King Dumpling

6.9/10Chinese

AI-generated summary

Ten for about $4, and the is the one people order. The wrappers are thick and handmade, which is why regulars buy the by the bag. It's greasy and a little salty. Some say the place is dirty and that Shu Jiao Fu Zhou does it better.

  • I prefer King Dumplings for frozen dumplings since their's is thicker-skinned and boils without ripping apart, although there is a longer boiling time to get it cooked all the way through.

  • replying to u/Total_While8763: i went to king dumplings for the first time recently and the tables were absolutely disgusting, the ATM took $100 from my account and didn’t dispense any cash, all the condiments were in these fossilized sriracha bottles, they ran out of napkins. and it was actually so good i need to go back

    but the dumplings are so good.

  • King Dumplings and North Dumpling are fantastic. You can get stuffed on great dumplings for $5 -$10.

    Food is great though. Their peanut noodles aren't as good as Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, but for $3 it's a fuck ton of peanut noodles that are still pretty damn good.

  • replying to u/joe_bibidi: King Dumplings is definitely a place where you should grab and go, IMO. Even if you just cross the street there's a bunch of public tables and chairs in the median on Allen which are visibly cleaner despite being outside. I guess they at least get rained on.

    the panfried dumplings at Shu Jiao Fu Zhou are noticeably better than King Dumplings

  • I liked all but if I were to only choose 3, it will be the Portuguese Egg Tart from Double Crispy, Chive and Pork from King Dumplings
