Kai Feng Fu Dumpling House

On my NY trip I was on the hunt for some really good dumplings and since this place had pretty good reviews I decided to give it a try. First one thing i really liked was the prices. They only charge $5 and the size of the dumplings were huge, i want able to finish them and they tasted really good. If you don't allow the looks of this place to stop you I'd definitely recommend giving them a try.

First off, this place is literally a hole-in-the-wall. But it's surprisingly good. I ordered the hot and sour soup, pork dumplings with leeks, pan fried dumplings with pork, and scallion pancakes. The soup was one of the best I've ever had and I've had a lot of hot and sour soup. The heat was slightly lacking, but I fixed that with the chili oil sitting on the table. Both dumplings were tasty with the right balance of bun and meat. They are slightly bland so be aware you should use the soy and vinegar provided. The scallion Pancakes were a bit limp. I normally like them a little more crisp. They were also a bit thicker than I'd like, but that's a personal preference. I'm really glad I found this spot while running errands. Definitely coming back to try other items.

For Quick Snack with multiple options, this is your spot! A little hole in the wall, but those are always the best hidden gems. I got the house special dumplings, with an order of Roast pork Buns to go! Buns were amazing, and dumplings were good. THE REAL kicker was it was less than $5 for some satisfying snacks. I'd be back next time I'm wandering around the neighborhood for some good eats.
