Really spectacular soup dumplings for a good price went in not feeling that hungry but ended up ordering more just because it was so good

I've been back to this location a few times and I've come to accept, I must dine in. I usually love their stir fried noodles (fresh, handpulled, well-prepared) but not this time. I ordered delivery from there for the first time and it will definitely be the last. The portion was significantly smaller Noodles tasted like they had been either overcooked or were old (broken into smaller pieces) Flavor was off. Like the sauce was missing all together. Im glad to see the service on my last in person visit had improved immensely. read more

Dumpling craving. I had pork and crab soup dumplings and crispy shrimp dumplings. I alternated between six soup and four shrimp dumplings. The decor was simple and dumpling focused. My order was delivered shortly after being placed. Two sauces were presented prior to arrival found to be vinegar based. I enjoy but prefer sweet chili. I asked for sweet chili and was presented with soy sauce. The crystal shrimp dumplings were filled with shrimp and flavor. The pork and crab soup dumplings were juicy and they burst in my mouth. I appreciate dumplings. read more

Not pictured scallion pancake and that was the best thing!! Get to buttery and flakey and greasy. Delicious. The pan fried and soup dumplings are great. zero noted. So tasty. Love the vinegar soy sauce given too. Is totally come back here. Got it to go. Nice to go bag. read more

I ordered a variety of dumplings. They tasted good, but after I ate some and went back for seconds, I noticed that they had a strange, very unpleasant and unappetizing smell. I couldn't eat them after that and had to throw them away. I couldn't get the smell out of my head for several days. Was it their frying oil? read more

*Delivery order, did not dine in restaurant so can't speak to the service or ambiance* Was craving some Chinese food so decided to order 3 times on UberEats. What I tried- Dan Dan Noodles: Unfortunately this dish is what led to the 2 star rating. It's neither authentic or flavorful. I was hoping for a nutty, savory flavor. Completely missing the sesame note. Was just cooked noodles with some pieces of greens and unseasoned ground pork Crab Soup Dumplings: This was good! Generous soup bursting from the dumpling but the crab flavor was super mild, I honestly couldn't taste it. Wish they sent ginger alongside the vinegar Shrimp Wontons with Chili oil: The wontons themselves were plump and it was flavorful! I wish it had more green onion and maybe more spice? The sauce was very one note Overall, the dumplings/wontons saved this meal but the noodles were just a complete miss. Will probably not order again. There are a ton of Asian/dim sum spots so on to the next one! read more

This review is on take out only. I'm always skeptical about dumplings. But I Love their dumplings. Flavorful and they don't skimp. Will definitely continue to come back. The shrimp and pork shumai are my favorite. Price was decent in my opinion and their soup dumplings were delicious. read more

This is a very casual, easy place to grab a meal. The food is extremely okay.

came on a Saturday for a very late lunch to catch up with a friend and it did not disappoint!! restaurant was pretty empty when i walked in and therefore was seated and assisted immediately. my friend arrived shortly after so we got started quickly we ordered a few things to share family style and it came out fast. this place does dim sum solid but its nothing special except the scallion pancakes w beef were super unique and fun, tasted like a beef spring roll. the beef noodle soup is to die for if you like spicy. the broth is super savory with a hint of Szechuan pepper to add to being an elite flavor. def would recommend. read more

This was honestly the most disgusting Chinese takeout I have ever had. I felt sick to my stomach all night and still feel gross this morning. The La-zi chicken was described as diced chicken pan-fried, but what I received was basically breaded shredded chicken, and it was not fit for human consumption. I wouldn't give it to any living being, frankly. I see reviews raving about their dumplings, but damn, I do not get it. Never again. read more

Wonderful dumplings and soup dumplings. My friends loved their food too. It's quiet at lunchtime, which is great for conversation.

