Located within walking distance of some of the most popular tourist spots including Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Grand Central, the restaurant is the perfect spot for hearty and authentic soup dumplings.

The dumplings come in an array of flavors ranging from crab meat and pork to pork, shrimp and chive (vegetable options also available), with each dumpling providing a burst of broth. But be careful, dumplings emerging fresh from the steamer are quite hot.
