Stick To My Pot

I made a catering order with them for my job and the delivery was prompt which is a huge plus. We ordered a pan of all of the dumplings and the scallion pancakes and everything was delicious! My team truly enjoyed everything. I really wanted to give it a 5-star rating but when I was eating my edamame, I found a caterpillar inside and that kinda took me out of it. I know this isn't an everyday occurrence and they couldn't have prevented this but it was still difficult to go back to eating after almost biting into the bug. Don't worry, I won't post the picture of the caterpillar.

Insanely good dumplings right by Penn Station. Pan fried have massive flavor and crispy texture with juicy inside. Don’t miss the sweet vinegar and chili oil sauces!! Only drawback is the tiny shop is hot as a the frying pan itself 🔥

5/12/24 first time here. Got word of mouth from several coworkers that this place is good. So i stopped in for lunch to-go. I got the 8 dumpling pack, 50/50 chicken and shrimp. Very good & Steamed perfectly too. I got an order of the noodles in scallion sauce, they were good and on the sweet side. Plus a pork bao for the GF. She really liked it. While I was waiting, the guy was making the dumplings for later in the day. He told me that all the ingredients were combined there to make it home made and fresh. So that was a good piece of info to have. I'll say the dumplings did taste fresh. They also have frozen dumplings to take home, i think i can get on board with that one of these days...

Overall rating: 4.8 Really solid place that’s affordable and quick! The pork bun was soo good. I had the classic soup dumpling which was goodish. It was barely a soup dumpling. It was dumplings in a soup 🤣🤣🥲 But! I’m sticking with a high rating because I was so surprised by the quality & how affordable it is. I ended up getting a second pork bun, it was so good! Note it’s not the most filling meal but I do Iike the whole concept in general. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something quick!

It's a hole in the wall with good food. Nothing really special about the place. It's also well priced. If you want a quick bite, place to stop

Pork Bao bun was great! So good. Dumplings were not bad, but just not great. Cute spot, super quick service.

Vegan dumplings!! And scallion noodles. This place is realllly good. I gave it 3 stars because there’s no bathroom, place to wash your hands, and the dining room is small. But the food is super good. So if you’re looking for a hole in the wall with plant based dumplings, look no further. I’m small and 6 dumplings were plenty for me for lunch, just in terms of sizing.

Hidden gem! Near the Macy's, super small shop where you can enjoy various freshly made dumpling, and other dishes. We loved the pot stickers, the scallion pancakes and the braised beef. Staff was very nice and friendly, you must try it!

Delicious and fast - fresh dumplings that are healthy and good value. I had half and half of steamed classic and vegan dumplings. Both were good - the vegan one surprisingly flavorful with fragrant pepper oil. Pickled napa cabbage was a refreshing side though a bit too sweet for me. Great spot to get a quick bite around Penn Station.

based on the reviews, I thought this place would be a lot better than it was. I had the bao and 6 dumplings pan-fried. the bao wasn't anything crazy. it came with a paper wrapping to not get your hands dirty, but the sauce was so sticky you had to take it out, getting everything sticky. the bao also had a split on the bottom, so it was more of a sandwich with two pieces, than a traditional "taco" type shape. the flavor was there, but nothing impressive. the dumplings were not my favorite. I was looking for crispy but mostly steamed on the top. there were small bits of burnt schmutz from the pan on the top of the potstickers and they were very oily. this didn't lend well while they sat on my plate, soaking in that cooking oil since they were fresh out of the pan and too hot to eat initially. that said, the filling was very good. I highly enjoyed the mix of pork and greens! the service was nice and attentive. you can watch the owner make all his dumplings while stuff is cooking, which was great. overall, don't think i'll try again, but good enough if you're looking for potstickers by penn station

Came here for dinner and had a great experience. Despite it being in midtown, this place seems like a "hole-in-the-wall" kind of place. My friend and I ordered the pick-two on the dumplings (we did the chicken and wonton) and the pulled pork bao. The service was quick and the food was delicious. I've never had bao before and I was certainly impressed. The prices here are SO cheap, I was amazed. I had a great experience and would definitely be back.

Quiet atmosphere with only counter seating so not where I would take people to sit down but very quick for takeout. I came here with my foodie card for the 10% discount but they would not honor it so I am pretty disappointed. The dumplings are basic but are cheap enough and good for a quick plain hot meal. The deserts all look skippable. I am incredibly disappointed by their scallion pancake which tasted like hard overfried dough with minimal vegetables. If I could go back in time and change one item i've ever ordered or eaten it would most definitely be that awful scallion pancake (and they're usually my favorite). This is why I changed my original 3 star review to 1 star. There is no restroom and they do not play music.

