Tasty Dumpling

Cheap dumplings. Like, insanely cheap.The restaurant appearance reflects this. Don't expect something nicely decorated. Ordered like 5 dumplings and got it within a few minutes.

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 itYou 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

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!

We hit this spot every time we visit chinatown. Cash only spot for a quick cheap bite. My partner loves the beef pan fried dumplings for their thick outer skin and juicy meat. The shrimp and chive could have more flavor but everything is always hot and fresh. There is indoor seating and is a fairly clean restaurant.

Life is short. F...it up! Family, Flavor, Friends While in NYC after a already extensive food crawl, we decided to check out this place as we start on Instagram. No-frills pops dumpling place that offers good handmade dumplings and a really good price. If you're passing by with friends and just looking for something else to snack on as you're walking, definitely check this place out. Don't forget the hot chili oil at the counter and there's soy sauce at the table..

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.

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.

Good food for the priceFast service, lots of dumpling off the beaten path but you can grab them and go eat in the park next door. Great ambiance.Cash only

Cash only but SO GOOD. Amazing dumplings so cheap and the scallion pancake was so good. We got some recs from the server at the counter and they were so helpful in our choices. Great hospitality will definitely be back

I was really excited to try Tasty Dumpling after seeing it on TikTok lol. It was not as I expected or I guess rather I should have expected to get what you pay for. The service was super fast. I got my order as soon as ai paid. Four pork and chive fried dumplings for $2 is incredibly cheap! However, it tasted like it had been cooked in old oil and reheated. I won't be returning but feel free to try.
