China North Dumpling is your best bet for some delicious, cheap dumplings without the hassle or crowds of Vanessa’s or Prosperity.

$3 bucks buys you 10 dumplings (steamed or fried) and unlike some of the other places, these are really fresh tasting (seems like they use fresh ginger) which really sets them apart and you feel like you’re getting a higher quality product.

The place is a dump, as any good dumpling spot should be. So, get your food, scarf it down and get the hell out of there.

I guarantee it will be the most enjoyable 4 minutes of your day.
