Beijing Dumpling House — Restaurant in New York

Wasn't expecting much, but I was impressed by this unassuming lunch spot! This restaurant is strictly utilitarian: line up to place your order (to go, or dine-in the open tables, cafeteria style). Wait for your order number to be called, then pick up your tray, and grab a seat to eat. Clean, spartan tables and chairs, enough to eat quickly and leave. Staff was professional and efficient. I had ordered a combo (dandan noodles with 4 dumplings), plus extra side order of steamed baby Bak choy in soy sauce. The dumplings (pork with chives) was undoubtedly the best I have ever had outside of Chinatown (and in fact better than one popular Chinatown spot). My dumplings were made fresh to order, the wrapping itself was the right taste and texture, and the filling was nicely seasoned. The dandan noodle sauce was tasty and a bit spicy, though the noodles itself was not the usual type I would expect, but it was a fair version. I rarely find a superb dandan anyway, so I give it a pass. And the steamed baby bak choy was perfect for me, properly steamed without being overcooked (sometimes it comes wilted; this was crisp, but fully cooked) and good sauce. I would love to come back again for another quick lunch and thankful for the recommendation to...

Ordered delivery thru Grubhub. Order ETA was 6:05-6:15pm. Order arrived at 6:40. It was worth the wait. First meal of the day so I was quite hungry and admittedly a tad bit impatient so I called the restaurant to ask for a new delivery estimate. The guy who answered the phone was professional and apologetic for the delay. Even when I called back a second time the guy who answered the phone was patient, professional and apologetic for the delay (restaurant is 10 minutes away so I called back after 20 minutes—it was the hunger).

The food was fresh, hot and flavorful. We got beef dumplings, chicken fried rice, sautéed string beans, spicy pork/shrimp wonton, shrimp wonton, and Thai and coconut milk bubble teas.

I have never been to the restaurant, but based on the phone manners of the person answering their calls, I would imagine it is a very nice atmosphere.

Oh, and the delivery guy was also friendly and efficient, and the order was packaged very secure with no spillage.

I will order again and next time I will definitely be more patient if the delivery is late. This was one of the best Grubhub experiences I’ve...

I can't tell you how impressed I am about this restaurant. I have been living in the neighborhood nine years and have never found an Asian food place to my liking. I found this place last year and I've been obsessed ever since. The best part is not the delicious spicy ones Huns but the customer service is out of this world. They are just a kind of family I've ever seen in a restaurant. Not only that but pre covid-19 they still are one of the cleanest. If you go in and order they make the food I'm right behind the glass and you can see that they cleaned their woks after ever used. All the food is prepared as it is ordered. It is just a delightful experience I tried to go at least once a month. I've lived in four different states and three different countries and I'm telling you if you want to avoid the questionable meat and not be treated like a number I would say give this place a try and try the vegetable dumplings and the chicken and chives dumplings oh my goodness!!!! Great bubble tea for like$3 as well...
