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

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had chicken lo mein, soup dumplings, and sweet and sour chicken (with sauce on the side - our preference.) They have plenty of seating, good service, and the food came out in good timing and was very fresh and hot. We also received hot tea when we were seated. 10/10 recommend!“

“Classic Chinese restaurant, which means it's perfect! Brightly lit, very clean, fast seating and service. The food is prepared quickly and served steaming hot or still sizzling. The dishes are really fresh, well prepared and taste great. Also, the serving portions are gigantic - I'll be eating leftovers for days! Highly recommend for the lunch special, or dinner out. You just gotta go!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetable and tofu dished“

“I don't often review places but this spot is great.

I was slightly worried when we walked in and the staff was amazingly friendly (atypical of your standard Chinese spot). Bantering with customers and laughing and giving out hugs, knowing customers' preferred seating. Super attentive and friendly.

Food came out and was legit.
Soup dumplings were hot and juicy, skin was thin but doesn't break, overall well seasoned.
SJBs had crispy bottoms and fluffy tops, perfect texture.
Rice cakes had wok hay and massive flavor.
Salt Pepper Squid was hot and crispy, with well seared onions/peppers & deep fried shallots to top.

Solid place. Will def go back and try their more Canto focused dishes next time (which looked delicious too).“

“Got the pork belly which was honestly one of the best dishes I’ve had - beautiful taste and fall apart in your mouth ! The cucumber salad was great and refreshing and the rabbit deserts were delightful ! Very fast and prompt service with lovely and nice waiters !! Would highly recommend !“

“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!“

“My friend told us she’s been coming to Joes, at their old location, since she was a kid. She brought us here to eat their xiaoliangbao- we tried the pork and the crab. Very yummy broth, we liked the one with just pork the best.

The restaurant is very clean and modern.

Very delicious.

Dietary restrictions: My wife has a peanut allergy and she was able to eat the xiaoliangbao“

“Shanghai Villa is a fantastic family-owned restaurant with incredible food and genuinely kind people. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The family who runs it is incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful small business!“

“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.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Din Tai Fung has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I’ve visited their locations across Asia more times than I can count. So, I was really looking forward to the opening of this NYC location. It took some time, but as soon as I walked in, I could see why. This isn’t like the more casual branches I’m used to – they’ve gone all out, creating a stunning space that’s perfect for a special night out. Though it’s a large venue, it feels intimate, and the table arrangement makes conversations easy. Service was excellent; our waiter was excited to introduce us to the restaurant and stayed attentive throughout the meal.

Now, the food! We tried two varieties of their signature xiaolongbao – the traditional pork and the pork and crab. Both were superb and just as good as what you’d find in Asia. The paper-thin wrappers are some of the best I’ve had outside of the Pacific, with great flavor and delicious soup inside. The pork chop fried rice was also outstanding – tender, juicy pork served over perfectly cooked fried rice. We also enjoyed the seaweed and tofu salad, which was a great starter. I did miss the wild vegetable tofu and sesame oil salad I’ve had in Asia, but I imagine it might be due to ingredient availability here. Prices are a bit higher than their Asian branches, but for me, the atmosphere and quality were worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Note: Unlike other locations, this one is reservation-only.“

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

“Delicious, well executed dishes. Had the cilantro beef stir fry (ordered extra spicy - and it was! 🤗), and the black mountain ramen - both were excellent. You self order at the kiosk, which worked great, and the food came out promptly. Highly recommend!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

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

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“enjoyable and great food“

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

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Had a great meal at M Shanghai! The service was lovely—our waitress was super sweet and made the experience even better. The green bean and beef was especially delicious—flavorful, well-seasoned, and not overly oily, which I really appreciated. Definitely a solid spot for a cozy, satisfying meal!“

“Good ambient Good food Great services love this restaurants“

“We ordered like 5 or 6 things. Everything was very good to excellent. Essentially the same quality as Soup Dumpling plus, a smaller menu/seating, but nowhere near the same crowd. Service is very good, we love the manager! You cant find better soup dumplings than here in this area without having to wait. Everything all homemade and legit authentic. Their spicy szechuan dumplings are the best you can find in NJ and they offer rare and delicious sauteed snow pea leaves and watercress... Their crab/pork soup dumplings are slighty larger but have a thin chewy wrapper, lots of broth - are phenomenal.“

