Plump Dumpling is a Chinese restaurant crowned as the East Village's renowned destination for superlative and authentic Chinese cuisine! After you have our Chinese dishes delivered to your Lower East Side home or business, you will understand why NYC considers Plump Dumpling their favorite East Village Chinese restaurant. Our Hong Kong chefs make our dumplings with water and flour, with no eggs or butter - making us a very vegan friendly Chinese restaurant! Instead of frying our dumplings, our East Village dumpling haven sears them which takes uses less fat and relies mostly on the cooking power of steam. We use cooking wine to add more flavor and our wrappers are rolled out individually with a thin edge and a fuller center (makes less doughy "plump" dumplings). Our East Village neighborhood Chinese restaurant offers Chinese food delivery for the West Village as well.
One try and I am hooked
by MFDemby
I walked in after being drawn by the delicious smell in one hungry afternoon. After my first bite of the juicy veggie dumpling, I was hooked. Peter's unique process of dumpling making holds in so much flavor, it was like an explosion in my mouth! Thank you for your delicious dumplings Peter. They are so fresh and stayed warm all the way back to my office where I ate them under the eyes of jealous onlookers.
Pros: Never better
Cons: none

Only Chinese restaurant I go to
by Tran
The dumplings are great, especially the steamed pork ones, but I also like their Mandarin roast duck/chicken noodle dishes the best. Recently I've also been ordering their General Tso's chicken & shrimp combo. Very scrumptious and the shrimp pieces are jumbo.
I live in the neighborhood, and this is literally the only place I go to for Chinese food!
Pros: Great service & good, inexpensive food
Cons: dining area not the best

the only one good dumpling place
by KIKILP
There used to be a lot of good, inexpensive restaurants in the neighborhood, but for the last few years you have to choose one or the other. Plump Dumpling is one of the exceptions. Good food, great service.
Pros: the best place to go

Don't even try
by jl4747
Worst chinese food ever. I ordered Pepper Steak for Lunch, it came with white rice, hot & sour soup. Pepper steak is fine, but white rice is very dry, taste like 3 days old rice, and especially hot & sour soup is horrible. literary, nothing in the soup, I found only 1 slice of mushroom, and taste too sour. Not friendly. Don't even try this chinese food.
Pros: None
Cons: Bad rice, soup, service

GOOD DUMPLING AND FRESH FOREVER
by liew
I always get delivery or take out from this place since it's near my job. You really can't go wrong with their lunch specials. They are a reliable chinese food takeout/delivery place that is super quick. my best bets are the DUMPLING and anything fried rice. I've had their sliced chicken and broccoli (also good, but not a fan of the texture of the chicken). I love this place tho because they are so quick with delivery it's amazing. If you need a place for good sesame chicken, this is it!
