The Original Dumpling Shop

Food tastes great. However, the new white boxes they are using to serve food in are absolute garbage. The boxes leak and get saturated by the gravy inside of it sooo badly that even the napkins that were in the bag got wet too. I guess they are trying to find the cheapest option to serve food in that’s y they stopped serving in the plastic containers but this is horrible. By the time I got to my destination which was 15 minutes from the store, the box was just seeping fluid. Nov 26, 2025

This is my local go to stop when I come to New York, I stop here as soon as I get off the plane. You cant replicate it no matter how many shops get open, its a flavors taste and dumpling as always soft even over 24hours. Its a must go to spot.

I usually stop by this place to get fried dumplings and whitings with plantains. The dumplings are not bad. It's just a little greasy for me. The plantains are also greasy, and sometimes a little burn. They only give you like 3-4 tiny pieces of plantains (they dont cut them like the realize size). The whitings are not bad either. They are usually nice and fresh. It could take a little more salt, but I know they probably don't want to add anymore due to people having hypertension. The escovitch seasoning(onion, pepper, and carrots) is actually really good. To get extra, you have to pay 15 cents. Which I don't mind. But I just don't see the extra on the plate. The servers are polite but move a little too slow in serving the food. I do enjoy their chicken soup. It has pumpkin and all the othe

The food here is solid; definitely better than the nearby competition BUT that’s where the praise ends. The service is CONSISTENTLY slow, whether in person or via delivery. It feels like the owners were more focused on trying to shut down a competing restaurant than on building a customer friendly experience OF THEIR OWN. Ironically, while not good on food, the other place offers a more welcoming atmosphere and service. Despite having plenty of space, there’s nowhere to sit. The layout and planning seem rushed and not well thought out. It’s disappointing when BUSINESSES FORGET that customers always have the option to spend their money elsewhere. If more people spoke up and expected better, especially when CHOOSING where to spend their money, maybe we’d all get better service. Because if we

The food is pretty good but its insane that the service is so slow and some of the workers as so rude. Makes you feel like you’re begging for food. I’m a person who’s on the go a lot so I typically place orders online for pick up to avoid the line a waiting. First off I understand the move to having the uber/doordash pick ups wait outside to pick up orders so they don’t block the way. But have regular customers stand outside in the cold waiting is crazy to me. It would be different if you placed your order and went to go pick it up and it was ready so you’re just grabbing and going but the process is nothing like that. I always place my orders 20-30 mins before I head over to pick it up cause I understand that they have to take care of other customers and other orders. I don’t even mind
