Ordered delivery. They kept the order open for 45 mins before canceling it. Terrible service, avoid at all costs

Very underwhelming. The food taste/quality was nothing special, which would be fine, if not for the high price of each item.
You can get much better and affordable food at literally any other dumpling spot.

The service was fast. I ordered the 50/50 plate. We loved the dumplings, but I think it was about $16 plus tax and tip. I think it was a bit expensive, but we got 10 dumplings. We sat by the window with my kid, and we had a good time.

Just had a fabulous meal at Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings, and I’m already planning my next visit! Started off with the Scallion Pancake, crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of greasy goodness. The Spicy Dan Noodles were perfectly cooked with a kick that’s bold but not overwhelming. And of course the star of the show is the Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings. They’re everything you want in a dumpling, plump, juicy, and packed with flavor. It’s easy to see why this spot is a local favorite. Whether you’re a dumpling aficionado or just looking for a tasty bite, you’ve got to check out Mimi Cheng’s.
In general, I eat a lot of seafood and vegetable dumplings. A small bit of meat dumplings here and there. Dumplings are one of my food groups. It is really hard to find a good clean simple and flavorful vegetable dumpling. This is the best I’ve had in nyc. Reminds me of my grandmothers. I really like how the ingredients aren’t also mushed together, you can really taste and see the vegetable that you’re eating. The crispy cabbage salad with the subtle, light but flavorful dressing is not to be missed! Pairs excellent with vegetable dumpling! As far as the price, it’s in East Village, everyone has to pay their rent and utilities, small mom and pop looking location, made by hand, great quality tasting ingredients, perfect in my opinion, so completely worth it!
So above is my first review from about a week ago. I was in the neighborhood again and enjoyed them so much the first time decided to come back and get the same thing. Unfortunately, we’re not the best dumplings. They were cold and still raw so asked them to be reheated. Three came back slightly broken and were still raw and cold, which was a bummer. The dumpling sauce also tastes different. The cabbage salad lacked the amount of dressing from the first time. I really want to love this place because they have good items but need to work on consistency. My first visit was 5 out of 5 stars for food. My second visit was 1 out of 5 for food. So I am changing it to 3 stars. Took off a star second time for service since the guy was nice but seemed to be more concerned with his phone than food.

Best dumplings I've had thus far. I get pan fried pork every time and they've always been consistent over the years. The dumpling sauce compliments the dumplings well. Very satisfying.

The food is good. The tables were all dirty and the service seemed very lackluster.

Fantastic place for dumplings! Very fresh and tasted incredible. Around $15 for 8 of them?will definitely be back.
Owner is rude - I would have liked it but had a bad taste in my mouth. Food is mediocre at best.

Asian food for yt people type beat. Super inauthentic. Chili oil being listed as an extra $2 should tell you everything. Got the bone broth soup—ingredients did not go together, felt random, and were undercooked. Saltiness is still in my mouth. We had to power through to finish. Much better luck getting actual Taiwanese food in Chinatown or elsewhere at better price. Was really excited to try this place with a friend but ended up disappointed.
Really good and clean
