Jo ChowFebruary 16, 2013All the white hipsters go to Vanessa's. All the Chinese peeps who know the real deal with 1/10th of a price come here.
Best steamed dumplings in Manhattan, and the only place where I can find 拌面 (1/2 lb of peanut soy sauce noodles for $2). The veg-to-meat ratio and wrapper consistency is so spot-on it's scary.- ZenFoodsterDecember 6, 2015Trust me-they're the best in NYC! Skins are perfectly thin & not doughy & filling is so tasty. You'll be dreaming of these boiled pork & chive dumplings & not any others!
Even amid the many deligts if Chinatown, this little secret is a real standout. It’s located on the corned past Vanessa’s Dumplings. Order 4, 5 and 14 are the way to go. Also, everything is so cheap.
jenny zApril 26, 2015must try their homemade dumplings and wheat noodles in peanut sauce! love their wonton soup too - it's not your typical Chinese takeout type. Much thinner wrap and light soup base. see if you like it!
Protect this place at all costs! One of the few places in this day/age where you can get a 2 course meal for just $6. The rice noods are fluffy, bouncier compared to the wheat noods in PB- both good!
Untapped CitiesJuly 27, 2012The boiled dumplings are great, but the rice balls with beef ($3) are the real star here. Deliciously soft and sticky, they may remind you of mochi... until you get a bite of that marinated beef. Read more
- PB noodles are now $3.00 from $2.50! Cash only. Can’t go wrong with either noodle- the wheat is the wider noodle, firmer bite (pic); the thick rice noodle is bouncier esp when the sauce is absorbed.
- EileenMay 11, 2018Steamed pork and chive dumplings are delicious! 6 for $2.50. Lots of filling. Eat with sriracha and their tasty house dumpling sauce. Peanut butter noodles are uninteresting, skip
Super cheap hole in the wall place, full meal at $5! Boiled Dumplings great with vinegar sauce, i think wheat noodle would be better with peanut sauce instead of the rice one
- Agustín BorrazásNovember 13, 2016Amazing dumplings for 2$ and Wonton Soup also plus Tripe! All prices are 2 or 3.50 it's the most amazing and cheap food you'll find!
Sophia HDecember 29, 2018Beef Tripe with Wheat Noodle Soup, Pork and Chive Dumplings, Fish Ball Soup, and Pork Ball Soup were all good. Incredibly cheap prices and very filling portions. Unbeatable deal in Manhattan!
Village VoiceSeptember 27, 2013Order the huge plate of thick peanut butter noddles that will stick to your taste buds after every bite!
- ZenFoodsterSeptember 27, 2015$2 for 6 of tastiest must-try BOILED (thin-skinned) pork & chive dumplings in NYC! If u want fried, thicker-skin ones, order @ Vanessa's. Then, hop over here to try these while Vanessa's being prepped
It’s the real deal. Dumplings are among the best in the city and available frozen to go. Fantastic value proposition all around
Ernesto GutierrezJune 28, 2019The pork and chive dumplings alongside the wheat noodles with peanut butter sauce (#05) are the staple dishes of this place. Place looks a little dodgy but worth it.
Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019Get their pork & chive dumplings - 6 for $2.50 or 10 for $3.50 . People always rave about their noodles with peanut butter sauce.
Delicious pork and chive dumplings! $2 for 6 or $3 for 10. You can also buy 50 frozen for $10.
Serious EatsSeptember 30, 2013Really cheap Fuzhou-style wonton soup features dozens of whispy, tiny wontons in a celery and scallion-flavored broth.
Luke KingmaMay 28, 2013Is there a line at Vanessa's? That's okay. You should have come here first anyway. A table full of fish balls, pork balls, and steamed dumplings will cost you next to nothing, and give you everything.
Best dumplings in lower Manhattan. Get the pork and chive: 6 for $2.50 or 10 for $3.50
TomMarch 21, 2019The noodles with peanut sauce ($2.50) and the pork and chives dumplings ($2.5/sm or $3.50/lg) are a must try!
Best Fuzhou fishballs I've found in the city. Broth is yum, but a little light. Super cheap. Friendly staff. Ignore the fact that it looks condemned =)
Michael HarrisAugust 11, 2017Best steamed dumplings I've eaten in all of NYC. Why am I just learning about you now? Also get the peanut buckwheat noodles as a side and spend $4 total
Samantha MJune 13, 2022The peanut noodles and dumplings are great! The 6 piece is more then enough food!
Wong Lip ChinJanuary 2, 2022Really affordable Chinese food, generous portion. The butter noodle sauce is dope, but the noodle isn’t bouncy (Q). It would be perfect if it is.
RachaelApril 28, 2019For $3.50, you can get 10 pork & chive dumplings - and for another $2.50, you can get a plate of noodles in peanut sauce.
Sandy PaeSeptember 2, 2012The large order of dumplings (11 pieces) is perfect for one person and is 3 bucks. Use a combo of the soy sauce, sriracha and vinegar for dipping! Yum!
SheenaNovember 16, 2018This place could've been lifted out of Fu Zhou and placed in Manhattan. In other words, delicious, authentic, inexpensive noods and dumps
One of my favorite places for cheap eats. Plate of peanut butter sauce noodles and seven dumplings will run you $4.- TomMarch 21, 2019The noodles with peanut sauce ($2.50) and the pork and chives dumplings are a must try!
Jeff HuAugust 3, 20142$ small fish balls + 2$ noodle = my lunch (total 4$). And... I feel so full after that.
Only $4 for a bowl of really delicate Fuzhou style wonton soup and 6 dumplings.
Ina LiMay 3, 20152.5-5 dollars for a delicious meal! Try the fishball, the YanJiao and noodle for sure!
Foxxy BJuly 22, 2018Yes, it is surprisingly inexpensive. But it is also cheap. I’d only eat here if you have to spend no more than $5 on a relatively filling meal.
best dumplings in area (meat to wonton ratio). must get wheat noodles with peanut butter sauce
Honghui YuApril 10, 2017Great food at dirt cheap prices. Highly recommend the pork and chive dumplings.
chin1taMarch 5, 2017a colorful crowd packs this bare bones dumpling stop for one reason : the food is good!
