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.

Was staying nearby while visiting NYC and found via Google Maps. Seem to bleed money when in this city, so wanted something cheap for dinner. Our order for four: 1x spring rolls (4), 1x sesame pancakes (2), 1x chive pancakes (2), 1x large won ton soup, 1x large sweet and sour soup, 2x pan fried pork dumplings (20), 1x steamed veggie dumplings (10, 1x kimchi, and 2 cans of Pepsi, for a grand total of - drumroll please - $25. Whaaaaat????? Everything was fresh and delicious. The sesame pancakes were in fact divine. The kimchi and s&s soup could have been more sour, but that’s a tiny inconvenience. Attached is a photo of our leftovers. Highly recommend!

Yes!!!! Incredible price for the food. 4 spring rolls for $2 - would have loved to try them fresh but was there at 9pm on a Sunday. Even then, they were yummy.The fried pork dumplings are delicious, juicy and crispy. So tasty with a bit of sriracha and soy sauce. Caution: they do dilute their soy sauce with white vinegar. Didn't bother me, but be wary of the sour taste.They offer some canned drinks as well - they sold me an Arizona tea at cost ($1) and that's when I knew I fell in love.Sesame pancake would taste better fresh I'm sure...but when the total meal for 2 people is less than $8, you can't complain :)

Yeah, it's not the cleanest place (it's not gross, either). Sure there's barely any place to sit. But the food is mind-numbingly good (my mouth quite literally started to salivate the moment I took a bite out of the first chives and pork steamed dumpling), and it is hilariously, almost unbelievably cheap. Like, I ordered 10 chives and pork steamed dumplings, 4 spring rolls, and 2 pancakes, plus one can of soda, and it cost me a grand total of... $9.50. That's food for two persons, for less than 10 bucks, in Manhattan. Summary: if you like small, ethnic, hole-in-the-wall places, come here ASAP, you won't regret it.

Excellent dumplings, we got the sesame pancake and the pork and leek dumplings. Quick turnaround, highly recommend.

So I was quite excited about trying the dumplings here because of the high ratings- but I was quite disappointed. I got the steam pork and vegetable dumplings, unfortunately I think my frozen dumplings taste better- the skin of the dumplings were sooo thick that they almost felt like a bun. The filling of the pork dumpling was good though. 3 star because it’s cheap, def would not return.

I come here often for lunch. Great vegetarian dumplings and the best price you’ll find for dumplings in the area

Very friendly, very cheap and good Chinese dumplings! Super friendly service, it's small place,but really clean and nice!

Small hole in the wall dumping joint in the LES. I swear this place has been around forever. It's not as popular or as tasty as Vanessa's or King's but I assure you that it's a pretty close second. The place is not that clean looking mostly due to the decor and age of the building. They have soup noodles and sesame pancakes also. 4 fried dumps for a $1.25. Get 8 dumps, a sesame pancake with beef and some spring rolls all around $5! One of the last cheap remaining Chinatown style eats.

This is it right here! Best and delicious dumplings in town. Order frozen bag of 25 dumplimgs for 8 dollars to take home or have a seat if there is one available and chow down! DELICIOUS!!!! North Dumplings have a pretty long menu though... I always go for what you see below in picture.

10 pork and chive dumplings for 3.50. AMAZING Also 50 frozen dumplings to take home for $10

One of the most authentic dumplings places in China town NYC. Family owned business. Northeastern style.

For the price, an excellent find for quick, fast and freshly made dumplings! Like most dumpling shops, the interior isn't ideal for a nice, sit down meal. It's a grab and go kind of place. Cash only. We ordered the pork chive pan fried and steamed dumplings. $3 for 10! And only $1 for the scallion pancake. The filling was plentiful. We liked the pan fried dumplings better because the stuffing inside had a firmer texture than the steamed ones. Pretty authentic with the Asian ladies in their tiny back kitchen stuffing the dumplings.
