Jin Mei Dumpling

***15 DUMPLINGS FOR $5 CASH***🤯🫠🤤❤️🥟 Jim Mei Dumpling, affectionately known as the Dumpling Lady, is an absolute must-visit. This is a cash-only spot where you can get 15 fresh, handmade dumplings for just $5, which feels almost unreal in NYC. Even on a slow day, expect a short wait of about 5–15 minutes, and it is time well spent. She’s gained well-deserved recognition on social media for her perfectly crafted dumplings, and the praise is completely justified. The dough is incredibly fresh and soft, and the filling is flavorful, balanced, and deeply satisfying. I can honestly say these are the best dumplings I’ve ever had, and Chinese food is my all-time favorite. Every time I’m in the city, I make a point to take the train just to get these one-of-a-kind dumplings. They’re a true flavor

Very good value for the price, dumplings & pork buns were really flavorful. They were so good we had to go back another day to get more. Line moves fast & worth the wait.

Still the best quick fried pork & chive dumpling option in chinatown. Best bang foe your buck in terms of quantity. Quality wise it's freshly made, large, crispy with a golden bottom crust, not too oily, The chili sauce enhances the flavor, very friendly aunties making them in store.

We stopped here on our final day in New York because we heard they had a "15 dumplings for $5" deal. We got the pork and chive fried dumplings which were just fantastic. We ate them standing up by the stoop next door. The lady at the front was so nice, and the service was basically instant.

Best hole-in-the-wall dumpling place you will always want to come back to! So hot, fresh, and delicious! For what you pay, you will get more than enough. We spent $15 on 3 orders and my dad and I (two Big guys) count even finish it! You could easily have two meals per order. So worth it! My picture is half of the order.
