Juices such as Watermelon, Papaya, Longan, and Lychee provide refreshing, naturally sweet complements to the savory dishes, each served at pocket-friendly prices.

Definitely hole in the wall, can be tricky to find depending on your navigation system. Located downstairs, in old mall setting which has lost most of tenants. This place worth the search with freshly made dumplings, great service and great food, especially the dumplings. Did I mention the great price and great food. Perfectly steamed dumplings not over done, great fresh filling. Sauce little milder than I would like, some chili oil would be perfect with it. Start the treasure hunt search this place out. The do bulk orders, plenty people picking up orders, and watching them masher fresh dumplings and buns.
Traveling from Boston to visit this literally hole-on-the-wall place in an abandoned mall under Manhattan bridge in NYC. Service is very quick and food quality is good. The price is very affordable. I spent 16 bucks for a portion that camould feed 2 to 3 people. The atmosphere is quite fun as we share limited eating space with complete strangers.
A native New Yorker who had been to this spot brought us here. There were no signs and we walked into what seemed like a long ago forgotten place...it was surreal and I almost wondered if we were going to be murdered...but alas, we got to the windowless basement and placed our order for the fried and steamed dumplings, sat at one of the 3 tiny tables and devoured them. Best dumplings I ever had, so reasonably priced it's crazy, and I want to get them again. Soon!
Amazing dumplings. Cash only but super affordable. 6 soup dumplings for $5 and they’re so flavorful! Tough to find: head into what looks like an abandoned mall then take the stairs down to the lower level and you’ll find it there. Tables and chairs for dining.
Literal hole-in-the-wall spot in the basement of an abandoned mall in Chinatown — the environment is rough, but the dumplings and bao buns coming out of the (shockingly) clean kitchen were on point. Super flavorful and definitely worth the stop. A dope little spot if you want that real New York City experience.
The steam meat buns are very tasty, mind you when people on instagram said its juicy but in fact its oily as you can see from my pic. On the other hand, the potstickers are good too. $5.50 for 6 steam buns are super bun cheap !!
