Dumpling House Eldrige btw Broom and Grand St, New York, NY


This tiny establishment lacks seating and isnt so clean but its well worth the few minutes waiting in the lines that regularly trail out the door. This is by far one of the best deals in town. For 1 dollar you get your choice of 5 veggie or pork dumplings served in a styrofoam box ready for eating. You can buy dumplings in sets of 5 or 10 and you choose your style, the price varies accordingly but its hard to go over a few bucks. They also sell soup and delicious scallion pancakes that contain various fillings ranging from egg to tuna. For a cheap on the go bite this place can't be beat. If you like dumplings and eating cheap you will love dumpling house. They also sell bags of frozen dumplings to take home.

Sichuanese Cuisine 12th and Jackson Seattle, WA

This hole in the wall sichuanese restaurant is more than meets the eye. With homemade noodles the pork chow main is the best i have tasted. Homemade baby pot stickers are perfectly crispy with chewy dough, pork and green onion filling, bags available for take home. Best version of cold sesame noodles i have had outside new york called, "cold noodles". They have a chinese style hot pot daily with mounds of tofu, beef, lamb, veggies, spicy and non-spicy and if you don't like tripe be sure to ask for no "honey-comb". If you can read mandarin there are many other selections on the menu that you can choose from. The shrimp with black bean sauce and chicken with string beans are both fantastic and all the food is really cheap!!! Prices are on average 5-7 dollars per dish and the pot stickers go for 4-5 dollars for twenty. All portions are big, delicious and filling.
