Dumpling Man (East Village, NY)


Some would argue that a slice of pizza is the ultimate drunk food, and those people are so wrong it's not even funny. Dumplings were made to be eaten in those late night hours when you want some sustenance to get you back up and running or before you go to bed.

Dumpling Man, well let me just say, these dumplings are great drunk food, but even better sober food. A bunch of options to choose from and then double it with the option of fried or steamed and you have a dumpling lovers dream. Pork fried and soup dumplings were the order of the night. I was completely surprised at the quantity and size. These mama jamas were packed and huge.

Starting with the XLB's. The soup inside was perfectly flavorful, the dough was not to thick, leaving me very satisfied. The real test though is the pork fried and they were legit. I mean look at that lacing in the picture, a crisp so fine it looks like a doily in my grandma's house. The filling was awesome, drunk or sober. Dumpling Man, go there, seriously, you wont be let down.
