Rickshaw Dumplings Invade Dumbo

In a move that can’t have the folks up the street at Rice too happy, the Manhattan-based Rickshaw Dumplings parked their truck at the corner of Front and Washington Streets yesterday in Dumbo (a fact that did not go unnoticed by DumboNYC). According to the woman behind the counter, they plan to make it a regular Monday tradition if sales go well.
Rickshaw Dumplings are overpriced and taste like crap – from both their truck and store .. be smart, save $ and go to Chinatown for tasty dumplings!
For $3 bucks you can get 8 dumplings from any chinese restaurant that will most likely be better than Rickshaw dumplings!
Were they magic beans?
I went to Rickshaw on 52nd and Lex last week. I paid almost $10 for a handful of dumplings and a bit of edamame. What a rip-off, I was hungry 5 minutes later. Whether they suck or not is a matter of opinion, but most of us can agree that in the middle of a depression/recession/downturn, that $10 for 6 tiny dumplings and some beans is insane.
I just passed by a Rickshaw truck here in Midtown. It’s like Brownstoner in Sensurround.
can anyone open one of these trucks? can you pull up anywhere? I’ve always wondered how that works and, if it’s the wild west, why someone doesn’t bury mister softee.
We’ve had their dumplings 2x and they most assuredly did NOT suck. Not the equivalent of down-and-dirty real Chinatown stuff, but fresh flavors and nifty little dipping sauce. Only problem is you can’t get a mixed order, just all-chick, all-veg or all-pork.
Rickshaw kills Rice–their food is so much better. Great pickup for dumbo.
