简简单单的家常菜 还有好吃的便宜小吃 Simple and Delicious Homecooked Food and Inexpensive

This simple and inexpensive small shop on Allen Street could be and should be competiton for Prosperity Dumpling 46 Eldridge.

山东水饺: Shan Dong Shui Jiao / East Mountain Boiled Dumpling

Located at 99 Allen Street, on the west side just down from Delancey.

The sign reads “Dumplings” in English.

The menu is almost the same as Prosperity Dumpling, but has more, and at about the same price, for many of the items.

All is prepaed in the kitchen just off the slender but cozy dining area, which is a nice comfortable area that is quite relaxing as the window looks out on the street, and one can relax and enjoy a meal in a clean and well kept place.

$1.00 for 芝麻饼 Seasme Pancake

Dumplings Fried or Boiled:

$1.00 for 四个猪肉白菜或猪肉韭菜 锅贴 4 fried pork dumplings both cabbage or chive

$3.00 for 十个猪肉白菜或猪肉韭菜 水饺 10 boiled pork dumplings both cabbage and chive

Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

While most people go there for pork chop or chicken leg rice, Hua Ji at 7 Allen Street also has a nice, extremely economical menu with dumplings, onion pancakes, and stuff like that. Almost everything is under $5, lots of stuff for a couple bucks.

华记 Hua Ji seems similar to 北方锅贴 （Bei Fang Guo Tie） Northern ’Pan Sticky Fried‘ Dumpling on 27 Essex Street down across from the Park.

I love there Hot and Sour Soup 酸辣汤， it is different than Shan dong Dumpling place， but delicious。

I'm going to 99 Allen tomorrow for lunch to have the brisket noodle soup. Let the games begin

[jonkyo]

I had what I would have to say was the best Beef Brisket Noodle Soup (牛腩面汤）, just today。 The beef meat was so thick and had accompanying elements of other tissue, all quite thick, from the area near the stomach, and portions of fat.

I was amazed.

That is 泼记的牛腩汤面 Po JI (Bo Ky) Beef Brisket Noodl Soup) on Grand or Bayard。 I found it better in regards to fatty and other thick but so not chewy tissue as well as excellent portions of beef brisket, than even Henan Flavor.

I will have to sample 东山水饺 99 allen street beef brisket， though I promised myself I would be fasting these next few days. Tough to fast when these shops offer gormet foods. Perhaps I need to leave the city, and cloister myself within the confines of some place like strip mall city with box stores such as Jakc in the Box and Pizza Hut. Fasting made easy.

[bearmi]

Do they sell any frozen wontons? If so, do you remember what flavor(s) they have? I liked the wontons at White Bear in Flushing but it is just too out of th way sometimes :(

[jonkyo]

By far some of te best wanton and 水饺 shuijiao （boiled dumpling） are at Noodles Town on Bowery, and New Wonton Garden 56 Mott Street ,between Bayard St & Canal. I mean for take out and sit down. The 广州水饺 at New Wanton Village are soo good. The shrimp wanton at Noodle Town are soo good also. At Noodle Town, I ask for them served on a plate without soup, as they only appear on the menu as soup.

Do you mean Wonton Village, because the 广州水饺 Guangzhou Boiled Dumplings there are so good. Sorry, it is called H K Wonton Garden, and the pig feet are great too there, also on Mott.

I will be checking out Noodle Village later, these days I am fasting, and limit myself to beer, tea, coffee, cheese, and Wasa or bread crumbs......more correctly, croutons.

I will be ready for more noodles after the holiday, and will be sure to check Noodle Village out.

Looks good: http://www.mightysweet.com/mesohungry...

Thanks

[diprey11]

There is a number of reason to like them. They have a wider variety of noodles (I usually order 瀨粉). Black dumplings (made with 皮蛋) in soup are great. Their soup base is made with real fish, not the fish paste. Their fish balls and fish cakes are homemade, and half of the time so is their XO sauce.

On the flip side, their roast meats are only so-so,and the prices are a little bit higher.

[bearmi]

Thanks for the info. I have never been to New Wonton Noodle Garden... wanted to go years ago but then I read some so-so review. I will have to check it out next time I am in Chinatown.

[scoopG]

It can get confusing!

[bearmi]

Thank you. I have been going to Noodle Village when I am in Chinatown since Sweet n Tart Cafe closed. I should try to visit new places more. The $ I spend at Chinatown Brasserie and midtown Japanese places will prob get me 3 to 5 times the food in Chinatown!! Maybe I will make it my New Year resolution for 2012 :). By the way other than wontons what else is worth trying there? Cantonese style lomein? Maybe congee? If anyone knows, please share your thought!

Maybe this will help: my original review with updates....

[Lau]

maybe ill have to try it again, after they changed ownership (the original owners moved their shop to flushing after their lease ran out) i thought the dumplings went way downhill

[jonkyo]

I have found it hard for other shops to beat the 酸辣汤 hot and sour soup at 99 Allen.

Thus said, I prefer Prosperity Dumpling's dazimabing 大芝麻饼。 Sesame Pancake that is。

[Lau]

ah never tried the suan la tang at 99 allen

the da zhi ma bing is pretty good especially if you get it fresh

i was watching taiwan television when i was at home at CA and it was one of those shows where they go to really good restaurants and show you what they were making and they made this 千层大饼 (thousand layer pancake) that actually looked more like the sesame pancake that looked amazing i've been craving it ever since so i think i need to go down there and get one soon

[jonkyo]

Yes, fresh 芝麻大饼 is best, though I think when crisp it is best, like in this photo:

I was at the Deluxe Food Market on Elizebeth St. earlier today, and I have yet to purchase the reptilian claws that are served there. Like this:http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2009/0...

And in that case, you might want to scoot down further to 27 Essex to the 北方锅贴 shop. It is quite a small shop. Maybe the dumplings there would suit the standard you remember.

I often go the this one on Allen St. a great deal.

[jonkyo]

Yes, it is quite a nice very cheap place for a sit down meal.

[catrae]

I love their dumplings! This is a good spot, thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed fresh pan fried dumplings and a hot soy milk for two dollars this morning!

[jonkyo]

Yor welcome. I just thought this place is under-known, and there are potential customers out there photo here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/fried-dumpling-new-york-2

Beats what Stabucks or these delis have to offer for food in the morning, at less than half the price.

Further down on 27 Essex Street near Sawney Park is another one called 北方锅贴 or English Northern Dumpling. They also have delicious fried dumplings or as the chinese call them 锅贴 ’guotie‘

http://www.yelp.com/biz/china-north-dumpling-new-york-2

That shop desrves a visit also: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ovOupY...

[sugartoof]

"I just thought this place is under-known"

It's actually one of the original, if not original place that popularized the dollar dumpling trend. The news would be that it's reopened, and returned to form, because the new crop are just all around better that what they were offering previously.

[squid kun]

Year-old news, actually: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkint...

[jonkyo]

Thank you for correcting me on the English name. I had missed that.

[squid kun]

Easy to miss on their sign. That name's in smaller lettering. The larger English words, as you noted, are Fried Dumplings.
