Had the pork soup dumplings: juicy, tender and soupy. Highly recommended. House Special Noodles: saucy, good with the veggies, shrimp,and chicken. Quite good. Stir fry pork with bamboo shoots, wood ear fungus and garlic: good but a bit too salty. Saucy but good. Pan Fried Pork Buns: The bottom of the bun was soggy when it supposed to be crispy. Flavor was mediocre and would not recommend this dish. Service was friendly and bathrooms are clean. Interior was modern and cute with the drawings of the various foods read more

I love this place, this was my second time here and I'll continue to come back! All the soup dumpling is good! Crab one is a MUST try though, scallion pancake is fried perfectly and the bok choy was yummy. We also got the pan fried pork buns and omg so juicy and flavorful! The service is fast and friendly. The place still chill and the vibe is relaxed. I love this place. 10/10 go try it! read more

Omg must try scallion noodles with hot oil in it you can inhale finishing the plate right away and craving for more once you have it!! When you to go their food make sure to pour not the whole thing of sauce rather mix it well as you adjust the sauce otherwise it will be too salty! Great soup inside of pork soup dumplings! It was so good!!! :) read more

This has been my go to for xiao long bao! The skin is not thick, it doesn't break and enough soup. One of my favorite XLB place! We got the crabmeat and pork, both really good. Their other dishes are good as well. Their scallion pancake was very crispy and not too oily but wish there was a dipping sauce! The house fried rice was good too, lots of ingredients in it.. which is always a plus. There's also free WiFi which is nice! Will definitely come back! read more

I gave this place a second try recently even though I thought they were mediocre my first time. The xiao long baos just weren't as good as the nearby Shanghai lius but since lius xlbs went downhill, I didn't feel like I was losing anything with mr bun. If you've ever tried the frozen xlb brand laoban, I actually think laobans is better than xlb. I do think Mr buns pan fried pork buns are pretty yummy though, I'll give them that. My friend also said that's what she likes from Mr bun so maybe that's why they're called Mr bun... read more

3.5/5 I think the menu is a bit limited for me to warrant another visit, but the soup dumplings and pan fried buns were pretty good! It's very slow though on the weekends since it gets packed quickly, but the food comes out at snail paces Soup Dumplings: actually very soupy! The taste is clean and juicy, definitely some good soup dumpling filling. However, the skin is on the thicker/drier/flour-y side. Won't wow you, but good on a cold day and gets the cravings satisfied Pan Fried Buns: oooh these are actually sooo juicy as well! Normally I hate buns because there's just so much dough/bread and it's so thick, but I didn't mind these thicker buns since it was soooo soft! Flufffy juicy bites of goodness. Crispy bottoms! If only it was a bit more stuffed tho Scallion Noodles: definitely needed more scallion flavor but it was still good. The noodles itself weren't what I was expecting for this dish as I usually have it with the thinner/straight noodles but these were wavy like ramen noodles. I enjoyed it, but it was also the saddest portion for $7.50. Even FJ peanut butter noodles give you more than this Beef and Tripe/Husband and Wife: I didn't enjoy this as much, it needed the cilantro and kick, as it was just oily without much flavor read more

Came here for family dinner on Sunday night 4/23. They are always a great solution for large parties. We came at 7:45pm for a party of 7 adults + 1 baby in high chair. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share (mostly vegetarians because of my Sister-in-law). Pork soup dumplings is a must!!! Each person order their own dish or shared with another couple. The Shepherd's Purse dumpling surprised us as it was in soup and we thought it was vegetarian. There was a slight mix up with my order as they cooked the wrong dish and I had to wait abit longer. I ordered Shredded Pork with Pickled Cabbage Rice Cake and they brought out the House Special fried Rice Cake which had shrimp, pork and chicken. I can't eat shrimp (half of us at the table that can't eat it and the rest can). There is lax service so you have to wave them over constantly for hot tea/cold water refill or request additional napkins. They don't bus the empty dishes until the end. We just stack them in the middle for more space. We ordered: 3 pork soup dumplings Marinated jellyfish 1 hot&sour soup Cucumber salad 4 happiness (4 types of braised vegetables include wheat gluten=Hong Shao Kao Fu, 红烧烤麸 ) Shepherd's Purse dumpling Baby Shrimp with Salted Egg Yolk and Tofu Chicken with Eggplant Bok Choy with Garlic Vegetable stir fried Udon Beef Fried Rice Shredded Pork with Pickled Cabbage Rice Cake read more

