I absolutely love Mr. Bun. Their menu seems to be missing some of the items that are pictured on Yelp. I don't know if you can order them if you're there in person, or if they're no longer offered, but I'd love to try some of those other dishes someday. Like their Chongqing-style chicken, their Beef Chow Fun, etc..they make a good beef with asian chili, but I love the beef with bamboo shoots. They use the long, fresh stalks of bamboo shoot which are miles away from those rectangle strips that come in the can. I wish I could try their dumplings, but alas, gluten problems. Maybe they'll make a tapioca-skin one someday, or a rice paper dim sum. Until then, I'll keep enjoying the same dish. I finally got them to send a paper menu, hoping it would have the missing dishes on it. But it was just a printout of the online menu. Does anyone know if the menu is truncated for COVID-19? read more

Mr Bun - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Mr. Bun is my favorite soup dumpling spot in Brooklyn! I ordered take out and some of the soup dumplings popped. I love the crab meat pork soup dumplings. They taste so much better than the pork dumplings. The pork dumplings are not my favorite but the soup is still really yummy. The Shanghai fried rice taste okay. The fried rice is the dry and crumbly style. The chicken and broccoli was okay. The broccoli was a bit undercooked for my taste. My favorite dish besides the crab meat soup dumplings are the fried udon noodles! They are so soft and perfectly fried! They taste super good! Definitely get the udon noddles over the fried rice. If you come to Mr. Bun get the crab meat soup dumpling for sure! read more

Came here for the 3rd time and it seems like things aren't as good. The street parking around here is either a hit or miss. The first two times, the soup dumpling tasted really good. Then the third time, it tasted different. The soup was lacking taste. The noodle plates were small portions and tasteless. They don't give that much noodle and there's a lot of other stuff that they put in instead. I would recommend the udon noodle over the other noodle. Tried the pork belly for the first time and it was pretty good. The portion looks small but, it is good to feed 2-3people. The staffs were good, they would give plastic plate, fork and spoon for the kids. Would come back again and give it another try. read more

Came here on a Saturday night to try their soup dumplings. The restaurant has ample seating with a mixture of individual square tables and booths. The decor was extremely cute with little animated figures and excerpts from One Piece. I got the sticky rice dumplings, pork and crab soup dumplings, beef fried noodles and a tofu/salty egg/shrimp scramble. The sticky rice dumplings were the star of the show. It had such a rich mushroom and meaty flavor. The soup dumplings were very good as well but nothing too special. However, the noodles and shrimp scramble were definitely a pass. The portions are pretty small, my boyfriend and I were just content after this meal. Would definitely come back for the dumplings only. Plus, if you spend more than $25, they give you a free basket of soup dumplings! read more

I've had Mr Bun once indoor and once for take out. I know its obvious that everything tastes better fresh when you eat at the restaurant but it shouldn't be that dramatically different should it? When I had it indoor everything was super fresh and delicious. Not the best soup dumplings or scallion pancakes ive had but still good, since we dont have many places around for it in brooklyn. I just had it for take out yesterday and everything I had was mediocre, it took me about 15min to get home. Soup dumplings were still good, still had the soup inside so no complaints there. Everything was relatively under-seasoned, I got a fried rice, and that was legit mushy, all the grains of rice were clumped together, lacked salt and flavor. Shanghai fried rices are normally full of flavor anywhere you get it honestly. The pan fried buns, also lacked flavor, the filling seriously needed some salt. It also was super soft and soggy when I got it, I've ordered pan fried buns from other places before and those still usually come with a nice browned bottom and firmer. I guess that might be a personal preference thing though? I guess all I can really say is this place is alright. Not the best and not the worst. read more

Have dinner here with my parents. The soup dumplings is very delicious. Th dumpling skin is very thin and inside full of soup. I ordered the pork soup dumplings and crab meat soup dumplings. My dad said the dumplings taste very good, so end up we re order the soup dumplings for my dad. Lol~ The beef with chili pepper also very good. If can eat spicy, you just order regular beef with chili pepper, if you only can eat little spicy like me, can ask them less spicy, they will put less chili pepper. The cooking time the beef control very good. The sticky rice shumai also can try if you like sticky rice. My friend said the pan fried pork bun also taste very good. I didn't try this time because too full. Will try next time read more

Loved their soup dumplings. Didn't have to wait for too long. Got a couple of other dishes which were good too!

