Need Advice. Signed, Bingless in Manhattan

By NYC Nosh   Nov 29, 2006

There may be more than seventy food items on Roll and Dough’s menu–every single song from the K-Tel Greatest Hits Collection of Chinese (American) Cooking is here, from General Tso’s chicken to pork spare ribs, but nearly half of those items are completely irrelevant. The true story of this newish shop, a sibling of legendary Flushing bakery Unique Pastry, is simple: it’s all about the bings. Shao bings, more precisely, are sesame-encrusted, soft pan-fried buns that are filled with either sweet or savory ingredients. Bings are, in practically every respect, kindred spirits of the Japanese yakimochi–in fact, apart from the use of rice flour and dry-roasting in the Japanese version, they are the same dish. But don’t underestimate the differences in taste and texture between a bing and a yakimochi. Bings have a soft, very light exterior dough with a crisp and nutty crust– any chewiness in a bing comes from its filling, whereas a yakimochi is engineered to be chewy. FULL REVIEW

Roll & Dough

By Gotham Gal   Sep 27, 2006

What a hilarious name for a Chinese restaurant. Roll & Dough opened recently on West 3rd just East of 6th Avenue.  Total NYU neighborhood.  Perfect location.  They serve inexpensive dumplings, buns and bings and also a few classic dishes and soups.  But their main thing is the buns, dumplings and bings.  You can buy them to go, to stay or frozen.  FULL REVIEW

Lunch @ Roll & Dough

By The Wandering Eater   Sep 23, 2006

For lunch, I traveled uptown (sort of) to the West Village to my previous posts that I would visit the Bing Lady. The establishment's actual name is Roll & Dough, located at W3rd St just off 6th Ave. This place is much raved about in the NY Times and my favorite food forum, Chowhound, so it pretty much got me curious if it's that good. As it turns out, it didn't come out too well: their chicken bun was quite bland and the pork and chive bing is good. FULL REVIEW

Roll and Dough, 260 methillian stars

By AugieLand   Sep 07, 2006

Once you give up nationally franchised restaurants you lose a couple of things. You probably won’t have a general opinion of honey mustard, or frozen mudslides any more. You also lose strange sugary temple headaches from scarfing strange amalgams of salt, fat, and sugar while in motion. Sadly, also lost is the ability to walk into a place and grab a small, round easily handled food that combines salty, sweet, and savory in a manner that drives you to eat two to three times more than you should from two hands let alone one while walking or driving, with no more commitment required on your part than an exchange that takes a little less than one total minute and costs a little less than two total dollars. That is, before the bing store opened. FULL REVIEW

Roll and Dough

By Ganjin Girl's Guide to Chinatown   Sep 06, 2006

Hidden throughout Flushing Chinatown are many tiny gems - small shoppes serving cheap, tasty edibles - items not readily available in the tourist heavy haunts of Manhattan.  One of the best was Unique Pastry, a miniscule shoppe offering $1.50 steamed buns, and bings (flattened fried buns, coated with sesame seeds and stuffed with a variety of fillings.)  In the past few years, the snacks have become famous in certain foodie circles, earning the owner of the shoppe (Elizabeth Ting) the name of Bing Lady.

How to get change for $2, and lunch, in NYC, and in less than 10 minutes, too

By Meg's Food & Wine Page   Aug 31, 2006

Be riding a train, any train, that stops at W 4th St.  Since you are on a time budget, (15 extra minutes between appointments is usually my cushion) it will help to be in one of the front cars if heading downtown. FULL REVIEW
