Every time I come to New York, this place is a MUST. I don't care what the weather is like, I will make the trek down to Chinatown for their seafood dumplings. I have even had the...

Excellent soup 10/14/2006

The entrees here are mediocre, but I have nothing but good things to say about the soups. For under $5 you get a huge amount of soup that is filling and delicious. I'd recommend the grilled pork chop and double sauteed pork soups. In general, stick with the cheap stuff (soup, dumplings, "rice cake") and you'll be okay. It's crowded but I haven't ever had a problem finding a seat (I've eaten here late night, for lunch on a weekend, dinner on a weekday, etc.) Pros: delicious cheap food more

Excellent Dumpling Soup 12/23/2003

I don't care for the entrees, but the chicken dumpling soup is delicious! It's listed under appetizers, but it's definitely filling enough to have as a meal. more

Quick and easy 11/9/2003

This small but tasteful "hole in the wall" has some really good stuff. I had the chicken dumpling soup which perfect for a cold day. Then I had a hot big dish of Sizzling Beef fried noodle with Black bean sauce. Hit the spot. Came to 11 bucks. Worth every penny. Small and you sit with strangers. Ugly decor. Mint green tiles. But who cares. more

Sufficiently Mediocre. 1/9/2003

The food was fine. The place was crowded. Not extraordinarily authentic, although more so than your average take-out joint. Sufficiently mediocre. more

An untapped resource. Great food from a hole in the wall. The chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce on rice is perfect for dinner and lunch the next day more

Wontons and Scalliion Pancake - the best 7/27/2002

Cheap, delicious, and never suffering from the heaviness and greasiness of too many other Chinese restaurants - the food has the good qualities of expensive Chinese for a pittance. more

It's only good if you're not Chinese 7/17/2002

The people who gave Excellent ""Dumpy"" House ratings of 10 are obviously not Chinese. Only tourists eat here because they're fooled by the name ""Excellent Dumpling House."" Admittedly, the dumplings are pretty decent, but they're not as great as some people would have you believe. more
