North Dumpling - Broad Channel

Located in Chinatown, hardly 6 mins walk from Delancy Essex st subway station, this is one of the go to places for dumplings. The place is a small one with limited seating and as the Chinese restaurants are they don't focus much on the ambiance rather let the food do the talking! The service is pretty fast too! I ordered a noodle with meat and vegetable sauce. The sauce was good and didn't feel anything like spicy or something while the noodles when served hot were enjoyable, I guess they had shredded pork meat in that sauce. Overall a good experience but the quantity could have been better. Another one was supposed to be veg pancake but unfortunately they were out of it so got replaced by veg dumping. The dumpling has cabbage, ginger and a bit of onion as the filling, wish they had given soy sauce on the side and it would have been better. Overall a pocket friendly place but the quantity definitely is less compared to the other Chinese restaurants I've visited.

I have gone here in the past and never had a problem. But last night i definitely got food poisoning from here. Ugh

Got the boiled chive and pork dumplings. they were cooked to order and perfectly warming on a cold rainy day. there's no detectable chive flavor. these should really be called pork and ginger dumplings, as those are the two flavors that come through. there's also an extra kick of sweetness from corn, which give these dumplings a rather distinct taste. they're also the most homemade feeling of the chinatown's most famous dumplingries. oh, and like king dumplings, the pork mixture is colored dark by soy sauce which is not characteristic of northern style dumplings. wonder where the name comes from?

Hole in the wall, with some great food! Cash only. Be sure to try the pancakes, they were really good.

The perfect hole in the wall dumpling spot(more than dumplings though! . Been going here for over a decade. Atmosphere is simple, but calming. Seward Park is across the way if you want to have a little picnic. I never leave the LES/Chinatown without buying a bag of frozen dumplings to take home after eating everything on the menu. highly recommend.
