Pork dumplings with chili oil

I ordered pork dumplings and they arrived completely raw! The scallion pancakes were greasy.

This was my first visit. I just need a quick and tasty lunch. So I took a chance on 3 Times. It worked out. I must say the soup dumplings and noodles were delicious. My noodles had a good flavor along with a little bite. The service was excellent and ordering your food was easy. If you're in the area. GET SOME!!!!!!

I came here for lunch. Food is ordered using a kiosk. I had chicken soup dumplings, spring rolls and iced lychee iced tea. The quick meal hit the spot. Small space to accommodate takeout and dining in options. Service was quick.

Wontons in chili sauce. Left feeling still hungry though it was good.

I went back for the dumplings/wontons. I had the pork/shrimp ones in chili sauce. It was good but I left still feeling hungry.

I wanted something filling and warm. I looked online and this location was close to work and I saw that it had great reviews. I reviewed the site online and the menu and ordered the small wonton soup and fried noodles with seafood. I easily paid online through the YELP app for pickup. The pickup time was quite quick and I immediately went over to pick it up. The location faces Water Street but there is work being done to the surrounding area so you have to really be observant of your surroundings to locate the restaurant. The restaurant is a bit small but adequate for dine in. The service is okay, no one really greeted me or ask me if I needed assistance. I had say excuse me twice to get their attention but my order was ready and I took it and left. The food was great the servings were large and the soup was nice mix of broth, seaweed, and wonton. It was warm and filling. It was also not salty. Which was so nice. So many times when I get wonton soup it's salty. The fried noodles were great but it only had shrimp and the description said seafood. I was expecting some additional types of seafood. All in all it was a really good meal

My partner and I stopped by the other day for dinner and really enjoyed the food. It was a rainy Sunday with a lot of people coming and going to pick up takeout (also quite a few dining in!). The Hong Kong style fried rice was my favorite, with the shrimp wontons in chili oil coming in close second. The rest of the food delicious as well. Service was friendly, but a little slow given how busy their takeout section was. Very understandable, given it's a small place and the food was great. Would return again!

Shanghai fried noodles with chicken & veggie spring rolls

I was in the area for an event and stopped in for dinner before I went ahead period I usually go to other locations of this chain and this was my first visit to this period the staff was a little more like a fast food version and you order at the counter and wait for your food. The kitchen door is often open as it is the entrance to the restroom. It isn't as clear/clean as the other locations (there are viewing windows to watch noodle pulls). It was very oily, but the flavors were still there. Not the best, nor the worst.

A2. Crab SoupDump6! 5/5. IG: @amei.eats

(Overall: 85% | B) - The servers are nice and attentive and the place looks great and can fit a large group of people! Overall, pretty reasonably priced and decent quality Chinese food. (Garlic Chili Eggplant: 100% | A+) - The eggplant was the star of the meal! It was masterfully cooked such that it was tender on the inside and kept texture on the outside. It was well flavored with an addicting garlic chili sauce that wasn't too spicy that made this dish very desirable. (Sauteed Chinese Broccoli: 77.5% | C) - The Chinese broccoli was correctly cooked but boring and needed garlic and/or oyster sauce to lift the dish. (Chili Wontons: 95% | A) - The chili wontons surprised me in a good way -- they were meticulously prepared and presents itself as a delicate dish; the flavors had a natural balance -- it brought a nice saltiness without being too spicy that was pleasant overall. (Vegetarian Dumplings: 55% | F) - The vegetarian dumplings did not hit the same notes as the wontons unfortunately. There was a strange combination of flavors in the filling that made it very displeasing to consume. (Double Cooked Pork Belly - 65% | D) - The double cooked pork belly made little sense to me as the pork belly was very thin; cooking it twice simply reaffirmed that its overcooked and gave it poor texture despite it having good flavor development. (Shanghai Noodles - 90% | A) - The Shanghai noodles were good, as it hit all the flavor and nutritional components. The point of improvement here is the presentation, but it is very well priced. (Crab Roe XLB: 97.5% | A) - A soup dumpling with crab and topped with roe! The dumplings are delicately wrapped with an abundance of soup; the meat is very tender and pairs well with the dish; overall very good execution of the dish!

Braised beef soup
Rebekah W.

The person at the register was super attractive! The ambiance is neat and aesthetically pleasing. The food wasn't very good. I ordered chicken soup dumplings and the braised beef soup. I've had both of these dishes before at other places, so I did come in with some expectations. The soup dumplings didn't have much flavor, I added some hot sauce and it helped a little for flavor but no real spice. The braised beef soup was the most disappointing of the two. The beef was chewy and the cuts didn't look well cared for. I definitely wasn't expecting the best cuts of meat but many of the braised beef dishes that I've had (around the same price $17) included tender chunks of beef. This beef wasn't tender. The soup was salty as well, I couldn't finish it. The place was empty, but it was a warmer day so maybe people weren't looking for soup dumplings. Idk. I spent $31 on soup, dumplings and a drink.

