This place really surprised me. The dumplings are clearly handmade -- delicate wrappers, great fillings, and packed nicely so nothing sticks together. The zucchini & egg dumplings were excellent, and the beef with fungus paired perfectly with them. The spicy and sour fish pot was huge and very comforting, with lots of vegetables and tender fish. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully made. I'd definitely come back. read more

The first time I had Dumpling Xi was in Barcelona, and I've been thinking about it ever since. So when I found out there was a location in New York, I obviously had to relive the moment! The menus are noticeably different. The Barcelona location offers a wider variety, which I was hoping to see here as well. I ordered the boiled shrimp, fish roe, and pork dumplings. They were good and still very juicy, but they didn't quite match the flavor I remember from Barcelona. I also tried the spicy chicken leg combo. It was decent. The chicken was braised and tender, but overall a bit lacking in flavor. Service was great. The staff were friendly and efficient. That said, the overall experience didn't live up to what I had in Barcelona, which was a little disappointing. :( read more

Very affordable dumpling spot. Came on a saturday night, and there was no wait. The lotus shaped noodles were very unique and had a good peanut butter flavored sauce. We tried 3 different types of dumplings, and the favorite was definitely the corn and chicken ones. read more

Kind of amazing to be able to have authentic Chinese dumplings this late on a weeknight in New York. The dumplings are handmade, taste clean and light, and don't have that heavy MSG feel. If you're Chinese, you'll probably like it, but if not, you might find them a bit bland. read more

Popular place with fresh dumplings! We got the signature shrimp ones either one order fried and one steamed. They were very good and service was quick. The seaweed salad was fine. Not blown away so not 5 stars but it was nice and easy on a chilly day. read more

A bit surprised that they only have 4 types of dumplings on menu considering this is a dumpling specialist shop. I got the signature one with shrimp, roe and pork, it is okay - shrimp is decent but overall a bit dry, vinegar and chili oil are also not particularly flavorful. read more

Dumpling Xi - (Popular)Shrimp, Fish Roe, and Pork Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Lowkey spot for Chinese food that is very affordable and authentic. It's a popular Chinese chain (+800 locations) and first opened their locations in NYC. Their dumplings are northern influenced, and have a really chewy texture. We got the pork + corn dumplings and soy-marinated chicken leg. Dumplings were dough-y and juicy, super delicious. Chicken leg was extremely tender -- the meat practically fell of the bone and super juicy. The service is fast and there's basically no wait -- not a lot of people were there when we were during peak lunch hours. Great vibes inside too! read more

Came across Dumpling Xi, and decided to give it a go. To start, meals are super affordable here! Everything is ~$10-18 - nice for a quick and cheap meal! The only thing I'd say is that I think it is supposed to be partially self serve? I was kind of confused by how it's supposed to work - came in and a server told us to order via the QR code on the table, but then another server came and wanted to take our order. There were notes in the restaurant that some items were self serve and available at the front (I believe they were some additional sauces on top of the ones available at each table), so was a bit confused by the concept. To start, we got one of the mini hot pots to share - the Chicken Leg Combo Pot (comes with tofu skin, broccoli, and marinated egg). The chicken leg was SUPERR tender - literally comes right off the leg. At first, we asked for the knife, but after the server told us we didn't need one because of how tender it was, we ended up using our utensils. The chicken literally came off as I was taking it off the leg with my fork. I love how it also came with veggies (broccoli), and a full egg! The sauce was also savory and delicious - we ordered some rice which paired perfectly with the sauce leftover. The chicken leg was so good we ordered another chicken leg on the side (only ~$5!!) which was super tender as well. The dumplings were super affordable as well ($13/12 pieces of fried dumpling). They were interesting as I've never had corn in my dumplings, but were great as well! Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for a nice, quick, and affordable meal. read more

I had no idea this is a massively popular chain in China but I was super excited to try after seeing corn, shrimp, and pork dumplings on the menu! There's a variation of dumplings and most have shrimp but there is 2 options without (celery + pork and corn + pork). There are way more non fried options than fried but both times I got fried! The shrimp pork and chive fried option is so good and comes with about 12 dumplings for $15. They package to-go orders SO well - they have packaging to encase each individually dumpling and then an insulated bag as well. They include sauces and utensils. The shrimp tastes extremely fresh and the dumpling itself is juicy. When I dined in, they seemed to have a leaking issue from the ceiling but it didn't really detract from the experience other than having a few less tables. The fried pork and corn dumplings ($13 for 12) were delish!! The corn adds a hint of sweetness, and dine in you can mix your own sauce with soy sauce, chili oil, garlic paste, vinegar and sesame oil. We also got the beef and wood ears - portion was small for $7 but flavor and texture was fresh and good. They're really hot once you get them so wait for them to cool. Overall I get the hype and will be back! read more

