Plump Dumpling

Cheap and delicious $12 lunch specials (12-3pm) come with a spring roll and entree with lots of vegetarian options. Owner is super friendly. It’s a quirky East Village gem that recalls an older New York in vibe and in menu prices. Happy to recommend and look forward to going back soon.

Forget all these reviews. Here’s the legit one. First this place is called “Love Mama” Plump Dumpling was the old name. Secondly their Uncle Plump’s Dumplings 10/10!!! The peanut sauce is to die for!! It’s so creamy and you can tell the dumplings are hand made. The minced meat not sure if it’s pork (confirm with server) but it’s frigging amazing. I’m a dumpling fanatic and this spot was literally everything that I was looking for . Cheap, Very Comfortable on a nice night , and the workers are super attentive. They made sure i was taken care to the absolute best. I have tasted better bubble tea however it’s calm i can tell it isn’t there specialty so don’t expect it to be perfect 🥰.

The service was amazing both the server & what we believed was the owner made small talk with us and were very kind. They were closing soon but they made time for us and gave us time to order and eat at our pace. I had the Basil noodles and the shrimp dumplings and everything was delicious. Washed it down with a cold tiger beer and my night was made. Great prices and they cook quickly.

Avoid this place if you can. Disgusting food, dirty location and horrible service. Welcome to New York! Pho Bo completely tasteless and burned PadThai. Couldn‘t finish it.

Tasted horrible. Shrimp and chicken were cooked last year and the noodles were cooked last week. Photo shows the food AFTER we are done with it. AVOID AT ALL COST!