Super casual and cute spot to grab a quick meal. Upon entering, the menu and photos are on display on the wall, with a little bit of seating. There is a front counter for ordering. I decided to order the Braised Pork Chop over Rice and Fried Shrimp Potstickers. The pork chop was made with scallion sauce, with a side of pickled napa cabbage. This was quite tasty. The pork chop was tender and full of bold flavor, while the rice was perfectly cooked. The cabbage was a fresh touch. Shrimp Potstickers had a lovely crispiness and the shrimp was juicy and succulent, but I didn't like the water chestnut that was in it. On my way out, I got a Chocolate Chip Mochi Cake to go. I enjoyed this, but it didn't look like the photo, which depicted it to be much more thick and fluffy. The actual mochi cake was thinner, served warm, satisfyingly sticky, with yummy melty chocolate throughout. If in the area, I might return to try the Braised Beef over Rice with daikon, carrot, and sweet potato, as well as pork or vegan dumplings.

Stopped in here fresh off a train and looking for quick, but delicious eats. This spot definitely delivered! Made to order potstickers of various flavors, great scallion noodles and a refreshing take on edamame in a light wine brine

I got the 6 pork soup dumplings. It wasn't the classic soup dumpling I expected but delicious and perfect for a quick snack nonetheless. Highly recommend this spot if you want a semi-quick lunch or snack. They have quality food at a decent price and it didn't take as long as a sit down restaurant but took long enough where I know they didn't just microwave them. (Boba isn't from here but they didn't mind my outside drink which I was grateful for)

Food - Chinese food takeaway and dining. Dumplings, pan fried, steamed, in pork, chicken, shrimp, vegan, wonton, rice bowls like braised pork, beef and chicken meatball over rice, sides like pulled pork Bao, spring rolls, scallion pancake and noodles. Pork Bao was my test food. Service - holy wow, a guy, all by himself taking order, cashiering, cooking and packing all by himself. This guy must have a fast processor and great memory management skills to pull this and not get messed up orders. This is as close to Machine learning AI as possible. Ambiance - a small hallway with about 10 barstool seats and a long bar counter. No outside seating and most people order takeaway food or us Americans call it to go orders. Verdict - good variety of Chinese food that's quick and easy to order and take with you. The Bao was good. Gotta try this place again.

A Nice place with pretty authentic dumplings. They steam the dumplings fresh then pan fry them. The pork, cabbage, and chive are great. The skins don't seem to be homemade but then again they rarely are

I needed a quick casual dinner and Stick To My Pot Potsticker was perfect. I used GRUBHUB to order ahead of time so I didn't have to wait (pick-up was easy). I ordered the half and half order for four vegan dumplings (steamed) and four chicken dumplings (steamed) as well as an order of the chicken wonton with sesame sauce. The vegan dumplings included pumpkin, edamame, shiitake mushrooms and corn. The chicken dumplings were a classic chicken, napa cabbage and cilantro. The chicken wontons w/ sesame sauce was outstanding. The items came with soy sauce, chili oil and utensils. All delicious and fresh, flavorful. Would definitely order again. The restaurant itself if more casual (no formal tables, just stand and eat at their higher tables). Low key but SOLID choice! I would come back again soon.

Hmm we got some scallion noodles, dumplings. Scallion noodles are not that flavorful. Can't even taste the scallion and it was just cold so it's not fresh. Dumplings are solid though so if you were to make me focus the review on only the dumplings I think it's fine to give it a 4 but if you made me grade the other food items at an equal level, I'd give it a 3.5. Would go again only if I was in the area, not really worth going out of your way to eat here. Service was fine, its just a fast casual place. Seating is limited though, only like maybe 6-8 seats max? And no bathroom :I

Food was delicious we ordered pork dumplings with soup, spring rolls, and a bao. I was so shocked that they make it by hand right in front of you! Overall I think this is a really underrated place. You should check it out. Also, I think the one worker there is works really hard.