Service was quick. I felt shuffled in and out, and it wasn't very busy. I ordered pork soup dumplings and they were great, 10/10! But they didn't have soup spoons, so my soup kept spilling onto my plate. It was messier than expected and not as satisfying because it felt more like a puzzle of trying to get the soup in my mouth. If you're desperate for soup dumplings, then go here and grt your fix. But if you can wait to go to chinatown, or a place with soup spoons, just go there. read more

3 Times - Pork soup dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

I dunno about cuffing season, I only know noodle soup season... (granted, I love a good noodle soup 365 days of the year, but it hits the spot 10x more in the chillier seasons...) My husband and I were in the area- chilly evening, stuffy noses... we wanted noodles! Found 3 Times in the area- early dinner time, so the restaurant wasn't crowded so we were seated immediately. We ordered the crunchy noodles with pork, spicy beef noodle soup and pork soup dumplings. The crunchy noodles came out first- deep fried noodles topped with a thick gravy of pork, veggies and mushroom! The savory gravy had a tang to it, and made me think of hot and sour soup- it was good, but wish it came with more noodles. The spicy beef noodle soup came next- this was my favorite! Noodles had a good bounce (wish they were a tiny bit chewier) but the soup- this was what made it awesome. While spicy, it wasn't overpowering and was so aromatic and flavorful. We wolfed down to the last drop. The pork soup dumplings were the last to arrive to the table (steaming takes some time!) These were just okay- the soup was a bit too thin imho, and there was too much dough, so the meat to dough ratio was a bit off. Service was good, I think it's key to come in when they're not too busy. read more

The place is very calming. You step in and greeted with a great playlist and nice host. We were sat fairly quickly and was able to place our order right away. We ordered steam pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings and shrimp dish. When they first came they accidentally got us two orders of soup dumplings instead of pan fried dumplings and they felt so bad the messed up they gave it to our table and went quickly to the kitchen to ordered it. Within in minutes a fresh order came out. They were so kind to be so quick about it. Over all the food tasted incredible and atmosphere was great on a rainy day. read more

Quick and delicious. Had dumplings, noodles and a chicken dish. All very good. Great for a quick bite.

I was craving some good scallion oil noodles, so I popped in here for a quick lunch after my dentist appointment, and it did not disappoint! I was seated right away and taken care of right away, which was nice. The scallion oil noodles weren't on the menu, but upon asking the waiter, he said he could make them. The waitstaff was very attentive and quick with their service. It came out fast and was the perfect temperature. I also got the vegetable spring rolls, which is always a classic. The restaurant is clean and has a nice amount of space in between each table, so it doesn't feel too crowded. The price was also not too bad for the two things (a little over $15 for both, including tip). If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend! read more

Dropped in for early dinner after doing some shopping at the Strand Bookstore down the street (wish we had a used bookstore like that in L.A.!) Found some interesting volumes to add to my rare music and opera books collection, so I was in a good mood. Ordered (1) crab soup dumpling - 4 stars, lots of hot delicious broth inside each packet of heaven, but the wrapper is slightly thicker than Deluxe Green Bo version in Chinatown; (2) spicy wontons with shrimp and pork - 5 stars, fautlessly prepared, not drowning in red chili oil, you can taste the very fresh ingredients; (3) dan dan noodle - 5 star perfection, again, not drowning in chili oil, bits of ground pork and spinach enhance the flavor profile, the noodle is on the softer side (all the better for soaking up that yummy sauce) but still retains some chew; my compliments to the chef for achieving the ideal balance of flavor and texture in a perfectly executed dan dan noodle. I don't think I've had better in L.A. Price is quite inexpensive compared to L.A.'s San Gabriel Valley. $40 total including tip. Great waitstaff, they even obliged my unusual request of charging my dying phone. (that's why I didn't/couldn't take food pics.) read more

Really yummy dim sum!! We came for dinner and had no wait, and the staff was so friendly. Our food came out fairly quickly and everything was so delicious. Rankings from most to least favorite (however everything was good and I would order all of it again) -Pan fried pork buns: these were nice and crispy on the bottom with a soft bite into the dough on top. Filled with a flavorful meaty broth and there was a decent portion of meat inside -Shrimp wontons in chili oil: another delicious dish, the shrimp was flavorful and the skin was cooked perfectly -Pork soup dumplings: these were good, but they weren't the best soup dumplings I've had in the city (however I've tried a lot!). The skin could've been a little thinner and some of them ripped when we picked them up, but the flavor was all there -Pork rice dumpling: this is the same as sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves. Again, the flavor was there so it was yummy but I would've liked more meat inside. Overall, I had a great experience here! read more

