There is a QR code that you can scan which will give you the digital menu which you can order off of right away without having to wait for the waiter. If you're not sure on what to order the menu tells you what is their popular dishes to help give you an idea of what's good. We order the marinated cucumber salad, Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons, pan fried pork dumplings, pork xiao long bao, and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. My favorites were the Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. Both are considered spicy dishes but I have a weak spicy tolerance and I did not think that they were spicy at all! The pan fried dumpling skirt was crispy and instantly melts in your mouth. The xiao long baos have a small amount of soup within and the cucumber salad was so refreshing. The food comes out quick! The staff work quick to ensure you get all of your food fast. This place is one of my favorite spots to grab some dumplings. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to Thumbling for about 4 years, and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants…read more Unfortunately, it's gone downhill. The sesame peanut noodles have been disappointing the last three times I've ordered them. They barely add any sauce anymore, so the noodles taste bland. Instead, they throw in a ton of minced garlic and especially minced ginger, which completely overpowers the dish. It doesn't taste anything like it used to. The service has also gotten worse. I asked an employee in Spanish if I could have a straw. She acted like she didn't understand me, so I asked again in English, and she still said she didn't understand. I just said never mind. But a few minutes later, my aunt asked the same employee in Spanish for more water, and suddenly she understood perfectly. That honestly left me confused. The employees also come off as rude and unfriendly. Then, when it's time to pay, they practically shove the tablet in your face while standing there watching you. We were a party of four, yet there was a $16 gratuity added, and on top of that they asked us how much extra tip we wanted to leave. It feels like you're being pressured into tipping twice instead of it being your choice. It's honestly sad because this place used to be so good. I've noticed fewer people eating there lately, and if the food quality and customer service keep getting worse, I can see why. I hope management takes this seriously and brings Thumbling back to what it used to be.

Amazing hand-pulled noodles! I ordered four different bowls to try, and every one was fresh and…read moredelicious. My favorites were the Signature Lan Noodle, the spicy beef noodle, and the wide flat noodle soup. The Signature Lan Noodle had a rich, flavorful broth with tender beef and perfectly chewy noodles. The spicy beef noodle had just the right amount of heat and was packed with flavor without being overwhelming. The wide flat noodles were incredibly fresh, soft, and chewy--they soaked up the broth beautifully and had an amazing texture. You can really tell the noodles are made fresh to order. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted high quality, and the service was friendly and fast. If you're craving authentic Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, this is definitely the place to visit. I'll absolutely be back！

Looks like they just break chicken legs and poor them in the soup. Contained small fragments of bone, and some of them are easy to miss. You could potentially crack a tooth, or worse, accidentally choke on one. I've never had a dish where I felt like I had to be this cautious while eating. That said, aside from the bone issue, the meal itself was enjoyable. Next time, though, I'll probably play it safe and order something different.

My waiter was amazing and really went above and beyond, helping with the high chair (and sanitizing it for me), kids plates and drink cup, and swooping in within 30 seconds of a massive spill my baby made. SO impressed. The food was just as impressive! Order via a tablet at your table, and it sends the order to your waiter who confirms it. Their Chicken karaage appetizer was crisp outside and juicy in the center with great flavor. Their Wagyu Curry was great as well, with tender wagyu pieces and a nice curry base. Their chicken katsu curry was also perfectly cooked and tender as well. Will need to come back for dinner as no sushi at lunch.

Yesterday was my first time dining at this restaurant, and it will probably be my last…read more There were three people in our party, and there was virtually no table service throughout the meal. We had to get our own water, and the only service provided was that the staff brought the food to our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the checkout process. I handed my credit card to the server, and when he returned, he simply gave me the receipt without asking for my signature or explaining any additional charges. It was only after reviewing the receipt that I discovered a 15% gratuity had already been added automatically. For a dining experience that involved little more than food delivery to the table, I do not believe an automatic 15% gratuity is justified. More importantly, it was not clearly disclosed beforehand. Charging a mandatory 15% gratuity for a party of only three people feels more like a hidden fee than a fair charge based on the actual level of service provided.

Tea wasn't overly sweetened, and quite pleasant and refreshing. The tea didn't have the bitter yuzu aftertaste that some people don't like. The server turned out to be one of the managers and he was great! Helped us decided and didn't try to upsell us towards anything crazy. I don't forget the rice at the end. Reminds me of a creole pan roast. Location was clean and simple. Can't wait to go back.

This restaurant has been sitting in my bookmarks for awhile, so had to finally give them a try…read more They serve both regular soup ramen and mazesoba. However, I would highly recommend their mazesoba as it is one of few spots that serves such a niche dish. Mazesoba is a dry ramen dish that incorporates garnishes along with meats and sauces topped with a runny soft boiled egg. The waitress was absolutely amazing with her friendliness and patience with my friends and I. The waitress recommended their Chanpion and Saikoro Mazesobas. I opted for the Champion and it sure was absolutely mindblowing with its texture and flavor. This spot will definitely be somewhere I will be returning to. Recommend! Note: There is a odd smell within the restaurant, but beyond that, this spot is solid.
