The best dumplings around New York City
by Anonymous
My wife and i have been hanging out in the city for years. We live in NJ but try to go into NYC at least twice a month. The best way to experience the city is by walking. By walking, you get to experience all of the unique things that make the city great, things you would miss by taking the subway or cab. By I digress. In my professional opinion(pro eater of course) I believe that the dumplings at Ollies Noodle Shop are far superior to anything I've had in the city. They are always hot, fresh, clean, and most importantly, delicious scratch-made northern-style dumplings that swell with pork, shrimp, or vegetable fillings. But don't stop at just the dumplings, everything there is excellent:Cantonese-style roast meats, especially the honey-glazed barbecued spareribs; southern-style noodle dishes; Spicy Sichuan dishes round out the eclectic selection.
To cater to Columbia University’s Asian students and faculty, this location has numerous Hong Kong dishes, too, like an exemplary fried sea bass with spicy salt. Small chunks of the velvety fish are dusted with cornstarch and lightly fried. They are then wok-fried with salt, scallions, fried onions, and mild green chile peppers.
There are four locations to take your pick from, but my favorite is in Times Square. It's great to stuff your belly for dinner and then then head out side to the night infused by the dancing neon signs. Ollie’s delivers, in every sense of the word. —
