This 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 Reyes

Chicken & Basil Dumplings , Peking Duck Sesame Pancake and Almond Smoothie are the Bomb!! Delicious and cheap food. One of my top favorites!

kate wang

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

This 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 Burstein

Loved: 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!

Paulo H

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 !

Stephanie Zhong

Tips from a CHINESE person: Boiled dumplings are delish. Pan fried dumplings are a little over-hyped... Pork noodles , however, are SIMPLY AMAZING.

Stacey Gee

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)

Chrysanthe Tenentes

The 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

Asia Lindsay

The epitome of cheap and cheerful! The sautéed noods are delicious as are the spicy wontons and all the sesame buns . Good dumplings too obvs.

Chelsea

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 !

L S

This location might be better than the original! Hot and sour soup is delicious and super spicy !

Kate The Red

I literally ordered every vegetarian thing on that menu. For a chain they are pretty damn amazing. And cheap .

John Thrasher

Chicken 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 !

Conor Martin

Pan fried dumplings and the sesame pancake sandos are all you need to get.

Latoya Snell

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.

Nymling

Love this place. Try the pork and mushroom buns !

Amanda Lynn

Try every single dumpling on the menu, seriously. The prices are insanely cheap & the dumplings are so worth it.

Camille

Super delicious and cheap ! Go for the chive and pork dumplings or sesame pancakes (basically a sandwich )

Dustin

Super cramped seating. The Peking duck sesame pancake is delicious, if not as stuffed with duck as I'd like.

Samantha Jo

Everything's good. Don't be scared to try setting new. And always get everything to go because you will have leftovers.

Christina Nawabi

The prices are great and the dumplings are so delicious. My order came out really quick -- great for a quick bite .

Adrian Bellomo

Best bang for your buck in all of Williamsburg. The dumplings are delicious and seriously cheap .

Tracy Qui

The spicy wontons are appropriately named. Sesame pork pancakes , and pork chive dumplings are the way to go.

Kino

The 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.

Rodney A

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

Steff Hind

Super cheap and tasty dumplings ! Make sure to try the honey lemon tea and spring onion pancake

Kaya Grim

I like the low prices, the spicy wontons , and the pork sesame pancake sandwiches .

Gaby Gingola

The best cheap food. The chicken and basil dumplings look like baby naked mole rats but are delicious

Ben Gasparini

Cheap , delicious, guilty pleasure treasure. Sesame pancake sandwiches are insanely good.

Ross Marshall

Chive and pork dumplings , pork and mushroom fried buns , sesame pancake with egg . Under $6. Bet you can't finish it.

Foxxy B

Veggie 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 .

Michael Cordero

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.

Sabrina Wang

always a longer wait than I thought to take out don't know why... but still good food for cheap bite!

nikki

really, really good value . solidly authentic . casual dining atmosphere

Summer Burton

everything here is cheap and the sesame pancake sandwiches are even better than the dumps , which are very good.

Rachel R

Dumplings are great - quick, inexpensive and easy.

Alexa Stern

Steam dumplings are delicious and super affordable ! The bubble tea was ok - bobas undercooked

Esther Choi

Amazing cheap delicious dumplings . Always end up overeating here...bring your fat pants.

Serious Eats

Skip the dumplings and order the excellent pan-fried sesame pancakes instead.

Nicole Lopez

So good and so cheap ! It's literally impossible to meet the $10 credit card minimum without taking extra to-go.

Gianni

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.

Nastya

Fast and pretty good food to cure your hangover. They have a lot of vegetarian options .

Steven Lambiase

$3-$4 for 4 dumplings . 2 orders and a scallion pancake guaranteed to fill your appetite.

Matt Cline

#11 spicy dumplings are incredible. Oily and hot.

samantha hankins

Pork and chive on the cheap ! Perfect nabe alternative to heading to Prosperity.

Abby Martinez

I don’t know how they’re able to sell food for so cheap . I don’t care because it’s so good!!!

Oliver Kliewe

Delicious and cheap dumplings . Make it a stop on a Bedford Ave bar crawl

Steff Hind

Super cheap , nice dumplings . Try the lemon honey tea

somejerk