The food is incredible, but only benches and bar around the perimitter. The Pulled Pork Bao was incredible. I went back for another. The Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings were solid. I tried the soup dumplings and the flavor profile wasn't my speed, but quality was there. In fact, see David the dumpling artist at work in my pic

I stopped by to grab a bite before my train left Penn Station. The restaurant is small, there are around 10 counter height chairs along the front and right wall of the space. I ordered 4 pan fried dumplings and decided to add on a scallion pancake for a little more than $10. I wasn't a fan of the pancake, but the dumplings were tasty. A little on the price side compared to China Town and elsewhere, but not too terrible. ,

This 35th Street block has a couple of my favorite spots for lunch. Time to add another--Stick to My Pot Potsticker. Spotted this tiny hole in the wall and browsed their menu on the wall. They're known for their potstickers but also serve a few other items. On this day, I craved a small bite since it was later in the day. Choose the quantity, style prepared (fried/steamed/soup which was extra) and filling (there was a variety from vegetable and chicken to pork). My order was simple. 4 pieces, steamed and the Chicken Wonton style (don't let the name fool you-- there was no pork)--$5.99. A few counter seats were available for dining in. I was the third person who placed an order. My wait was average. I noticed a gentleman in the back making the dumplings. Once my order was ready, took it back to the office. The order was well packed and included 3 side condiments including a sesame that is the signature sauce for this style. The potstickers were a nice size (felt the edges were a bit thick though) and the flavor was really good. If I'm hungrier next time, I will increase my quantity size and pay a few dollars more. Enjoyed it a lot. Recommend and have added it to my go to return lunchtime spot.

On my last visit to nyc I decided to try Stick to my Pot since it was super close to my hotel. It's a small place with minimal seating so call ahead to pick up your order and eliminate any wait. I went with the scallion pancake, pork dumplings, veggie dumplings and pork bao bun. The pork dumplings were delicious! The filling was flavorful and they were cooked perfectly. The pork bao was stuffed with slow cooked pulled pork and homemade pickles. These two were the highlights! The veggie dumplings left a lot to be desired. The filling was mushy and didn't have a lot of flavor and the scallion pancake was thick and really oily. Skip those two and stick with their classic pork dumplings.

I found a my new favorite lunch place. Ordered 4 dumplings and a pulled pork bao for $11! The chicken cilantro dumplings are superb. Had a small baked pineapple mochi cake for dessert that was incredible. Not too sweet, gooey texture. Hit the spot

Visiting from Texas and there are some many places there to eat food ... anyways wanted some potstickers and google this place... as soon as I walked in the man was pinching fresh dumplings and took our order right away. it's a small establishment but that's good in and out. Or you could stay and eat as well... I got the half and half on the dumplings and some spring rolls. I looked up as I'm typing this and he was freshly rolling them .

Keepin it real out here in Midtown Tried this place cause it's close to my work. Neat tiny little spot. Food is slightly pricey to me for the type of food served but still reasonable for Midtown. Got some dumplings and a pork bao and they were all pretty good. The pork bao is literally shredded pork inside a sweet bun (different from what i'm used to, with no other ingredients). Honestly after a while, I can't tell the food apartment for all the dumpling spots (this spot, Vanessa's dumplings and bunch of other dumpling shops). Also I picked up the food, and the dude literally handed me the food in a to go box with no bag. It's close to work so it's not an issue for me, but yea should at least offer a bag. Revision: Also just found out they didn't add cucumber (missing greens) in my Bao. Not cool.... Peace

I weekly look for cheap eats in Midtown to keep me full during the work day. This places hasn't disappointed. I've had the chicken and vegan dumplings multiple times. The steamed chicken and fried vegan are my go to. Great choice in a financial pinch.

Delicious vegan dumplings!! They have corn/pumpkin/mushroom dumplings and they were soooo good!! I forgot to take a photo but the food is great. They have other vegan options as well like the scallion pancake. I'll try that next time! The food takes a few minutes and comes out hot and fresh. Not too much indoor seating.

I experience good customer service when I visit the establishment; an employee is kind. The Vegan Potstickers are good snacks, I really like the softness of the sweet potatoes which really carry the potstickers flavorwise, and the potstickers taste good with both sauces though more so the soy-vinegar mix, to me. I like the scallion pancake a lot by itself though it tastes good with both sauces (more so the chili sauce, for me). The establishment takes different forms of payment. Having a fan or air circulation system preventing outside smells to enter the establishment can help mitigate unpleasant smells for any dining in: I mention so because of whiffing cigarette smoke when eating (I don't want that second-hand smoke especially while I'm enjoying a meal).

Fresh dumplings is what I was craving and this little place did not disappoint! Steamed or pan fried are both fresh and flavorful. Next time I'm in the fashion district I'll be stopping in!

Food is really good. The menu is great. Everyone waits at least 10 min for their food. There are about 9 seats in the restaurant to sit. Scallion pancake is also a hit!

Steamed dumplings Stuffing are very fresh which is why I prefer them steamed. I wish there are 10 or more dumplings options for half and half.

