Our Story
In 1990, two brothers John and Tidemon Douglas, decided to open J&T Community Fish Shop on Bronxwood Ave. Soon, they started to fry fish on a burner stove they had borrowed from a friend. Months later, they began frying dumplings and the customers were so happy they decided to name the store “The Dumpling Shop”. Tidemon passed away and John migrated back to Jamaica, while the business was run by his three nephews and brother.
After 23 years on Bronxwood Ave., the shop relocated to E 222nd St. and took on a new life. Now that the partnership is separated the business is in the capable hands of Anthony, Collin, and Errol. Years later, this establishment is still upholding the family dream. The Original Dumpling Shop opened its doors on August 23, 2018. Here we offer a variety of mouth-watering authentic Jamaican dishes. The taste, lower prices and authenticity of our foods will remind you how grandma used to make it.
