Ah, one of the few soup dumpling spots in Brooklyn. I came on a holiday for lunch, and even though there was ample seating, the max you can fit in a table is like 5, so not the most ideal for large groups. To order food, you mark them on a piece of paper and give that in. We ordered Pork Soup Dumplings, Crab Meat & Pork Dumplings, Pan Fried Pork Buns, Scallion Pancake, and Shredded Pork and Preserved Vegetables Rice Cakes. Everything trickled in one by one. The Shredded Pork and Preserved Vegetables Rice Cakes ($11.75) was a generous portion, and they did not skimp on the meats! The pork was well marinated but other than that, it was your standard oily goodness that I expect it to taste like. The Pork Soup Dumplings ($6.95) and Crab Meat & Pork Dumplings ($7.95) came with 6 each. The skin had a nice thinness to it, and was capable of breaking, which is always my check to a sign of a good soup dumpling. However, the soup was very mediocre. I don't think that "soup" had any distinguishing taste, if at all. The crab had more flavor than the pork. They should also have a dipping spoon for the vinegar! The Pan Fried Pork Buns ($7.95) for 4 pieces is expensive, damn I just realized. But they were perfectly fried and had a flattering golden bottom. There was also quite a bit of juice to that pork inside! Definitely eat these piping hot. The Scallion Pancakes ($3.95) were truly my favorite of the meal. They were crispy and THIN, with plentiful pieces. And because they were thin, you can really taste the fried oily taste that was everything I was craving. These are now my favorite scallion pancakes I ever had. Mr. Bun? Mr. Scallion Pancake sounds more like it! Still a solid soup dumplings meal in Brooklyn. read more

I'm suprised I don't have Mr. Bun photos but I've taken everyone I know here! One of my neighborhood go to spots..been here countless times food is always on point. Service quick and effiecent. Serving a teapot of I believe oolong tea with meals every time. Can also ask for tap water on the house. Obviously coming here soup dumplings are a must I always get both pork and crab. My two staple items I get besides soup dumplings are kung po chicken and bok choy, but I've basically tried everything on this menu and was never disappointed. It's worth trying dessert bun also if you have a sweet tooth their dough is very good. Def a south Brooklyn must visit ! read more

Still as good as when I wrote my 1st review of Mr. Bun. However, besides the soup dumplings, the Drunken Chicken, Beef w. Crispy Noodle and Pancake w. Sliced Beef were all additional winners. The Drunken Chicken is perfectly doused with wine and the flavor of the wine on the chicken is JUST RIGHT. The Beef w. Crispy Noodle here might be one of the best pan fried noodles made in all of Brooklyn. Quite the shocker considering this is a Shanghainese restaurant known for their soup dumplings. The noodles were extra extra crispy and although there was a ton of sauce on the dish, never did the noodles get soggy. There was so much of the vegetables mixed in, we definitely felt that we got our money's worth. The Pancake w. Sliced Beef was another winner here. The sliced beef was surprisingly tender and stuffed into the middle of the pancakes with some hoisin sauce for flavor. The moisture of the sauce was perfect for the pancake as it prevented any dryness. To report, everything served here was still as good as ever, but definitely give strong consideration to these 3 dishes. If I were stranded on an island with just 1 of them, I'd go with the Beef w. Crispy Noodle all day, everyday. read more

Went there on a Friday night in late August, the place had perhaps 4 or 5 active tables besides ours. The food was meh, with one particular chicken dish that wasn't close what my companions said it should have been like. We ordered the regular and crab dumplings, it's alright. Unfortunately, the place didn't have any real spicy oil or anything strong. We plowed through and to another restaurant down the street. To those raving on Infatuation, TimeOut and here, get a grip. A little dive called Little Shanghai Snack Bar (no longer around) in Manhattan's Chinatown would dust this place. However, it could be the current kitchen folks who don't make it like it used to be. Try at your consternation for ruing later that you could have gotten something tastier for the price paid. read more

I finally got to taste pork soup dumplings! I've heard about these dumplings for a few years now. I just googled and came up with Mr. Bun not far from home on 86th. They are soooo good I'm sorry I didn't get my husband his own . I only gave 4 stars because I haven't had any of the other food..yet..and I have nothing to compare them with. I will say they were absolutely delicious! I will gladly go back again. I'd like to try the scallion noodles too. The restaurant is clean and workers were nice. They told me it would be a 10 minute wait and it was so worth it. I have a photo of the last two and I almost missed that. Just a delicious warming dish to have on this rainy day. Oh by the way really nice manga artwork on the walls which gives the place a bright and fun feel. read more

