New Double Dragon
“I haven't found a place like this that delivers anywhere in the LES/EV.”
“They are soft, tender, thin skinned, hand pressed – with the perfect chopped shrimpy madness enclosed.”

P.s. The crab rangoon or cheese wontons are so addictive it's scary.”

Large portions and cooked very fast. Beef and broc was cooked fresh and not too greasy. The steamed dumplings were also really good and not too chewy. Decent prices for the city. We will order again when in the mood for Chinese take out!
Decent Chinese food, if you are desperate for some Chinese take out and it is past 9pm, then I guess this place will suffice but the quality is pretty bad and the food isn't all that cheap for take out. If you have better options, you should eat there unless like I said you are super desperate
When Double Dragon 2 The Revenge came out for Nintendo Entertainment System, it was a landmark title in the beat em up genre that propelled the way for Final Fight and Streets of Rage by Capcom and Sega respectively. It also helped create a sub-sector known as the button masher beat em up at the arcade which included titles such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, X-Men and my favorite Captain America and the Avengers.
The thing that set apart Double Dragon from its clones is that if you beat the game with the help from a friend, both of you would duke it out to win the affection of the damsel in distress. Imagine if Mario and Luigi had to fight over Princess Peach after tossing King Bowser? Unreal.
Later, when the story of Billy and Jimmy Lee was cooling down in popularity, the developers at Rare had them team up with the Battletoads to take on the dark queen in what was dubbed at the time as "the ultimate team." Battletoads was one of the best games for Nintendo and recently has taken on up some new found acclaim after the CEO of Groupon cited the game in his resignation e-mail or letter a few months ago.
Needless to say, I came in with a lot of expectations associated with the Double Dragon moniker. Please add a star if you haven't played the Double Dragon games or aren't familiar with Battletoads. The pedigree was too strong and these guys couldn't live up to my lofty expectations.
Going over the food for a second, Everything was just ok but overly salty. I live just outside of Chinatown in the East Village, so I either have to accept there isn't a go-to standard Chinese takeout restaurant in this area or hop the train downtown to greener pastures.
It's super typical cheap chinese takeout- and the whole situation is quite bittersweet..
I love dumplings and live within a few minutes of both Prosperity and Vanessa's… So a single $1 bill is my idea of proper dumpling currency.
But this place has the best steamed shrimp dumplings ever… and the $5 price tag does not even make me flinch. They are soft, tender, thin skinned, hand pressed – with the perfect chopped shrimpy madness enclosed. Freakin lovely. Perfectly served with this delicious garlic, hot peppered dumpling sauce.. I nearly drank the remaining sauce.
They deserve 4 stars for one single delicacy: the steamed shrimp dumplings.
