Best time to go is before 1130 or after 1230 as it gets very busy. I often get the turkey wrap which is good. Their soups are also good, they have a few to choose from. It's a small area not a lot of sitting room and is pretty busy during peak hours so can get crowded and loud. It is a good place to grab take out. I visit often and will continue to.

Ordered this for a quick Dim Sum fix to our Hotel near Downtown Syracuse and it hit the spot…read more The Shrimp fried rice was a plentiful portion and well seasoned throughout. I really enjoyed the pork rolls and the absolute standout was the KFC dumplings, which we ordered as a bit of a joke, but the chicken katsu was light and fried perfectly with a well balanced spicy mayo sauce paired with it. The Shumai was not my favorite with the dumpling consistency being a bit chewy for my liking, and the Crab Rogoon (they spell it that way) was just okay, but overall, I would absolutely order from Mr Noodle and Ms Dumpling again!

Wow the reviews for this place are kinda low? I think this restaurant is actually really delicious…read moreand flavorful for more traditional Chinese cuisine. I came here with my family and we ordered a bunch of things to try such as the dry sautéed green beans, salt and pepper squid, walnut mayo shrimp, pepper steak, and dry fried fish fillet. The things to definitely try are the green beans and the pepper steak. The steak was so tender and flavorful and the green beans were also tasty as well. The other items were ordered were tasty but the portion size was rather lacking and could've been more substantial for the cost. Overall I would definitely come here again

It's always a great place for a more affordable option, so sometimes I meet with friends here as well. The one thing I have been so sad to see go is they used to have the absolute best Pandan Bubble Tea. I couldn't find this flavor anywhere else--and now not even here. :( For now for my bubble tea fix I go for a taro. The consistency is always creamy, light, sweet and the tapioca has a good flavor. It is important to note this tea has a lot of sugar, and is more of a dessert than something to have often. The service here is always kind, interior is clean. Easy parking.

It was all delicious and they do a great job with sandwiches and extras items.

Phenomenal food!…read more We're in Syracuse for a conference, and didn't want to spend a fortune for mediocre food at the conference hotel, so we set out to find a good local spot via Yelp. Su Su Dim Sum came up at the top of the list, so off we went. I ordered a small (pint) of hot and sour soup and lamb with scallions. My wife ordered tangerine beef, and then we ordered red bean paste steamed buns to go for breakfast tomorrow. The soup was thick, full of chunks of tofu, plenty of vegetables, a little less peppery and a little less pungent than we like, but still better than typical Chinese restaurant fare. A bowlful of fried noodles came on the side. A great start! My wife, a veterinarian, suspected that the lamb was actually beef, but that question aside, the lamb dish was delicious, with plenty of meat, chunks of bell pepper, and abundant scallions, in a delicious sauce. The star of the night was the tangerine beef, lightly breaded and perfectly fried, in a savory and slightly sour sauce. A few broccoli florets, a handful of tangerine segments, and a wonderful thick sauce completed the dish perfectly. We packed up the leftovers, collected the steamed buns, and headed back to the hotel. We grabbed some menus to give to fellow conference attendees when they ask where we went out to dinner.

Not usually in the area but when I am, I make it a point to stop here. Just really great food…read moreoverall. The hot and sour soup hits all the hot and sour tasting notes. I only wish it had different mushrooms. I loved the pork bao buns. They came with a tasty dipping sauce.

Listen here listen here , I can't believe I've been here so many times and never left a review!…read moreMitsuba is hands down my favorite poke spot in the Syracuse area. I always get the salad base and my mom usually goes with the noodles -- and let me tell you, they never miss. This time, I think our bowls got mixed up a little, and mine ended up with some ah tuna. I've always been hesitant to try it since I usually stick to cooked seafood, but it was actually so good! Flavorful, fresh, and the texture was way better than I expected -- honestly, similar to shrimp. If you like shrimp, you'd probably enjoy this too. For toppings, I went with shrimp, mango, crab meat, corn, chili flakes, and a few other things (I even snapped a pic of my order card because I can never remember everything!). The poke bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and customizable, and I love that you can watch them chop everything right in front of you. This visit I also tried the crab rangoons -- they were a little too crunchy for me, and my little one even said the same (and she usually loves rangoons). My mom tried the chicken wings, which were good, but I'll personally be sticking to the poke bowls because they are the star here. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is super friendly, and the quality is consistently top-notch. If you're looking for poke in Syracuse, this is the place. Five stars for the poke bowls, no question! They do sell all type of bubble drinks as well.

It's bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Secondly, staff are very friendly and helpful! And thirdly, their food is amazing! I'm not vegan but their food is genuinely delicious. We ordered the loaded nachos, chicken parm sandwich, and the sweet sassy molassey sandwich, chocolate mint milkshake and a green tea. The half order of loaded nachos was generous in size and toppings! It was filling without being heavy. All of the ingredients were fresh. Probably one of my top loaded nachos ever. The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints! I'm determined to squeeze in more visits here before they close!

After we got to our table, our waitress made some recommendations based on what flavors we like and got us excited for the meal. The smoked salmon dip was yummy and we both really enjoyed our entrees. My partner slurped up every drop of the tomato sauce in his dish! My Po Boy made into a bowl was a lovely gluten free option with a delicious spice and citrus taste. I'm sure the sandwich version is great too.
