What People Are Saying About Rickshaw Dumpling Bar

The Scene – Students, area professionals, and those looking for a cheap food fix all hustle in and out of the hip dumpling house. Artful globe lights peer down on the restaurant's simple tables and sleek wood floors. A few seats look onto the sidewalk, but most cluster around the glassed-in kitchen, where diners can watch dumplings being coaxed into existence. – – The Food – Dumplings come in six varieties, each with its own dipping sauce, and can be ordered steamed, fried, or in a noodle soup. None of the flavors are overwhelming, and all taste superlatively fresh.…

$10 for 5 dumplings and a soup?
by LadySnapplesIII at Citysearch
This place was made to cater to the American palette, but if you want real dumplings, don't go here. The dumplings are okay, and it sounds inexpensive, but I didn't think so at all. I've never paid $10 for 5 dumplings in my life! In Chinatown and brooklyn, you can get 4 dumplings for $1, and they taste SO much better!
- Pros: Very cute place, nice atmosphere, fast and friendly service
- Cons: $10 for 5 dumplings?...Really?

finally a student deal at the new one
by dean_perry at Citysearch
first time i went in i paid like $10 for lunch and was like whoa. i just walked by the 8th street store and saw they had an nyu student deal for 7.50 and was psyched. good thing i am spending $100,000 on tuition and housing so i can get this combo meal. i got the szechuan chicken and a miso soup. the szechuan dumplings are actually spicy (i hate it when they say things are spicy and aren't) the one thing about it is that the container for the dipping sauce is a pain in the dumpling because i spilled it the first time and i spilled it yesterday trying to open it.
- Pros: go student power
- Cons: hard to open sauce lids
