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.

I really can't say anything about the food because the service was just so rude that we decided not to eat there.I came in with my 2 kids, and while standing in line to order asked about the restroom.Despite there being a law requiring to provide restrooms to that sized restaurant (and common decency really), i was told there is no restroom. When i said we really want to eat there, but my kids just have to use the restroom first- can they use the employee restroom, the person at the counter just rudely said no.My kids still really wanted to order, so i asked "can i have the 50/50 with the chicken dumpling and the monthly special", she just said "no".I had to ask and apparently you cant combine the monthly special (of course that isn't mentioned anywhere).Now, if she had at least been polite, and said "im sorry, but we cant", i would have accepted that. But just saying "no" very rudely? If you hate working there, you shouldn't work in customer service.

Dumplings had very thick skin, and they kept falling open while I was eating them.Might come back to try the dandan noodles and update my review.

I dined here in December 2019 with my daughter during a fun day in Soho. The dumplings were absolutely delicious, and I would love to go back and see how they have evolved since then. I do not remember which dumplings we had, but I think we also had a scallion pancake.

Pleasant, and convivial dinning area. Before coming to Mimi Cheng's I did not like dumplings at all. Mimi Cheng's changed my perspective of dumplings. Definitely 10/10!! Came in today with my family, employees are very welcoming and pleasant. Food was very presentable and dining area is very clean. Will definitely come back with my family, we all enjoyed.
The food at this place is incredible. I have been dying to try it for such a long time and finally was able to check it out this past weekend.The buckwheat noodles were delicious and my vegan friend was super happy with them. Unfortunately for him, I stole more bites than I promised I would!I had the special for the month which was so rich - a Scallion Pancake Birria Quesadilla. So good and the consommé it was served with could have been a soup on its own.I cannot wait to go back again to work my way through this menu!

Bad, burnt dumplings with rancid oil flavor. No restroom for paying customers. AND bad service. This place used to be very good and has gone way downhill. I'm sad to see a once "go to" dumpling place take a turn. We ordered two kinds of dumplings, both pan fried and they were burnt and tasted like the oil was old. The dipping sauce was watery and odd. (Definitely not like it used to be) Not sure what happened but I hope they can get back on the right track. Also get a bathroom! That's just instantly annoying to customers to not be able to use the restroom and at least wash your hands after walking in NYC.
Made a quick stop in here specifically for these Peter Luger steak bao buns. They were bomb. So delicious and they even came with the signature chocolate coins from Peter Lugers. We also tried the pork and chive dumplings and the chicken dumplings. Both very delicious and freshly made. The cucumber salad was pretty flavorless. Good place for a dumpling quick fix. A little pricey.

Delicious dumplings, chicken and rice was also super tasty. I don't like food that makes me feel heavy and slow, this food was great, I felt healthy and refreshed after eating.

This place looks so cute and unassuming from the outside that I popped in for lunch. Three small tables outside provided a sunny perch for a few diners. The choice of vegetarian dumplings did not look super interesting so I opted for the Dan Dan noodles. Well, the noodles themselves are cooked perfectly, that much is true. But the sauce does not deliver and I'm afraid this dish is all about the sauce. It's a little spicy but it's mostly nothing. There is a bit of flash boiled bok choy that comes with it which is nice. Unfortunately this didn't quite make the cut for me. Perhaps the dumplings are better.
