  • replying to u/GrassWaterDirtHorse: There's always the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop but by all indications it's a terrible place to go when actual Chinatown dumplings are so close to you.

    I went there and it was not in the vein of the magical automats of yore by any means. You could see the workers coming in and out all the time and there were flies everywhere lol. It felt like a school cafeteria with a wall between the servers and you.

  • replying to u/blahbleh112233: Brooklyn dumpling shop? I swear its just held up by clueless white people these days cause I have no idea who else wants to pay $15 for jelly dumplings

    Went there in the east village and the food I got could’ve easily came from one of those Devour microwave meals.

  • replying to u/Rukia_Blue: I have two! The Brooklyn Dumpling Shop; tastes like they microwave all of their food. I was definitely disappointed in the quality to say the least. Also, Ama Raw Bar East Village. I know unpopular opinion lol Despite me enjoying the ambience of the restaurant and their unique drink menu, I found their west coast oysters to be lacking and not very fresh. I also got a really bad stomach bug after eating there that put me out of commission for an entire week. So I’ e never really struck up the courage to go back.

    Worst dumplings I ever had, verging on inedible

    That place blows so hard, and the cold sterile look accompanied by the lack of employees manning the front just makes it miserable. Ive only been to the one in Garden City and it was just depressing

  • They had a dude outside dressed up as a dumpling handing them out for free and it was okay (good flavor, very oily).
