Tasty Dumpling.

Worth it, says Antonina. The pork & chive dumplings (available steamed or fried) are the best $2 you will ever spend.

Tasty Dumpling is a humble dim sum restaurant in Chinatown that has quickly become a go-to spot for delicious and affordable comfort food. The pork & chive dumplings (available steamed or fried) are the best $2 you will ever spend.

They’re so popular that Tasty Dumpling offers them frozen in 50-piece bags (for only $16!). Other menu standouts include the pork and cabbage dumplings and the scallion pancake. Everything on the menu is under $4. So you might as well try it all. The only caveat is that the restaurant has limited seating. My tip is to enjoy your food on a bench across the street at Columbus Park.
