La Salle Dumpling Room

I have yet to try their soup dumplings (which seem to be a hit on Yelp , but I have ordered their Shredded Beef with Hot Pepper twice now, and I was delighted both times. The sauce is flavorful and has a hint of sweetness to it. The dish isn't very spicy, but it's still delicious. The second time that I ordered food from here, I got takeout, and my rice was somewhat dry; that is my only complaint. The dish reminds me of the beef with peppers that I used to get at a Chinese restaurant near my old home; it brings back fond memories! The service is great--we got our food quickly, and everyone in the restaurant was lovely. La Salle is a fun spot to grab a quick bite or to order takeout from during final exam season! ;

As a man who has ate in almost every Chinese spot in Manhattan, this restaurant is absolutely quite something else. No ,literally. The restaurant looks absolutely phenomenal, it's amazing how they could build a contemporary yet 100% Chinese styled restaurant in Harlem. The dishes all tastes authentic but also combined with some improvements in them( for Americans of course). Not the biggest menu you might notice, but that is precisely what makes them unique, each dish has been cooked over and over again everyday, saturated with the chef's experiences and techniques. Trust me, it's quite something!!

My absolute favorite favorite place to get soup dumplings, no exaggeration. They are the best most flavorful soup dumplings ever. I live in Brooklyn and travel all the way to Harlem just to eat here. I've probably have gone almost 20 times now. Lol the rest of their food is really delicious as well I've tried most of their menu since it's pretty small and straight to the point. It's definitely worth the trip. It's small inside but that's what makes it perfect. The small staff is great on making sure you get your food quickly. Absolutely love this place and everyone should drop in , your missing out ! (also don't have the best pics since I always eat everything to fast, lol

I’ve been four times just in the last month! Attentive service, sweet but-not-too-sweet boba, tasty kimichi pork soup dumplings, and the beef scallion pancakes are fantastic. Plus, reasonably priced! This place deserves more stars

Highly recommend the plant based xiao long bao and dan dan noodles! Many vegetarian options are available and staff were able to prepare gluten free dishes (but not gluten free dumplings).
