Tasting Table

"These floppy-skinned wontons are stuffed with pork and Chinese greens, then adorned with scallions, tangy preserved vegetables and a smoky chile oil that brings more flavor than heat to the dish. One bite, and you'll see what all the fuss is about."

Liza de Guia

"At the counter, order the popular #6 ‘Wonton w/Hot Sauce’ topped with pickled ginger, scallions & chili pepper and eat at one of the small tables."

Thrillist

"The spot is pretty bare bones, but the chili oil wontons draw lines every weekend."

Robin Raisfeld

"The Absolute Best Dumplings in New York: White Bear - Everything you could ask for in a dumpling — silky and tender with a springy nugget of pork inside. The signature condiment treatment, a barrage of chile oil, ground chile, chives, and pickled mustard greens, is so good you begin to wonder whether sluicing this exceptional stuff over anything, even an old shoe, would make it taste great."

Bao Ong

"Despite more than 30 items on the menu, it’s the only dish everyone seems to order—and for good reason."

Scott Lynch

"The 15 Best Dumpling Spots In NYC: White Bear - The Wontons with Hot Sauce, a.k.a "Number 6," is pretty much a perfect plate of food, a wild ride of textures (crisp, slippery, chewy) and flavors (spicy, tangy, funky) that you start craving more of the minute you're done. A true NYC treasure."

C.B. Cebulski

"They make some of the best homemade wontons you’ll ever eat in this side of the Pacific."

Ricky Ly

"Behold the white bear dumplings. Check it out if you’re ever in Flushing, I know I will again."

Robyn Lee

"They were really good...for reasons...I cannot explain. And by that, I mean I forgot. All I know is that in the heat of the moment, they were freakin' awesome."

Max Falkowitz

"Perhaps the most notorious dumplings in Flushing, and arguably still the best. Beneath all the condiments you'll find simple dumplings made well: mild meat, fragrant herbs, and feathery wonton skin that picks up just enough chili oil with each bite."
