China North Dumpling

The very best dumplings in LES and Chinatown!!! After spending a whole year working in Chinatown and having eaten all of the “famous” dumplings, IMHO North Dumings are -by far- the BEST. I miss them.

Where to start... Everybody talks about Vanessa's for dumplings but this little hole in the wall was as good if not better. The dumplings are made fresh to order in front of you by two very nice ladies. My wife and I each had soup, a plate of pork dumplings and a soda and the total cost for two people was like $12. We both had a double take and asked if we owed them more and if a mistake was made... Delicious all around and worth the trip. Small, very small inside, with very limited seating so heads up.

Easily one of the best little spots for good eats on a budget! 10 fried dumplings and 4 spring rolls... $5 total! So small it's practically a hidden gem in the L.E.S.
