What else do you want? Maybe people expect too much when they do see the $6 price tag but what i see is an insurance policy against msg and cardboard in my dumplings....and isnt the chef some hot shot? They also claim that their chicken is Bell + Evans which is the same stuff Chipotle uses. All yum and no meow. I just wish they had the chocolate dumplings on the truck.....mmm mmmm chocolate Call me just another average uneducated white guy, but I think the Thai Chicken dumpling is great.

Bar Mitzvahs? uhhhh not so much. For the record I thought the dumplings at the Rickshaw cart were pretty damn tasty. They have a nice clean, fresh taste to them. Of course it's hard to justify the $1 per dumpling when you can get them for 25c per in Ctown. LOL Zach…I am indeed available for weddings… Bar Mitzvahs? uhhhh not so much.

Tasty Dumpling on 51 Mulberry Street offers several kinds of dumplings, 5 for $1.25. And fresh wonton soup for the same price. Their establishment is the most decent of the offerings avail. Rickshaw is okay but for $3 I can get a feast of steamed prok dumplings a block away from the office.

And Zach, the reason any of us might resort to that (I'd rather just not eat dumplings) is Chinatown is close... but far. It takes a long time to get there via public trans during a 1 hour lunch break! (I'm clearly not a Wall St. bigwig who can take as much time as I'd like.) But I do want dumplings... dammit. Dumplings! Or the gym... The pictures are great but I hear such bad things about the dumplings at Rickshaw.

I went to Saigon Grill on the upper, Upper Westside and tried their dumplings there. They were amazing! Well, Ok I'm not a dumpling expert. But they had a nice and thin wrapping, thinner than I've had before which is great because it let the insides take center stage. They were so good! Only loosely related.

Sorry again folks and mamcita. Hi All, i wanted to take this time to apoligize to everyone and especially Mamcita for the poor taste comments i made earlier this week.
