Like A Local GuideFebruary 3, 2015This place supplies ridiculously cheap, deliciously authentic dumplings. It may almost always be hot and crowded inside but isn't that part of the New York experience? Read more
Keren ReyesMay 7, 2016Chicken & Basil Dumplings, Peking Duck Sesame Pancake and Almond Smoothie are the Bomb!! Delicious and cheap food. One of my top favorites!
Sesame pancake with pork or duck + a bowl of beef noodle soup + an order of dumplings. The homiest meal you can get. And you'll still have left overs. And it'll total 10 dollars. Can't beat this place
K MApril 11, 2019This place blew my mind. The sesame pancake sandwich was a first for me, but was perfect. So many things done right. The value for the price is amazing.
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 8, 2018Loved: chicken dumplings, pork dumplings, pork bun, duck scallion pancake (this alone could be a lunch though). Was OK: miso soup, veggie dumplings. Super cheap. Bib Gourmand fasho!
Stephanie ZhongAugust 23, 2014Tips from a CHINESE person: Boiled dumplings are delish. Pan fried dumplings are a little over-hyped... Pork noodles, however, are SIMPLY AMAZING.
Seriously cheap eats - like jaw dropping I'm never going to do the pre-payday starve again cheap. Get the pan fried pork and chive dumplings for freaking 1.25. Did I say it's cheap? (And delicious)
I am always amazed by the efficiency and value of this place. Everything on the menu is great!! Soups, noodles, sandwiches, and, of course, the dumplings!
L SSeptember 23, 2017This location might be better than the original! Hot and sour soup is delicious and super spicy!
Chrysanthe TenentesDecember 27, 2011The new location has great soup options (even veggie), whole wheat wrappers on the veg, &nicer ambiance than the 14th st location. Solid Bedford Ave option if you want quick, cheap, relatively healthy
John ThrasherMay 18, 2012Chicken and basil dumplings are so yum. Noodles with sesame sauce not so yum. Don't let the busy-ness and chaos distract you. Everyone here is very friendly and organized!
Kate The RedMarch 16, 2015I literally ordered every vegetarian thing on that menu. For a chain they are pretty damn amazing. And cheap.
Pan fried dumplings and the sesame pancake sandos are all you need to get.
Asia LindsayNovember 10, 2014The epitome of cheap and cheerful! The sautéed noods are delicious as are the spicy wontons and all the sesame buns. Good dumplings too obvs.
There's nowhere else in New York where you can fill up for $5. Lots more seating than the LES location. Don't miss the sesame pancake sandwiches!
KinoJanuary 30, 2015The Dan Dan Mian 担担面 here is sub par. The Spicy Wontons (Pork & Shrimp, Sichuan style) 红油炒手 was alright. Prices are reasonable. $10 cc min. Chinatown has better options. For the neighborhood, it's ok.
Kick ass mango bubble tea, mushroom and pork dumplings and pork and chive is what I live for. Not too mention that their bathroom is awesome lol.
CamilleNovember 4, 2015Super delicious and cheap! Go for the chive and pork dumplings or sesame pancakes (basically a sandwich)
Samantha JoSeptember 29, 2014Everything's good. Don't be scared to try setting new. And always get everything to go because you will have leftovers.- DustinMarch 8, 2017Super cramped seating. The Peking duck sesame pancake is delicious, if not as stuffed with duck as I'd like.
Cant go wrong w/ Shrimp dumplings and a Tuna Pancake sandwich, unless you dont eat fish. If thats the case, this isnt a good tip for you.
Amanda LynnOctober 9, 2015Try every single dumpling on the menu, seriously. The prices are insanely cheap & the dumplings are so worth it.
Cleaner than Chinatown one(thus, prob not quite as tasty), tough to beat noodles + sesame pancake + pint of decent beer < $10, but there's this constant high-pitched sound that's driving me insane
Adrian BellomoApril 1, 2017Best bang for your buck in all of Williamsburg. The dumplings are delicious and seriously cheap.
Super cheap and tasty dumplings! Make sure to try the honey lemon tea and spring onion pancake
Christina NawabiDecember 19, 2014The prices are great and the dumplings are so delicious. My order came out really quick -- great for a quick bite.
Gaby GingolaDecember 28, 2015The best cheap food. The chicken and basil dumplings look like baby naked mole rats but are delicious
Sounds like a weird thing to recommend, but the hot and sour soup is some of the best out there. I go w/ boiled dumplings, fried are hit or miss.
Serious EatsFebruary 11, 2015Skip the dumplings and order the excellent pan-fried sesame pancakes instead.- Tracy QuiApril 30, 2014The spicy wontons are appropriately named. Sesame pork pancakes, and pork chive dumplings are the way to go.
Sabrina WangJuly 9, 2015always a longer wait than I thought to take out don't know why... but still good food for cheap bite!
Summer BurtonJune 2, 2013everything here is cheap and the sesame pancake sandwiches are even better than the dumps, which are very good.
So good and so cheap! It's literally impossible to meet the $10 credit card minimum without taking extra to-go.
Ben GaspariniAugust 28, 2016Cheap, delicious, guilty pleasure treasure. Sesame pancake sandwiches are insanely good.
Kaya GrimNovember 13, 2018I like the low prices, the spicy wontons, and the pork sesame pancake sandwiches.
Chive and pork dumplings, pork and mushroom fried buns, sesame pancake with egg. Under $6. Bet you can't finish it.
Foxxy BDecember 11, 2017Veggie dumplings are the way to go, if you have to have a quick bite in the area. I’d avoid the Dan Dan—honestly felt terrible afterwards. Relatively cheap.
Alexa SternJuly 19, 2017Steam dumplings are delicious and super affordable! The bubble tea was ok - bobas undercooked
Esther ChoiOctober 25, 2015Amazing cheap delicious dumplings. Always end up overeating here...bring your fat pants.
Taly OzirApril 29, 2012Chicken basil pan fried dumplings are pretty money... But I doubt there is anything that comes in a form of a dumpling and is fried can be anything but....
- Get the pork and chive dumplings and a pork sesame sandwich.. So good!
$3-$4 for 4 dumplings. 2 orders and a scallion pancake guaranteed to fill your appetite.
NastyaSeptember 13, 2019Fast and pretty good food to cure your hangover. They have a lot of vegetarian options.
Oliver KlieweAugust 24, 2014Delicious and cheap dumplings. Make it a stop on a Bedford Ave bar crawl
