    Pork and chive fried dumpling
    Deanna G.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    4 for $2 Chives and Pork Fried Dumplings

    It's a small spot, but both the fried and boiled dumplings are so delicious and juicy! These are my favorite dumplings at the moment.

    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.

    Second stop in the walking dumpling tour (list in profile) and it did not disappoint. Would rank it a solid 4 out of 6 spots I visited. Another one of the original spots for fried dumplings, this place was good. Filling was generous and extremely flavorful but the outer layer was soggy and falling apart. I ordered 30 dumplings for the group and I think a good 10 had a broken outer layer which made it come in 4th instead of 3rd. A nice store front directly across from Columbus park with plenty of seating, orders were generated relatively fast. A lot of people were eating the steamed and fried dumplings. I think this place could easily be thrown into the discussion for BEST fried dumplings in Chinatown if their pan fried dumpling were.... actually fried. Unfortunately, a dumpling that cannot live up to its name of being pan fried cannot be a dumpling nominated to be the best in Chinatown.

    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 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.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

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.

Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
