Emily KaneOctober 25, 2016So convenient that this place is directly on top of the Canal St stop for to-go orders. You can quickly escape home with the inordinate amount of food you ordered and eat it all in your bed ASAP.
Cubby TigMarch 7, 2016steamed dumplings are insanely good...great soy based dipping sauce as well. Chinese food legit as well. If you haven't hit this place, and you love Chinese, specifically dumplings, you are an idiot
Graylyn RooseJuly 22, 2016Great authentic Chinatown dumpling spot. My table tried a little of everything. Crispy, delicious egg rolls, crab Rangoon and pork buns. The shrimp dumplings and sesame chicken dishes were also a hit.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013Our go-to place for straight-up dumplings (as the name would indicate). The fried pork dumplings are our favorite, and the scallion pancakes are actually quite tasty.
J CrowleyJuly 23, 2014Hard not to eat like Jabba the Hut here. Lots of food for little💰. Pork 🐷 soup dumplings and pork 🐷steamed dumplings were the winners. Pork buns are OK but certainly not winning a Porky 🏆
StevieJune 28, 2014Love this place. The food is always clean and fresh and FAST! I come here for lunch from the courthouse all the time, and they are so efficient. Get any kind of dumpling.
Samuel HowardFebruary 19, 2016Dumplings people. It's in the name. Also had Peking duck barbecue spring roll. The spring rolliness of it was amazing, but the duck part was only OK. Plan to try other rolls when I go back.
Eric WJuly 17, 2013Their to-go lunch specials are ready very quickly. Minimal waiting time. Good if you're in a hurry.
Varun ShettyJuly 22, 2014Dumplings Til You Die: keep running back orders of the soup and steamed pork dumplings. Until they wheel you out of there. In a coffin. To the cemetery. Because you died. Of deliciousness.
Brandon F.May 6, 2016Good Chinese food for the price. Their pork dumplings are awesome, although they lack the soup in them the other restaurants around the area are known for.
Chloe HeathJanuary 20, 2016Love getting takeout from here. Super cheap and good - and the portions are huge!
Michelle WilesJanuary 30, 2017Good place for takeout, especially if you just want to try a bunch of dumplings
Natalie AnilloJuly 6, 2015Quick place to pick up lunch during a weekday - can order there and be out in 10 minutes. Pork dumplings are better steamed than fried here.
Christopher PiazzaJanuary 2, 201510.0 my favorite Chinese food! Scallion Pancakes + seafood dumplings + sizzling chicken fried rice = perfect meal
Santiago CaicedoJuly 8, 2011Cheap, fast and yummy. The spicy and hot soup is amazing: perfect spicy (3.5/5) and huge pieces of tofu ( and for 1.75 you can figure out the size )
Gant PowellMarch 3, 2013I got the steamed vegetable dumplings. They tasted fresh and they were tender and juicy. The order came out quickly and the price was good.
Anna OhareJuly 9, 2014Amazing dumplings. Get the fried chicken ones, and spring rolls. You won't regret it.- Michelle CoudonOctober 10, 2011Fast service, plenty of hot tea, mostly oily grub & cash only. Do yourself a favor & stick with the steamed buns. Those are "excellent". - MichelleC.tv
Nikhil KundraDecember 30, 2011Get the Pork Bun, Chicken Dumplings, Scallion Pancake, egg drop soup, or sweet and sour soup! All so good!!!
Michael GenaoDecember 6, 2014Love this place. Get anything over rice!! It's cheap and very filling!!
Oscar TrellesNovember 15, 2012Cheap, good, and fast. Try their steamed pork dumplings, sizzling fried rice, and crab rangoon.
Christal FleishmanDecember 27, 2015A little pricy for dumplings but they're tasty dumplings and the service is great.
Madison BackJuly 12, 2011Order the spinach dumpling soup, off the menu. Delicious dumplings and fresh juicy bok choi in yummy broth for only $5!
Howard GreensteinJuly 7, 2013Recommend the shrimp/crab dumplings and the pan fried pork dumplings and the pan fried noodles.
Doraly PantaleonOctober 6, 2014Cash only! Call ahead of time and ur good will be ready for pick up, good cheap Chinese.
Sam KellyMay 6, 2012Although this place only accepts cash, it is by far one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to.
Ashley AlvarezFebruary 23, 2013Good lunch portions and prices. Good sesame chicken and shrimp fried rice. Drink the hot tea.
Sylvia A.January 14, 2012Shanghai steam mini dumplings is a must. Their korean BBQ and pork chop is good too!
Richard Christo HollowayDecember 19, 2013Try the beef with orange flavour! I'm married to a Chinese girl and even I am impressed!
Alexander MorrisSeptember 18, 2011Lo mein and fried dumplings much greasier than I remember from past visits but the hot and sour soup hit the spot
Gaëlle Ma TataOctober 31, 2015I only had dumplings as good in China. Shau lon pau highly recommanded
Robin McClaryMarch 17, 2014May not look like much but it is one of my Chinatown faves for dumplings.
Joshua NessAugust 26, 2014The steamed buns are sitting on small squares of white paper. They're kinda hard to see. Don't eat them.
DevinJune 26, 2012Dumplings really are excellent, but be prepared to sit at communal tables and its cash only
Emelyn RobertsMarch 27, 2012Shumai with edamame is the beat thing here the wantan soup is really good to
