I love coming to this little hole in the wall dumpling place right off Mott Street. You get 13 dumplings for $5.00 and little dumplings are excellent. Just put a little vinegar and soy sauce on them and it really brings out the flavor of them. The ladies who work here are really nice and like it when you tell them how much you like their dumplings.

A very simple restaurant, a Chinese grandmother who prepares all day only 1 course: ravioli cooked in oil. The only thing you choose will be size, 13 ravioli for $5 or 30 ravioli for $10. So everything will depend on the size of your stomach because they are quite hearty. Very good address I recommend, especially for people not wanting to put $20 in a sandwich.

If you’re on jury duty in Manhattan and want a quick and delicious lunch walk over from the court buildings across Columbus park. Dumplings are “$5,” “$10.” 13 dumplings or 26 dumplings. They’re delicious. Two high stools, so plan on eating in the park. There’s also soup and buns. Makes the long day of waiting to be called worth it.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

My daughter discovered this place. She loves dumplings and was on a tight budget. Apparently there can be queues. The menu is succinct and the prices are right. The two women run a tight ship and you can buy frozen dumplings to cook at home.

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!

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.

I have literally been going to Fried Dumpling for over 10 years now. The quality is the same and I can not visit NYC without a visit or two to this delicious little nook in Chinatown. The dumplings are too die for and have remained consistently so for as long as I can remember.

I literally cannot say enough great things about Fried Dumpling. I have been going for years and it is so consistently good. I NEVER visit NYC without coming here for some dumplings (and to buy frozen ones to take home). This place is a Chinatown Gem!

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.

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.