I think I passed by the restaurant thinking it was an anime figurine store before I realized it was a restaurant. Once realized, I took the opportunity to dine in. The anime theme continued into the store with a giant One Piece wallpaper. I'd be a delightful kid if I was 10! Now I love my soup dumplings and I have been disappointed before but the dumpling itself is on point! The skin is thin, and the soup within the pork dumplings were super juicy. The one thing that threw off my experience was the really really cold vinegar (straight out of the fridge) that extinguished the fire...literally. I guess this is what happens when you're one of the first patrons dining in. They're just getting started! Other foods ordered were: Spring rolls - super super crispy Wonton soup with seaweed - which to my surprise was very tasty. read more

Ordered delivery through ubereats here. For 2 pork soup dumplings and a small hot and sour soup , it was $20 (inc. all fees, taxes, tips). When it arrived, it was still warm! They packaged everything nicely but I wish they used a bigger container for the dumplings cause the edges were piled on one another and I was worried that when picking it up, it would rip the other ones. Soup dumplings were super yummy. The skin was so thin - definitely thinner than Lius Shanghai- but did not rip super easily. There was so much soup in the dumpling! They do not provide large spoons but the smaller ones so it can be hard to catch the soup, but I did have big spoons at home. The vinegar provided was sweeter than normal ones I've tasted. The hot and sour soup was pretty standard and good. Overall, I would probably order again but not from ubereats cause of all the extra fees! read more

I've been meaning to stop in here for a while now, and after going through the 86th Street Festival, we were tired and decided to stop in to Mr. Bun for a snack. I ordered the spring rolls and pan fried pork bun and my wife got the vegetable crispy noodles. We were more than pleasantly surprised at the friendly service and just how damned good everything was! My wife said her crispy noodles were the best she's had, and she's a very picky eater. My spring rolls were pleasantly greasy with just the right ratio of cabbage to pork. The pan fried pork bus were just sublime. Perfectly seasoned pork in a beautifully fluffy bun. We're definitely coming back! read more

Mr Bun - a plate of food with meat and mushrooms - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Mr Bun is doing their best to make great soup dumplings in a highly competitive market. the location itself has a great menu with lots of delicious shanghai based items available. The Soup Dumplings themselves have a lot of soup but very little meat inside. flavor is decent and if you're desperate for dumplings this is a great spot to try out. Cash and Credit are accepted and they do a good job of taking care of customers. Prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly with great recommendations. would recommend if you're in the area and want some soup dumplings! read more

Had an early dinner around 6pm on a Thursday nite. The restaurant was empty except for another table. Nice modern decor in an Anime theme. Ordering was fairly easy. There was a menu showing pictures of the dishes and corresponding number and you indicate how many dishes you want by checking off the dishes on a preprinted list. We ordered the Pork Soup Dumplings, Sticky Rice Sui Mai Dumplings, House Special Stir Fried Udon, Stir Fried Rice Cakes with pork and General Tso Chicken. Orders came out fast. The Pork Soup Dumplings were the first to come out. They arrived steaming hot and were delicious. The dumplings had a loose minced meat filling soaked in an abundant amount savory broth. The Sticky Rice Sui Mai was okay; rice was a bit to soft for my taste and taste was just meh. The two stir fried noodle/rice cake dishes on the other hand were very well cooked; very tasty with a good wok taste. The meats were perfectly seasoned. The General Tso Chicken tasted more like a sweet and sour chicken but it was still good. The pieces of chicken were nicely breaded and still steamy hot when I bit into it. Complementary tea was a bit on the weak side; more like hot water. Service lacked a bit on attention side but still polite and friendly. Overall a good meal and I will be coming back again. read more

Didn't get a picture of the buns but we ordered 3 original (just pork) and 1 crab meat + pork. The restaurant gave us 1 on the house (apparently there is a promotion going on for if you spend $25+ to receive a free basket of soup dumplings). The Grandma's Pork was really tender and flavorful. Beef + Tripe was tasty but wish it was more tender. Salted Egg Yolk with Tofu was very good and great for the elderly if they cannot chew too much. Highly recommend! Yeung Chow Fried Rice was one of the highlights. It had pieces of ham and some vegetables. Not too oily, not too salty. Seafood Stir-fry Udon is a staple to shanghai cuisine! Must have noodles. The soup dumplings were just okay. It is known that this restaurant is not authentic Shanghainese. The flavors were very Toisan-style (if anyone knows what that means). Not that the flavors aren't good but its just not what was expected. Overall, try it and judge it for yourself! read more