This is a solid spot if you're looking for XLB and in the area. Here's a quick breakdown of what to get: - Kao fu tofu: Cold appetizer that has woodear mushrooms, tofu, and bamboo shoots. Solid dish - Green onion pancake: Worth a try, but nothing special - Crab & Shrimp XLB: Juicy dumplings, thin skin, great flavorful soup. Worth getting - Pork XLB: Similar to the above, great for people that like the thin skinned XLB and soup full of flavor - Pan Fried Pork Buns: These were a little bit of a miss. Less juice than expected and the bottom wasn't overly crispy. The waitstaff was nice and this place will definitely do if you're searching out XLB in the area. Service was pretty quick and all the food came out hot. read more

Mr Bun - Pork soup dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here twice in a week while visiting Brooklyn and both times the food was very good... Fresh soup dumplings with a good amount of soup, tasty scallion pancakes, and the fried pork buns make great appetizers. The house special rice cakes and udon noodles are both consistent and yummy. The red bean mochi like dessert is very good. The restaurant has some "One Piece" drawings and descriptions on the wall to help kids entertained along with some figurines on the wall. The overall theme is a little mixed but didn't really affect my dining experience as the food was overall pretty good. Service was very prompt and the food was delivered pretty quickly. Overall a great place for some comfort food without having to go out to Chinatown or Flushing... read more

Food was delicious for the whole family. The soup dumplings were really good that one order just wasn't enough for four people in addition to the other dishes we ordered. We ordered the crispy noodles with gravy and it was delicious. The sauce was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly crispy. The service was great and fast and the ambiance was pretty casual which is nice. read more

This review is based on take out only: The food was pricey and not too flavorful. The sesame chicken was quite soggy and did not have any crisp. The buns were good. Fast delivery I give it 2 stars because for the price, you can get something a lot better read more

Okay at best, but will work in a pinch if you're really craving soup dumplings and just want anything that resembles a tasty soupy morsel. The amount of soup within the dumplings is decent, but the flavor was nothing to write home about. Pan fried udon here is fragrant, but seemed to lack flavor overall; the noodles, meats, and veggies all could've used a good pinch of salt or soy sauce. Hot and sour soup also lacked salt, and was a bit too cornstarchy for me. Fillings within the soup were decent. I tend to prefer hot and sour soups that use white pepper for spice instead of chili oil, so this one was far from my favorite. Service is decent - food comes out quickly & the staff is quick with water/tea refills. Inside decor is cute, and restaurant is spacious. Not my favorite, not great, but will do the job especially since there aren't many XLB places in Brooklyn. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 11am and was seated right away . There is a sheet of paper of the menu and a pencil on the table so when you are ready to order you can just note it next to the items that you want. The staff was attentive and came to clean up empty plates regularly. Also I brought our own cake and they were accommodating and even provided us plates and forks when we asked. The place is covered with manga/anime related walls. Ordered the following: - Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumpling (6) $9.95 - Pork soup dumpling (6) $8.50 - Marinated jellyfish $8.95 - BEWARE: Lots of raw garlic pieces and a really small plate of jellyfish. Flavor was alright but every bite there was raw garlic. - Spring roll (3) $6.45 - Very disappointing, seems like they just purchased some frozen vegetable eggs rolls and put them in the oven. - Pancake with Sliced Beef $9.45 - It was a scallion pancake wrapped with a sweet marinated beef. - Shepherd's Purse Dumpling (6) $8.45 - Dumplings came with seaweed and small fried shrimp soup broth. Broth was alright but the dumpling doesn't have much flavor, very bland. Thank goodness for the hot sauce lol - House Special Stir Fried Udon $12.75 - Flavorful and had beef, chicken, and shrimp - Sticky Rice Shumai (4) $6.45 - Not that special. Sticky rice wrapped around a really thin layer of dumpling wrapper? - Pork w. Celery & dried tofu $13.95 - This came with a bowl of rice. However the dried tofu was so dry that was really hard to chew. Overall, I would definitely come back for the soup dumplings but the other dishes I would probably pass. read more