This is rough to rate but I have to factor in COVID regulations: The only person working there wasn't masked and didn't ask for vaccine cards for indoor dining. I felt really uncomfortable as we are 2 years in with the pandemic already, we all gotta do better. Food: I did enjoy the potsticker dumplings, very crispy on one side and flavorful chicken filling. They're not your usual thick skinned, big kind of dumpling from Chinatown. They use the thin wrappers you buy from supermarkets instead, so somehow I was thinking why pay almost $8 for 6 dumplings when I can get a pack of wrappers for $2.5 and make 20+ dumplings? Either way, maybe it's good for Midtown price. Scallion pancake is skippable. It's small for $3 and too fried to the point that it's not appetizing. The pancake ended up being just very crunchy inside out like you're eating a cracker. Scallion pancake should be crunchy outside and still chewy inside. Fun fact: This place mentions they have the biggest dumplings in NYC on their IG and sadly this is not true. Just look at the pics, period. I really want to support small businesses but please take COVID seriously.

These potstickers were SO GOOD. We devoured 2 orders of them almost immediately. They were also delivered in half the time promised. GREAT service. Highly recommend. Will order again!

What a fantastic little place. Does one thing and does one thing only. Okay maybe two but that's beside the point. The space probably couldn't be anything more than walking closet with a little bit of seating up against the wall. The menu is up against their left side that gives you three options of the filling, steamed or fried and maybe a couple of baos on the next one. Depending on what the specialist for the day they will be on the wall as well. I tried the braised pork chop with a traditional steamed potstickers. They come with a little bit of vinegar-based sauce and hot oil. Really couldn't ask for more if you're looking for a quick dinner. The proprietor checks in on you to see how things are going If not you're left to your own devices. Definitely worth stopping by.

A small little restaurant probably only has 10 seats. Dishes come out fast and fresh. The steamed shrimp dumplings are delicious, however, the fried dishes (scallion pancakes and egg rolls) were overcooked and burned. Price is good though.

Standby dumplings for lunch, quick and nearby. Order online and pickup, the gentlemen that work there are always friendly and fast despite how chaotic it could be. The Bao buns are very tasty next to the dumplings.

I tried out a dumpling place called Stick to My Pot . I'm a big dumpling fan and I really enjoyed this place. I got a mix of pork/chicken dumplings. Really good texture. I also enjoyed the Scallion Pancake. If you are around Penn Station, it's a nice place to check out.

Very unusual spot for this Kind of cuisine but it doesn't matter Cause it's very good ! Very good variety if the dumplings or the bowls Or whatever on the menu - Fresh generous and fairly priced . Recommended!

Saw the cooks pulling some dumplings out of frozen bags. In addition, the classic pork dumplings mix was made fresh but severely undercooked. Found a couple raw pieces of pork and could not finish. Would not recommend.

This place is amazing just to watch the one-man show taking orders and making the food! Very fresh, very hot made to order potstickers. Group had a mix of steamed dumplings and potstickers. All tasty. My favorite were the vegan and chicken. Not fancy as you sit outside on a couple of tables or along the side. Very tasty, reasonably priced NY food. Especially good for a quick lunch.

This was the perfect spot for a quick dinner before a show at Madison Square Garden. It's a small place with only counter seating and typical for the area, no bathroom (go to Macy's across the street). I had the pan fried dumplings, half order chicken, half vegan. Both types were very tasty. He was making them fresh. We shared scallion noodles, also good with some chili oil. Husband had braised beef, rice and cabbage which he enjoyed. The service was fast and friendly with a reasonable price. Perfect tasty, fast meal for the area.

I work two stores down from this place. I'm here about twice a week I order the classic pan fried dumplings this place is small but the food is amazing! They have great food options pretty simple. Owner is very nice knows my order as soon as I walk in.

This was good! Came here on a cold day and had good potstickers. We ordered a bit of everything on the menu. The food came out quick and overall the potstickers were good. They were a bit greasy hence the loss of a star.

This is my go to when I'm not sure what I want to eat. You really can't go wrong here everything on the menu is delicious. I especially love the scallion pancake. Recently, the quality of the potstickers has been a little inconsistent - one visit they're amazing and bursting with flavor and another visit they're just lacking something. Aside from this, the employees are always very kind and the prices are a big plus. As a college student, the ability to buy the dumplings frozen was a game changer.

This is the yummiest and funnest place with an awesome owner and amazing food! I tripped over them when going to MSG for an event and now this is a regular stop for me. Go here, enjoy!

Gooooood. They're fresh and delicious. Guy behind the counter was super nice. Took a little bit for it to come out but the small wait is worth it.

