About King Dumplings

King Dumplings is a small, cash-only restaurant in Chinatown known for its delicious and affordable food. This no-frills eatery has a simple atmosphere and can seat about 10 people. It is best known for its pan-fried Pork & Chive dumplings, priced at a mere $4.50 for 10 pieces. The menu features a variety of dumplings, including the popular Peking Duck-stuffed scallion pancakes. The food is cooked quickly and served promptly, making it a great spot for a quick meal. The dumplings are well-filled with a savory pork and chives center and have a thin, nicely crisped wrapper. Visitors praise the juicy filling and flavorful pan-fried buns (sheng jian bao), which are considered some of the best in New York, rivaling those in Shanghai. While the restaurant is small and can get crowded, there are limited seats inside, with nearby tables on the Allen Street mall available when the weather is nice. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient, and despite often having a line on weekends, many find the wait worthwhile for the incredibly good value and tasty dumplings that leave them wanting to return.
