I live in Chinatown and have tried tons of dumplings throughout the area. These are incredible. They have thin, crispy and chewy skins which taste different than other dumpling places. They have pork and vegetable dumplings and you can also get them boiled too. Try them... It is worth the trip!!Don't plan on eating inside the joint as it is much too small and the line is pretty long on occasion. It is better to take them out and go to the running track and park between Forsyth and Christie St and enjoy them there. They are a bargain.

I'm a vegetarian so I only sampled two menu items: the steamed vegetable dumplings (good but not fantastic) and the sesame pancake with vegetables which are probably the freshest, tastiest food you can get for 1.00 in NYC. I took a young friend from Korea there. She had traveled extensively in China and was delighted as it reminded her of Chinese street food. The cooks don't speak a lot of English but are friendly and very accommodating. There are maybe 6 stools at 2 small counters, but if the weather isn't too hot (I don't think they have A/C), it can be a fun place to eat. However if it appears too cramped, there is a park less than a block away. Enjoy.