Let me tell you about this place. After my errands run around Coney Island. I was walking under the D Line seeking something to eat after a very long long day at work.... Then I noticed something in the window of Mr Bun.... It was A "Super Saiyajin 4" (Super Saiyan 4) Vegeta figurine displaying amongst other figures in the front window of this restaurant.... You can tell where this review is going lmao. One thing y'all should know about me is that I LOVE!! CAFES, ANIME and local restaurants; so I HAD TO walk in and explore! I discovered that it was a restaurant. Been opened for 2 years (found that out after sharing a few words with the host/waiter) a very nice professional fellow. Now I quickly researched on Yelp the pictures of the food just to ya know, see and I immediately knew I was going to Be full after two or three bites. The Beef and Chili Paper is a spicy dish (combined that with white rice and water) that will immediately open your taste buds to a whole new world of flavors. Add the extra chili oil served on table and you're in for a real treat. This restaurant will not only present you with quality of flavors but it will also give you two years worth of hard work and dedication to their customers. ESPECIALLY amazing anime decor all over!! (I believe the owner is a huge One Piece fan) This was an amazing experience Thank you for serving me Please support the locals!! BK STAND UP!! For real! read more

If you're looking for soup dumplings without traveling to the city, then this is a good option. We went on a Sunday night around 7:30 and there was no wait. Out of everything we ordered the soup dumplings were my favorite. The skin was nice and thin and had a good amount of soup filling. You can always tell it's going to be a proper soup dumpling when the skin is just shy of being transparent. The other dishes we ordered were scallion pancake wrapped with beef, house special crispy noodles and I had a hot and sour soup. All of these were ok, but lacked deep flavors. If you're a local to the area it's a solid option for soup dumplings. read more

So I was told their food improved so came back for dinner to try their more savory dishes. The beef and bamboo shoots stir fried - very good The beef and hot peppers stir fried - good if your into spicy Chilli tripe - too greasy, a bit too tough and chewy Stir fried rice cake with blue crab - tasty and flavorful but watch out for broken shells amongst the rice cake. It cut up my mouth. Chicken fried rice - still too bland and chicken was dry Overall, some of the dishes was definitely an improvement and some still needs work. Solid 3.5 stars. read more

Ordered take out from Mr. Bun. The pork soup dumplings surprisingly still had their soup inside. The skin is definitely thinner than it's rival at Liu's but still good. The only issue I have is you're paying for 6 soup dumplings when you get 8 at Liu's... The beef stir fried noodles were pretty bland and greasy. I've definitely had better. The scallion pancake with beef also could've been better. I will give this place a try again but at the moment, Liu's Shanghai is a better option. read more

I used to travel all the way to the city for my soup dumplings craving. Magic word here is "used to", now that I found Mr. Bun, the travel is no longer needed. This is so much better and right around the corner. This is the place to go for their soup dumplings!!!! The soup dumplings are filled with soup (a whole spoonful of soup per dumpling), the skin is soft and the meat is tender. Optimal time to feast on these soup dumplings is straight out the steamer. Tip: order a batch, and when you want a second batch (order again) this ensures the soup dumplings are hot and ready and the skin remains tender and moist. I also ordered their salty egg yolk fried shrimp, so good!! They are very generous with the egg yolk and the shrimp is big and crunchy. Sorry about the photos, we couldn't wait to eat and had to take a photo once we had a taste of the food. read more

Mr Bun - #9.Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A welcome addition to the neighborhood, especially since nearby Liu's is perennially overcrowded and mediocre as of late. I have been and will be returning time and time again for the great soup dumplings. The skin is quite thin and when picked up with tongs, you can see a shadow of the hidden broth sagging due to its weight. Perhaps Mr. Bun can achieve even more translucency but for the time being, the dumplings are fantastic. Rich and full of crabby sweetness, these are the things I dream of on a cold winter's night. However, where Mr. Bun excels in the soup dumplings, it seems to miss the mark in most other dishes. This is not to say they're terrible but they're also not memorable. The crispy noodles, shredded pork, mapo tofu, egg-fried shrimp, and bok choy were good but average. Their Shanghainese specialities such as stir-fried udon, drunken chicken, kao fu (advertised as Four Happiness Baked Bran), and glazed pork belly were lackluster as well. This was a great disappointment, especially since kao fu is one of my favorite dishes (this iteration lacked a strong savory presence to balance out its sweetness). The glazed pork belly was a little overcooked and tough. Having given the menu a fair chance, I've concluded that Mr. Bun's saving grace is the spectacular soup dumplings. Skip everything else. read more

