Only had a little bit of time to spare and did a search on yelp for dumplings near me and found this place right by Columbia and Morningside park. Walk inside and be instantly transported into a cozy and beautiful, high-ceilinged exquisitely decorated space. Had great service and really good dumplings, which is what we came for! It was just before noon and my daughter and I had plans later so we didn't want to overeat so we ordered the fried pork dumplings and the pork soup dumplings. Perfectly fried crisp fried dumplings and enough ginger and tender juicy filling I wish I could have had more but had dinner plans after. The soup dumplings were tasty, but wished the wrapper wasn't as thick, which made it chewier-though was still good. Will be back to try the noodles and other soups and dishes! read more

LaSalle Dumpling Room has been in the neighborhood for a while, and it brings a spacious, cultural, contemporary, minimalistic vibe that really works. It has its own steady following. Whenever I walk by, it is never overcrowded, but there are always people inside enjoying themselves, which tells you it is doing something right. I love dumplings, so I am grateful to have a spot like this nearby. It feels authentic enough that I do not have to run all the way downtown just to satisfy a craving for really good dumplings. My only personal issue is that I eat like Andre the Giant. I need at least three servings to feel complete, so this is the place I come to when I want to treat myself and just lean in. The staff is solid, the service is good, and the ambience is relaxed and calm. It is a nice place to sit with friends, chill by yourself with a book, or bring family without feeling crowded. Plenty of space, a gentle vibe, almost zen in a city that rarely gives you that. Cheers. read more

I came here for a team lunch, and it was alright. We walked in and immediately got a table for four. The space is large with lots of tables. The air conditioner is huge, so it was also pretty cold inside. We all placed our orders and food came out relatively quick! The food was just okay, in my opinion. The xiao long bao and pan fried dumplings both had really thick wraps. They were also decently oily inside. My dan dan noodles was fine, but the sauce was nothing extraordinary. I thought the beef scallion pancake was nice though. Overall, I'm glad I tried. read more

It was nice to duck in for an early dinner on a cold December evening. The dishes came out quickly- my favorites were the Szechuan Tofu and the Beef with Green beans. The dishes did not feel heavy at all and tasted light and flavorful. Can't wait to return with more friends! read more

La Salle Dumpling Room - Dan Dan Noodle- 担担面 - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

This was BOMB! I had been at a conference at Columbia and the food there was well... lacking. On day two, we decided to forgo the provided lunch and head out and came to La Salle, which my friend had found. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We shared: Chicken dumplings Shrimp dumplings Cold noodles Sauteed string beans Beef with broccoli Hot and spicy chicken Enjoyed every dish (and the company too, but that's not part of the ratings). I would definitely visit this again. Even though we have good Chinese food in LA (especially in Asian neighborhoods), NYC Chinese food hits different. Thank you for a delicious meal! read more

Great food and great service, always. They have an extensive menu for vegans and vegetarians which is awesome! I love the impossible xiao long bao the best. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. This is a consistent, solid restaurant in the area. The restaurant is never too loud and the decor is pretty. They have a bathroom for patron use as well. read more

Born in China, I rate La Salle Dumpling Room's Snow Cabbage with Pork Noodles the best noddle soup New York City. The cabbage is fresh, the noodles is thing yet chewy. I don't eat red meet, so I put the pork on the side. The etary is on Broadway near 125th street. Every time I feel hugary, I think about the restaurant. The high ceiling space, it is decorated with lovely black and white photos of the 1940s China cities. Sam, the restaurant's owner/manager is supper nice. I would give a 5 stars if the servers would be more friendly and with smiles. read more

I came here for dinner on Wednesday evening and it was as delicious. We ordered a lot of food so let's start with the starters pork dumplings, chicken dumplings with a special sauce and pork crab soup dumplings. I would definitely order the chicken dumplings in the special sauce that was so good; the sauce which they were in was the perfect complement. The pork dumplings were boiled and it would have been better if they were pan fried. The stuffing in the dumplings was very flavorful and generous. The main entrees we had the general tso chicken, Dan Dan noodles, pork fried rice and beef and broccoli. I enjoyed the general tso chicken but would have wanted it to be more crunchy. The beef and broccoli was amazing; the broccoli was well cooked and the taste of it was delicious. The fried rice was good and had a good amount of meat in it. The service was amazing; the food came in order and well timed. The staff would come and check in on us and ask us how the food was. The gentleman said the next time we come he would give us the pork dumplings pan fried. The place is nice and has a homey friend atmosphere. It does transport me to a different country. read more

