Of all the cheesesteaks I’ve had in Philadelphia, including major tourist destinations such as Geno’s and Jim’s, and under the radar sandwich shops like Woodrow’s on South Street, the Cheesesteak Bao at Bing Bing Dim Sum is one of the best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia. In fact, they don’t carry any heat at all. It’s filled with Cooper Sharp American cheese, long hots, and “wit” onions. The Cheesesteak Bao at Bing Bing Dim Sum is an Asian twist on the famed Philadelphia Cheesesteak. Their soup dumplings are to die for as well. Some of their popular dishes include the Caterpillar Bread at Bing Bing Dim Sum and the Pastrami Bao at CHeU Fishtown. They all have traditional Asian cuisine with a Jewish twist. The restaurant has a mix of fun dishes and dim sum such as caterpillar bread. CHeU Noodle Bar in Washington Square West and CHeU Fishtown and nunu bar in Fishtown are their sister restaurants. Bing Bing Dim Sum serves Asian dishes with some subtle Jewish influences.

Soup Dumplings (Infatuation) Caterpillar Bread (Infatuation) Below are some embedded urls to pictures in the Infatuation’s article on Bing Bing. The lighting at the bar at Bing Bing was not great and so my pictures did not come out well. The bun bread and the stuffing were delicious. style finely shredded or pulled pork, cooked in a Chinese style BBQ sauce. Instead of cut pieces of pork that fill a traditional Chinese BBQ pork bun, the Caterpillar Bread filling was a Southern U.S. It appears that they make a long baked loaf of fluffy Chinese style bread stuffed with BBQ pork, and then cut slices off the loaf for each serving. I also tried the Caterpillar Bread which was essentially an open ended baked BBQ pork bun. I almost, almost, forgive them for charging $10 for only four of these dumplings. The dipping sauce was also really good, usually I find the traditional black vinegar based sauce to be sharp and acrid, but at Bing Bing the vinegar sauce is smoothed and mellowed. They packed a lot of unctuous soup into these dumplings and the pork filling was delicious, savory and slightly sweet. They were cooked perfectly, which you rarely see in the U.S., so the wrappers maintained their integrity and kept the soup contained. However, the pork soup dumpling were among the best I have had in a long time. The filling was a wad of overcooked greens with a slightly bitter cabbage flavor. The Dumplings: The Scarlet Dumplings, which are filled with Swiss shard, tofu and crispy garlic, were way over cooked. Overall the prices at Bing Bing seemed high for what they served. The eggplant mapo tofu was solidly tasty, but not worth the $16 they charge for it.
The Dan Dan Noodles was great veganized, with shiitake mushroom pieces filling in for the traditional pork, and perfect al dente springy chewy noodles. The menu includes a handful of vegan items and they are willing to veganize some of the other items. Bing Bing Dim Sum is a hipster Chinese-fusion restaurant in South Philadelphia with a limited small plate menu that does not really rise to the title of Dim Sum.
