Fried Dumpling

You may ask why I gave the service such a low score and the establishment such a high score, so let me explain. It is part of the charm of this restaurant. It is very small inside and the idea is to get in, get your food, and get out. Don't follow those rules and get chastised. Don't take your whole group inside only those who are ordering or if a large order and you need help carrying bring one along with you. However, the dumplings are really indescribable in words. I am not personally a dumplings fan, but my family is so we stopped to get some. I tried one for the experience and they were very delicious. In hindsight I wish I had got a larger order. Oh, and by the way have an idea of how many you need before you enter. There really isn't much debate about what to get other than dumplings and so the question really comes down to how many. Get some extra because you will not want to stop eating them. Take a stroll to the park about half a block away and enjoy.

This was hands-down, some of the best food I had in New York City lol I didn’t have enough cash to go to Sit down restaurant as I did not know, most of the places were cash. Only, I found this little gem, From the screaming lady when she was taking my order to the actual food I got this was probably the most authentic and best experience. I’ve had in Chinatown in New York City lol. 13 dumplings for $5, and a can of soda for a couple more $, can’t go wrong

Want a quick snack or cheap meal? This is the place! The prices have been nearly the same since the beginning of time. In college I used to come by for lunch… 10 dumplings for $2 ($2.50 nowadays)!! Be sure to check the freezer in the back for frozen dumplings to take home; 30 for $6! The woman running the place is hilarious and really sweet when she recognizes you as a regular. The place is tiny, so expect to take your food to-go. Occasionally there is standing room at the counter.

im sure we just came on an off day, but our dumplings were not crispy at all. they were slimy and stuck together. clearly from other reviews and pictures, this is not normal, but was very disappointing as we leave nyc soon. the flavor was still great and we finished them and i would definitely come back if i was in the area in hopes of a better experience. $5 for 13 is a great deal!
