    Dumplings
    Elizabeth X.

    Great spot for a quick bite. They basically only serve dumplings and certainly do them well here. The chicken/bell pepper and pork/cabbage dumplings were great, both pan friend and steamed. I thought more veggies in the filling would've been nice; I couldn't really taste any. Only one table for 4 in terms of seating; which two people had spread out on long after finishing eating, which the staff didn't seem to care. There are standing tables around the area though. The cashier also looked at me strangely when I asked for a cup of water, which I don't think is that an unusual request.

    Pretty good  7 pc, $11 plus tax & tip = &19.  Still pretty good for the convenience tbh  Can't complain, dumplings were good

    $17 after tip (7 pc). Convince and taste was good so can't really complain, it's NYC anyways

    The worst dumplings ever ... I ordered shrimp & chicken dumpling ... the dumplings are full of chives all they give you is a half of a tail of shrimp & they just stuff it with chives ... what a waste of $31.50 never again this place sucks

    Lisa and her beautiful family! Thank you, Lisa, for  sharing your delectable dumplings with the world...

    A Dumpling Marvel! The most exquisite, tasty and addictive dumplings ever!! They SHOULD be called, Lisa's FAMOUS dumplings: A buddy came to NYC to catch a Broadway show, where someone there, recommended a visit to: Lisa's Dumplings at 59th & Columbus Circle underground Market, where the service is ALWAYS impeccable and the ambiance is both creative and splendid; watching fresh dumplings, hand-made... worth the wait! I STRONGLY AGREE & RECOMMEND you take a bag of Frozen ones for the family to experience, as well! If you visit NYC, Columbus Circle is obviously on the list... Lisa's Dumplings are, too!

    These were some of the best fresh pan seared dumplings I've ever had . It's in the turnpike underground market , definitely worth a visit

    I was definitively craving dumplings when I came here, but apparently not enough to ignore some of the primary issues I had with these dumplings. It's located in Turnstyle, which is the underground market in the Columbus Circle station. It's somewhat unclear, so just a note. I've walked through this market before but haven't bought anything before, so it was great to at least be able to see some of what it's all about. I ordered on their tablet, and they have a variety of different options either boiled or fried. My favorite part was definitely that they make the dumplings right there in front of you. Really adds something to the experience and made me feel like I was eating fresh dumplings. I ended up getting some pan fried pork and cabbage dumplings. Seven of them were $12 which is genuinely so crazy to me and I've resolved never to pay that much for dumplings ever again. I thought the filling was decent, and I enjoyed the crunch of the skin. My main problem was that the filling came to me cold. The meat closer to the skin was warmer, but as I bit down and got to the center, the filling got noticeably cooler. I love that dumplings have a little spotlight in such a busy area of Manhattan, but likely wouldn't come back because of the price and the weird temperature.

    Keepin it real out here in the Columbus Circle Subway Station Saw bunch of high school students eating these on my lunch break and I had to try it cause they looked good. Expect 2X Chinatown price cause it is in a "food hall" kinda place, also right below billionaires row. The dumplings were good, solid, and they charge extra for pan fried. Overall hits the spot, pricey but pretty good.

    3.5 - Walking around the Turnstyle at Columbus Circle, I'd passed by Lisa's Dumplings multiple times and finally tried the dumplings for the first time today. I ordered the Pork & Chinese Cabbage Hand Made Dumplings (7 for $9.99+). They asked me if I wanted Steamed or Pan Fried, so I chose Pan Fried, not knowing it was an additional $1. It's not a huge amount and is also indicated on the menu, but I'd never paid additional for pan fried vs steamed and it would have been nice if they'd mentioned it. The handmade dumplings had nice, flavorful filling, but the wrapper was a little too thick and doughy for me. For people who like chewy dumplings, I think this would be a good option.

    Was looking for something quick for breakfast and decided to go for some dumplings! I got the veggie and pork/shrimp & it was good! I wish I got the pan fried dumplings but overall it was good and very quick service. The place is located underground near the train stops and depends on the weather because it was hot when I went but overall ambiance was okay!

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top.

The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
