“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“I have been eating at this restaurant since I was in Pre-K. The food is always amazing and the service is superb as well. The workers are so kind and really care about making your food taste great. Not only are they fast to prepare the food, but they also take pride in their work. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a delicious and hearty meal!“

“Hands down some of the best dumplings around. The pan-fried pork dumplings have the perfect crispy bottom, and the soup dumplings are incredibly flavorful with rich, warm broth. Fast, friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and the homemade chili oil is a game-changer. Must-visit!“

“Delicious food and fast friendly service🍜 soup dumplings & Mongolian beef 👍🏽 my favorite“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“Perfect soup dumplings, other dishes tasty as well, great service! Highly recommend.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“Have eaten here for years with the restaurant having different names, but it has always been good. It's clean, and the wait staff are very helpful. We had wonton soup, shrimp dumplings, and chicken with broccoli to share, and they were all delicious. The price is right too. We always come down to Chinatown to get a good Chinese meal when we come visiting from Florida (native New Yorkers, retired to the sun and hurricanes); this is the spot to hit.“

“If i could tip $100 dollars i would. this place is outstanding, the dumplings are delicious, the place is so cozy and so is the food. and the staff are so kind and prioritize you no matter what. i came in here at 11pm and there was only one person working and i still had a better experience than if i was at a high end restaurant. i could not recommend this place more. excellent dumpling house, i love you!!“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“We’ve been here many times, and this time I really wanted to leave a review because we always have such a great experience.

The dim sum is fresh, delicious, and made in-house. If you love Shanghai-style dim sum and cuisine, I definitely recommend this place.

What really stands out to me is the service and how much they care about their customers. The lady owner is always so attentive. If she notices that we leave some food on the plate, she’ll come over and ask, “Was everything okay? Did you not like it?” You can really feel that she genuinely cares about the food and her customers’ experience.

Everyone here is friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. Great food, great service, and always a comfortable experience. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re around Grand Street!“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“I've been coming here for a few years now and it is now time to finally make my review. The crab meat dumplings always hit the spot and I recommend this over any other option. Pork is alright but it is basic and you can get that anywhere, if you want something great then crab meat is the way to go. I definitely recommend the kung pao chicken, the peanuts were crisp, the spice was on point and the chicken was tender. The sauce to chicken ratio was a good amount as it didn't make the meal feel too watery. It was crispy and delightful.

The service in past years has changed, I have experienced great service and somewhat less of that in the past, but this time I went, the service has certainly redeemed themselves.

When you go to Joe's Shanghai, be open to trying more than just their soup dumplings.“

“I went here with my brother. I loved it. Tea, dumplings, dessert (a sweet rice soup (soup?)). It was all good. I didn’t get any duck. I’ll have to come back for that. Very reasonably priced.“

“On our first day in NYC, we were craving some really good Chinese food. When we researched options, Shanghai Time kept appearing as a great restaurant so we had to try it. We were so glad that we did. We were really glad we did because it was fantastic. The staff there were very nice and attentive.

We love dim sum and this was a wonderful place to have it. They had a really cool version of soup dumplings. The ones they had were crispy and crunchy with soup inside. They're hard to cut without a knife and the soup kept squirting out at me so be careful eating them when they're still really hot. They were really good. Absolutely loved the pork buns which were super flavorful and pillowy goodness. Noodles are my favorite thing to have and these were fantastic. Loved the beef and the flavor of the sauce. It was also super saucy which I loved.

If you're in the area and like Chinese food, check it out.“

“I stumbled across this place: it’s sort of hidden away. My goodness was I surprised. Their food quality is outstanding. I am vegetarian and I had their orange soy chicken. Each bite was perfectly crispy and radiating with flavor. Words cannot do justice. I also like how it seems less-known, it is relatively cheap for the area, and seems family owned.“

“enjoyable and great food“

“service is topnotch friendly..food is superb 10 out of 10! enjoying Chinese cuisine to another level!“

“Waited an eternity to get in - almost 2 hrs. We got our names down for an hour later, came back at that time, and then had to wait down in the lower level all over again before finally getting a table. The food itself was just okay, nothing too bad or too good based on what we ordered (steamed dumplings, spicy noodles, and chicken fried rice). Overall, the wait is definitely not worth the food.“

“Literally ordered one item — their fried tofu vermicelli noodle soup — and was shocked by the portion size. A huge bowl of their tasty duck bone broth, bok choy incuded as well, and all for $5. In this economy? Insane! Will definitely be back to try more of their menu if ever in the area!“

“The food is traditional Shanghai food.the taste is very good! We ordered a holiday set of dishes, every one is perfect. The service is great too, they came to our table as we needed. Will be back to try other dishes again. Thanks Lao Yu Yuan!“

