Description

The kitchen turns out satisfying, home-style plates, including pork buns, house sake, and a curry-flavored fried rice carrying a distinct wok hay flavor. Unlike the heavily fried options nearby, the gyoza here is freshly prepared to keep it light and juicy. With a single operator often running the counter, the service is quick, making it a straightforward choice that offers great value in the East Village.
