FLUSHING, QUEENS
Handmade Dumpling
Thick, bouncy, hand-rolled dumplings at a Union Street counter — pork and cabbage first, lamb and cilantro second.
A tiny counter on Union Street where you can watch the wrappers being rolled while you wait. The skins are the reason to come: thick, dimpled and bouncy, with real chew, around fillings that run to more than twenty varieties.
Start with the boiled pork and cabbage, the clearest expression of what this place does, then a plate of fried lamb and cilantro. It is quick, inexpensive and mostly takeout; listings note payment by cash or Zelle.
Editor’s tip
Order the boiled pork and cabbage and the fried lamb and cilantro, and bring cash.
