Hands down THE BEST DUMPLINGS in NYC....I've been coming here before IG and TikTok heard of them. It's a whole in the wall. Keep expectations low but expect delicious cheap eats. The lines can be long, due to so many social media "influencers" but it's goes by fast. There is ample seating for your preference, but the warm up nicely at home as well My faves are the pork and chive dumplings! Run don't walk to some of the BEST Dumplings in NYC!

Finally got the try this place while I was in the area and it was definitely really good although not sure I'd say it matched all the hype. The place was fairly packed with a line of about 12 people when I got there, although the line moved quickly and I got my food within 15 minutes of getting to the restaurant.The fries pork and chive dumplings were very good. It was 7 juicy dumplings with plenty of filling and an amazing crisp from the fry. Would 100% recommend this. The wheat noodles with peanut sauce were plentiful but nothing special, a good bounce to the noodles but the sauce itself wasn't all that flavorful (although for the price of $3.25 can't really complain).Overall would still recommend this place although don't think it's as life changing as I've seen from some other reviews.

Amazing bang for your buck! These were some of the cheapest best dumplings I've ever had! Perfectly crisp on the outside, and delicious on the inside-I loved every bite of them! For $5-you get 7 perfect dumplings; how much better can you get? The peanut sauce noodles weren't my absolute favorite. I felt that the sauce was a little but watery and a little too peanuty, but it may just not be my cup of tea. If you're really into peanuty sauces-then it might be for you! Also, they are only $3.50, so you can't really go wrong if you just want to try it which is what I did!It is cash only, so just be prepared for that when you go!

A good cheap eats spot to satisfy a craving. I always love a good peanut noodle and steamed pork bun and these definitely hit the spot. This is a quick, busy place to stop in for a meal! With self seating and cheap prices, it's a fun experience to stop in for some comfort food! It's for sure quick and not an upscale place so don't be afraid to ask to share tables and definitely make sure to try the chili oil with your dumplings too, it's a game changer.The rice peanut noodles were overall okay and the steamed buns were pretty good. You could definitely find these items anywhere but if you're in need to satisfy a craving with no frills or thrills, this is the place to be!

This was my favorite stop during my most recent visit to Chinatown. You order at the counter in the back and do your best to find a table. Don't be afraid to ask to share a table with others as it seems to be the norm.We got the boiled pork and cabbage dumpling and the wheat noodles with peanut butter sauce. The boiled dumplings were juicy and tasted just like home. The dumplings were great alone but the addition of their dumpling sauce and chili oil really hit it out of the park. The peanut noodles were perfectly chewy, creamy, and recommend trying them with the chili oil too. If you have a gluten allergy, there is a rice noodle version on the menu (#6).The service here is quick and efficient. Our order was ready within minutes of sitting down! Note, they are cash-only but conveniently have an ATM right outside the door.

Cash only, share tables and clean up after yourself!Easy cheap and fast food. It was very tasty and the crowds proved it.Pork and cabbage dumplings were so goooood. The pb noodles were also in such a reminiscent pb taste with a nice chew of noodle.

Definitely add to a cheap eats chinatown crawl! I got the pork and chive dumplings which were packed with flavor and so cheap! They also sell frozen ones if you want to take them home and the price is unbeatable. I tried the peanut butter noodles as well and I did not really enjoy it because it lacked flavor to me. It's usually pretty busy, so it can be hard to find a spot to sit. Cash only, but there is an ATM outside.

No-frills but tasty spot.We got an order of potstickers and the peanut noodles. The potstickers were solid and made better with the addition of their dumpling sauce and chili sauce. The peanut noodles had a decent chew and were also made better with their addicting chili sauce. The total came out to $8.25, so it was super affordable.

Hard to find seats during peak hours! Honestly seems like it's always peak hours tho lol great value and it's so nice to eat something warm in this ice cold weather!! Try EVERYthing on the menu! Not the cleanest looking restaurant. But this is Chinatown!

Was in search of a cheap place to get my Christmas day Chinese food fix and this fit the bill.The menu is simple and no frills. The wheat noodles with peanut butter sauce probably isn't something I ever would have ordered without it being recommended, but really was a sleeper hit for me. Simple. The noodles are nice, enjoyed the wheat ones much more than I anticipated.We grabbed pork and chive dumplings. Add the chili oil to this and its overall a well flavored dumpling. They do fall apart fairly easily, which I didn't necessarily mind given how cheap they were. Grab a table as soon as you see one open (even if there is someone using the other seats). Cash only. Pretty quick service.
