patrons' regularly gathered around the pan-fried soup-bun stall. Customer reviews cited in the piece note the line 'can span 15-20 minutes on a good day,' with waits stretching longer during peak mealtimes given the stall's popularity.
The draw is the stall's Shanghainese sheng jian bao, sold in six- or eight-dumpling plates, alongside noodle and duck dishes; Tasting Table notes the stall is cash-only, which can slow the line further at busy lunch and dinner hours in the crowded food court.