“This is my third time here and it's been great every time!I order the soup dumplings and beef ramen and it's delicious every time.Definitely recommend it, especially since it's just steps away from Washington Square Park.“

“I’ve lived in Williamsburg for years and always passed by this unassuming place. Let’s start with the staff: absolutely incredible attitude, so happy, so accommodating, like they’re genuinely joyful you’re there. Even when I order takeout post workout they bring me a SPARKLING water while I wait because they know that’s what I always order. From there, the food is great. I always go by myself for a casual dumpling treat. Genuinely incredible food and the price can’t be beat.

I want to support this small business as much as possible. Loved it and could not complement more.“

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

“The pork soup dumps was a SOLID NINE OUT OF TEN. Was not expecting to walk in here but they had a solid deal of $6.95 for the pork soup dumps specifically. You get 6 in one order. I know what you’re thinking, they look alittle sweaty but they’re good! Temp was perfect where it wasn’t burning your mouth. The skin of the dumpling was nice and thin. Soup was rich, can’t complain. Match this was a coke and it’s the perfect recipe. I got 2 orders. Only down side is that I wish they spaced them out alittle more. They got stuck together . Did loose like 3 dumps that fell apart. Just a rinky dinky place. Unsure if I’ll go back for anything more than the dumps but it was a vibe. They need to get new menus. I saw ALOT of orders fly out there. They must be doing something right“

“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.“

“First of all, Jesse deserves a raise. She’s incredible and has served me, my partner, my mother, father, and friend. This is to Jing Lee management - give her that promotion!!!

Secondly, the food is DELICIOUS. It’s rare that multiple people in my life agree on how tasty the food is. The cumin lamb is spicy and covered in distinct, flavorful spices. The crunch of the seasons green beans and the spicy aftertaste is ?.“

“The kitchen creates magic while the staff creates comfort. The team delivered reliable quality throughout our visit. I frequent this place more than any other. The food has that straight-from-market taste. I'll dine at this place again.“

“Great food & service you know it's good when you see Asian familys coming in.“

“DELICIOUS! We had a terrific experience. Food was exceptional and service was wonderful! Will definitely go back next time we are in the city!“

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

“Supreme Restaurant in Chinatown is a great place for authentic Chinese food at affordable prices. The atmosphere is simple and functional, but it's mainly about the food.

The soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are definitely recommended! They are fresh, well filled and have a delicious, rich broth inside. The noodle dishes and steamed buns are also worth a try.

The service is fast and efficient. Don't expect luxury, but if you're looking for delicious, authentic dumplings, this is a top address in Chinatown!“

“Surprisingly good- I didn’t have a strong impression when I dined there near their opening few years ago, but decided to Uber lunch from there recently thinking they must be doing something right to still be around in the competitive fort Lee dining scene and because they were offering BOGO on a few selection of dumplings- so I got 2 beef dumplings for $7.

1. Beef dumplings (3/5, $7, App) - the skin was chewy and the right thickness. The filling could’ve been better in qty and taste but it wasn’t bad. Good value.
2. Shredded beef & pepper noodle soup (4/5, $15, Main) - The soup had nice homey taste and surprisingly generous with amount of toppings. Beef tastes great, chewy without being tough, and pepper has good bite. Only knock was that noodle quantity was slightly lacking.

Dumpling den redeemed itself and I’ll be ordering delivery again from them. I do wish they would expand their BOGO offering to include some other dumpling selections so that we could try more variety.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“The pork fried rice was awesome. The fried dumplings were also good. General Tso chicken was so-so, and the beef and broccoli was good, but it wasn't great. I was with a group, so we ate family style. It was hard to get a good bead as I was trying everything. Service and atmosphere were good. The area is super packed, and parking was nuts. I will definitely return and hopefully update.“
