Editorial Review for Fried Dumpling – by Janet Tzou
The Scene
There are exactly three small tables at this tiny hole in the wall, but for food lovers on a budget, it's heaven. Five juicy, tender dumplings ring in at $1, so two people can eat themselves silly for under $10. The two condiment bottles on the table provide all that you need: a tangy blend of vinegar and soy sauce in one, and spicy chili sauce in the other.
The Food
The fried or boiled dumplings come in either pork or veggie and are handmade with a fragrant dose of chives. But don't overlook the other tasty Shanghainese treats: da bing (plump, sesame-encrusted "pancakes" that are steamed first and then fried); fried round pork buns; tea eggs; perfectly savory hot and sour soup; congee (a thickened rice and red bean soup--ask for sugar); and, to perfectly complement your meal, all the fresh, hot, high-protein soy milk that you can drink (try it sweetened).

Cons: Service, Lack of English

Since I live in the neighborhood, I go here a lot. The price is cheap - 5 dumplings for $1. You get a good "show". It's entertaining to watch them make them. They're also good tasting! There's no room to really sit and enjoy there, but there's a park half a block away, so take them there and bask in the sun.
Pros: Dumplings
Cons: No seating
