Dumpling Xi 喜家德水饺

Located near the NYU campus, this spot lets you watch the kitchen staff prepare orders in-house, serving them within minutes. Beyond the signature shrimp, options include a light zucchini, egg, and shrimp filling folded into thin, translucent yuanbao wrappers. The menu extends past dumplings to include chewy handmade noodles and a spicy neck bone soup pot accompanied by a fragrant, low-heat chili oil.