The beef fried rice cake dish is insanely addictive. Such gluten, chewy yumminess. And I always have enough for a second meal the next day, to get a double fix. The soup buns are great, but it's hard to get the proper experience through delivery. I'll still order, but it mainly turns into a wet mess as soon as I try to lift them. I still rate them so highly because they deliver to me in Dyker Heights, a ways away from their location, and because I find myself feening for their rice cakes. OH, and for the love of god, listen to Kenny C's review and order from the other menu! The prices listed here are highway robbery. Use the extra money to thank the delivery person during the pandemic :) read more

Mr. Bun lives up to its name and specializes in... dumplings? Guess it is related and the soup dumplings do look like buns. The store front is small compared to the large restaurant next to it so it is easy to miss but the front window is decorated with toys and anime figures so you might not even know you are looking at a restaurant if you glance at it. Inside has more anime figures and a wall mural dedicated to one piece. I have only ordered takeout from here twice since the pandemic and both times the food was delicious. They have a website you can order from (for those that do not like to order by phone like me) and will txt updates once food is ready. I am a big fan of the four happiness and the pan fried buns. The soup dumplings do have actual flavourful soup inside and the crab one actually tastes like crab. One of the better soup dumpling spots here in brooklyn. read more

I was on a search for good soup dumplings in Brooklyn without having to venture into the city and came across this place on Yelp. Reviews were pretty good so decided to give it a try. Walked in on a Thursday evening and place was empty for dine-in. Service was quick. Here are some dishes we ordered: - Hot and sour soup. 4/5 I love hot and sour soup so I had my expectations up but I've had better. This was more mild in flavor, but was still good. - Beef and tripe. 4/5. Wish it was a bit more spicy. The numbness builds up though but would be much better with an extra kick. - Pork soup dumplings. 5/5 skin is thin but structured enough to hold the juice in without being doughy. The soup inside is delicious. It's like an umami bomb in your mouth. - Crab and pork soup dumplings. 4.5/5 this one is slightly less salty than the pork flavored soup dumplings. Had a good crab flavor without the fishiness. I usually don't like crab flavored soup dumplings but this place did it well. - Scallion pancakes. 3/5. Lack of scallion flavor. Great texture though. - Pancake with sliced beef. 3.5/5 the pancake is basically scallion pancake with beef rolled inside. Good texture but I personally didn't like the beef flavor because it had a bit of a sweet sauce. - Eggplant with garlic sauce (spicy). 4/5 wasn't even spicy. I guess this place mild down the spice level of every dish. It was a good dish but I prefer Cantonese style with salted fish. - Pan fried pork bun. 4.5/5 the dough is soft on top, crispy on the bottom. Filling is nice and tender. It tastes like the soup dumpling but in a bun version because it also has broth inside. But on the pricier side. About $9 for 4. All this food came out to be about $81 before tips. Overall, a delicious meal and I would definitely come back but I wish they took a chance and kick up the flavors for some of these dishes. read more

The staff is nice. First of all, I love the name of this place. I've tried their soup dumpling, pan fried pork buns and their hot and sour soup. Both the soup dumplings and pan fried pork buns were juicy and pretty tasty. The portions though are smaller than I am used to. Once again I can say I've been spoiled by the food I get in Manhattan Chinatown. The hot and sour soup actually lived up to it's name. It was not watered down like some other places that I've tried. I see myself coming back in the future. read more

Had incredible Shanghainese cuisine at Mr. Bun in Bensonhurst. Brooklyn. Authentic, tasty, and inexpensive. Everything was made to order. Indoor dining or takeout only. Some dishes are quite spicy.

