    Signature Shrimp, Chives, and Eggs
    Smeeth W.

    They have very simple menu, just dumplings and hot pots. We ordered one for each and their dumplings are excellent, as I have never ate any zucchini dumplings before. You order from your phone and foods are ready fast.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Edamame
    Jenn T.

    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!

    Shrimp, fish roe, and pork dumplings were so juicy and delicious! Lovely textures. Great service. Clean bathrooms.

    Dumplings have smooth skin. My favorite filling was dumpling xi!!! It has multiple flavors in it. Store was clean and service was attentive and fast. They make things fresh

    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!

    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!

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen ($20), and Spicy shrimp ($23) is what we got. Very flavorful and good portion size. Highly recommended if you enjoy a hot bowl of Ramen!

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

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 hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

For my combo, I got a Sukiyaki Beef onigiri, which was my fave one, and a Salmon onigiri, which was fine, just a bit plainer than I'd like. But, I like that they added furikake seasoning throughout it to add flavor. I didn't care much for their sides - the egg was too sweet for my liking and the pickled carrots were too soft. I ordered an addtl Kinko (mushroom) onigiri bc I was quite hungry and it was alright. Def a lighter taste. Overall, a decent spot for a solid, reliable, good bite!
