For the last six monthsย we have been hearing all sorts ofย amazing chatter about Mimi Chengs Dumplings in New York City. E and I are BIG into dumplings. Our dumpling obsession is almost as bad (aka DELICIOUS) as our addiction to ramen (see here, here,ย here and here). We are now on aย mission to try ALL the best dumplings in the tri-state area!
We arrived right when Mimi Chengs opened. It is totally normal to eat dumplings at 11:30AM right?!ย It was nice to have the entire place to ourselves! After reviewing the menu, E and I ordered a half order of vegetable dumplings for me and a half order of chicken dumplings for him. You can order them boiled or pan-fried. Of course we went for the pan fried option! I love the crunch that a pan-fried dumpling makes when you bite into it. These pan-fried dumplings were perfectly cooked. We paired our dumplings with the Mimi Cheng secret sauce as well as a Wolffer Cider! They were the perfect compliment to the dumplings. The dumplings were perfectly plump and juicy.
We will definitely be visiting again soon!
Mimi Chengs –ย 179 2nd Ave, New York, New York 10003 (between 11th and 12th Street)