Here's my tip of the day - DON'T order from Seamless or UberEats. Their prices are almost 100% inflated. Order directly from MenuSifu (https://order.mealkeyway.com/merchant/31587a385a487367674b7675524d7164712b523975773d3d/main). A noodle dish is like $8 cheaper vs. the other services. Anyway, onto the food. Ordered the crab meat and pork dumplings, scallion pancake, hot and sour soup, house special noodle soup, house special stir fried udon, and the fried pumpkin cakes. No, I did not eat all that by myself. I was with my folks. Mr. Bun delivers pretty far (about 2 miles to my parents' house). The food was pretty solid all around, and my only complaints were probably due to the distance it had to travel. The soup dumplings were just warm. The scallion pancakes weren't that crispy. But they were still good (the XLB especially). The hot and sour soup was more sour than hot, and didn't have as many goodies as some other places. The noodles are good, and come in pretty big portions. However, the house special noodle soup looked nothing like that photo on their menu (seen here - https://pixel.menusifu.com/31587a385a487367674b7675524d7164712b523975773d3d/48.jpg). Instead of a thicker stew, the broth I got was just thin and clear. I mean, I guess "house special" just gives them carte blanche to do whatever they want, but I was a little disappointed. Still ate it though. The house special udon was basically the same ingredients (chicken, shrimp, and veggies, mostly), but with different noodles. Also pretty good. If restaurants ever open up again, I'd go there to eat rather than ordering delivery. read more

I've been waiting for a decent Shanghai soup dumpling spot in Brooklyn for the longest ever. This has been long overdue. There is another soup dumpling restaurant in the Bensonhurst area, Liu Shanghai but every thing there is trash. I've gave them multiple chances but it doesn't pan out. Now back to Mr Bun, I'm so surprised when I first ordered their Pork Soup dumplings, skin was thin and soup was on point. What threw my mind the most was the pan fried buns!!! I've never had pan fried buns that had so much juice inside. It's simply a soup dumpling in a fried bun texture. It was so satisfying. What I recommend: * Soup dumplings * Pan fried buns What I would skip: *Any kind of fried noodles - tried their Lo mein, crispy fried noodle, and beef chow fun. They're all mediocre. If you had high expectations for these you will be disappointed. They're bland and dry. Been coming every weekend for those buns though . Now I don't have to hike all the way to manhattan to satisfy my cravings. read more

If you live in South Brooklyn and you're looking for some wonderful Dim Sum and delicious Shanghainese food, Mr. Bun is definitely a must-visit. I have tried nearly everything on the menu at one point or another and I have never been disappointed with anything. I usually go with the crab-pork soup dumplings, the sticky rice shumai, the scallion pancakes, the pork buns, and the bok choy as my staples. The pork buns by the way are wonderful and soupy, and if you haven't had Shanghainese style pork buns / bao, you've got to try it. In addition to the aforementioned staples, I also try a few new things each time. During my last trip, I tried their pork roll wrapped in a fried pancake, and the meatballs with house soy sauce, and holy... those meatballs! The flavor of both the meatballs and the sauce itself is so incredibly deep, rich and savory, I just couldn't get enough. It comes with a side of white rice, and you'll want to mix it in to soak up every last bite of that saucey goodness. read more

Oh my we dare to go back to try some their other stuffs on the menu: - beef noodle soup- noodle has no body. Way too soft. It was a disappointment no matter how much you like noodles. -shepherd purse- didn't know it comes with soup which picture didn't show. $7 for some tasteless purses. Its worthless. -crab soup dumplings- were the only thing that's tasty in our entire lunch. We still havent tried their fried rice yet so next time we'll try that as their soup dumplings only remain consistently delicious! read more

Amazing. Came across this spot on our own impromptu asian food tour deciding its not near complete without dumplings! Looked for the nearest spot for great dumplings, this was new and we were not dissapointed. First, the ode to One Piece, to anime in general, I love you all for it. This time almost more than any other we get to love and appreciate great anime. Onto the food, one bite into the crab soup dumpling and I decided that this was one of the best soup dumplings I have ever had and I will be here often. If that doesnt say 5 star taste, I don't know what does. The pork gyoza was also delicious, my wife had an issue with the consistency. I understood her review as it was a little, just a tad, over in terms of how much dough there was, it more or less matched the texture of the soup dumpling when it should be a little less chew. All in all, I loved this, and again, plan to be here often. Thank you! read more

Mediocre food and prices. Ordered their shanghai buns and although it was good but it's not worth it being that they only give 6 instead of 8. Also ordered the shredded pork rice noodle over soup and it had no flavor. This was the most disappointing bowl of noodle we ever had because we had to add chili sauce for some flavor. Overpriced and no value! read more