La Salle Dumpling Room - Chicken with Broccoli - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

It's still the best place I have made plenty of returns to for soup dumplings and those delicious scallion pancakes. I made a visit today with my girls, and we had all the flavors of their soup dumplings. Pork, pork and crab, and pork and kimchi. All delicious. My new favorite was the pork and kimchi. It had some spice to it and was just filled with filling and flavor. I had to order two orders of the scallion pancakes because those became very popular among my girls. My oldest got her a pork belly soup to take home, and she enjoyed it all. The service is always five stars. Of course, you can buy other Asian dishes from the menu that I've also had a taste of, but we just really love the soup dumplings and scallion pancakes. The drinks are always yummy as well. I got myself a lychee ice tea this time. Although it had a very potent floral taste to it, it still was very tasty, and the longer the ice sat in it, the better it got. Great place to bring family or friends. They have outdoor and indoor dining. This is a two thumbs up from me at this local staple spot. HAPPY YELPING! read more

On our way to ramen, my partner noticed this place. Entranced by their choice of Xiao long bao he decided to take table. Food:4/5 The food is solid. You can tell how good a restaurant is by its patrons. It was almost completely full when we walked in. My favorite dish was the tofu with shrimp. It was large, simple, and a perfect zen dish after some dumplings and nutty noodles. I really appreciated that they don't used fried tofu and the shrimp was fresh! Service: 4/5 We got sat down promptly and provided with ice cold water. Instinctively, I asked for tea, which they assumed bubble tea. After clarifying, I just want regular hot tea they came back with a cute tea pot for my partner and I to share. All in all, service was good. My only pet peeve was their gave us a black vinegar dish with ginger, but with no spoons. So, I ended up having to pour my vinegar into my Xiao long bao. All on all, I would definitely go back again. They were quick, the food was good, and it was not too expensive. read more

I had the popcorn chicken with peanuts, sesame beef, and wonton soup through delivery. It was the worst meal I've ever had. I threw it all away after forcing myself to make a small plate. I question if they even used beef; it tasted like fried dough and not even good friend dough. Like fried dough that was stale, and it was hard to chew. The chicken dish was SO salty. And the broth in the soup wasn't good either. Ugh. I've been here before and liked it, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

I have yet to try their soup dumplings (which seem to be a hit on Yelp), but I have ordered their Shredded Beef with Hot Pepper twice now, and I was delighted both times. The sauce is flavorful and has a hint of sweetness to it. The dish isn't very spicy, but it's still delicious. The second time that I ordered food from here, I got takeout, and my rice was somewhat dry; that is my only complaint. The dish reminds me of the beef with peppers that I used to get at a Chinese restaurant near my old home; it brings back fond memories! The service is great--we got our food quickly, and everyone in the restaurant was lovely. La Salle is a fun spot to grab a quick bite or to order takeout from during final exam season! ;) read more

La Salle Dumpling Room - Dan Dan Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

Super nice little spot to go for lunch or dinner. Very quick service and seating for parties of various sizes whether you are a cozy couple or a small work group. The dumplings are in orders of six, handmade, and around $11. I wish there was a variety option, but we were able to share. I got the shrimp steamed dumplings and they were delicious. A coworker got some peanut noodles with pork and it was also amazing. If you're not sharing, it's hard to commit to one big carboload dish so keep that in mind. They did not love splitting the check, but they did so anyway. Really appreciate that. I ordered a bubble tea and asked for it to be less sweet. It was really really sweet and syrupy. One of my least favorite bubble teas I've ever had as it tasted pretty artificial. I did get the almond one for reference. The food came out fast, the menu, a simple, and everything tasted homemade. In general, I would not come here alone, but I will come here to share. read more

This place is consistent and never disappoints. The soup dumplings are excellent and the rest are just as they should be.

Wandered into La Salle's tonight for a quick dinner. Ordered pork XLB and Beef spicy pepper soup. The XLB was excellent and they come 6 on a bamboo steamer. Loved the soup and the wrapping. Unfortunately, the noodle soup was a miss. They specifically asked me if spicy was okay and I honestly felt like they were just green bell peppers with no spice. The broth was okay but the beef was nice and tender. Overall, will come back for the XLBs. read more

Post pandemic The food is so horrible and tasteless and reminds me a the cheapest throwaway Chinese food you can order. Even after alcohol, this food could not satisfy any hunger. I ordered 2 types of soup dumplings. No flavor, no soup, barely any filling. I was in shock. Even when I received it I was shocked with how it was deflated. There was literally no liquid. And the stuffing was mushy The shrimp fried rice use to have sooo much flavor. It had shrimp and no flavor. I will never eat hear again I am sorry that inflation and Covid has done this to your establishment I have order here several times after the pandemic and keep thinking I got based batches when now I can say the food has not only gotten consistently bad, but they are trying their best to survive cutting corners read more

Love it! The dumplings were delicious! This was a positive experience especially a place nearby the train station.