Was craving some shanghainese last night so my partner and I decided to try a new spot in the neighborhood, and it did not disappoint! We wanted to try a little bit of everything (all looked good as we watched them make the orders), but stuck with soup dumplings, wontons in chili oil, fried dumplings, scallion pancakes and Shanghai noodles (and as much as we tried, couldn't finish it all!). I thought they were all winners (fav wontons), but I'd prob try a different noodle / rice next time. We walked in for pickup and they were super quick and friendly. Good to know there is another great option in the neighborhood for my dim sum cravings!

Great option for lunch, I recommend ordering ahead if you can. The food is made and can be 10mins wait but we'll worth it. The kitchen is open, so you can watch the chef work. Staff is friendly. Pan fried dumpling- overall delicious, Pork soup dumpling- served hot! The broth is light and refreshing

They're definitely one of the best I've had. Even their scallion pancakes are good. Thin and crispy with enough substance to hold its shape after a soy sauce dunk. We also ordered the salt and pepper squid, the Szechuan style bean curd (basically mapo tofu), and the watercress with enoki mushrooms. Everything was very delicious. Service however, was just adequate. But it's what you would expect from a delicious Chinese restaurant. The waitstaff will get you what you want when you ask it, but clearly doesn't want to be there. Also the place is cash only. But there's a reason they're always busy on the weekends, this place is good.

But it turned out to be a fantastic meal and fully satisfied my endless craving for well-made soup dumplings. The scallion pancakes were excellent, too, crispy without being greasy and packed with scallions. I had seen a lot of reviews praising the General Tso's chicken, but I've honestly avoided the Chinese-American dish for years. Too often it's overly sweet with a heavy batter. Still, after seeing plate after plate come out to nearby tables, I decided to give it a try. What a surprise. It was a huge portion of fresh white meat chicken with a light coating and a perfectly balanced sauce, served piping hot. We couldn't finish it (knowing we had a big dinner later), but I kept going back for "just one more piece" more times than I'd like to admit. Reservations aren't accepted for parties of two, but in the late afternoon it wasn't busy at all, we walked right in with no wait. Would absolutely come back.

The hostess and our various waiters (they all seem to assist all diners) were all very friendly and welcoming. We love to try new things so we had to check out the Little Alley Pig Ear appetizer, and I also wanted to try the Shanghai Crispy Eel. For entrees the husband ordered the Eight Delicacies in Chili Sauce and I got the Soft Shell Crab with Rice Cake. Pro tip- their appetizers and entrees are hefty, with two apps and two entrees we were stuffed at the end. The food! The pigs ears were our favorite thing we tried- they well seasoned and so unique I've never had anything quite like it. We didn't read the menu carefully and were surprised it was a cold dish- I imagined the crispy was from being fried but it's just the texture of the cartilage! It's probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed the new experience and the flavor and spice were great. The crispy eels were also tasty, though with such a large portion split between just two people I found the sweetness of the sauce a bit much. I started dipping them in the chili oil from the ears and enjoyed that, but I'd still only get the eel again with more than 2 people to split it. For entrees the 8 delicacies was tasty, all the meat was nicely cooked and tender, and the sauce was pleasant. I wasn't super wowed by this dish compared to some of the more interesting things we tried but it was a solid well-cooked entree. The fried soft shell crab over the rice cakes was delicious and again a very unique experience. I found the sauce a tad sweet but I think I was still a little over the eel dish so I may have been extra sensitive. That being said, it was fun and delicious and I'd eat it again! I can't remember the cocktails we bought, I know they were good but the food definitely distracted us! Little Alley was great overall and I'd love to go back to try some dumplings; sadly we were just too full at the end of the meal!

Anyways, regardless of all that, just talking food and drink, there was a decent wait even when everyone in our party was there. They will not seat you until everyone has arrived by the way. The drinks were limited from a variety standpoint so we just share lots of sake. Foot was pretty good but nothing to write home about. Personally do not think I would seek this place out, but if I happen to be in the area and I am hungry, I would. Also, shout out to Nelson our server who was super sweet.

The food was incredible and made super fresh to order. My favorite was the pan fried buns - they fry the top of the bun instead of the bottom with an amazing crisp. Hot soup is prone to gushing out of the bun, so consume with caution so you avoid burning your tongue. 100% recommend getting those pan fried buns. The soup dumplings were also good, but not as memorable as the pan fried buns (shengjianbao). They do the noodles pretty well as well - the only disappointment was the tofu crab sauce dish that I ordered. The tofu/sauce felt bland and lacked flavor. Despite that, the pan fried buns just rocked it outta the park for me so much I still say it's 5 stars in my book. The interior was also very comfy for dine in - they started using ipads for customers to order from - and the pictures helped a lot in the ordering process.

The vinegar also helps with flavor. Pepper beef stir fry: 1.5/5 this has no beef flavor at all. It's so bland. It tastes only of soy sauce and oyster sauce. Basil chicken: 1.5/5 this is the same as the beef dish. It's hardly any discernible flavor. I don't taste the basil and it only tastes like soy sauce and oyster sauce.
