About

Quality is our top priority

At Jin Mei Dumpling, we believe that great food doesn’t have to cost much. Tucked away at 25B Henry St B, New York, NY 10002 in the heart of Chinatown, we’re a small, unpretentious counter-shop born from a love of authentic flavor, generous portions, and honest prices.

Our story

Who We Are

Jin Mei is run with simplicity and sincerity.
We’re not about fancy décor or flashy menus — we’re about perfecting the classics: fried & steamed dumplings, pork & chive, pork buns, and a handful of other crowd favorites. Our menu is limited, but every item is made with care and attention to what customers keep coming back for.

Why choose us

Our Promise — Authenticity Meets Affordability

Real Flavor, Daily

Every dumpling is hand-folded fresh, every bun is steamed fresh. We serve them as soon as they’re ready — hot off the pan or out of the steamer.

Unbeatable Value

15 pan-fried pork & chive dumplings for $5. That deal has earned us raves from locals, tourists, and food bloggers alike.

Fast, Friendly Service

Most orders are ready in minutes. We may be small, but we’re efficient. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a snack during your Chinatown stroll, or something to share, we’ve built what we do around speed without sacrificing taste.

Focused Menu

We do fewer things, but do them very well. Dumplings, buns, maybe a snack or two — what we offer we make us proud of.
