We decided to try Oh Dumplings in Chinatown, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
First thing to point out the service was very slow. We took into consideration that there were other people at the restaurant, but the delays were still hard to justify. Our order included Beef & Coriander Dumplings, Fish & Coriander Dumplings, General Tao Chicken, Chicken Noodles, Vegetable Fried Rice, & Wonton Soup.
The dumplings came out after about 15-20 minutes, followed by the General Tao shortly after. But then, we waited around 40-45 minutes for the rest of our food. By the time the noodles & fried rice arrived, we had already finished the dumplings & General Tao, sitting at an empty table for almost an hour just waiting for the rest. At that point, we honestly lost our appetite.
The food itself is okay nothing mind-blowing but decent. The dumplings were flavorful, especially with the coriander touch. The General Tao was on the sweeter side, which may not be for everyone. The fried rice & noodles were fine, but after waiting so long, we didn't really enjoy them as much as we could have.
Overall if you have patience & time to spare, the food is passable, but nothing about the taste justifies that long of a wait. We likely won't be returning anytime soon unless they improve the service speed.View more
My partner & I went on a Sunday afternoon, & we were served by a pleasant young waitress. We ordered the spicy beef & peanut soup --a definite favourite of ours. We also had a side of chicken & cabbage dumplings which were tasty. The prices are always easy on the pocket, which we appreciate!View more
Had a mixed experience. While the chicken dumplings, fried rice, & noodles were good, the veg dumplings & veg balls were not upto the mark (infact left them in the plate). Service was a bit disappointing-one waiter seemed rude (possibly due to the rush), & the 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, without giving us a choice. Overall, ok for non-veg lovers, but vegetarians & those expecting flexible service might be disappointed.View more
came here twice - tried the chicken & coriander/cilantro dumplings & the pork & chives. both flavors were excellent; but we found the chicken/coriander one more memorable. 15 pieces for about CA $13/14 was a great deal for a quick meal. if you plan on doing takeout with a lot of dishes, bring your own bag as they do not include one (or you can purchase one for 25 cents)View more
The staff were kind enough to seat us half an hour before the 9 pm closing, & spoke excellent English. We had an order of pork & cabbage dumplings, which were juicy & flavorful. Also had incredibly crispy & light salt & pepper chicken, & beef noodles, lightly fried, not greasy. True, it's not an extensive menu, but it was longer than the other dumpling place's down the street. The interior was basic & clean, but you're not coming for ambience. We enjoyed watching the ladies make the dumplings by hand, from their glassed in station. We're from out of town but eat good Chinese food often in NYC at its various Chinatowns. I can be snobby about Asian food, being Asian myself. I have this well proven theory that the best Chinese places don't bother too much about decor & fancy bathrooms, they are all about the food. This, my friends, is the real deal, although the menu isn't that adventurous, it's got some very well executed greatest hits. My somewhat picky 8 year old couldn't stop eating the dumplings & chicken! We will try to eat here again during our trip.View more
We came here with our children for lunch. The portions are good & food is tasty. We came 2pm on a Wednesday & its was very quiet. Only 2 other customers. The salt & pepper shrimps were awesome. Chicken stir- fried noddles were great portion & kids enjoyed them. We got the chicken & chive dumplings. They were great. The chicken & cabbage ones were OK. We would recommend this place.View more

Being a dumpling fan, I had to try this place (has been open for approx. 1yr). You can view the menu online, there's is alot of other options if your not a dumpling kinda person.
We had (15) steamed chicken & coriander dumplings, (15) pan fried(one sided) pork & chinese cabbage dumplings & a side (wich could be a entree because it's huge) of cold spicy noodle salad (cucumbers, chinese watermelon, egg, rice noodles). All of it was delicious! First off, 15 dumplings for 10-12$ is a great value. The stuffing was juicy & tasty, far from some bland dumplings I've had out there. The cold noodle salad sounds weird, you imagine a cold plate of naked spaghetti, but it's completly the opposite, tasty, saucy, spicy, lots of vegs.
The bathroom is a hike up four flights of stairs so not exactly convenient for the elderly or children.
My only complaint is the service. Waiter only speaks english, he never came around to fill up our water glasses, nor did he offer a fork (could have been useful for noodles), we never got extra napkins.
I will definetely go back for the pan fried dumplings & try out some other noodle flavors.
