La Salle Dumpling Room

March 26,2019 | By Sovereign Associates |

This one’s for all the lovers of Asian cuisine out there. Now, the Upper West Side isn’t generally known for having an abundance of great Chinese food restaurants. That being said, La Salle Dumpling Room on Broadway stands out. It’s a warm, inviting restaurant, but is very cozy. The tables are placed very close together and its pretty consistently busy, so definitely don’t plan on having any private, quiet conversations here.  Nonetheless, the small setting and bustling atmosphere can be quite enjoyable once you’ve received your order and are diggin’ in.

Now given that this restaurant is called La Dumpling Room, it’s safe to say that their dumplings are the highlight of their menu. I’d certainly say that they are. While dumplings may be the highlight, be warned that only about a quarter of the items on the menu are actually dumplings. They have Gluten Free Dumplings, three styles of Xiao Long Bao – Pork, Pork With Crabmeat, and Pork With Kimchi Dumplings -, Steamed Vegetable Dumplings,  Steamed Berkshire Pork Dumplings, Antibiotic And Hormone Free Chicken Dumplings with cabbage and mushroom, White Fish with scallion, ginger and celery. and steamed seasonal Vegetable Dumplings. A fairly exhaustive offering, wouldn’t you say?

And what’s a good dumpling without the right sauce? The sauce that comes with the vegetable dumplings was really flavorful.  According to the waiter the sauce is the chef’s secret and he has not shared the recipe with any of the wait staff.  It is certainly soy based and probably flavored with vinegar and oil, but there is some secret ingredient or proportion of ingredients in there that takes it to the next level.

Of course, there are many other delicious offerings on the menu including scallion pancakes, lo mein, soups, and veggies. The pricing is definitely not the cheapest, but the quality is worth it!

Address: 3141 Broadway
