Vanessa's Dumpling House

Restaurant · Lower East Side

"Chinatown is a perpetual destination for NYU students, either via the subway or a not-far walk. They find the food inexpensive and delicious, and few places are as popular as Vanessa’s, a dumpling house with seating and self-service founded in 1999. Order at the counter and wait for your order to be called. The specialty is pot-stickers, fried with a cornucopia of meat and vegetable stuffings." - Robert Sietsema