Was in the mood for a hot bowl of noodle soup and 3 Times looked like the best place to go to in the NOHO area. House Special Spicy Braised Beef Noodle soup - hit the spot. The Sichuan peppercorn flavor was a bit too overpowering that I wasn't able to fully enjoy the soup flavors, but the braised beef was so tender and perfectly cooked and the noodles had such a good bounce to them that it allowed me to fully enjoy my hot bowl of noodles. If you enjoy the numbing spice, I do recommend! (4.5/5) Sesame Chicken - you can taste how freshly made it was. Crunchy on the outside and the chicken was still juicy! (4.5/5) Pork Soup Dumplings - came out hot. Great skin to meat ratio. The soup flavors weren't as good as the ones I've had before but nonetheless still good. (3/5) Overall a great find and an affordable place to dine in compared to other places in the NOHO area. read more

I'm not sure what happened here but it's been a while since I've came to this location - the Clinton street location is closed temporarily I think. It's just a random Monday night and there weren't a lot of other tables maybe like 3 other parties when we got there at about 8:15. Upon sitting down the utensils and dishes at the table weren't super clean, just like marks on the glasses and the spoons and plates. My first gripe was the food - we got two pork soup dumplings and a chicken fried rice to share. The rice came so weirdly fast but it was so unsatisfying - it had celery and red onions which is random, and it was SUPER salty. Then the soup dumplings came after a while and they honestly looked and tasted like the Trader Joe's microwaveable ones. They were definitely not home made. The soup was like water. Then to make things worse, their closing time was 9:30 and it was like barely 8:45 and the waitress started spraying the table next to us with cleaning solution like WHAT. As we're eating?? It's barely palatable as is and now all I taste and smell is fake lemon scent. That's like a huge no-no. I don't what know else to think but what a huge miss. read more

Me and my coworkers have ordered from here several times. Overall, the services is ok and does not take that long to deliver. However, my problem is the last time we ordered my vegggie spring roll had a hard (like a stone) foreign object inside. I'm just glad I didn't break a tooth on it. See picture. I'm highly disappointed and irritated because the food taste is good! Soooooo now I'm very nervous (I probably will not) order from here again. I will not be able to enjoy the food. All I will be thinking about is someone is careless in the kitchen and what's inside??? read more

I always stop in here when by Union Square. I've only done the dim sum menu and the pork soup dumplings are superb. I usually get the potato scallions pancakes and those are enough for a light snack or lunch. The service is friendly, place is clean, and food affordable! read more

I used to come here when they first opened up and used to love it (precovid). Prior to covid, the Dishes were all super authentic and had excellent xiao long bao and sheng jian bao, Chocolate Xiao Long Bao and all sorts of typical shanghai dishes. I decided to go yesterday after a while They re-did the menu, most of the typical shanghai dishes are gone. Now they have your typical stupid general tso's chicken and all of your typical americanized chinese foods that you can find everywhere. The quality of the food also went downhill, the xiaolongbao skin is now too thick and the shrimp wonton barely has any shrimp in it. The Shengjianbao had no juice inside of it whatsoever, it is supposed to have alot of broth inside. Not going back. read more

Farabe and I came here for a quick lunch while we were in the area. Upon entry, the restaurant was empty except for the employees. The restaurant was clean and had a nice modern aesthetic to it. Towards the kitchen, you can see the staff cooking and making the hand pulled noodles. I ordered the seafood fried rice ($15) and was told it would be shrimp with crab meat. I was assuming actual crab meat but, was given a few flakes of intimation crab meat instead. The rice itself was bland and had no flavor. I requested some additional soy sauce and hot oil and that really spiced up the flavor profile. Farabe ordered the Shanghai fried noodles with chicken ($13). The noodles were delicious with the perfect amount of chew and saltiness. I would definitely come back again to eat this. The service was okay. They were efficient but, not really friendly. They only stopped by to take orders, drop off food and check. No one really checked in on us to see if we needed anything or how we were enjoying our food. read more

