What's Good Here

Be sure to order the delicious steamed pork buns or steamed crab meat pork buns . These are what are otherwise known as Shanghai soup dumplings or xiao long bao (XLB). They are freshly handmade .

ZenFoodster

Love steamed buns w/ 'shroom & bok choy & pan-fried egg & chive 1's. Star item is Chinese hand-pulled noodle called "la-mien"-NOT Japanese ramen . Don't order veggie 1 & have it hand-cut 4 xtra $1.

Savannah Petrick

the xiao long bao are juicy and the skin is a good thickness but the meat isn't super tasty. duck buns are yummy. service is really quick & the place feels authentic , especially by midtown standards.

Amanda Nanawa

Really good, fresh dumplings and all at a very affordable price . Clean restaurant & bathroom was impeccable. We ordered pan fried dumplings , steamed pork dumplings , & wonton soup w/dumplings. Tasty!

How to eat the steamed dumplings : Lift one onto your spoon. Poke a tiny hole in the top of the thin skinned wrapper. If desired, top with some vinegar & ginger . Blow to cool. Sip out the soup . Eat.

Great chinese ramen , i just wish they used better shrimp but I can’t complain with the balanced taste. Always order the scallion beef pancake- a must!

Malcolm Chang

An outpost of the original location in Flushing, it's a pleasant surprise to stumble on it in Midtown East. Try the signature soup dumplings - the skins are really thin and easy to break.

James H.

We enjoyed the warm service and good dim sum . The shop is clean and nicely decorated with very good soup dumplings , buns and noodle dishes . A welcoming experience.

Deborah B

Feels like a small local Chinese joint straight out of China. Meaning authentic Chinese food . They even had Fan Qie Chao Ji Dan (Tomato and Stir-Fried Egg ) which I don't usually come across here.

Please, try different dishes to share with friends so you can enjoy a variety of delicious steam dumplings !

On the pricier side for the portion size, however what you are getting is a very authentic meal that is high quality and delicious.

Don't let the restaurant name fool you. This is a very authentic restaurant . The "ramen " is not Japanese ramen , but are hand-pulled noodles similar lo mein .

David

Mala bowl was really good. Seemed pretty authentic — wood ear, daikon , szechuan peppercorn . Mmmm still tingly.

The vegetable bun is delicious: Mushroom and Bok Choy very well flavored. It will leave your mouth satisfied

What's Good Here

The soup dumplings here are even better than those at Joe's Shanghai. You can watch them being made, also.

Try house special ramen with spicy paste and hand cut noodles ????

D C

wonton soup is my favorite menu item here (my mom raves about it too). 牛肉夹饼 a close second

What's Good Here

That pounding sound you hear in the kitchen is from one of the cooks pounding and hand pulling the dough into fine noodles .

Tiffany

Spicy beef noodle soup is good. The spicy sauce is homemade and very spicy !

Chao

Clean spaces and delicious soup dumplings

Ting

Xiaolongbao have just the perfect minimum amount of skin necessary to contain all that soup inside.

Aron

Steamed pork buns with crab meat ; mmm, so good. (6)

Polina Weitz

The pork soup dumplings are good, but I've had better. The pan-fried pork dumplings are great as always.

Jeff S

So good! Everything I've had has been delicious.

Naomi Perez Naitoh

The chicken stir fry and crab dumplings are delicious!!!!

Zack Kantor

soupy dumps have a fire ratio (skin thickness to amount of soup ) ???? but lack the flavor of Chinatown buns

Boon Koh

The crab and pork soup dumplings are the best.

Евгений П.

Soup dumplings with crab were exceptional !

Chris Natoli

Stir fried "ramen " has really good noodles , but the vegetarian one doesn't have many vegetables

Polina Weitz

Nice shanghai pan fried pork buns and scallion pancakes

Ashwin Raj Kumar

This is the first restaurant to host Chinese authentic desserts

ZenFoodster

Pauline not only 1) lied abt being manager & my food order being delivered; 2) didn't know how to ck on my Seamless order's status; 3) doesn't speak English well & yet, 4)was totally arguing & bitchy!

Y S

Food is good. Be careful that they already include the tips in your check and they try to hide it

Raphael Okochu

Their steamed dumplings are heavenly

Fen²

I loved the stir fry ramen !

Richard Lau

Get the drunken chicken and spicy beef noodles !

Sonya Doshi

Soup dumplings are a must

ZenFoodster

Sista to its W'side original, this Midtown E joint is pricy but real deal. Oily Shanghai spring rolls , OK XLBs & thick-skinned but tasty Pan-fried pork dumplings . Ask 4 black vinegar & ginger w/ XLBs

Yueyue Guo

Soup dumpling is pretty good but stir fried noodles are super greasy

Bart Massi

The soup dumplings are good.

ZenFoodster

To Owner: hire employees who know WTF they're doing & don't spend 10 min arguing instead of checking on whereabouts of a 1.5 HOUR delayed delivery ! Lost a loyal customer & never ordering here again!

What's Good Here

Very clean bathrooms .

Jeffrey W

Actually authentic

Tim McClure

The spicy udon was pretty mediocre

James H.

We love the food but were disappointed with added service charge 15% for two diners plus tip line with more suggested gratuities on credit slip. Were they hoping we missed the service charge on bill?