Gone are the days of having to go into the city to get that XLB craving. This spot is located right on 86 St and has great XLB. The XLB came pretty quick and comes with 6 per order. The soup is flavorful and the skin was not too thick. The meat was good as well. Be careful as they are very hot when they come out! The house special stir fried udon was pretty good as well. Good amount of veggies and meat. It came with 2 pieces of shrimp It's just very exciting to have a XLB place in Brooklyn without having to go to the city or flushing read more

We finally returned to our favorite place for their pork soup dumplings since the pandemic. Instead of getting our usual (pork soup dumplings & house special stir fried udon), we also ordered the spicy beef & tripe and hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup was tasty and expected but the spicy beef & tripe was different in a good way. It's pretty spicy with a bit of numbing sensation after eating a few of it but it is still tolerable. This dish is served cold so the tripe is a bite chewy for me but I love the flavorful tasty sauce of it. The staffing is efficient and friendly. The place is roomy. You may want to come a bit early to avoid the crowd. This place tends to be packed. read more

This rating is a reflection of my in-person and my in-app experience. My family really likes Mr. Bun. We get a clean, pleasant eating environment--rather unusual for the Chinese restaurants in the area--and good Shanghainese food. I love their Pan Fried Buns, Pork Soup Dumplings, etc. and their Pancake with Sliced Beef is too die for! When I first ordered from them last week, the prices were already pretty high (see photo). If you compare to their menu, the dishes are like $1.25 to $2 more than usual. Okay fine, the commission to these food delivery apps is insane; I get it. The food was still tasty, even though the portions were a bit smaller than in the actual restaurant. Still, the 2 entrees + appetizer (+ rice we cooked at home) were enough for 4 people. Then today, I see that Mr. Bun upped it even MORE (see photos). The Shepherd's Purse Dumpling increased by $2.50 and the Rice Cake by $4.50?? This is not fair to consumers either, man. read more

Always a lifesaver location for soup dumplings in the Bensonhurst, Bath Beach area of Brooklyn. My go-tos are always the scallion noodles, pork and crab soup dumplings, and occasionally some rice cake with stir fried beef dishes. One of the best, spacious, and popular Shanghai spots in Brooklyn 86th street Chinatown to go to. The only thing is it can get pretty pricy if you order a huge assortment of dishes together. Service is good if you go on a non-high traffic dining time. The most enjoyable parts while dining at this restaurant is the anime artwork they've installed on their walls, collections of figurines from Dragon Ball Z and Gundam at times. My most trusty place around from home when I need to fulfill my soup dumpling fix on those long work nights. Just make sure to eat your soup dumplings safely with discretion and not burn your tongues because it is refreshingly tasty. read more

Hot & Sour! I've not had a better Hot and Sour soup elsewhere in NYC. This isn't one of those soups where everything comes together simply. This soup is complicated! Sometimes the veggies are well beyand expiration and hard to chew, sometimes the soup base is missing the hot or sour, or sometimes it has neither, sometimes the soup just doesn't have the right viscosity, many times it's missing much of the crunchy wood ear mushrooms,... I could go on and on here. Mr Bun's got it perfect here. There are a ton of veggies and tofu, a mix of every addition in each bite, the soup isn't watery, the complexity in the soup base is wonderful with just a hint of sweetness to work with the hot and sour flavors. Mr Bun's Crispy Noodles are also similarly yummy. The thin egg noodles are super crunchy exactly as advertised. The soup base for the noodles are loaded with veggies and protein, a great accompaniment for soaking up by the crispy egg noodles. The soup dumplings are also a good order. The Sticky Rice Shu Mai are good but might just be overly starchy: The staff are super friendly and the decor is amusing. Definitely worth a visit for that soup! read more

