I unfortunately have to give a 3 star for this place and I rarely post reviews that are not positive. Pretty overpriced ($8 for a tiny pork guabao, $12 for 4 hargow (even tim ho wan is only charging 7.75 :o). And they all lack flavors, especially the pork dumplings :( I really wanted to support a neighborhood store but this is a disappointment.

Best har gow (shrimp dumplings) I've ever had! They're huge, made with fresh, clean, and quality ingredients, and come in a dumpling skirt! Really something else. I'd come here just for that. My husband loves their dry aged beef dumplings. Pretty unique. Even though they're small, they are dense and packed! They're surprisingly quite heavy to pick up with your chopsticks. The Sichuan cucumber salad was packed with flavor! I don't like bean sprouts but they changed my mind! Tried their juicy pork dumplings and they were not kidding. One bite and juice was getting everywhere, and I'm not a messy eater. Also got their strawberry bubble tea...yummm. Everything is so delicious, made fresh to order, and served piping hot!! Love that they play 90s Hong Kong music too and serve their dimsum in 90s dimsum paper plates. Super nostalgic for me. They also play videos on random traditional Chinese cuisine, which is interesting to watch.

I’m shocked that Chinese people could serve these dumplings with a straight face. These are the same gluey, doughy, wildly inauthentic dumplings that you get in a suburban Chinese takeaway joint 400 miles from here. Ask yourself: why should I eat these in Brooklyn? Answer: DON’T.
东风, I’m sorry. These are awful. You should be embarrassed.

I'd call this place good not great. Have been wanting to go here for years, but somehow never got around to it until today. Maybe it used to be better? We love dumplings and there's been so much hype about theirs but we were kind of disappointed. We had the fried pork ones. Really just a notch better than standard Chinese take out ones imo - and a whole lot smaller. Dough was kind of tough. We expected a really flavorful filling, with nice chunks of chives and a good sear on the outside but these weren't like that at all: just kind of bland and pale with no special flavors. The Deluxe Wonton Soup was tasty but not all that special either. The slab of pork belly in it was quite yummy, though. The sticky ribs are nice and so are the people working in the Park Slope location. Wish I felt more inclined to return.

East Wind is, at best, an average spot—not much to get excited about. The food feels no different than your typical takeout, and the flavors seem tailored to a Western palate rather than authentic Chinese cuisine. For anyone familiar with traditional Chinese food, this probably isn’t the place to satisfy that craving.
In terms of value, East Wind feels overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. While I understand rent is high in the area, it doesn’t quite justify the cost for what you get. I was expecting a lot more based on the reviews I read, but this visit reminded me that magazine features and wall plaques don’t always guarantee quality. There are definitely better options nearby if you're looking for more authentic or flavorful Asian cuisine.

I’ve been going for years . Found this place as a door dasher and it’s become my go to spot for dumplings. From the smaller space where you can watch the older woman wrap every dumpling by hand. the ribs are crispy and just enough sauce with sticky rice the dumplings are just juicy with a little crisp spilling over with flavor.

Can’t wait to come back to this area! This will be my go to spot for a quick bite. The food was very delicious and fresh The portion size were really good. Ribs were fire and you get a nice amount. Pork dumplings were ok and the cucumbers salad was really good.
I love a short menu with not too many items. Makes making a decisions that much easier. Now I feel like I can go back and actually try everything on the menu!

I would consider this a Chinese bistro of sorts, not exactly Asian, but certainly not American. They definitely take their own take on every dish that they prepare I specifically like the Har gow, which I think might be my favorite I’ve ever eaten (shrimp dumplings). Their mains in the rest of the food is delicious, but doesn’t it really live up to the standards of their signature dish the Har gow. I also tried the ribs as an entrée, it was cooked pretty unevenly, some of the pieces were absolutely perfect while somewhere dry.
