Dumpling Wrappers - Midtown/Upper West

Does anyone know where I can purchase dumpling wrappers in Midtown (or Upper West)? I made a whole lot of dumpling mixture and only had one package of wrappers - about 1/2 of the mixture is left.

I would have gone to Chinatown, except the weather was too cold this weekend.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Thanks everyone! I ended going to the Japanese store on 41st between 5th and Madison. they had wonton wrappers for 99 cents. They looked a bit sketch in the freezer, but once they defrosted, they were fine.

        I just saw them at the Food Emporium on 68th & Broadway, made by Nasoya, the brand of tofu sold at most grocery stores.

          Just an FYI: those are probably wonton wrappers. They're square and not covered in flour, which is required to hold dumplings together.

          Dumpling wrappers are round, usually frozen, and come in stacks of 50 with a styrofoam tray underneath. You can't get them at any normal grocery store--believe me I've looked.

          Is Sam Bok still open? The number I found on the web was disconnected.

            Han Ah Rheum on 32nd between 5th and 6th definitely has them. I believe there is also Sam Bok on 43rd off of 6th Ave as well.

              I was going to suggest Han Ah Rheum as well.

              don't know the name of it, but a door or two east of Cafe Zaiya on 41st St (bet. 5th and Madison) is an Asian grocery store that would probably have them
