Bargain dumplings

let's be honest: the dumplings here are middling at best. skip 'em & splurge on the wontons in chili oil for $4—they're delicious! easily one of the best things you can eat in all of nyc for under $5.

The dumplings aren't the best in Chinatown, but their crisp, doughnut-light sesame pancakes stuffed with meat and vegetables are great.

This awesome dumpling house will fill you up! Get the sesame pancake and pair it with the hot and sour soup. Yum!

Real hard to get a seat. Have one person get in line and order while the other snags a place to sit. Teamwork.

Try the pork and chive dumplings and spot it on Foodspotting!

For $5 or less, fill up on some of NYC’s greatest cheap dumplings. Try the sesame pancakes for $.50 each and get 3 pork fried buns for $1.

Super cheap, delicious, boiled or fried. Be sure to get a sesame pancake!

This tiny little venue has tiny little prices for their delightful dumplings. The sesame pancakes are also great, and perfect to grab to-go on your way to picnic in the park, just a block west.

You can't come through here without the Peking Duck scallion pancake. Separates this from the uptown location by metaphorical miles.

The pancake lady works 14 hours a day. She is awesome.

Be careful the prices are so low here you'll want to get a lot but you won't be able to finish!! Great value for good solid fast food.

Sesame pancake w/ egg: ask for carrots and cilantro for 50 cents. It only comes with cucumber.

Sesame pork 'sandwich' is simply sublime and not to be missed.

Amazing dumplings. Pork sandwich looked super delicious too (I'm trying that next time). You can try cutting the line by ordering at the window outside, but that's a real crapshoot.
