Super friendly service, hole in the wall dumpling restaurant. Pork chive pan fried dumplings are literally life. On a cold day the soups have magical healing properties. Oh and it’s super cheap.

#1, 2 & 22 (and 18 if you're super hungry). I haven't deviated from this order for more than 10 years since I've been coming to this delicious hole-in-the-wall Dumpling House in the LES. When Covid hit NYC in 2020 and shut down the city the place I missed most was here. Not only is the food yummy but it's cheap too. You can waddle outta here with a full belly (mine's Enormous and hard to fill) for under $20 (my super hungry order above is just $15).
The place is very small, only having 2 little tables, and then a short countertop against the wall that people can sit at, but it's not the place to go if you wanna stay for awhile. Please eat and leave to make room for the next folks as the place is Always busy.
Whether vegetarian or omnivore you can eat to your delight here as they have both meat and meatless dumplings, pancakes and soups. My fav are the chive and pork pan fried dumplings (10 for $4) and the chives pancakes (2 for $3). The secret is to get a container to mix your soy, sriracha and vinegar together to bathe your dumplings in.
The place is cash only so don't come empty handed. There's an ATM in the store but I hate paying the hefty extra ATM fees. No bathroom either but there's a fairly clean public one across the street at Seward Park, but it's not 24/7. I'm not sure what time the bathroom facility closes, but it's nice to eat over in the park watching a good volleyball game.
I gotta say I miss the older woman who I 'thought' owned the place. She's been gone for a couple years now. I asked the 'new' person who works the register and she said she's on 'vacation'. Hope it's not the permanent kind She always knew my order as soon as I walked in. I miss that. Although NYC is full of dumpling houses this is the place to be .

5 stars for the great chives & pork dumplings and the pancakes!
Be prepared for this place to have a line and have every seat occupied. The dumplings are delicious, my bf and I can each have our own orders, or we split the dumplings + add sesame chive pancakes w/ pork. Their beef noodles soup is delicioso. Tip your server, they work hard to keep people fed with good food. 👍🏽
Currently my favorite place to get dumplings (both frozen and hot). The dumpling skin is thicker here than at other places around the area, which is my preference.

One of the most affordable meals in NYC. Dumplings were hand made and bursting with flavor. 10 dumplings for $4 is an absolute steal.

what you sacrifice in flavor and taste and pretty much everything you gain 10 dumplings for 4$ and that to me is something to be cherished

Although they give a lot and it's inexpensive, I'm not happy with the flavor.

one of my favorite affordable dumpling spots in chinatown. I usually get the no.1 pan fried pork dumplings and sometimes the wonton soup!
