We Tried It: $1 Dumplings

Our intern Dan is in his last week of his internship and since he really enjoys dumplings, I thought we’d try one of the best dumpling deals we have on Postabon.

The Deal: Like dumplings?  Prosperity Dumplings in Chinatown offers  5 dumplings  for $1, according to Postabon member Yaelleah.

Is It Truly A Deal?:  When you consider that an appetizer portion of about 7 dumplings costs $4.50 at the cheapest Chinese restaurant, this deal at Prosperity Dumplings is truly a great value.

Pros:  You can choose what kind of dumplings you’d like to get for $1.  Get 10 boiled pork and chive dumplings for $2, or 5 pan-fried pork and chive dumplings for $1.  You can also get 10 Chinese vegetable and pork boiled dumplings for $2 as well.  If you change your mind and don’t feel like dumplings, don’t worry - everything on the menu is cheap! 

Cons:  There wasn’t anything wrong with this deal.  My only complaint was I wish you got soy sauce packets so you can put the sauce on at home.  I’d rather though dump the soy sauce out of the restaurant’s containers on to my to-go food though than have them raise the prices!  Keep in mind our sauce leaked out of the styrofoam containers into the plastic bag, so make sure you don’t get anything on you.

Our 2 Cents:  If you like dumplings, you must put Prosperity Dumplings on your to-do list.  Since this is such a good deal, chances are you’ll act like us and over-order, but $2 worth of dumplings is more than enough.  Most likely you’ll be torn between boiled or pan-friend, but go with the pan-friend.  Since Prosperity Dumplings is rather small, you’ll want to take it back to your apartment or office and the pan-fried dumplings held up much better and were much more delicious.
