Tasty Dumpling

A Chinatown dumpling counter that serves some very tasty dumplings in styrofoam to-go containers (or styrofoam plates if you want to sit at one of the few tables). Nothing fancy, just classic, reliable dumplings. They do have some noodle dishes and soups, but you can skip those and go straight to the dumplings. This is definitely as stick-to-what-you know type of place that serves only traditional dumpling combinations (there is no fiddling with American flavors or inspiration). Come here for New York's BEST crispy, yet super doughy fried pork and chive dumplings. You won't find any thin and stretchy dumpling wrappers here. Did we mention that these are also New York's CHEAPEST dumplings (3$ for ten dumplings and 9$ for 50 frozen dumplings)?

This is all you need to know about the menu at Tasty Dumpling:

1. Fried (or boiled) pork and chive dumplings

2. Fried (or boiled) pork and cabbage dumplings

3. Boiled shrimp and chive dumplings

4. Boiled vegetable dumplings

Fried pork and chive dumplings...ORDER THESE and then order seconds (unless you are a vegetarian). p.s. They do come with 5 dumplings but we couldn't resist eating one before taking a picture

Boiled pork and chive? Boiled vegetable? Boiled shrimp and chive? We don't quite remember which variety of boiled dumplings these were, but we do know that they were delicious and that you should go get some.
