Dong Bei Dumpling
A small, handmade dumpling takeout spot on Yuchengco Street, where the pork and chive dumplings are a staple of Binondo food crawls.
Located at 642 Yuchengco Street, at the corner of V. Tytana Street, this spot specializes in handmade Northeastern Chinese dumplings. The signature dish is the pork and chive dumplings, but they also serve pork and cabbage dumplings, fried dumplings, and xiao long bao, as well as frozen dumplings to take home. The shop currently operates as takeout only with no tables or chairs, and many customers eat right outside, which is something to keep in mind on rainy days or if you prefer to sit. Lines can form during peak hours. Prices are very budget-friendly, with 14 pork and chive dumplings costing around PHP 200 and a 6-piece xiao long bao around PHP 200, though these are prices from about two years ago. Operating hours vary slightly by source but generally run from around 09:00 to 19:00 or 20:00.
