Customer reviews
Jin Mei Dumpling is my go-to whenever I’m in the area. You seriously can’t beat 15 dumplings for five bucks. Crispy bottoms, juicy inside — absolute perfection. Simple place, but the food speaks for itself.

If you know, you know! I’ve been coming here since college. The staff are kind, portions are generous, and the chili oil hits just right. Jin Mei is one of the few spots that still feels like real Chinatown.
