The story

Tucked into the basement of a nearly abandoned mall on East Broadway, Fujian Style Dumpling Shop is a quiet revelation. During a street food marathon, the More Best Ever Food Review Show called it a spot serving “incredible fried dumplings and steamed buns at very affordable prices,” and the menu keeps things simple: Fried Dumplings with Pork and Chives arrive crispy and savory, while Steamed Buns with Pork are soft and pillowy.

There are no reservations—just takeout and a small counter where the cooking speaks for itself. For authentic, wallet-friendly Chinese fare off the beaten path, this basement shop delivers exactly what its name promises.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food

This is one of the best steamed buns I've ever had in my life. The thickness of the bun is perfect — very thin but with a lovely texture, a little doughy and a little chewy. The meat inside is a flavor atomic bomb — absolutely juicy and swimming in sauce. Absolutely delicious. 10 out of 10. I would recommend.

    A hidden Fujian-style dumpling shop in the basement of an almost abandoned mall, serving incredible fried dumplings and steamed buns at very affordable prices.

    Dishes mentioned

    • Fried Dumplings with Pork and Chives

      These are super crispy and super oily. When you break it open, the filling is full of delicious pork and chives — tons of flavor and juiciness. The in-house dumpling sauce is soy-based with some vinegar — very sweet and a little vinegary, perfect for cutting through the porkiness. Very good.

    • Steamed Buns with Pork

      This is one of the best steamed buns I've ever had in my life. The thickness of the bun is perfect — very thin but with a lovely texture, a little doughy and a little chewy.
