East Wind Snack Shop

The best Chinese takeout in the neighborhood!! We LOVE east wind snack shop - they have incredible service and are so kind every time we go. Today one of the workers chased me down the street to give me an extra freebie item of food with my order after I left. Can’t say enough nice things about this place!

Friend and I heard about this place randomly and decided to try it out and honestly these are some of the best dumplings I’ve had in my entire time living in New York. Genuinely. Give them a try!!

I don’t eat pork so my menu options are limited here. But I’ve got pretty much every option that’s not pork and it was all decent. Was slightly disappointed after reading such rave reviews.

So just ordered three types of dumplings from them, delivery order. Order came quickly, but not a single dumpling sauce in with the order. Strange. Dumplings usually come with sauce. Called up and asked, "Do your dumplings normally come with sauce?" "Yes," they said. "So will you send the missing sauce?" I asked. "No!" they said. Luckily I can whip up my own. The dumplings are good, but order from this place at your own risk!

Really simple and unassuming but the food is fantastic. The dumpling skins are chewy, crispy in parts and really thin. The pork juicy dumplings aren't exactly soup dumplings, but be careful on the bites anyway.
The vegetable dumplings are really tasty and the little crispiness they add on top is so extra.
This is a place to come back to again and again.