LaSalle is overpriced when compared to your local hole in the wall Asian establishment and definitely when compared to nearby restaurants. Let's just get that out of the way. So on that alone, some people will not give it the time of day. However, the extra cost goes a long way to create ambiance in the decor (even during the COVID-19 pause), and leads to dishes that are well prepared and of a higher quality than your average hole in the wall. The service is quick, the place is spotless and the food is good. I have a soft spot for their vegetable dumplings, scallion pancake with beef and their noodles. And while this is not a place to impress a first date, it's a good place for a decent meal with friends or an established relation. Check it out and take a walk by the Harlem piers after to burn off some of the food you've scored! read more

Everything was great. The food hot and tasty. The prices not too exorbitant. If we're ever in the area again we will stop by. First start with the mango tango. You won't regret it. The pork xao long bao was definitely worth it. Thanks La Salle! read more

Vegetable dumplings, chicken dumplings: the chicken dumplings are doughy. I ordered food delivery, so the dough got mushy and a bit soggy. The dough for the vegetable dumplings was thinner, but obviously not wonton-thin, and did not get mushy. They lined parchment paper under the vegetable dumplings, but not the chicken dumplings, so I don't know if that affected or preserved the dough in any way. The dumpling fillings tasted fine. These dumplings weren't bad, but for $9.50 for 6 dumplings, I don't know if I would order them again. Beef scallion pancake rolls: These were good! The flavors were very balanced and was not overpowered with hoisin sauce. There was the perfect amount of beef, onions, cucumbers, and dough. read more

Enjoyed a beautiful summer's evening dining on their patio last night (despite the train noise coming from above). I've been waiting to try La Salle for a long time and they delivered. The pan fried pork dumplings were stellar - some of the best I've ever had. The pork soup dumplings were also excellent. It might sound small, but I was pleased that each of us got our own dipping sauces for the dumplings. Next time I'd like to try the pork and kimchi soup dumplings. We also very much enjoyed the beef scallion pancake sandwich -which had flavorful beef and cucumber wrapped in a fluffy scallion pancake - and the fresh sautéed bok choy. Yum, yum, yum all around. read more

This place is a Columbia University student staple! I came here not too long ago for the first time even though I've been saying it for a while and I was really surprised at the quality of food and service. While you can find Chinese places for cheaper elsewhere and the food portions were smaller than expected, I really enjoyed eating it! Also, the length and accessibility of the menu option is something to keep in mind as a non-native Chinese reader. There are also boba and smoothie options! read more

I consider myself a harsh critic when it comes to soup dumplings and this spot really nailed it! Thin dough, tasty filling and perfect ratio of filling to soup. Hole in the wall by Columbia's main campus, but seriously legit. Would frequent La Salle Dumpling Room more often if it was located closer to the UWS. Highly recommend going out of your way to try these dumplings. Decided to stick with dumplings exclusively this time around at La Salle Dumpling Room, however need to come back for more!! read more

My friend and I stumbled on this place after a long day of studying at a coffee shop, and decided to go in and try it out. We ordered three types of dumplings and split them family style, and together that filled us up super well so if you're going with one other person that's definitely what I recommend. The restaurant was around half-full when we walked in and we were seated and served almost immediately, which was nice. The decor and ambiance was also super modern while retaining a traditional Chinese vibe. All three types of dumplings were clearly handmade and tasted super fresh. FOOD: Chicken dumplings (5/5) - The filling tasted amazing and juicy, and the dumplings were super big too. The dumpling skins were kind of thick but I didn't mind because of how soft they were. Veggie dumplings (4/5) - I liked that you could clearly taste all the ingredients (mushrooms, etc) of the filling, but my one complaint was that the filling was kind of bland and under salted. They could've definitely added some more soy sauce to the insides. Pork soup dumplings (4.5/5) - These dumplings were filled generously with hot soup and I definitely recommend getting these. They're especially great compared to normal pork dumplings. The skin of these could've been a little thinner, but they're really solid xiao long bao! read more
