Just read some of the reviews on here and they must have gone to the wrong place !!! I got the 13 pork dumplings for $5 and they were excellent !!! Tasty fresh and fried !!! Best dumplings I’ve had whilst here !! Highly recommend

Ok it’s a given $5 for a box of dumplings. Pay your money take your chance! Worst dumplings I have ever eaten. They were stuck together and had no flavour. Can’t say they had been near any hot oil. Then we move on to the...lady serving. She was rude & obnoxious shouting either “five dollar ten dollar”. Left my box of dumplings on the side without saying anything. I could look past the rude service as it is a cheap eat but the food is terrible. Save your $5 and the ear bashing you at the same time!More

Every positive thing you’ve read is true. Probably the single best food item in the entire city. Tip: walk in, hand the lady a five dollar bill, get your dumplings and walk out. Unless you speak mandarin there’s no point in asking questions or lingering...about. I’m pretty sure the lady working knew two phrases: “five dollars,” and “wait outside.” There may be some sauce on the counter behind the line, or there may not be. Doesn’t matter either way. The things are fine by themselves. Do not go to NYC without going there.More

The dumplings have relatively thick skin. The pork and chive filling is under-seasoned - pimping with some vinegar and chili sauce is absolutely necessary! As of September 2022, the smallest portion of 13 mini dumplings cost $5. Relatively cheap compared to others in the vicinity.

Authentic, tasty and great value. No reason to not grab quick a quick street food bite to stroll around China town. Will return when in the area for sure. Lots of food though, hard to finish even splitting it. Had sriracha out but didn’t see...the vinegar and soy sauce. Understood me ordering the small. And two ladies were working. Support these lovely types of businesses.More

Having wandered through Chinatown a few times on previous visits to NYC, I am mortified to admit I hadn’t ever stopped for food. Not this time though, this time I came planned and prepared to take on the best Chinatown has to offer and “Fried...Dumplings” came up on a number of reviews I’d read so off I embarked to find it. Located on Mosco St, this little hole in the wall has very limited standing area for ordering, no seating and even more limited English. Truthfully my absolute lack of mandarin doesn’t help at all, so the fact the lady in the shop knew enough English to pity me was the only reason I came away with what I went in for! I opted for the roast pork and chive fried dumplings and WOW! If the crazy 15 dumpling portion size wasn’t enough, they are packed with flavour and character! Whilst the little place doesn’t look much, the age old saying “Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover” comes to mind!More

Good value for money - 15 pieces of dumplings for 5$! Very small place no seating area you have to take the food away. They do basically nothing else the whole day only those dumplings. No one speaks English there. Cash only payment. The filling...is very good the dough it difficult to digest to mich flour for my stomach, but it is a good quick bite to share when in the neighbourhood.More

Hole in wall, as others have mentioned. 1 staff member, 1 stove, a whole lot of dumplings. Reminiscent of an open kitchen in Asia. Prices are now $5 for 15 or $10 for 30 for dumplings (so like 33c per piece). Couldn't find the soy...sauce or vinegar. Limited English - if you speak some Mandarin, it might help. You should be able to point at the menu and grunt. Best value dumplings I have ever had in my entire life (compared to home in Australia). To top it all off, the dumplings are actually pretty decent quality. I don't think you can go wrong here.More

Hole in the wall takeout on side street in Chinatown- best dumplings around! Employee said “small or large?” and gave a price ($5 for 17 dumplings), we paid and walked to a nearby park to sit and enjoy the fried dumplings. Absolutely delicious and one...of our favourite parts of our NYC trip.More

I love coming to Fried Dumpling. The dumplings are excellent and so well cooked. The cook/owner was having a special on Chinese New Year, either that or it was a marketing ploy. She was selling 17 dumplings for $5.00 or 30 for $10.00. I opted...for the 17. I never thought I could eat 17 dumplings but I made my way to the nearby park and devoured all of them in about ten minutes. These delicious little dumplings were perfectly fried in oil and were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and had the nice flavor of pork and chives. They are just excellent. The woman that does all the cooking is a real character and does such a nice job in her store.More

I just happened upon this little gem and so happy I did! Not only are the dumplings scrumptious but it's entertaining too. The woman who waited on me barely spoke English, pretty much told me what I was going to have and barked the amount...at me. Hilarious! I loved it and loved the yummy tasty dumplings. You must visit this hole in the wall Fried Dumpling establishment! You won't be sorry, I promise!More

Very simple menu. Pretty much Dumplings and that’s it. But they are good and cheap. A small counter to sit and eat at. Probably room for about 5 people. It was quiet when I went. I ate waaaaay too many. Cos they were yummy. Cheapest...lunch I had on my whole trip.More
