Delicious!. I've been to the 23rd St. location a few times & just tried the 8th St. one last night. I love these nicely-sized dumplings, they're soo comforting, perfectly cooked & really tasty! I've had the Thai basil dumplings (the peanut noodle soup is scrumptious, very flavorful) & the shrimp dumplings in the delicious mushroom soup. I was surprised at how much I liked the wasabi dipping sauce because while I like a little wasabi, I'm not a huge fan; the sauce had just a bit of kick & was very savory. I so appreciate Rickshaw's different varieties of dumplings, soups & salads, & want to keep trying MORE of them! I guess my only problem is the soup OR salad option... I love both so if they could swing a combo w/ BOTH soup & salad, in smaller portions, that would be divine. The location is clean, comfy & seems like a place you could hunker down at for a while w/ a book, tea & dumplings (at least on a weeknight). Sure you could probably get cheaper dumplings in Chinatown but when you don't have the time to schlep down there, this hits the spot. I could eat some again right now, & I was just there! :)

Editorial Review. The second outpost of the popular dumpling house gets a location even closer to NYU students.
