Soup dumplings among the best in NYC; surprisingly authentic flavors; great ambiance and service; portion sizes a bit too small; truly a blend of east and west; say hi to the dumpling artists :)

good lunch deal- $19 for a main, dumplings, and vegetables. the soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, and spinach were good!

MUST come during happy hour!! Dumplings are half off, couldn't ask for anything better. Personally liked the vegetable dumplings better than the mushroom (also vegetarian) dumplings.

Former exec chef for Din Tai Fung; 3types of soup dumplings: pork, chx & seafood. Also has dan dan noodles, cumin ribs, Cantonese-style cod, & wind-sand chx (HK prep of roasted bird w/fried garlic)

Soup dumplings, taiwanese braised pork rice, taiwanese beef noodle soup, dan dan noodles are my faves. Come for bottomless brunch on the weekends, so fun! Lol

The soup dumpling were delicious but that’s the first I have had them. Dan Dan noodles were too spicy it didn’t let me taste the rest of the dish. We also had the tofu in beef broth it was delicious.

Love the space and the vibe and the dumplings are amazing. I was less impressed by their entrees. Next time I go I will make a meal of ALL of their dumplings, wontons etc.

Soup dumplings are good. But the one to try are the mushroom dumplings! The flavour is amazing!

Multiple orders of excellent soup dumplings. Duck rivaled only by that which I’ve had in Beijing.
ArtemMarch 19, 2018
I got the fried rice with vegetable dumpling lunch special to go. The dumplings were okay, but the fried rice was tasty. Overall, too expensive for what you get.

Lots of organic and healthy-ish options. Get some soup dumplings, a fried rice, and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup

Pork soup dumplings are great! Also try the garlic eggplant!

Must get the pork soup dumplings – the new best in NYC now that The Bao took them off their menu.
Samantha YMarch 16, 2017
I wasn't blown away by the soup dumplings but holy moly, the ma po tofu is bangin! Dan dan noodles have a nice kick to it.
Amanda RellaOctober 29, 2018
Happy hour is amazing deal. $5 soup dumplings and they are unreal! The seafood fried rice is also amazing.

The soup dumplings are obviously AMAZING, but don't miss out on the chicken scallion noodles, ma po tofu, cumin ribs, and garlic eggplant! The wine list is transcendent... let Miguel show you the way.
Ezra PollardJune 27, 2017
Food is fresh, lively and really delicious. Wine list is killer ad well.

Veggies are great!

Everything is good! The dumplings, wontons, shrimp, rice, and noodles!

Soup dumplings are the bomb. Executive chef used to work at Ding Tai Fung (google this if you don't know what this means). Expensive for small portions. Taste made up for the cost.
Andrew FurmanJune 6, 2018
Good but expensive Chinese food
Josh WApril 17, 2023
Great xlb! Stick to the traditional flavors
Caitlin ClementsJuly 24, 2017
5-7PM weekday happy hour, $15 for cocktail and 3 dumplings.

Green beans are surreal. Dumplings, of course.
Ben OdeaDecember 14, 2018
Dumplings, spring rolls, dragon fruit drinks
Matthew TullyJanuary 16, 2019
Happy hour dumplings 👌

Skip brunch here - most of the really good stuff isn't available

Peking duck is the best in the city
Mabel SoJuly 22, 2019
Love the eight treasures; vegetarian dish. Soup dumplings are great. Service is on and off though. Sometimes great but sometimes... I have empty glass of water for the whole meal
Shalom JosephMarch 25, 2017
Try all the dumplings of you can!

Soup dumplings to try: Pork, Chicken and the shiitake mushrooms with truffles are great. The Three cups chicken, ribs and market vegs (we had pea shoots and eggplants) are great to share.
Steo SJuly 3, 2019
Nothing remarkable about this place a part for the incredibly rude staff. The host in particular should be fired. You can find much better Chinese restaurant anywhere in the city.

Xiao Long Bao was expensive - and disappointing. The skin was too thick, and not enough soup inside.
Tianqi LiaoNovember 7, 2017
Would not visit again based on the noodle experience I had. The food tasted bland and undercooked
Jasmine MehrabiJuly 4, 2023
It was fine but overpriced
Julie BorringApril 18, 2019
Dumplings, fried rice w. wagyu beef, the cider and the jasmine tea 👌🏼
Mabel SoApril 10, 2019
Soup dumplings is amazing here! Still looking into trying their happy hour.
Quan NguyenMarch 1, 2019
Definitely the happy hour. Dumps aren't as good as other places but those ribs—don't leave without ordering some!
Colin LeeMay 18, 2019
Solid, but gets crowded; taste similar to cafe china

Nothing special. One more overpriced hipster Chinese restaurant...they did not even try to invent some interesting dishes. Please go to the bao instead