Horrible service. Waited over an hour for no food. Waiter stated numerous times it's being prepared but never came. We paid and left. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL POSSIBLE. read more

Pleasant experience! Did not originally plan to go here but glad we did. We ordered the crab meat dumplings, rice cake with pork and preserved cabbage, pork crispy noodles and the pan fried buns. For the crispy noodle dish, they separate the sauce and the cooked ingredients on another plate when they set it on your table. I thought that was interesting- usually restaurants would pour it all on top of the noodles. Anyway, everything was delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

If you're not Asian don't bother dining in.

Mr Bun - Shanghai Fried Rice and rice dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered a vegetable udon, hot sour soup, scallion pancakes, pork soup dumplings, and beef with chili peppers. First, when I got the hot and sour soup, the soup was cooler than room temperature. I'm not sure if that's how they have decided to serve the soup but that was already a red flag for me. The soup was neither hot (spicy) or sour. It tasted bland. I would recommend the scallion pancakes though. It was nice and crispy. Their soup dumplings are okay, they're not bad but not the best either. A little bland as well. However, the chili pepper and beef dish was tasty. The chili peppers were really spicy and gave it a good kick. I did feel like the peppers were the only thing that gave the dish flavor though. The vegetable udon was pretty good too. But it was a little bit dry. Hot sour soup: 1/5 Pork soup dumplings: 3.5/5 Beef and chili pepper: 3/5 Vegetable udon: 4/5 Scallion pancakes: 4/5 Overall; I would rate this place a 3/5 because for the most part, everything tasted pretty bland. I hope to see improvements in the future. read more

Negative thing first - this place recommends their tip after tax so pay attention to your bill when you get it. My review: This place is fantastic! I've seen it in the neighborhood driving by a few times, but never paid attention to it. I admit, I thought the name was corny and figured restaurants like this never last. A friend recommended this spot to me and I finally had the chance to try it a few days ago! I am so glad I did! This is now my new go to for xlb in the area. The xlb be here is delicious. It has so much soup in there, it is unbelievable. I didn't even know that was possible. I've never had xlb that was that soupy before. Now I know! Not even in Asia. The xlb comes in 6 here. I miss the old days when they used to come with 8. I wish places would just make them smaller and still have the traditional 8 rather than the 6 and have them bigger. They are easier to eat. I will definitely be back for more. Scallion pancake - this was good. It's your typical scallion pancake so if you like this, definitely order it. Pan fried pork buns - These were also good too and comes in 4. They take a while to make so make sure you order them first. The bottom was nice and crispy and inside even had some soup. 3 Cup Chicken - I've never had this before so I wasn't too sure what to expect. It has a lot of flavor so make sure you like that flavor if you're going to order this. Otherwise, you probably won't like it. Bok choy - Your typical veggie dish. Must wash down the rest of the food with some green leafy veggies. Overall, this place gets pretty busy at times so come during off peak time. The place is very cute. I love the anime and cartoon theme. The people that speak here mostly speak Cantonese. The menus are in English though so just point and you'll be fine. I'll be back! This is a great option for the neighborhood. read more

The best Chinese food restaurant in Brooklyn. I'm still eating here and leaving the review. Best soup dumplings. Best udon . Come and get it

My husband and I stumbled across this place while hunting for soup dumplings near Bay Ridge and were pleasantly surprised. You order off of a paper menu (you are also given plastic menus with pictures of each item) and mark off your choices. Their soup dumplings are a must-have, and their pork buns are also quite tasty. The staff was kind, attentive, and fast despite the restaurant being packed while we were there AND our food came out quickly. Definitely coming back - thank you for an amazing meal Mr Bun! read more

After countless of times walking past by this restaurant, I finally decided to go in and try it. Came in for a very late lunch and the place was empty. Perhaps this place gets going for lunch hours only as they do have a lunch special in their menu. I took a seat and was asked for a tea or water - I get tea - and the tea was cold. Ordering food here is like those sushi buffet or hot pot Buffett style - mark your order, give it to the server, and the food comes out. Decor was cool. I'm an anime fan and seeing the wallpapers and figurines was cool - makes me wonder who is the owner. I got the: - scallion pancake: super crispy! Comes in with two pancakes cut up into 4's. A lot for one person but great for sharing. - pork and crab soup dumplings: it was meh. The vinegar and chili oil was needed to get that extra flavor. - scallion noodles: needed a bit of salt to pull the flavors together. In my opinion, scallion oil was weak, but, the noodles had a nice chew. Overall, if you in south Brooklyn, it's worth a try. There isn't many soup dumpling restaurants in Brooklyn to begin with so why not. read more

