Excellent Treasure

This treasure is a guilty pleasure of mine.


The exterior doesn't look like much - paper covered windows and a green and white awning - but the Excellent Dumpling House on Lafayette flashy decor is not needed. 

Its name doesn't lie - the dumplings ($4.75) are excellent - but so is the rest of the menu. It's the perfect place to satisfy that Chinese food craving on tight budget.  Most of the lunch specials are only $5.75 and include a choice of soup and rice. 

Come indulge in that sweet and sour chicken ($8.25)  you've been wanting to order. The cashew chicken (also $8.25) is delicious, covered in just the right amount of sauce. 

It even offers low calorie options such as shrimp and broccoli ($8.25) so that you don't have to feel like you are over eating!

The Excellent Dumpling House is between Canal and Walker Street. Just a hop, skip, and jump from the Canal Street stops of the J, M, Z, N, R, Q, W, and the 6. 

And it delivers.
