Fresh, sumptuous, dumplings for a great price. The accept card and cash.. as far as ambiance.. it's kinda smelly sometimes. The Michel's are open so what you can see is clean. Bad press or something but smells stinky

Love the chicken pan fried dumplings , chicken mushroom pie. Steam chicken dumplings tasted good too but the dough was a little thick. Place looked clean and they have 2 ladies making dumplings right on the spot. There were a couple of table for customs to sit too. I will definitely come back.

Yes!!! If you're looking for a hole in the wall then this is one of them. They have a simple interior with Chinese songs (sometimes interesting songs lol) but not too loud. Service is similar to food court where food would be ready for pick up at the register to bring to your table. They have some pretty decent food but my go to is their fish dumplings. Super aromatic, crunchy outside with a nice bouncy chew in the middle from the fish paste. Each one is super juicy as well; so hard to keep the juice from spilling out. Recommend to eat there for best experience. They do also sell frozen dumplings for you to cook at home as an option as well! But definitely get the fish dumplings when you go!!!

Food (4/5): Had the fried and steamed dumplings. In terms of value this place is amazing. You get so much food for a great price. The quality of the dumplings were also quite good. I preferred the steamed ones as the texture was good and it's likely healthier. Service (3/5): Don't expect top notch friendly service but the food comes out fast and they have a nice tablet system. Ambiance (4/5): Reasonably spacious and modern looking restaurant. Overall quite clean. Could be better decorated as it seemed like a relatively bare bones venue.

Old Captain Dumpling boasts a beautiful and clean decor, setting the stage for an enjoyable dining experience at a dumpling shop. The service was satisfactory and friendly, with the option to order from the cashier if paying cash, or from the kiosk otherwise. I opted for the steamed pork, shrimp, and chive dumpling, as well as the pan-fried lamb and onion dumpling. The former was plump and bursting with flavor, while the latter was delightfully crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Although the prices were slightly higher than the local area, the quality of the dumplings and the inviting decor of the shop justifies the cost.

They have many varieties of dumplings. Good taste and very affordable price. Dumplings are made fresh. Highly recommend!

Lots of interesting dumplings here, with some unique combinations of stuffings and skins. I've never had fish paste as a filling in a dumpling. It almost looks like a ravioli! You can see the workers making hundreds of dumplings by hand. I'm just glad they have seating indoors. Drinks are $1.

I finally had the pleasure to stop by and try their famous fish dumplings that my parents had been raving about. This little hole in the wall serves a variety of steamed and fried dumplings, wonton, patties, and noodle soups - and the portions are huge. Shared an ordered of fried fish dumplings. Steamed shrimp w cabbage dumplings and a chicken w mushroom patty w my girl. Now she's a picky eater, but today she ate everything on her plate. As soon as you walk in, there's a station where you see someone making dumplings from scratch. There's about 6 tables for dine in. You can either order from a kiosk or from the cashier lady, which there is another station where someone is making dumplings and wonton. Also ordered a bag of 50pc frozen fish dumplings for $30 to-go so I can enjoy at home. Trust me. These dumplings are HUGE. so it's def worth the price you pay. I was too bz stuffing my face, forgot to take more pics. - Next time tho! Def recommend!

202307Very delicious! The fried dumplings are not the kind that people from all over the world gather. The dumpling skin and frying feel more like a leek box. I eat the chicken flavor and it is very juicy! ! ! And it was so big that I was full after eating only a few. The rest was all takeaway. It was still delicious even if I fried it when I got home.

Filling order of fish dumplings! Filling is super tender and great with some vinegar and white pepper. Service was really nice and didn’t have to wait long for the order at all.

The dumplings definitely contained a lot of MSG and chicken essence, which made me thirsty all afternoon. I get thirsty whenever I eat too much MSG. . .The taste must be good because of the chicken essence.The owner was very considerate and provided vinegar and side dishes

Came here twice. The fish dumplings were good the first time, but stellar the second. The skin is very chewy, and the fish is very fluffy and juicy!

Very delicious and tastes very good! It's been the same taste for years. Some people are not used to it, but don’t worry, the quality is absolutely outstanding. I often drive here from Brooklyn to eat haha?
