These Thai-style dumplings at Arharn Thai in Astoria are surprisingly the best tasting shumai I’ve had! With ground chicken, shrimp, crabmeat, water chestnut, bamboo shoot, scallion and mushroom wrapped in wonton skin and topped with grilled garlic, they’re refreshingly delicious! The water chestnut gives it a slight crunch softened by the mix of other ingredients. It’s not heavy or greasy but rather pure and fresh, and it’s the perfect bite-sized appetizer to start your meal on a great note!