Dumplings, fresh delicious dumplings. I thought this place would be a typical dumpling joint. Guy gets frozen dumplings from the back and tosses them into a steamer. DEAD WRONG. As soon as I ordered I watched the guy behind the counter lovingly stuff, wrap and cool my custom half and half dumplings. The options are simple but elegant. A few different types of filling for the dumplings or you can mix two of them together for fifty cents or so. Options for cooking the dumplings are steamed, fried or soup for an extra dollar. I also got an order of bao for food measure. The dumplings were great and the wrapper was just thick enough to hold everything together but not too thick to be annoying. The flavor of the shrimp and pork both were noticeable with great bites of both. This place is a hidden gem and entirely worth trying. As always happy hunting

The chicken dumplings and shrimp dumplings are amazing here, and the shiitake mushrooms in the spring rolls are so good too. They are constantly making fresh dumplings- fresh fillings scooped into wontons. They have constant turnover so everything is hot and fresh. I can see why so many people frequent this shop. Prices are reasonable for what you're getting too

Delicious! Watched him make my dumplings and cook them. They are as fresh as they get. I'll be back!

Passed by the spot and had to go in! They have 4 varieties of potstickers including vegan and you can get 4, 6 or 8 steamed or pan fried. I had my steamed and they literally cook as you wait. So yummy and loved the sauces! Enjoy

This is a tiny store near Penn Station but honestly it's such a good cheap option for vegans in the area! Vegan food is usually sit down and/or very expensive, and this is neither (though you can sit down at a small bar area to eat). The vegan dumplings have pumpkin in them so they're super unique and just sweet enough to hit that taste note but still be savory. Some Chinese dumpling recipes I've had in my life do have pumpkin in them, but they also usually contain shrimp. I was super happy to find these! They're 4 for $5 which is a good snack, or 6/$8 or 8/$10 for a quick meal. The employee steams or pan fries the dumplings immediately after ordering so there's a tiny bit of a wait time but you get it piping hot and fresh. I got mine steamed and after carrying them in my bag for a half hour or so they had steamed a little more in the box and were soft and delicious, not dried out at all. They came with soy sauce and chili oil, both delicious on top. Other vegan options included a scallion pancake, scallion oil noodles, edamame, and pickled cabbage (side). The scallion pancakes looked thick and full of scallions, so I'm sure they're good though I didn't try them this time. Everything is decently priced and it definitely feels like you're supporting a small local business.

Dumplings were sooo good and fresh. They were made fresh to order and he was wrapping a batch as we sat there. He was friendly and patient as we had obviously never been there. We had pan fried original dumplings and chicken dumplings with soup. Hope to make it back again before we leave.

Genuinely affordable lunch options around midtown Manhattan (aside from fast food) are few and far between. But, Stick To My Pot Potsticker has provided customers with not only an affordable option but one that doesn't sacrifice quality in the process. The service is super fast and they offer some high top seating but in reality I'm usually in-and-out in under ten minutes with a bag full of goodies to make my stomach a happy camper for the rest of the day. My go to order is 1 pork bao bun and either 4 or 6 dumplings, all for under $12.00. You absolutely cant beat that for quality food in that area. They also offer vegan options for those who aren't meat eaters.

Hey hey Adventurers! I found this place serendipitously! I happened to be in the area and wanted small but filling food. While searching this place popped up! The food is fresh and delicious. The pork buns were AMAZING! I normally don't like them but they made them with a bit of sweet teriyaki or bbq and they were stuffed! We got the 8 piece classic potstickers with whatever sauce they provide. Holy cow! So delicious, so fresh, and legit for two people that was enough! Def recommend even though they don't have a restroom I recommend this in your travels!

Note: not a New Yorker reviewing I'm sure there are a million hidden gems scattered throughout NY with amazing and better dumplings. But I can't compare and my experience here was great. The guy was really helpful and was able to manage a bunch of to-go orders while getting our order out. We ordered a full set of steam, a full set of fried, pickled cabbage, and 5 baos. I go estoy thought the baos were the highlight and the dumplings took a backseat. I prefer my dumplings to have a thinner wrap and this one was a tad on the doughy side but all in all it was all really good.

I thought that these dumplings were pretty good, but I don't think I would come back which is why I'm giving it a rating of 3 stars. We got the following: -classic pan fried dumplings: the flavor of these were good but the dough was a little too thick. It almost tasted like these were frozen and then cooked. I would also have liked tastier dipping sauces. -sesame chicken wontons: I liked how the dough seemed a little thinner on these, but the sauce was a little too heavy for me. -spring rolls: these were very good and crunchy on the outside. I would recommend getting these. -scallion pancake: I didn't really enjoy this. It almost tasted like it had mashed potatoes inside. -pork buns: these were pretty good, but not sure that I would come back just for these. Overall, I thought everything was just ok.
