“Pork and leek dumplings $1 for 4
Porky goodness, the skin is perfect and doesn't fall apart.”
“1 beef stew noodle soup + 1 wonton noodle soup + 12 fried dumplings + 1 can of diet Coke = $10
$10 = full meal for two!”
“If you've even been to Vanessa's, Prosperity's or T-Spot dumpling houses in Manhattan, this place is comparable to those, if not sometimes better (depends on how fresh off the wok it is).”

I gave it a 5 stars before but the magic went away after seeing a family of roaches just happened to cross the counter and into the little crack…which was the barrier between people waiting for their orders and the food itself in the kitchen.
Normally for me it's if it's out of sight it's out of mind. Now it kinda bothers me so I guess I'll take a break eating from here…
But food is still cheap and yummy.
Things I tried.
Sesame pancake
Scallion pancake
Beef stew
Wonton soup
I decided to make the trip up here in order to get frozen dumplings for us for dinner. But it was also lunchtime and I hadn't eaten yet- and kinda wanted to know what I'd be serving for dinner, too. I got pork fried buns and the pork and leek dumplings, along with the frozen dumplings. Both were amazing- I'm pretty sure it was the same filling in both, just a different wrapper. The dumplings had the crispy part that I love about pan fried dumplings, and there was a good balance of dough to filling. Same for the fried buns- just that these were the fried/steamed bun dough as opposed to dumpling. I've never had a huge appetite, but the dumplings and fried buns filled me up! Not bad at all for $2.25 (fried buns are 3/$1.25, price changed since last reviews mentioning price. But still worth it.)
stopped in for a quick dinner after reading such good reviews. the place is small- 4 tables. the wait time for food was unbelievably quick, and like everyone else mentioned – unbelievably cheap. we had the dumplings which were decent, the beef stew noodles soup – which for the price, cant complain although ive had better. tried the spring roll which was a disappointment but again for the price – cant complain. and also had the wonton soup which was half canto style- half fj style? wasnt as big as the canto wontons but wasnt as small as a fj wonton soup. decent but not too flavorful. the meal for 2 was $9. cant complain.
$1 dumplings make the world a better place. They are so good! Quick and easy lunch or snack. The scallion pancake is also pretty good, but greasier than others I've had. I had the beef soup with thick noodles (I don't know what they're called). I didn't like this as much, but it was filling and cheap, and the noodles were yummy. This place is just down the street from me. I will be a frequent visitor.
The shui zien bao aren't bad, particularly at 3 for a dollar. The meat is well flavored with some delicious bits of mushroom for a little zing. Sadly they're not made to order. The shao bing with beef combines a good bing and some good beef but could really use some sauce (like hoisin or plum) to make the whole thing gel. Too bad they have neither (they've got chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and sriracha). So BYOHoisin,
Just one block away from Maimo, makes for a convenient and cheap place for lunch or a quick bite! Honestly wish they were 24 hours. I've been there a couple times for lunch now, and you just can't beat $1 for 4 (decently sized) pork and leek dumplings. Get 2 orders for a filling $2 meal. For some variety, get one order of dumplings plus a $4 noodle soup dish for a $5 meal. Amazing.
There is a small amount of seating inside, and also adjacent to the main ordering window. I haven't actually eaten inside, but it seems cramped, hot, and doesn't have the cleanest feel. The wait during lunch time can be on the longer side given its popularity.
As with most small Chinese restaurants, this place is cash only.
dumplings on FLEEK… or should i say on LEEK?
(sorry, bad jokes)
But yes, if you want some good cheap late night chinese food such as dumplings or noodle soup check this place out.
dumplings are 4 for $1 and they are packed with juicy flavor. make sure you still put on some sriracha for some heat.
The beef stew noodle soup is very tasty too. if you want some warm broth, it's a good choice. Just don't drink the whole thing because it can get salty.

$1 for 4 cheap and tasty dumplings.
Dumplings are constantly being made so expect them to be fresh. I usually get the pork and chive dumplings. They're crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside.
I seldom dine in here. I've used the restroom years back and it was not a friendly sight. You're better off taking your order to go.
If you're taking your order to go, the take-out boxes will make your dumplings slightly soggy from the moisture/steam.
