Some of the best food in Chinatown, hands down. Notable for being able to watch your dumplings being made in the window. Greasy as hell, but what else do you want when you're getting dumplings?! They also have a great menu besides dumplings, too - their soups in particular. The hot & sour is probably the best I've ever had. Their noodles are great too.
A lot of people remember this as a dive, but no longer - a recent update to their decor was very welcome. I've noticed a lot of people posting reviews criticizing the service ... I can understand, as they're unapologetic in how quick and impersonal they are. But given that there is almost always a line out of the door (especially at lunch & dinner), I appreciate being seated quickly, and getting my food equally fast. Never waited in line for more than 5 minutes, even when it's packed.
