Was a bit hungry and walked past this place so we gave it a try. We ordered the chicken dumplings with everything on it and they was excellent. The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because the portion size for $5 was too small.
Walked out of the West 3rd subway stop last night and saw a Russian Dumpling trucks. Rubbed my eyes but it was still there. I was both have and jealous, because I've had this idea for years and knew it was only a matter of time until someone more enterprising than myself would jump on the food truck/street food craze with a kettle of pelmeni.
As for the dumplings, they're tiny, but good. Grilling the boiled pelmeni is a nice touch, and I like the assortment of toppings and sauces. If only there was more meat in the Siberian pelmeni. Also, the sour cream was dolloped rather economically, but I'll just ask for more next time. Solid job so far.
Black and red caviar are also advertised at insane premiums. I assume this is a viral marketing ploy because few people ordering $5 street dumplings will shell out $25 for red caviar…but this is Manhattan, so what do I know?
I'll have to rip my shirt off for a free order at some point.
I walk by this dumpling cart nearly every weekday on my way to school and finally had occasion to try it today. They have a few different kinds of dumplings: potato, chicken, Siberian, and a special of the day. They also have a variety of free toppings, including sour cream, chives, and dill.
I'm pretty disappointed. First, the serving size is tiny. Granted I ordered the smaller size, but it was barely enough to constitute a snack. I had to eat a granola bar afterward to stave off starvation. Perhaps I would have been slightly more satisfied with the $9 portion, but that seems like a lot to pay for a snack from a food cart.
Second, the flavor was meh. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Maybe I had built it up too much in my head.
Third, and most significantly, the dumplings are frozen and not freshly made. I actually saw the man open the bag to cook them. By then it was too late to cancel my order, so I just dealt with it.
Again, if you're in a hurry and want something different, it's not a horrible choice. I wouldn't seek it out, and I see no reason to go again.
I've walked by this mysterious, soviet food truck a bunch of times at night with electronic music bumping. Today, after getting off the PATH train at west 9th, I had a small appetite before dinner. I browsed the menu, and thought that for $5 a small serving of dumplings would satiate both my hunger and curiousity about the vendor.
Their was no line and the sole employee was friendly. I ordered the potato dumplings and they were served up in 3-4 minutes. I added soy sauce, although their were a couple of other options for toppings, as well as seperate salt and pepper condiments in front. The employee also offered a free pickle to go with the 6 or so little dumplings and I gladly accepted.
The dumplings were delicious! They were soft, warm, and moist. I liked how you eat them with those pitchfork like plastic utensils they give you at Nathans to eat french fries (very boardwalk/brighton beach). I think I scarfed them all down within 5 minutes and could have easily eaten 15-20. I'd like to try the chicken dumplings next time and would certainly bring friends here to try something different.
