#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!

#10.Pan Fried Pork Bun #8.Pork Soup Dumpling can

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!

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!

#8.Pork Soup Dumpling

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.

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

2x Pork dumplings
Cindy C.

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.

crab and shrimp xlb
Andrew C.

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.

48. House Special Noodle Soup

Online on the uber eats app they showed the house special as completely different then what I got, the food has a weird mix of veggies and chicken and beef and shrimp and the soup base looks nothing like the picture

Kyle N.

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.

I'm so surprised, given the 4+ star rating, how bad this food was…read more The hot and sour soup just tasted like black pepper - which is nothing like what hot and sour soup is supposed to taste like. Also, it didn't come with any soup noodles. The scallion pancakes were very thick, and also tasted off. The 1 inch sauce container was only 1/4 filled and the sauce was extremely saucy. The general tso sauce was super thick, gooey and gelatinous, and the fried rice that came with it tasted more like steamed white rice with soy sauce than anything fried. I try Chinese take-out from various spots throughout southern Brooklyn at least 2-3 times a month, and this was really disappointing.

Coming from Queens, where there's a plethora of popular Shanghainese places, I had lower…read moreexpectation for Liu's Shanghai especially for their soup dumplings. We arrived on a Saturday night around 6pm and it was packed; there were two parties ahead of us so we opted to put our name down and wait approximately 15-20, which I thought was pretty reasonable. They arrange the tables to optimize space for the following parties, so you might just get lucky with the seating arrangements. As most Chinese establishments, service was fast-paced, but we never felt rushed at any point of the meal despite the hustle and bustle. We ordered a few items for our party of 4 to share: 1. SCALLOP AND PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS: Surprisingly was a fan of this. There were big chunks of scallops in the meat. Gave the meat a bit of a bounce, but wasn't tough or chewy either. Normally would order crab at most soup dumpling spots, but scallop was new to me. Would get this again. 2. PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS: I commend them for an actual juicy and soupy filling. The pork was seasoned well and we had a whole spoonful of soup from each dumpling. The skin was a little thick for my liking. My judgment of soup dumpling is usually determined by the skin and this one didn't exactly meet the criteria. 3. FRIED WONTONS IN PEANUT AND HOT SAUCE: The star of the show! This was the dish that everyone seems to rave about and what we actually came for. The wontons were fried to a perfect crisp; they were actually crunchy and maintained that despite being dredged in sauce. I felt like there was a bit of a sugary caramelization to it, which balanced out the salty component of the dish. This whole dish encompassed every category in the flavor and texture department. 4. BEEF IN BLACK PEPPER SAUCE: I could've done without this tbh. There were a lot of onions in this, which I have no complaint about, but I wasn't trying to get my money's worth of onions here LOL. Black pepper sauce wasn't anything special either. I actually forgot that it was black pepper sauce because it wasn't peppery enough. 5. SHANGHAI RICE CAKES: The rice cakes had a pleasant chew to it and the sauce coated it evenly. I wish the rice cakes had a little more char to it so it would be more fragrant. Good, but not life changing. Overall a pleasant experience and certainly met expectations. There were some dishes that I liked more than others and some that I could do without. Probs wouldn't make the trip here frequently, but the wontons are definitely worth the trip!

But, what…read moremakes this place better than what we have at home, is the TASTE and how perfectly cooked everything was. Just an FYI, this place is CASH ONLY. Pork Soup Dumplings: 10/10 Its a bit more big than our usual size back home and I see WHY. There so much soup in them. Like, HELLO! Love, love, love it. Scallion pancakes: 10/10 like I honestly wish they had two pancakes on the plate, because we ordered another one after we killed the first one in like 2 seconds. Spicy wontons: 100/10 everyone has had spicy wontons every else, but these are by far the best I have EVER HAD. They don't just throw chili crisp oil in there, they also put other flavors in there and we ordered a second round of these as well. Eggplant with garlic sauce: 9/10 you can't go wrong with eggplant with garlic sauce. First place I've been too where they don't fry it first, but it was still a hit with us. Dry sautéed shredded beef: 8/10 I personally like, my brother and husband weren't really big fans of it. They said it was too much breading on it and it was super sweet. Vegetable Chow Mein: 8/10 there needed to be more of a veggie and noodle ratio. Flavor was definitely there, but wanted more noodle with every veggie bite. Overall: 9/10 Service was great, presentation was THERE and the food was exactly what you want when you come to Chinatown. It is a wait if you get there at certain hours, but I would totally wait just for them. Worth every step to get here.

Cheli - I love the pork belly. The veggies were a little undercooked, but it still tasted pretty good.

One of my favorite spots for Chinese food in NYC! I was honestly a bit dubious when my friend first…read morerecommended this spot to me since the dishes seemed a bit too Instagrammable, but Che Li was beyond ready to prove that gimmicky food can be authentic and delicious. We started our meal with the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and they were genuinely some of the best soup dumplings I've had in the US -- the skin was remarkably thin, yet sturdy and managed to defend the ultra-flavorful soup from my manhandling and multiple failed attempts to pick one up. We also had the pu'er tea rice with uni, which was a great way to whet our appetite for the rest of the meal; the rice was cooked well and soaked up all of the goodness from the pu'er, and the uni gave the whole dish a great hit of umami. While this was a great and well-executed starter, it was also really small and not the most earth-shattering, so I'll probably opt to skip it for next time; even so, it was great preparation for the next round of dishes, including the full steamed yellow croaker, stir-fried water spinach, and crab and tofu. The steamed yellow croaker was fantastic; the sauce was subtly salty, umami, and tangy, and the fermented rice offered a little pop of sweetness. The fish itself was remarkably tender and easily slid off the bones; the dish was simple, yet executed perfectly. The same could be said of the crab and tofu, which went perfectly with their freshly steamed rice. The crab offered a bit of brininess and saltiness, which the silken tofu just soaked up like a sponge. The stir-fried water spinach was a great pop of green in our otherwise very protein-heavy meal. The veggies were well-cooked and not too oily, but also had a ton of flavor from the verifiable mountain of garlic they threw in there. All in all, this was an absolutely wonderful meal -- the dishes we chose were relatively simple, but crafted expertly and authentically. While a few others definitely felt a bit gimmicky (i.e., the longjiang prawns), the tables around us still had rave reviews for those dishes' authenticity and taste. Will absolutely be stopping by here again the next time I'm in NYC.

Growing up, we had pan fried noodles all the time. They're harder to find now, and when I do find them, they're often disappointing. Not here. The shrimp pan fried noodles were excellent.

I had enough for lunch and dinner the next day, which is always a win. I've passed this place so many times and I'm so glad I finally gave them a try.

Each soup dumpling came in its own separate plastic cup (if you've ordered these before, you know how easily they can arrive broken with soup everywhere).

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 only other place I've had soup dumplings as good is in flushing - that's high praise from this queens girl.
