East Wind Snack Shop

I stopped by to get take out and ordered the Shanghai pork belly noodles and WOW. The noodles were so delicious it had a creamy sauce and the pork belly was so soft and pulled apart easily. The cucumber had a nice refreshing taste. Service was pretty fast and you can sit inside and eat if you want to. Definitely coming back to try other items!!

I was lured into the restaurant with posted rave reviews, thinking I was about to have some of the best dumplings I’ve ever tasted. I ordered a quick dine-in snack: fried pork dumplings and bottled water. As they were cooking I smelled burning oil so I grew concerned they may be scorched. I’m so glad I did not order them to go. What I received were dumplings that were badly burned on the underside (literally black), and doughy on the outside. I wish this review mechanism allowed for photo upload. The filling was semi-flavorable chopped pork balls.
I questioned how they could serve something so burnt. And I had to ask for replacement dumplings because the host didn’t seem concerned about how the dumplings were prepared.
The replacement dumplings were fried normally.
I noticed another review noting their food was burnt. There seems to be an issue with quality control. Perhaps their good reviews were all pre-pandemic and since then there has been a decline. I also had to wipe down my table even though the place was practically empty. I will not be returning, and do not recommend, given all the many favorable options NYC has to offer.

We were out and about in Brooklyn until we were craving Dumplings. We came here and our dumpling cravings were satisfied. We ordered their Juicy Pork Dumplings and Beef Potstickers. The Pork Dumplings are a delicious combination of tender and juicy pork. You can taste the spices on it. They were fried and delicious. As for the The Beef Potstickers, they were served with savory beef filling that was perfectly seasoned. It was packed with flavor, giving a nice punch in every bite.Nothing beats crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside dumplings. Overall, delicious!

unassuming chinese spot but their dumplings are incredible. the flavors are so good and juicy, i’m really impressed with this spot. a little disappointed that they’re kinda pricey but i’ll pay the premium for the quality of taste. great for solo dining or a casual snack/meal!

So just ordered three types of dumplings from them, delivery order. Order came quickly, but not a single dumpling sauce in with the order. Strange. Dumplings usually come with sauce. Called up and asked, "Do your dumplings normally come with sauce?" "Yes," they said. "So will you send the missing sauce?" I asked. "No!" they said. Luckily I can whip up my own. The dumplings are really really good though.

Really simple and unassuming but the food is fantastic. The dumpling skins are chewy, crispy in parts and really thin. The pork juicy dumplings aren't exactly soup dumplings, but be careful on the bites anyway.
The vegetable dumplings are really tasty and the little crispiness they add on top is so extra.
This is a place to come back to again and again.

Good dumpling place. Taste was pretty good. They do have vegan option. Sitting is very limited. There is only 1 table with 2 chairs outside. Price is slightly higher than what I think it should be but considering the location, I think it is fair.