Oooh so good! An actual gold find on 86th street. Delicious pork soup dumplings, amazing shredded pork with Peking sauce. Their scallion pancakes and red bean cake is to die for. The sesame chicken is mostly meat and not fried bits but large chunks of delicious meat with a thin crispy layer of fry. Honestly any food here is fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

Tasty Shanghainese food! Good for a casual, simple meal with friends. We ordered a ton of food. Some memorable dishes were the pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, dongpo meat, scallion noodles (my friend is obsessed), and pancake with sliced beef. The soup dumplings were pretty good. I liked them, and they're good enough to satisfy a craving, but I wouldn't say they're the best ever. Worth ordering if you're here though! Or if you're in the area and you want soup dumplings. The dongpo meat was very good! Melts in your mouth. Should definitely get this. My friend is OBSESSED with the scallion noodles. They're quite addicting. I really enjoyed the pancake with sliced beef! Very, very tasty and not too oily. The service was also pretty good and attentive. Would highly recommend coming here if you're in this area! Super affordable, tasty food. read more

This is one of the better places in the neighborhood . Great buns and chicken dishes but my favorite is ( haven't tried any beef) pork preserved veg. So far in the 8-10 times I've gotten takeout it's been really great. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is due to the recent price hike. As someone said below, the prices have jumped about 20% and some as high as 40% ( sesame chicken went from $10 to almost $15.) I'll still eat there, 100%, but just not as often as I was. Great place none the less. read more

The shanghainese food here is solid. Almost everything here is good, and is perfect for a family style meal. They have this salted egg tofu that is amazing! They also carry your typical Shanghai food choices such as soup dumplings and shanghai chow mein. Came here a few times and very happy with the food. Its nice to have this variety in the area at a normal price. Ordered the typical stuff including soup dumplings, shanghai chow mein, and the stir fryed oval noodles which were all good. However, I would use these as sides to some of the more impressive dishes. The kou sui ji (saliva chicken?) and the salted egg shrimp tofu is a killer. read more

Great local restaurant. 4.5/5 The decor in this place isn't what you would expect. From the outside, the storefront isn't that noticeable. Inside, it's a lot of anime/comic book stuff. Tables were clean, seats were ok. Came here twice so far and both time there were no wait. Once on a Friday night at 8pm and once on a Sunday at 3pm. Both times they were out of soymilk so I guess that's a popular item. The Scallion pancake with sliced beef is really good. I would highly recommend it. The Crabmeat and pork soup dumplings were pretty good. Its not as good as flushing, but definitely one of the better places in the area. Overall no complaints, the skins were thin and none of my dumplings came out popped. They provide a dish with ginger slices and vinegar on the tables. The vinegar does seem a little bit water down/lower quality(?) but overall still good. The panfried pork buns my table got were not good. I feel like I got a batch that may have been rushed. The bun itself was fine, however the filling had zero seasoning at all. Other reviews say they had good ones, so I'm going to try it again and hopefully they remember to season the meat filing this time. Cucumber salad was refreshing. It's quiet strong with raw garlic so if you don't like garlic I'd avoid it. The Marinated jellyfish was mediocre. I would not order it again unless I really wanted jellyfish. It was a little bland and just tasted of garlic and vinegar. Beef w. Chili pepper is really good. The chilis they use can be hit or miss for spice, non were extremely spicy however be warned that some do pack a punch. Very tasty. The dish is mostly peppers which is what I had in shanghai too, but if you were expecting beef to be the star of the show, just know its more pepper than beef. The crispy noodle with vegs were unremarkable. Would skip this dish. Overall the service is pretty good. The waiters are attentive and fill up water cups regularly. Would recommend trying it out for anyone in the area. read more

This review is strictly for the food. I placed my order through UberEats since i wasn't able to order through yelp or seamless. Not a big deal, but definitely a much more costly delivery fee. Hot and sour soup: Pretty good. All the correct flavors were there and not overly spicy. I would order this again. Pork and pickled vegetable stir fried rice cake: Super super salty!!! They definitely added additional salt to the dish when not needed as the pickled veggies are already salty on their own. Not the pork in the dish was tender was also sadly very salty. I really love rice cakes but I wouldn't order this again. Definitely hard to eat. Beef and Mushroom: Well made dish. Nothing spectacular but the there was a good balance in the peppers, mushrooms and beef. I ended up adding my rice cake to this dish which helped balanced out the saltiness from the rice cake itself. Eggplant in garlic sauce: I love a good eggplant in garlic sauce, but this was just mediocre. The eggplant was cooked well however lacked flavor and the sauce was a bit watery. Skip it and get something else. Crabmeat and Pork Soup Dumpling: It was okay. Granted, this was delivered so I'm not going to get it pipping hot. Pros, each dumpling came fully intact! Cons, really it was kind of whatever, maybe better eaten at the restaurant. Soymilk: Came warm and perfectly sweetened in a pint container. Hands down would order it again. Mr. Buns curbed my cravings for shanghainese food, not too sure i'd order from here again, but might be willing to give it another try in the future. read more