*** 3.5 stars *** Review for take-out from doordash. I'm on a (seemingly futile) quest to find great Shanghai Fried Pork Buns in NYC, so I placed an order from 3 times and added the Chicken Mushroom Soup to round out the meal. Unfortunately the buns were just okay and did not satisfy my craving - the skin was not quite thick enough, the bottoms not quite fried enough, and there was barely any juice inside. They tasted closer to regular dumplings than Fried Pork Buns. The search continues. The soup, with not quite as high a bar to cross, was good and satisfying. If I order from here again I'll pass on the Fried Pork Buns and try some other stuff instead. read more

Just happened to be in soho and this placed popped up on yelp. I wasn't very impressed with their customer service to be honest. Everything they say to you is blunt and almost rude. Being Asian, I know that this demeanor can be normal but it seemed like a family running this place which Id think would make this place welcoming. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, house special spicy braised beef noodles, and braised pork belly with buns. The pork soup dumplings were nothing amazing but I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the soup inside. 6/10 My friends and I all agreed that the house special spicy braised beef noodles was not great. The noodles were over cooked, it wasn't even spicy, and the meat was tough. 2/10 If you get anything from this place, it's the braised pork belly with buns. A spin off of peking duck, this was something I'd come back for. The caramelized sauce that the pork sits in is amazing and pairs well with the buns. 9.5/10 You also get a free milk tea when you check in but they gave me a lychee green tea instead. My friend got the passion fruit green tea and both were very sweet. I used to work at a boba place and know that they used 2 ounces of syrup when they should really stick to just 1. My friend diluted hers with water but it was still super sweet. The free drink was a nice touch though. read more

I was at this place a month ago. They follow Covid protocols properly as expected for most places in the area. The service was fine; polite in prompt; and they refilled the water when necessary. I decided to go with two dishes which I have had in several over Shanghainese places, stir fried rice cakes and pan fried dumplings. 雪菜肉絲炒年糕/Stir fried rice cake with mustard greens and pork. $12.95 Listed as fried rice cakes with mustard and shredded pork, this was a tasty version with a couple minor faults. The pork was properly cooked and there was a good amount of said meat along with the good amount of mustard greens. The portion size in short was adequate for the price. I personally like this dish a lot for the texture and my only complaint is that in many other places I've had this, the rice cakes were a bit crispier. In other words, I found the texture to be a bit too soft for my liking but this might just be a preference and overall it was still very tasty. The dish is also available with chicken, beef, or seafood. 生煎饅頭/Shengjian bao or pan fried dumplings filled with pork. Listed as Shanghai fried pork buns, this came with 4 to an order which was fine for the price (for the area.) The dumplings were nice and light though I prefer the bottom to be a bit crispier (I see a trend here with my complaints.) The pork filling was very tasty, moist, and generous and I have no complaints. I also got some of the chili oil to have with it which is fine though nothing notable. Outside of the lack of crispiness for the dishes which is more of a personal complaint, I don't have many issues. This is a good Shanghainese spot and it is nice to see a good one pretty close to Union Square. The service was prompt and friendly. Of course it's more expensive than going to Queens or Brooklyn but it's expected with the rent and the size of this place. Will go back to try some more things. 4.3. read more

I've ordered from 3 Times in Brooklyn before and the food has always been great! However, my most recent order from this location was terrible!!! Absolutely STEALING FROM ME !! First, I selected soup dumplings that were buy one, get one free, and the order only deliver one portion. Second, I ordered the larger soup and around 1/3 was missing from the container. The price is very expensive compared to other Chinese restaurants so I expect decent size portions and good quality. Horrible experience and I will never order from here again. read more

Definitely a good Dim Sum option if you're in the area. The flavors and textures of the pork buns and dumplings are pretty good. These aren't my favorite in the city, but it curbs the craving when needed. The service is always really fast and kind. The place itself is clean and never loud.

An easy place to get a tasty lunch at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the pan fried pork buns, salt and pepper shrimp, and the fried rice. We had enough left over for another meal. The service was kind and the food was hot and made to order. The place was fairly empty on a Saturday afternoon, which we didn't mind. Worth checking out. read more

Had both take out and dining in experience, I like the restaurant is clean and pretty spacious for dim sum place. Service was also fast and good. Tried veggie dumpling, shrimp dumpling, veggie bun, sticky rice shumai, and peashooter and shrimp dumpling. They were pretty standard, not outstanding but not disappointing either. read more
