All that talk at the start of the day about the new Rickshaw location peaked our interest. When we started nodding off in the old cubicle, it seemed like a good time for a Peking duck dumpling break. The verdict? We enjoyed eating them, and even more, we enjoy knowing that we will file our $6 receipt for the six dumplings and be reimbursed. $1 per dumpling? Do I look like some kind of NYU kid to you? We found the pan-fried dumplings overly oily. The dough was not thick or dry, though. One more question for Kenny Lao: What'd you do with the skin?

Totally agree about the dumplings being oily. I think the worst part about Rickshaw is the inconsistency. You could go for a great dumpling and salad combo, you could show up and have them OUT of all salads (has happened to me 3 times at the 23rd location), or you could go up and get a sticky, oily mess. You just never know...

Thanks for the update. I may still stop by to try it. Maybe they're better steamed. Sort of closer to actual peking duck dishes.
