2 months agoChinatown has so many great dumpling options, and this is one of them. Tucked away in a modest food hall, this Taiwanese food stall serves a variety of friend and boiled dumplings, and adds an egg drop soup for free with a dumplings purchase. It is no frills, but tasty.

6 months agoThe atmosphere at 98 Mott Street is a nice communal one good for big groups. I wanted to try the veggie dumpling- and asked for pan fried. They came with sauce and toppings which made them the best decorated veggie dumpling I ever had. The staff at Sanmiwago were very nice and friendly.

7 months agoSanmiwago took a moment to find--tucked inside Mott Street Eatery, a bustling little food hall--but once we spotted it, we couldn't wait to try their Taiwanese dumplings. The woman at the counter was incredibly sweet and welcoming. I loved that she spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin (and likely English too), which made the experience feel warm and familiar. We asked for her recommendation, and she suggested the pork and chive pan-fried dumplings--which turned out to be absolutely delicious. They had a crisp, golden bottom and were bursting with flavor. To our surprise, the dumpling order even came with a little cup of egg drop soup, which was such a sweet and satisfying touch. We also tried the beef noodle soup, which was rich, comforting, and perfect for the chilly, rainy day we visited. The vibe at Mott Street Eatery is very community-centered, with large shared tables that seat five or more. Seating is limited, so don't be surprised if a stranger ends up at your table--but honestly, that just adds to the charm. It's a lovely reminder of how food can bring people together. If you're in the mood for Taiwanese comfort food in a casual, welcoming setting, Sanmiwago is a hidden gem worth finding.
