Sanmiwago
980 6th Ave, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Sanmiwago is a cozy Taiwanese spot tucked away with just nine tables, where the potstickers are genuinely exceptional and the taro milk tea hits with a delicate subtlety that tea lovers appreciate. Beyond the excellent traditional drinks and light food, it strikes that rare balance of being both quick enough for a grab-and-go matcha or leisurely enough for a proper sit-down meal with flavorful, affordable dishes and genuinely friendly service.”

Been here twice in the last 4-5 years or so when I have been in NYC. The very best 鍋貼 (potstickers) I have had other than when I lived in 員林市 in 台灣 (Taiwan). Honestly haven't tried anything else but why bother?
Food was delicious. I had 2 meals and both were sizable and flavorful. Everything was great but maybe 9 tables total, so a smaller venue. No lines out the door but busy. I will definitely return if I'm ever close. Also open till 2am Mon-Sun
General Tso’s chicken was delicious. It has a spice symbol next to it, but its probably a 1/10 on spiciness, which is perfect for me. Affordable pricing, friendly service, and tables to sit down at.
The taro milk tea is subtle, not very strong, but the tapioca was fresh and perfect. Scallion pancake was very thin and crispy, but super overpriced for what it was. Tasty, but I'd skip it next time. The dumplings are great. Very juicy and with a decent amount of meat. Could be more, but the flavor was outstanding. I will definitely be back to try more.
First time here and the food was very flavorful. The downside was both meats were a bit chewy but I would definitely comeback to try more things on the menu! Also tried the herbal tea and I thought it was good, just not very sweet. My friend enjoyed it a lot though!
