    Tried basically all the dumplings and was a fan of them cool. Cool to try different flavors. I wish they had even more options. I believe the locations in China have even more options. The hot pot type is also very tasty and a decent price.

    They have very simple menu, just dumplings and hot pots. We ordered one for each and their dumplings are excellent, as I have never ate any zucchini dumplings before. You order from your phone and foods are ready fast.

    Kind of amazing to be able to have authentic Chinese dumplings this late on a weeknight in New York. The dumplings are handmade, taste clean and light, and don't have that heavy MSG feel. If you're Chinese, you'll probably like it, but if not, you might find them a bit bland.

    Popular place with fresh dumplings! We got the signature shrimp ones either one order fried and one steamed. They were very good and service was quick. The seaweed salad was fine. Not blown away so not 5 stars but it was nice and easy on a chilly day.

    A bit surprised that they only have 4 types of dumplings on menu considering this is a dumpling specialist shop. I got the signature one with shrimp, roe and pork, it is okay - shrimp is decent but overall a bit dry, vinegar and chili oil are also not particularly flavorful.

    Lowkey spot for Chinese food that is very affordable and authentic. It's a popular Chinese chain (+800 locations) and first opened their locations in NYC. Their dumplings are northern influenced, and have a really chewy texture. We got the pork + corn dumplings and soy-marinated chicken leg. Dumplings were dough-y and juicy, super delicious. Chicken leg was extremely tender -- the meat practically fell of the bone and super juicy. The service is fast and there's basically no wait -- not a lot of people were there when we were during peak lunch hours. Great vibes inside too!

    Came across Dumpling Xi, and decided to give it a go. To start, meals are super affordable here! Everything is ~$10-18 - nice for a quick and cheap meal! The only thing I'd say is that I think it is supposed to be partially self serve? I was kind of confused by how it's supposed to work - came in and a server told us to order via the QR code on the table, but then another server came and wanted to take our order. There were notes in the restaurant that some items were self serve and available at the front (I believe they were some additional sauces on top of the ones available at each table), so was a bit confused by the concept. To start, we got one of the mini hot pots to share - the Chicken Leg Combo Pot (comes with tofu skin, broccoli, and marinated egg). The chicken leg was SUPERR tender - literally comes right off the leg. At first, we asked for the knife, but after the server told us we didn't need one because of how tender it was, we ended up using our utensils. The chicken literally came off as I was taking it off the leg with my fork. I love how it also came with veggies (broccoli), and a full egg! The sauce was also savory and delicious - we ordered some rice which paired perfectly with the sauce leftover. The chicken leg was so good we ordered another chicken leg on the side (only ~$5!!) which was super tender as well. The dumplings were super affordable as well ($13/12 pieces of fried dumpling). They were interesting as I've never had corn in my dumplings, but were great as well! Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for a nice, quick, and affordable meal.

    Great spot for fresh dumplings! Food (5/5): Dumplings were excellent and freshly made on the spot. Value (5/5): Very affordable given the quality. Service (4/5): Waited about 20 minutes on a busy Saturday, but staff were apologetic and attentive.

    A couple of us wanted to try some soup dumplings. We stumbled upon Dumpling Xi. We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't very crowded. There were a few groups dining in. We sat ourselves. The ordering was different--we had to scan a QR code to place orders. We decided to order three different items and share. I ordered the shrimp with chives and egg dumplings, while one ordered the celery and pork dumplings and someone else ordered the beef and vegetable soup pot with pinto bean broth. Then we ordered rice and beef mixed with mushrooms. The soup pot was the winner. It was so flavorful and I mixed some chili oil with the broth. The celery and pork dumplings were also a big hit with our table. The beef with mushrooms tasted good to me but my friend whose Chinese was not impressed. The service was good, very attentive. I would like to try some of the other soup pot dishes.

    Edamame
    Jenn T.

    Tried this place on a whim. Overall, I'd recommend it! We ordered the edamame, beef and onion steamed dumplings ($14.99/20 pieces on one plate) and beef and onion fried snowflake dumplings ($8.99/6 pieces on one plate). The edamame was surprisingly delicious- just the right amount of salt as well as crunch to the bite. The steamed dumplings were what I'd expect: firm skin with some juice on the inside. Lastly, the fried snowflake dumplings (named for their snowflake appearance if I had to guess?) were not too heavy despite their fried nature. Because our order surpassed $25, we received a one-time promotional offer of free fruit tea. I opted for Lychee Rose and cannot rave enough about its flowery yet sweet taste. If you're in the area, I'd recommend dropping by!

    Bestie and I came here for the first time tonight because we were curious about this Mainland china chain transplant. We were pleasantly surpised by the richly flavored filling. We got the dumpling xi, dumpling sanxian and cold lotus shaped noodles. Other reviews talk about how awesome the fish roe is and don't get me wrong, it is truly awesome, but let me take a minute to talk about the dumpling dough. This dough is made fresh daily and from three different types of dough. Dumplings are cooked al dente and the chew is just perfect - a little bit of that mochi bounce without being too squishy or soggy. Simon was our server and a major sweetie who hooked us up with these cutie fridge magnets!

