#8.Pork Soup Dumpling 47. Scallion Noodle
Ellen C.

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!!! :)

#3. Cucumber Salad
Vivian L.

So happy I finally visited this restaurant. The soup dumplings are some of the best I've had in Brooklyn! They're served super hot and the skin is super thin. Everything we ordered was delicious but I highly recommend the scallion pancake with meat so good! The cucumbers were addicting and the beef and tripe was also delicious The service is no frills but very fast. The restaurant was clean with cute anime decor!

House Special Fried Rice

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!

Soup dumplings was good for craving, the hot and sour soup was good. Bathroom was alright. the light meal was a calm snack. There is big enoki mushroom in the soup which was nice to eat and share with.

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...

The place had a warm, comfortable fun feel about it, and the service was amazing! I asked the waiter " Whats good?" And he didn't disappoint! I got the scallion beef (delicious) and some of the best soup dumplings I have had in a long time! Pork soup and the crab meat and pork dumplings- DELICIOUS! I plan on coming back very soon. This place is definitely on point!

Menu 1/2023

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

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

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.

04.12.2024 Friday @ 7:01pm Walk-in for a table of 3. First time eat in. I usually order take out. Only two girls in the front, service was pretty slow. Took long time to take order and even to give and take the bills.

Soup dumplings are delicious and a reasonable price. The service was good and quick. Nice place to go for a lunch or even dinner.

Stopped by here for some soup dumplings on a freezing winter day. The pork soup dumplings and cucumber salad were good. Scallion pancake was just ok. Overall a nice spot for a quick bite/casual eats.

#8.Pork Soup Dumpling
Eric H.

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.

I loved that we all got individual vinegar ginger dips - Crab + Pork Soup Dumplings: 9/10 - better than the Pork! The skin wasn't as thick for our batch - Scallop Soup Dumplings: 7/10 - not a huge fan of the flavor, but I like that they don't skimp on the scallop! - Shanghai Lo Mein & Shanghai Style Rice Cake: 7/10 - they could've had more wok fry, but good flavor - Fried Wonton in Peanut + Hot Sauce: 8/10 - I really enjoyed this dish! It's not very spicy + topped with a crushed peanut/sugar flavor - so good! - Braised Pork Belly: 8/10 - pretty heavy, unless you eat it with the bao buns. Very flavorful, and may go good with a bowl of rice as well! - Scallion Pancake & String Beans: 9/10 - standard + yummy! Overall, it was a good place for a meal, but I personally had better soup dumplings elsewhere. Otherwise, everything else is alright!

Four of us had dinner here on Labor Day evening. When we arrived, we were told to expect a fifteen…read moreminute wait for seating, and it was pretty much on the dot. A carafe of water was promptly brought to the table. We took a long time with the menu because it is extensive, and wonderful. We finally agreed on Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Kau Fu, Dry Sautéed Green Beans with Meat, Salt & Pepper Squid, and Shanghainese Style Rice Cakes. The Kau Fu arrived first, and was truly exceptional, with large, firm, and juicy chunks of seitan, and a good sprinkling of large, not rubbery tree ears. My friend who said she didn't like seitan tried it, and liked it a lot. Kai Fu has a slight licorish flavor, and is a little sweet. We finished every bite. Moving on to the soup dumplings, the broth was delicate and the skins were thin and tender, altogether the best I've had in a long time. The green beans were perfect, seared and crispy, as they should be, with ground pork and a little pickled veg. The rice cakes were appropriately chewy, and we enjoyed the baby bok choy, mushrooms, and shrimp in the mild sauce. The squid was the only dish that wasn't perfect, being a little bland and a tiny bit too chewy for the size of the pieces. The service was attentive without being too much. We were offered hot tea, and a second carafe of water, without having to ask. The noise level from the other diners was a bit high for me, but I put my hearing aids on the noisy/party setting, and I could hear my friends, which was the important thing. We all agreed that we needed to come back again (and again) to try other dishes. I especially want to have the Hong Kong style Hot & Sour soup, which you can't get at most Chinese restaurants.

Skin pretty thin so they pop really easily 2. Garlic Cucumber - kind of bland, we added the chili oil to make it taste better 3. Pork & Shrimp Shumai - filled with meat, steamed fresh, at least 2 small shrimps per piece 4. Beef Shanghai style noodles - much better this time!! My issue last time was that it was SO SALTY. It's wayyy better this time. Kind of oily for my taste but the flavor was there!! I like that the seating is spacious and they don't try to cram tables and people right up on top of each other even when there's a line out the door.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while and finally got the chance to today. Not very busy…read moreon a Sunday afternoon so seating wasn't an issue. Our host/server was very prompt in greeting us with menus and ice waters. We ordered crab and pork soup dumplings, steamed rice rolls with hoisin and peanut sauce and oxtail in curry sauce. Everything came out within 10min of ordering and was piping hot. Crab and pork soup dumplings- the tops of the dumplings were fairly dry but the soup and dumpling itself had a nice flavor Steamed rice roll w/ hoisin and peanut sauce- Exceptional! The rolls were soft and light not sticky and dense. They were cut up bite size and the sauce was ample. I grew up eating from Cheung fun carts which are and still are easy to come by BUT the actual good ones are hard and far to come by. E Noodle definitely invokes that nostalgic feeling of being a kid and your parents dragging you to Chinatown early on a SAT/SUN morning so that you can carry the groceries but you knew your one reward was being able to see the elderly Cheung fun lady w/ the cart...Next time I will def add fish balls. Oxtail w/ curry sauce- we def enjoyed this dish and was pleasantly surprised at how tender the oxtail was. Can't wait to comeback and try other items on the menu.

Wontons are the star here - fresh, thin-skinned, and tasting home made. The soup was a bit salty,…read morebut the rice noodles hit my cheung fun craving, even though I wish they were flat, wide noodles with a little bok choy for a heartier lunch. The container they used to separate the noodles from the soup was a genius idea; I was worried there'd be no broth left by the time it arrived, but everything held up really well. The preserved egg and pork congee was just okay, but overall they clearly do wontons and noodles well. I wouldn't do delivery again, but I'd happily come back for takeout or dine-in and try more dishes.

The food is why we are all here and this place did not miss! We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation and it was a Sunday night.

The only other place I've had soup dumplings as good is in flushing - that's high praise from this queens girl. Next up we ordered the scallion pancakes - which ruined all other scallion pancakes for me. They were ultra crispy and flaky. The dipping sauce was deeply flavorful and the portion was perfect. We also ordered the chicken wantons that came in a chili crisp oil and peanut sauce, delicious. The pork noodles were the secret star because the description was pretty straight forward. But my partner is a chef and insisted we get them. They were some of the best noodles I've ever had. Definitely made in house and they were coated in a flavorful sauce. The crispy garlic chicken was so good that I had to take it to go because we were stuffed, still amazing the next day.
