Jin Mei Dumpling - Table reservation

The lady who runs the place is SO nice.  Even if she doesn’t speak english very well, she has the greatest smile — always very welcoming!  She was laughing at me a whole lot when she saw me taking pictures of my favorite dumplings.  I’ll find a way to drag Clarice there to tell her that it’s my favorite dumpling place in Chinatown! If you’re ever in this area of Chinatown or if you’re in Chinatown at all, please… find your way to this tiny dumpling shop to experience some of the best cheap eats you’ll find in NYC.  If you’re not in the mood to eat but you still want to take them home, I’d suggest going with the Frozen Dumplings.  30 pieces for $5!! What a great deal no? Comments TAGS Chives...

Talk about a deal! Wow, 15 dumplings for $5. Hard to beat that. A Chef friend took me to his spot she discovered accidentally. We had the pork and chives fried dumpling. They are hand rolled . Some may have had a harder skin than the rest but still tasted good. The filling was fresh, moist and flavorful. Definitely want to go back and try the other dishes like their noodles and soup. It's cash only, no frills. Fran and go. They have a couple of chair in front. It's a quiet street. We ate in front of a stoop. People were cool about it.

Went here a couple years back and the food tasted like it’s been sitting for some time. Came across TikTok’s reviewing their buns, I had my doubts and went back again. To my disappointment it was not very good. The breading is super thick. Don’t recommend

One of my favorite places for great dumplings!! I wouldn’t ever mind spending 5 dollars for 15 dumplings every time!! They’re worth the price and money and travel over!

The dumplings were amazing but the pork buns tasted weird. You can’t be mad though because for $10 we got 15 dumplings and like 10 pork buns