“I lived in NY for 37 years and nothing beats the food. That being said, I moved to Florida 4 years ago for work and haven't been back until last week. We went in for Thanksgiving (work), and decided we would do take out for dinner. This place was amazing. Food is always what I expected.....New York food is the best. The staff was super friendly, the prices were not anything crazy, and the food was ready within 10 minutes. We brought it back to the hotel and ate all of it. I don't know how food is where you are, but they always bury it in rice. Not here. They gave so much chicken and pork on top of the rice, I was very satisfied. Highly recommended.“

“If there is one dumpling to eat now in NYC, it is this one. This may be the absolutely best, most thoughtful, tasty, decadent, savory dumpling, noodles, and cocktails in the city - not to mention the atmosphere and attention to detail and steps of service. Kudos to the TINs team! I will be back!“

“Really enjoyed my meal at Lao Ke Le! The dishes were flavorful and well prepared, especially the Shanghai-style dishes and the mildly spicy Sichuan options. Portions were generous, ingredients tasted fresh, and everything came out nicely presented. The restaurant felt comfortable and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. A great spot in Flushing for sharing several dishes with friends or family.“

“Shanghai cuisine, Shanghai flavor restaurant“

“Great place to go. The food was excellent, the ambiance is also very nice, with the space being much larger than I expected. Service was also top notch,I would definitely recommend to anyone. Looking forward to returning to try other dishes!“

“Good ambient Good food Great services love this restaurants“

“Awesome scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup, and chicken fried rice. We eat here as soon as we land from Saint Louis each time we visit NYC. Staff is extremely attentive and always on top of anything you need.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Bao Boom is a great spot for authentic Shanghai-style pan-fried buns (生煎包). The buns have a perfectly crispy bottom, a soft and fluffy top, and a juicy, flavorful filling. The combination of textures makes every bite delicious. If you’re craving traditional Shanghai comfort food, this place is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended!“

“Baodega is one of the best restaurants in NYC. Places like these are what makes this city as special as it is.

My family has been coming here most weekends for years, and have never had a meal short of exceptional. The service is attentive and kind, the food is incredible and there is no feeling for us like sitting at a table in Baodega.

The food is incredible and always brings us back. The pan-fried bao on the first page of the menu and dry pot chicken or beef are standouts, but every item on the menu we’ve tried has been phenomenal.

Baodega is a very special place that deserves to be among Best Of lists. I hope it never closes. Thank you for serving the best Chinese food in the city!!!!!“

“My all time favorite soup dumpling place...lots of soup and thin skin. Just don’t order too many at one time cus they stick & break & the soup leaks out. 😢“

“Went here with my boyfriend last night because everything else truly does just close at 10pm. Food was spectacular and the vibe was so warm and friendly. Rachel was the sweetest and made us feel right at home. We’ll be back so soon!! 💜“

“Perfectly done so delicious“

“Family lunch in Chinatown, Manhattan, with the whole crew, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, siblings, all packed around one table at Supreme Restaurant on Mott St. The place sits right between Chinatown and Little Italy, no-frills and functional inside, the kind of spot that focuses entirely on the food rather than the decor, and you can watch the dumplings being made fresh right in front of you.

We started with Salted Edamame and Cucumber with Garlic, then the table filled up fast: Szechuan-style Wontons, Soup Dumplings, Dong Po Pork, Fried Rice, Fried Pork Dumplings, Roasted Pork Buns, Scallion Pancakes, and Wonton Soup. Every dish came out hot and fast, which matters a lot with a table this size. The Soup Dumplings lived up to the hype, thin skin, rich broth, everything intact. The Dong Po Pork was rich, tender, and fell apart exactly the way it should.

Service stayed quick and attentive even with a big, loud family table ordering nonstop. A great pick for a large family gathering, generous portions, consistent food, and the kind of authentic Shanghainese cooking that keeps locals coming back. One heads up: it's cash only, so come prepared. Left the table full, happy, and already planning the next visit.“

“The food was amazing! We had the chicken soup dumplings, the pan fried chicken curried
dumplings, the udon noodles and they all hit the spot!! Felt very home made and tasted so good it was heart warming. The waiter was super kind and we are definitely coming back!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“This place has the best, most authentic wontons I've ever had outside of Shanghai. Both the small and large wontons are delicious. Every time I go I get the large wontons to eat and a frozen pack to go. They have a delicious lion's head meatball too. I'd go daily if I lived nearby.“

“One of the best fried rice they have. The food is really good. Friendly service.“

“Good food and beautiful decor. The service is very good too.“

“Excellent service and delicious food. I had the vegi fried rice and Peppers with beef.“

“Been here a few times for to-go orders. the quality is solid - dumplings are mostly consistent, as are the chicken dishes. The entree portions are good for the price. Very bare-bones seating area (2-3 small parties tops) but that doesn't affect the food.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience here. The food was exceptional, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. It's rare to find a spot that nails all three,food, atmosphere, and hospitality,so well. I'll definitely be coming back soon.“
