best fried dumplings in chinatown, period. i make a point to get the large every time i come to nyc. price is impossible to beat (26 for $10!!) but bring cash!

Fried Dumpling is exactly what it should be and nothing more. A tiny, unassuming takeout spot on Mosco Street where you go for one thing and one thing only: cheap, satisfying dumplings. Service is fast and straightforward. You order, you pay, and your dumplings come out quick. The fried dumplings are crispy on the outside with a savory filling and the portions are generous for the price. It’s not gourmet, but it absolutely hits the spot, especially when you want something filling without spending much. What really makes this place special is that it feels like one of the last remaining truly cheap dumpling spots left in Chinatown. In a neighborhood where prices keep creeping up, Fried Dumpling still delivers solid food at a price that feels like old Chinatown. No seating, no frills, cash only. Get in, get your dumplings, and get out. Perfect for a quick bite and a Chinatown classic that deserves to stick around.

The service was so fast we didn't even know our dumplings were done! We got 13 dumplings for $5. What a killer deal! Once person could definitely eat it all, but it was also plenty to share. Not quite sure what type of chili sauce was available to put on the dumplings but it was so good. The inside of the dumplings were a little dry for my liking, but overall the flavor was good.

Best dumplings I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. $5 for 13 or $10 for 26 — cash only. The value is unreal. Crispy bottoms, juicy filling, perfectly seasoned, and served hot and fresh. The line moves quickly, and it looked like a single older woman was running the entire place herself — major respect. We literally ate them standing in the street during a festival and it was perfect. Went back later for more and they had already closed — next time I’m ordering the large. A must-stop in Chinatown.

Super cheap and yummy dumpling. We visited this little late but there are still a lot of customers outside. Bad I think when there are more customer, they tend to quick fried the dumplings- they were not crunchy enough like the pictures Out of siuchan (??) sauce but no refill 😭 the hot sauce go well with dumplings tho Really oily- so I recommend you to try 5$ portion first before buying the 10 Best Only serve 1 dish, no thinking, no hesitation, just enjoy the food You cant find such cheap and good dumplings anywhere else like this Filling is yummy, fresh The skin is chewy, soft- im pretty sure they freshly made Definitely will visit again, but not frequently
