Dishes to know on this menu

Xiao long bao: Shanghai-style "soup dumplings": a thin pleated wrapper around seasoned pork and a cube of gelatinized stock that melts into hot broth as it steams. Eat them from a spoon: bite a corner, sip the soup, then finish the dumpling with a little black vinegar and ginger. On this menu as: Iberico Pork Soup Dumplings.
Bao: Soft, slightly sweet steamed yeast buns. Filled versions (baozi) hold barbecued pork (char siu bao), vegetables, custard or red bean; baked char siu bao has a glossy golden crust instead. Unfilled folded buns (gua bao, "lotus leaf buns") come with braised pork belly or Peking duck to stuff at the table. On this menu as: Char Siu Bao.
Lo mein: Soft, thick egg noodles boiled and then tossed, not fried, with sauce, vegetables and a protein. Where chow mein is about crispness, lo mein is about slippery, sauce-coated noodles. On this menu as: Spicy Lobster Lo Mein.
Char siu: Cantonese barbecued pork: strips of shoulder or belly marinated in hoisin, soy, rice wine and five-spice, glazed with honey or maltose and roasted until the edges char and lacquer red. Sliced over rice or noodles, folded into buns, or hung in the window of a siu mei shop with roast goose and soy sauce chicken. On this menu as: Char Siu Bao.
Orange chicken: Fried chicken (or crispy beef) in a sticky citrus glaze. Sichuan "orange-peel" (chen pi) beef uses dried tangerine peel for a bitter-aromatic edge; the American fast-casual version is sweeter and uses orange juice and zest. On this menu as: Orange Chicken.
Egg roll: A fried cylinder of cabbage, pork or shrimp in a thick, blistered wheat wrapper: the American egg roll. Spring rolls are the slimmer Cantonese original with a thin, smooth, shatteringly crisp skin; fresh (unfried) spring rolls are Vietnamese, not Chinese. On this menu as: Wagyu Egg Rolls.
