    1. Chives and Pork Fried Dumplings Plate
    Amanda D.

    I'm now retiring my fried dumpling lady card. This place is $4 for 8 delicious, fresh, FRIED, super tasty dumplings! They make their own special dumpling spicy sauce. See you on my next LES personal food tour! Great service as well! Take out spot. This here is two of the #1 ($2)

    Nothing beats, a dozen chive and a dozen cabbage, pork dumplings.

    I grew up down here. Given the endless supply of social media foodie influencers inundating us w Chinatown content prices everywhere have risen ten fold. Long gone are the days of 5 dumplings for a buck, but still in the current economy 4 dumplings for $2 dollars nowadays is a bargain. There far from the best, but they're also so far from the worst. Throw a little Sriracha, hot oil and soy sauce, wash it down with a Diet Coke and you are good to go. Tasty Dumpling in!

    My expectations were pretty low when I ordered the $2 dumplings but boy was I wrong! These might have been some of the best cheap dumplings I've ever had. Better than din tai Fung for sure. And a fraction of the price! Plus there's a cute park across the street to enjoy your delicious dumplings.

    If you're looking for cheap and quick dumplings definitely go here! This is your no frills dumpling spot for sure. Service is quick and simple, and they take cash only. I got the pork and chive and pork and cabbage fried and you get 4 pieces for $2! A steal. I also got the spicy cucumber and that was tasty as well.

    GONNA BE FRANK. Dumplings were mid. Kinda cold, stiff, and no integrity. BUT. It was cheap as hell. So for that, that's a W in my book. AND. The chili oil was super duper buss. So definitely some give or take. I think if I came here a couple more times, this could be a 5.

    The homemade chili oil makes this. The dumplings were tasty, but I wish it was a little hotter.

    Great deal AND delicious food. You can get 4 dumplings for a 2 dollars, which is incredible. I got the pork and chive dumplings and a pork pancake. Highly recommend the pancake as long as you eat it hot and fresh! It gets busy at lunch, but the service is fast and there are tables where you can sit. Doesn't really get too loud though. Definitely a quick spot to eat, and I saw lots of people doing take out. Highly recommend if you're in Chinatown!

    Tasty Dumpling offers Beijing-style dumplings as well as dim sum options, noodle soups, and cold dishes. They also have frozen dumplings that you can purchase to steam/pan-fry at home. We came here check their dumplings out, and tried: +Shrimp & Chive Boiled Dumplings - aka, #6; comes with 8 dumplings; super thick skin, and the filling was somewhat generous; was just not flavorful enough, even with the soy sauce mixture +Chive & Pork Fried Dumplings - aka #1; comes with 4 pieces; seems like the dumplings were dipped in some type of a marinade and then fried; it had more of a savory/sweet taste to it You can also choose to have these dumplings on a plate or in a soup. There are plenty of tables, and there seem to be a lot of call-ins for carry-outs. No dice, Tasty Dumpling. +Beijing-style dumplings +super thick skin

    Nowadays it's hard to find cheap and delicious dumplings like the good old days ( before inflation). So this spot was quite nostalgic. Even though the store does not put much effort in their interior, they do put a lot of effort in making the dumplings good! They do not skimp out on the fillings. It is seasoned perfectly and you see that juice? I can eat their dumplings all day! My only qualm is that the dumpling skin is slightly on the thicker end. And it's cash only. We ordered: Chives & Pork Fried Dumplings Boiled Dumplings

    Went around lunchtime on a weekday and went up to order. I got the fried chive and pork dumplings (4 for $2) and it was amazing -- had the perfect crispy bottom. I'm not normally a fan of chive (or scallions / other green onions varieties) but it was hidden in the pork well enough that I couldn't taste it. There is indoor seating but definitely a bit limited when there's a lot of customers. Great for a quick bite and a delicious dumpling!

    20. Spicy Cucumber and 7. Vegetable Boiled Dumpling Plate
    Stephanie N.

    Fast casual place that serves Chinese fare, I ordered veggie dumplings and they unfortunately did not have any flavor!!! Just cabbage and blah. I also ordered a spicy cucumber, which was also equally disappointing. For the prices this place is great but price, quality and taste almost never add up unfortunately.

    Melissa M.

    First stop on our good NYC tour. This is a small local shop / with big flavor!! I highly recommend stopping in for the dumplings!! So delicious, made fresh. Grab them to go and eat in the park across the street!

    9A. Scallion Pancake.
    Cindy Z.

    This spot is so popular for the cheap food, but I didn't think they are that special. I ordered the Chive & Pork Panfried Dumplings ($2 for 4pcs) and Scallion Pancake ($3). The food was ready in a few minutes as you can see the panfried dumplings already cooked and sitting on the wok, so they weren't the freshest. I also found the dumpling wrapper to be on the thick and chewy side, so good if that's your preference. I prefer my dumplings thin and crispy instead. The hot sauce they had was quite watered down as well, so didn't make the dumplings any better. While the dumplings were a letdown for me, I did really enjoy the scallion pancake. It's a huge piece cut in half, so it feels like you get two pieces. This was freshly cooked, so it was hot and crispy while being chewy on the inside. The scallion pancake had the perfect texture and flavor, so I'd only come back for this.

    As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

    Dinner for one at Buddakan turned into one of those rare experiences where the setting is nearly as…read morememorable as the food. Located within the historic Chelsea Market building--a former Nabisco factory where Oreo cookies were first produced--the restaurant feels theatrical in the best possible way. The soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting, and energetic atmosphere create a sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. It feels less like simply going out to dinner and more like stepping into a beautifully staged production. I started with a Botanist Gin Martini with a twist, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The surprise star of the evening was the new Cucumber Tiger Salad. The balance of flavors was exceptional: bright acidity, a pleasant touch of heat, and just enough mint to make each bite feel fresh and exciting. Every so often the mint would come through and suddenly all the flavors would click together in a way that made me immediately want another bite. This is a dish I would happily order again. Next came the Edamame Dumplings. They were delicate and comforting, especially when enjoyed with the accompanying broth. The broth adds depth and richness that elevates the entire dish. My only suggestion would be the slightest touch more salt, perhaps even a finishing sprinkle of black volcanic salt for both flavor and presentation. I also found myself wishing there were a bit more of that delicious broth because it contributes so much to the overall experience. For my entrée, I ordered the Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fish was rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the accompaniments were composed. The pickled cucumbers brought brightness, acidity, and crunch, while the black bean and eggplant relish delivered deep savory notes and unexpected complexity. I'm generally not an eggplant fan, but this relish was outstanding. The cucumbers and relish sit at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum, yet both somehow make the cod even better. Looking back, I think a glass of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the cod would have been the perfect pairing. I finished with the Miso Caramel Milk Bar, which was spectacular. Decadent, sweet, salty, and touched with just enough umami to keep every bite interesting. The chocolate crumble underneath added a wonderful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the creamy ice cream and luscious caramel sauce. Every component worked together perfectly, creating a dessert that was both indulgent and sophisticated. From start to finish, the meal felt polished, thoughtful, and memorable. Thank you!

We went family style for our dishes which worked very well.

I also tried the Blush cocktail which was similar to a lychee martini. I loved it and it was perfectly sweet. Overall it was on the pricey side once we split everything, but the vibes were great for a nice night out.

Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.