Great spot for fresh dumplings! Food (5/5): Dumplings were excellent and freshly made on the spot. Value (5/5): Very affordable given the quality. Service (4/5): Waited about 20 minutes on a busy Saturday, but staff were apologetic and attentive. read more

A couple of us wanted to try some soup dumplings. We stumbled upon Dumpling Xi. We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't very crowded. There were a few groups dining in. We sat ourselves. The ordering was different--we had to scan a QR code to place orders. We decided to order three different items and share. I ordered the shrimp with chives and egg dumplings, while one ordered the celery and pork dumplings and someone else ordered the beef and vegetable soup pot with pinto bean broth. Then we ordered rice and beef mixed with mushrooms. The soup pot was the winner. It was so flavorful and I mixed some chili oil with the broth. The celery and pork dumplings were also a big hit with our table. The beef with mushrooms tasted good to me but my friend whose Chinese was not impressed. The service was good, very attentive. I would like to try some of the other soup pot dishes. read more

Tried this place on a whim. Overall, I'd recommend it! We ordered the edamame, beef and onion steamed dumplings ($14.99/20 pieces on one plate) and beef and onion fried snowflake dumplings ($8.99/6 pieces on one plate). The edamame was surprisingly delicious- just the right amount of salt as well as crunch to the bite. The steamed dumplings were what I'd expect: firm skin with some juice on the inside. Lastly, the fried snowflake dumplings (named for their snowflake appearance if I had to guess?) were not too heavy despite their fried nature. Because our order surpassed $25, we received a one-time promotional offer of free fruit tea. I opted for Lychee Rose and cannot rave enough about its flowery yet sweet taste. If you're in the area, I'd recommend dropping by! read more

These dumplings are delicious! They are MADE TO ORDER. And their ingredients are made fresh every day! (Unlike some other unnamed dumpling places.). And you can TASTE the difference. Limited menu but my favorites are the 1) zucchini egg 2) shrimp and chives (avail in-store only) 3) celery pork. They also have a pork neck appetizer for like $6 that is so delicious. The sauce bar has finely grated garlic which is a nice touch. The only slight minus is I wish they had even one actual veggie dish (salad or boiled bok choy or something) not just those green seaweed salads. I will safely say - other than dumplings made by my mom, by hand, at home, these are the best dumplings I ever had. Place is really clean and service is prompt. Food comes out fast too! They told me they have a pot of boiling water on standby to streamline the cooking. Pescatarian friendly! read more

Dumpling Xi - The seating area - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Bestie and I came here for the first time tonight because we were curious about this Mainland china chain transplant. We were pleasantly surpised by the richly flavored filling. We got the dumpling xi, dumpling sanxian and cold lotus shaped noodles. Other reviews talk about how awesome the fish roe is and don't get me wrong, it is truly awesome, but let me take a minute to talk about the dumpling dough. This dough is made fresh daily and from three different types of dough. Dumplings are cooked al dente and the chew is just perfect - a little bit of that mochi bounce without being too squishy or soggy. Simon was our server and a major sweetie who hooked us up with these cutie fridge magnets! read more

Stumbled upon this because of my friend and we decided to check it out. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. All the dishes were clean and well looked after. The staff make sure we're enjoying ourselves and mark down our orders through a checklist. Food didn't take too long since it wasn't busy, but we chose a spicy & sour broth with fish fillet. Plus a small bowl of rice and pork dumplings. I was pleasantly impressed with the spicy & sour soup, it had such good flavor! The soup wasn't too spicy but the sour flavor reminded me of lime, which I'm personally accustomed to. I loved the veggies and the bit of noodles it had. I definitely would've loved more noodles. Dumplings were freshly made and hot, but it was just as delicious. This place would be so nice to experience in the fall and winter time, I would love to come back and try their chicken broth soup! read more

Good Restaurant，I really enjoyed my visit to Xijiade Dumpling Restaurant. The dumplings are delicious, with thin skins and rich fillings that taste very fresh. My favorite part is how juicy and flavorful each bite is, just like homemade dumplings. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the staff are polite and welcoming, which makes the dining experience even better. I also tried some side dishes, and they were tasty as well. Overall, Xijiade is a great place for anyone who loves authentic dumplings. I will definitely come back again and recommend it to my friends. read more

The ambiance is very nice + spacious ! I'm very disappointed that the menu has changed, you can no longer get 12 fried dumplings as one order which was a great deal when they first opened. Now you have the option to place 2 orders of fried dumplings which is more costly ! I have suggested most customers like to have a fried noodle order with their fried dumplings. Tho, they do suggest their broth noodles which I have tried several version and not very fond of the taste. For these reasons I will not rate my experience. Since this is a fairly new restuarant, I believe in supporting new local businesses. Until they start listening to their customer base recommendations, there are other dumpling restaurants in our neighborhood. The customer service has not wow us. read more

Finally opened in NYC. Looking forward to it for a long time. Very good dumplings always have the same taste.
