Tried their steamed and pan fried chive and pork dumplings. The pan fried dumplings weren't crispy. The streamed dumpling was good with soy sauce and vinegar. Their dough is quite thick. There's a few bar seats but it's a very small store. Bring cash.

I’m surprised I never reviewed this place. I’ve been going here for years. I like the hot and sour soup which is $2 and that it opens late! The wontons have a nice flavor although I like it more meaty. Personally not a fan of the vegetable dumplings.

Literal hole in the wall serving up hot eats from guotie to zhajiangmian and shaobing, we stumbled upon it after a day out in the neighborhood.

This spot is counter service with very little seats, great for when you want a quick bite or takeout.

Inhaled our orders so quickly that I forgot to take photos of most of our food.

All their items are made fresh on the premises, we saw two aunties in the back diligently wrapping up dumplings and were happy that they offered frozen dumplings for takeout!

I love this place. The dumplings are honest. It's one of those places that isn't much of a looker but their is a treasure inside. The chive and pork dumplings are pan fried deliciousness. The chive pancakes love you back. The dumpling soup is soothing in a cooler night.

FIVE STARS ALL AROUND. The best dumplings at the best price!!! You can watch them hand make the dumpling dough and stuff them with filling as you wait for your order. A gem of a spot in LES with prices that are just as rare. 10 dumplings for $4! CASH ONLY!!! And don’t forget a sesame pancake, I saw it in other reviews + it was fresh from the oven, completely lived up to the hype! I will be back + look forward to trying their soups!

Favorite dumpling spot in NYC. Fantastic price for food incredibly flavorful dumplings -$5 for 10. Their sesame pancake is fluffy and delicious, and their noodles r also a great tasty treat. An awesome spot - it is a small homey store front with a few tables. cash only!

My partner and I come here regularly and are never disappointed.

Highly highly recommend!

Great dumplings (4/5) at a super duper cheap price ($5). You get about 10 savory pork dumplings with your order and they're very much worth it. They're not super crispy because they've pre cooked lots of them to keep the line moving, but it's excellent for the price. The chive buns (3.5/5) were crispy and hot but I didn't like filling that much.

Great hidden gem in downtown Chinatown. Their dumplings are flavorful and cooked to perfection. Did I mention price? The lowest I’ve seen in this economy! Service was great. Not a lot of space inside but it’s part of the charm. Feels like an authentic chinese kitchen. The beef noodle soup was rich and the beef was very well seasoned and packed with flavor. I finished every last drop.

Great mom and pop shop, not many left so support them while you can!