Oh my goodness, first time here and it was absolutely amazing! The flavor was very simple but also favorable at the same time. Definitely try the beef chow fun and the soup dumpling. My favorite out of the 4 dishes! Highly recommended!! read more

I'll start off by saying that the prices were very good. As for the food- it was pretty good. We ordered the scallion noodles, sweet and sour ribs, udon with beef, pork soup dumplings and to end we ordered red bean buns. The soup dumplings were yummy. But not comparable to Joe Shanghai in the city. They were smaller and thinner but for the price they were a treat. Sweet and sour ribs are something you should try. The sauce was delicious. UNFORTUNATELY some of the ribs were cold... so that did make me believe they were precut and put in the freezer. Udon with beef was actually dry... the taste was nice but there was no sauce in the noodles at all. (Photos on menu showed that there was a sauce) Scallion noodles were actually my favorite part of the meal. They added fried scallions on top and some dried shrimp. Very tasty. I love red bean buns... they were delicious. They come steamed- so they're a good treat for the end of a decent meal. The service was very good. You order on a piece of paper so your interaction with the waitress is short. Everyone was very polite and attentive. Overall good experience read more

I came here for the soup dumplings and I enjoyed them. The staff is pretty nice and they keep my tea filled and hot But would've been better if they served hot tea in a glass cup instead. I came here many times before and the last time I noticed the servers did not change their gloves after cleaning nor did they change gloves after touching money. I was disappointed, that's gross and unsanitary. I hope they address this matter because I would like to come back and enjoyed their food again. read more

First time ordering here and Honestly I don't know who's the driver for this place when I ordered from Grubhub but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth (usually it's the restaurant drivers for Grubhub). The driver complained we didn't give enough tips because they drove from far away ($5 and We gave $2 more). If you didn't want to deliver further please limit the miles on the app. We NEVER had any driver said that to us before. Super unappreciative. THEN, the funniest thing was that we realized one of our item was missing. Food wasn't bad but Never again! read more

Mr Bun - 12. Pan Fried Pork Bun, so juicy - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my second time coming here, the service and the food is okay good as usual. My boyfriend and I ordered the hot and sour soup, drunken chicken, scallion noodles, and the scallion pancakes. Personally I am really particular with my hot and sour soup, I think the size is good for its price. As of the taste, I feel like it is hit or miss. This time it had a very strong black pepper taste as comparing to the first time I tried it there. For the drunken chicken, I'm not really a fan of it. It was a little too fatty for my taste. The scallion noodles is simple and small but really filling. Lastly, the scallion pancakes are bomb! Very crispy! Strongly recommend it! read more

Deeeeelicious! We ordered the beef pancakes, soup dumplings, general tso's chicken and beef with broccoli. I enjoyed the food so much that I even got take out to take home for my mother. She really liked the food too! The only negative thing I have to say about this place is that the waiter didn't write down our order, and so I made this comment to my friend saying, "I bet you he's going to mess up our order. There's no way he is going to remember everything we just said..." and as I guessed, he did mess up. He brought out the wrong dumplings and told us that he thought we ordered the meat ones instead of the veggie ones (my friend is a vegetarian so we had made it clear). read more

MR BUN OVERALL: 7.7/10 The place is good, the food is good, customer service is good. FOOD: 7.6/10 We got the soup dumplings, drunk chicken, rice cake, shumai. The soup dumplings I'd say Like Cafe is better. The texture of the dumpling is good but the soup and the meat doesn't really have much taste. The drunken chicken had WAYYY too much taste was a little too salty. The rice cake was perfect, not too heavy. The shumai barely had any taste to it but the texture was pretty good. SERVICE: 7.7/10 Service is typically good. CLEANLINESS: 8.6/10 The place is clean. ATMOSPHERE: 10/10 Good place, cute designs around.