    Dumplings have smooth skin. My favorite filling was dumpling xi!!! It has multiple flavors in it. Store was clean and service was attentive and fast. They make things fresh

    Shrimp, fish roe, and pork dumplings were so juicy and delicious! Lovely textures. Great service. Clean bathrooms.

    There's a reason why people have willpower for the hours-long wait here on weekends. There are many…read morerestaurants with lines that I can't say are worth waiting on, but this restaurant is worth every minute and every ounce of energy left for the wait. I've taken a lot of friends here over the course of 10 years, and without fail, every one of them has walked out mindblown--and why wouldn't they?! The wait times have gotten better over the years (probably because people are waiting for the restaurant next door), but the food and drinks here are still top-notch. Staff is always great, and they all work so efficiently. I am generally a fan of izakayas, but there are very few that offer plates that are designed to be shareable, and this is one of the reasons the food here is so enjoyable in a small group setting. I am obviously biased and think they can do no wrong, but some of my staples that have stood the test of time: Kimchi cream udon, avocado tofu salad, salmon sashimi tacos, and the kani cream croquettes. I was so excited when they opened an outpost in Flushing years ago, but sadly it shuttered during COVID. It is definitely small and there is always going to be a wait, so don't be those people who come in with a huge group during prime time because they like to move (getting customers in and out) very fast.

It can be a little tricky to find as it has a small door on the street level and is located down a flight of stairs on 35th. They have a variety of drinks such as frozen kirin beer and Japanese inspired cocktails. For food, they have a large variety of Japanese classics from sushi, skewers, fried dishes, and noodles/rice. My favorites here are the Omu Soba which has some tasty noodles inside and the salmon don which has some sashimi and sauce over rice!

We walked into a stylish, energetic space with a menu designed around sharing, making it a good option for a casual dinner or group meal. The interior has a contemporary, lively feel with an open kitchen that adds energy to the room, and the seating is arranged to accommodate both small groups and larger parties comfortably. Instead of sticking strictly to traditional Japanese dishes, the menu mixes familiar flavors with more modern presentations, creating a dining experience that feels both approachable and exploratory. The standout item is the katsu, which is where the restaurant really shines. We ordered the pork loin and tenderloin versions and found the breading crisp while the meat stayed tender and juicy, the crust holding up well without becoming greasy. The mazemen is another highlight, with chewy noodles and a rich sauce that brought a lot of flavor without feeling too heavy, the sauce coating each strand evenly and the toppings adding layers of texture and depth. Beyond those, dishes like the butter scallops, corn ribs, and seafood options added variety and made it worth ordering multiple plates to share. The scallops were well seared with a buttery finish, and the corn ribs offered a smoky, slightly charred flavor that paired well with the richer dishes. The desserts are also a memorable part of the meal. The corn ice cream is one of the more unique items, with a sweet and savory flavor that sounds unusual but works surprisingly well, the sweetness of the corn balanced by a subtle savory note that kept it from feeling cloying. It fits the restaurant's overall approach of taking familiar ingredients and presenting them in a more unexpected way, and the creativity of the dessert menu feels consistent with the rest of the meal. Service and atmosphere add to the experience, with attentive staff and a lively dining room that feels suited for groups. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the pacing of the meal comfortable, and the open kitchen added a layer of engagement as we watched the dishes come together. Reservations can be difficult to get, especially during busy times, and the small plate format means the best experience comes from ordering several dishes rather than focusing on one entree. The variety across the menu encourages sharing, and the pacing of the meal works well for a longer, more social dinner. konban delivers a well-executed modern Japanese dining experience. While some of the more hyped dishes may not completely live up to expectations, the katsu, noodles, and seafood dishes make it a worthwhile visit. The combination of creativity, quality ingredients, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for exploring different flavors and dishes together rather than just ordering one signature item, offering a meal that feels both engaging and satisfying.

The interior is minimalistic with a japanese feel through the zen garden. For drinks my friend and I had the sayonara which I enjoyed, but she thought was too strong. We ordered family style, sharing the corn ribs, zucchini, butter scallops, ebi tempura, pork katsu, mazemen, ube tiramisu , and corn ice cream amongst four people. The ube tiramisu was free since we wrote a google review for the restaurant. Everything was delicious and the zucchini was surprisingly good as well. The pork was so tender. the ebi tempura were huge, and the mazemen was thankfully not spicy. However, the scallops could've been more tender and we we were all unimpressed with the ube tiramisu. Overall, I would come back and would definitely recommend konban! Get the corn ribs, zucchini, pork katsu, and corn ice cream! My friend did notice that some menu items changed from her previous visit (instead of the zucchini they had the eggplant in the past)

Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.
