A small storefront with baos and prepared foods. We walked by this place a few times and wondered what the fuss was about and thus we were roped in. The prices are cheaper than in the regular restaurants and everything seems pretty fresh. The pork baos were tasty and moist inside. Try it out if you're in the area and looking for some good quick bites! read more

Fried Chinese dumplings and snacks served by the sweetheart of the block- a very pleasant woman who gave an extra treat with each order. The place is an open air shop with a small covering for the rain you you just step right up. The lighting caught my eye and I doubled back like wait what's that on my way to the train which is about a block away. The prices were like 8 for $4 and I believe they had items for $2.50. I opted for the scallion pancake and some other random treats they were not to salty but oily and hit thee spot. 5/5 I highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for cheap eats in NYC, this is the spot. They have Chinese buns, scallion pancake, lamb burger, spring rolls, sausage on a stick, sesame balls and drumroll* a giant leek dumpling..it's delicious. I devoured it and was full after. It has leeks, tofu and clear noodles inside. The storefront is open to the street, so you walk up grab and go. Easy for a quick snack. They take both card and cash so no need to run to a bank/ATM. Most places in Chinatown are cash only and I personally hate carrying cash. SO THIS PLACE IS A GEM. Must try! read more

They take Apple Pay and credit card which is HUGE for a local hole in the wall Chinatown spot. Very impressed by the leek dumpling 韭菜盒子 which is super flavorful and juicy. The pork and cabbage buns were delicious too Great place to pick up some delicious quick dumplings, baos, spring rolls and looks like they also sell custom bowls? No seating, it's a takeout place. Really nice staff that speak mandarin and English read more

Very flavorful! Perfect pairing with beer for a rooftop party. Next time I want to try the pancake! read more

I always walked by this place when going to Chinatown (after getting off the train). Pan-fried buns are a staple of a quick Chinese breakfast, so I finally decided to try them. They also have beef and pork buns, but I chose chicken because I wanted to feel "healthy," LOL. Their scallion pancake looked tasty, too, but I just wanted a quick small pick-me-up. Pan-Fried Chicken & Mushroom Bun Review: Crispy on the outside and soft inside, these buns deliver a flavorful punch. The chicken wasn't overly dry & paired perfectly with mushrooms (and some cabbage) for a juicy, savory bite. Meat to bun ratio was spot on. Not too thick on the wrapper or too thin. The plus side was that it wasn't greasy. Simple, satisfying, and expertly pan-fried! I had one extra one which I took home, heated it up & added a little bit of sriracha... amazing! read more

While exploring Chinatown with a friend, we stopped by JoJo Duck and grabbed a bag of dumplings. It's basically a large takeout stall with no seating, just quick service, but the food was fantastic. We ordered the pork dumplings, and they were huge, nearly the size of our fist! Fresh, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned. We got five for $8, which felt like a great deal for the quality and portion size. I'm already looking forward to going back to try some of the other options, especially the scallion pancakes and different dumpling fillings. A great stop for quick, delicious street-style eats in Chinatown. read more

Great selection, fair prices, and friendly service. Pan fried buns, fried dumplings, fried big pork, leek, and vermicelli dumpling were all delicious. The fried sweet glutinous red bean dumplings were equally crisp and delicious. Will be back. Highly recommended. read more

今天第一次在这里买了半磅的牛百叶，味道还不错。就是贵了点，$20.69。结账时员工没有说Apple pay会额外加上税会比较贵。所以我直接苹果支付了。 半磅真的不多，就半盒还不太满的那种(照片里的吃掉了一些） 味道是不错，但我应该不会再买这个。下次试试买鸭翅看会不会更好吃？哈哈！ read more

Jojo Duck - 牛百叶 - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

It's easy to miss Jojo Duck as it's literally a store front/window and nothing more. There's no place to sit or counter tops to eat at. But as I've said in my other reviews of places, the general rule is that the more no frills an establishment is, the more authentic the food. The food at JoJo's definitely authentic Taiwanese Street food and a welcome addition to Chinatown and it's fight against gentrification. That being said, I've gotten many items from their menu over the many visits in the space. I've gotten the lamb burger, the pork burger, lamb dumplings, scallion pancakes, and sausages. I've gotten the lamb burgers the most because of the value but the lamb dumplings are also good and something you don't see elsewhere. I have had to reheat a burger a few times but it was in part because I bought them on a cold rainy day so what do you expect really. Now I'm not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. I think one mentioned a mix up in their order, which for a place where English is not their first language a mix up is a possibility of happening. If you want authentic, you're gonna run into issues like that and if you want authentic, people with dietary restrictions may run into issues like that unfortunately. Anyway, if you're in Chinatown and looking for delicious cheap eats on the go I'd recommend JoJo Duck. read more

Flavors are good, but you don't get much for what you pay for. I've tried their sausages with spicy powder. It's so good after you heat it back up. It's juicy and packed with flavor. Also full of grease, though. For this specific thing, the price is ok. It's $4/sausage. The duck tongue filled up about somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of the smallest container available but cost a whooping $17. The flavor is good, though. Pretty spicy. I would get it again for my parents to try, but unless they really love it, I probably would not get it again. *edit: also, I forgot to mention that before I purchased the tongues, I asked the woman what is the least amount I could get because I do not think I can eat too much on my own. She told me $5 or $10, but it ended up being a whooping $17. I am the type of person who can not muster up the courage to complain in person and would neither cancel my orders. read more

Jojo Duck - Duck tongue - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

A kind of open air booth in Chinatown selling dumplings, buns, pancakes and all kinds of unique meat parts and products. We picked out three pork buns and heated them up when we got back home. I thought we had bought barbecued buns, but these turned out to be heavy scallion and pork buns. Just ok, not a lot of flavor. read more

The food was ICE cold! And this is how much I got for $16! A pack of this at the market is $2 at best...they let me sample it before quickly telling me the price. The flavor wasn't bad but the service not the best. I wouldn't recommend read more

Jojo Duck - Chicken gizzards - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Went there and the man gave me a sample pork/cabbage dumpling and then made me pay for it

Honestly, this is exactly what I was looking for and it exceeded my expectations. I was looking for something like this all throughout Chinatown and gave up but found this stand on my way to the station. Their pan fried buns are juicy, flavorful, and the bun itself wasn't too thick and had the right amount of crisp--good value and i thought they would be soggy when I got home but the consistency held up. I'll be back! read more

Convenient takeout window for when you need a bun or dumpling on the go. The man working here was friendly. The dumplings and buns while not exceptional were flavorful. However, overpriced for a storefront window restaurant. read more

I consider myself incredibly lucky that I walked by this terrific storefront on my way to a doctor's office. At five buns for $8 this is the tastiest most satisfying meal I've had in a long time.