Ordered takeout; one round of pork soup dumplings, one order of crab soup dumplings. I know there aren't many soup dumplings choices by here, so this was fine for what it is. However, it's just passable and nothing great. The soup dumplings; pork dumplings was pretty bland and reminiscent of frozen dumplings I've had. The crab/pork dumplings had more flavor but the price jump didn't really equate. 3 out of the 12 dumplings ripped when I gently lifted them out of the container. I'm not a noob, so I know how to lift soup dumplings. What really annoyed me was the scallion pancake with beef. A little less than double the price of a plain scallion pancake but with the tiniest amount of beef. Incredible rip off. I've officially given up on Shanghainese soup dumplings in this area and much prefer the Georgian khinkali (larger doughier soup dumplings but with more flavor). read more

- An order sheet is provided where you can circle everything you want. - Pork Soup dumplings- These were bomb. There are places that serve soup dumplings where the meat is very small or there is a lack of soup within. Mr Bun is the opposite, the meat within is large and there is so much soup! It comes steaming hot so be careful while slurping the soup. 1 order is never enough! - Scallion pancakes - This was a bit too crispy then how i usually like my scallion pancakes, but it was decent. Almost every table being served ordered this dish - young chow fried rice- Bombb! This was so flavorful with a great mixture of ingredients. This was my favoriate dish! - sticky rice shumai - I was not a fan of this, It was a bit too mushy for my liking. read more

Overall Rating: 3.875/5 One of the very few Shanghainese restaurants in Brooklyn! It's also convenient that it's located on 86th st. Although not 100% authentic, it's enough to satisfy your cravings. I heard there was a new owner as well. Food: Pancake with Sliced Beef ($7.45) (3/5) Hm... Aside from the skin/pancake it was good. However, the skin was not crispy at all and it felt like it was sitting out for too long and the meat and sauce itself was cold. If it were crunchier, it definitely would've bumped up the rating! Pan Fried Pork Buns ($7.95) (5/5) Pretty good I'd say! It was crispy not the outside, filled with soup and the meat. It was very flavorful. Pork Soup Dumplings ($6.95) (4/5) I've definitely had better. The skin wasn't as thin as I thought it would be. But the soup and meat were good. The meat is tender and best when it's served. House Special Stir Fried Udon ($10.75) (3.5/5) I was surprised the price was marked down but I'm not complaining! This was way too salty in my opinion. After eating the other three items, I was craving for water. Ambience: This was brightly lit with OnePiece decorations around. If you were to come here for a family gathering, they would have to combine tables here and there. Price: Overall price was pretty decent! Good enough to satisfy your cravings and your wallet. Service: The food came in dish by dish so I couldn't get a pic of all four dishes together haha. But I appreciated that we could fill out what we wanted on the paper instead of ordering it ourselves. read more

It's been a while... and after being convinced by my SIL to come back for dinner; I thought it might be time to update my previous review. The service has gotten slightly better, the dumplings are still good (not better than enoodle though), tried their rice cakes and stir fry items... solid. Pan seared dumplings are good & juicy. The scallion pancakes are crispy. Upgrade to 3 stars. ****************************************** I hate seeing small business owners fail so quickly... but this place... after giving them 3 chances... I just don't see myself coming back after my recent visit. The food was just plain terrible... scallion pancakes were deflated, soggy and disgusting; compared to our first visit. Even my 13 yr old who usually eats everything fried couldn't stomach it. Noodle soup was disgusting, bland AF, flavorless and should not be on the menu. How does one f*ck up a fried rice? By making it without any care. Their shanghai fried rice - Worse than any take-out I've ever had. Their only saving grace, crap meat soup dumplings... it's half way decent. Hence the 2 stars, generous They changed the menu item. Couldn't care less about telling their customers??! Really?! Service was slow, inadequate, and the so-called manager is an ahole for (1) lying about their menu (2) not comp'ing a failed dish and (3) forcing unwanted food to their customers. Please go back to Hospitality Management school to do it right and not try to make a quick buck. Longevity with "loyal" customers - beats making a few dollars. Bye Mr. Bun. See you at E- Noodle. read more
