Ollie's Sichuan


411 West 42nd Street
(between Ninth Avenue and Dyer Avenue)


If you’re in Time Square and looking for a light snack before or after a Broadway show or movie, Ollie’s is a good option, especially if you’re in the mood for soup dumplings!

 
Ollie’s is a restaurant that has been around for years. I’ve been to other branches, but not this one. The décor is pretty basic for a Chinese family-style restaurant.

 
They immediately serve you a pot of tea, without your needing to request one. So that’s appreciated.


 The soup dumplings are listed as Shanghai Little Juicy Pork Buns on the menu and you get six (6) for $7.95.

 

The dumplings are a nice size and did not break upon picking up with the tongs! Very doughy and full of good soup juice. Just the way I like my soup dumplings!!

 
NOTE: The dumplings take about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. And the wait-staff advise you of that upon ordering.

I only tried the dumplings on this visit, but I would return to try a full meal!
