Affordable and quick meal if you are in the area. When you go down the steps, you order and pay in the back There are plenty of seatings but didn't see a bathroom. They have a lot of affordable combos. I ordered combo a for $6.50 no tax added. It's shaxi wontons and peanut noodles. The noodles had a great bouncy texture and the sauce was perfect amount of Unami with a hit of sweetness. The wontons were okay. It's a lot less plump than the old duck restaurant near by and I had to add the white vinegar. I do recommend this place if you are on a budget. Service was fast no frills.

Very surprised by the low average review. Yes this place lacks ambiance, but the food is good and dirt cheap. We ordered the wonton, steamed chive dumplings and the peanut noodles. Good portion size and the grand total was $11. The wontons were numerous, tasty, and swimming in a very nice broth. The noodles in peanut sauce had a nice balance of peanuts and saltiness from the soy sauce. The noodles were cooked to perfection. The dumplings were probably the weakest of the three. Definitely worth a visit.

- I loved the pork gyoza - its perfectly soft and fried at the same time - I really liked the dipping sauce - turnover time is really fast

Lowkey spot to hit, if you are craving authentic fuzhou quick eats. We got the combos A, B and C. Which had wonton soup (tender and slippery) with each combo. Between the steamed dumplings, fried dumplings and peanut butter noodles. The steamed dumplings mimics a xiao long bal w. The dumpling sauce.

Actually my Malaysian Chinese Mom and l ate at a new Shaxian Snacks at 300 Grand Street, NY, NY 10002, Tel. 929 966-9998 but l did not see an option to review that location on Yelp. We had steamed pork dumplings with peanut sauce, brisket with vegetables in noodle soup and fish porridge. All was yummy especially the silky textured and well seasoned savory porridge.

This is my pick for the shaxian food. I grew up in the town an hour from shaxian so I have this food growing up. Came here for a quick fix because I was home sick and really craving a good wonton. Unlike the Cantonese wonton the shaxian wonton taste different also have a different texture. I have to say they really do it well here and each wonton have really good round filling of the meat, add some wine vinegar and white pepper to taste better But for the noodle I don't really taste the good flavor, it's very much hit and miss even at home, not everyone can make a good peanut soy noodle. The place is self service and make sure you clean up after you finish. Some people left their plates on the table they ask people to take it when you leave.

We ordered from Shaxian Snacks for the first time recently, drawn in by the photos of wonton soups and dumplings. Conveniently, they had combos that included both wontons and dumplings, so we got one with fried pork dumplings and one with steamed pork dumplings. We also ordered some leek dumplings on the side. My favorite part of the meal was the fried pork dumplings. They had the most flavor out of everything we got, and they held up pretty well for delivery. The steamed pork dumplings were fine, very pretty to look at, but not that flavorful. I love leek dumplings, but while these tasted good, they had almost no discernible leek flavor at all. The meat in the wontons was a little tougher and chewier than I prefer, but the broth was good. Even though the carton looked small when I took it out of the bag (it was the smaller size of the standard soup takeout containers), it was filling and came packed with wontons. The food was more of a 3-3.5* for me, but rounding up to 4* because the delivery was great, nothing leaked, and everything seemed fresh. I think if we order again, I might try something different to go along with some fried dumplings.