One of the best soup dumplings you'll get in NYC, probably the best in Brooklyn. While it's nice to eat soup dumplings in a restaurant, these soup dumplings tasted just as amazing at home. Each dumpling is overflowing with the most delicious pork broth. I usually just get the soup dumplings from here (what more could you want?) but the stir fry rice cakes were just as delicious and flavorful, having a perfect balance of rice cakes, sauce, meat, and veggies. The scallion pancakes weren't my favorite as I like thicker/chewier ones and these were rather thin and crispy. Just know that you can't go wrong with this place if you're craving soup dumplings! read more

Back to good!!! Best soup and pan fried dumplings around!! Food is consistent and does not disappoint,

Overall, good place for decent xiao long baos and home cooking flavored meals! Xiao long baos were good! Super thin skin filled with soupy meat. Didn't stand out much but compared to what is in the area, not bad at all. Personal favorites are the house special stir fry udon/rice cakes! They're loaded with ingredients (shrimp, napa cabbage, chicken/beef, red onion) and has a nice home cooked aroma to it. The sesame chicken was nice and thick white meat pieces! Not too heavily battered up. Also got the garlic bok choy and young chow fried rice which were very flavorful! Nothing spectacular but will return if I am ever craving a home cooked meal! read more

Stopped by for a quick and casual late lunch. The restaurant was completely empty but the two employees seemed very busy with takeout orders. My mom had her shopping cart with her and had to ask multiple times if she could leave it by the entrance. Then when we were seated, the waitress was dismissive and surly. She just handed us menus and rushed off without a work. Bad service aside, the food here is standard Shanghainese/Cantonese food. We had an order of the pork soup dumplings and the Fried Crispy noodles. Both were great. The soup dumplings had an umami soup and the fried crispy noodles were loaded with so many perfectly cooked shrimp. We had an enjoyable meal but the service was so lacking I probably wouldn't go back. read more

There are very few shanghai restaurants in 86th street, especially good ones but we were craving XLB and decided to come give this spot a try. The restaurant was pretty spacious, something that you would not be able to tell unless you go in. There is a pretty decent amount of seating without the cram which is great- overall it is a pretty well kept space! You place your order on the sheet of paper they give you that lists out all the menu items and you list out how many of what you would like to order. It felt a little confusing but you can ask them to confirm if what you did is correct and they'd verify what you placed so there's no miscommunication! We ordered a regular XLB and a crab meat XLB. Both were pretty good but they were kind of small in size. Each order comes with 6 pieces (specified on the menu) however I thought most give 8 pieces per order?Not sure but we also ordered rice cake and hot oil chicken. All the food came in a reasonable time and they all were pretty good. This would be another spot we will continue to go to! read more

Decent Shanghai food spot with good dumplings. We came by on a Friday evening and there was no wait for seating. For a group of 4, we got , 2 orders of their regular soup dumplings, the beef and tripe appetizer, pan fried buns, and fried rice cake. Their soup dumplings were not too fatty, but still juicy and very reasonably priced. The beef and tripe appetizer had a good kick to it. Panfried buns and rice cake were typical, nothing special. If you are in the area and are craving Shanghai food, stop by to get your fix! Your wallet and belly will thank you. read more

Came on a weekday for a late lunch and there were not too many people dining during that time. I was seated and quickly ordered as I was quite hungry. I always order one of the pork soup dumplings and another dish if there I am dining with another person. I was dining alone this time so I ordered an appetizer, pork dumplings (pan-fried.) The soup dumplings came out first and then the pan fired pork dumplings. The soup dumpling were pretty good, but not as good as the last time when I came. By the time I finished the soup dumplings I was already full so I just tried one of the pan fired dumplings. Those did not taste as good to me because I did not like the filling in it, the type of vegetable used was not to my liking. I ended up taking the rest to go home. Overall, I think this is a nice spot for Shanghainese cuisine if one is in the area and would go back again when I crave for it. read more

Came here on a weekend with my family for some soup dumplings. I read reviews here before going there and many said their noodle dishes weren't that good. Despite that fact, my family wanted to try the Shanghainese staple, stir-fried noodles, so we ordered that with the sticky rice dumplings, crab meat soup dumplings, regular soup dumplings, and scallion pancakes. Needlessly to say, the stir-fried noodles were such a letdown. It was flavorless, the chicken, the noodles, all tasted bland. Me or my mom could probably make a better tasting dish than them. The noodles were also undercooked, making it hard and not chewy. The sticky rice dumplings were also just mediocre. Thankfully, the soup dumplings and scallion pancakes were better tasting and worth going back for. However, the prices are similar to that of Manhattan prices since it only comes with 6 soup dumplings per order rather than 8. read more

So underrated imo - the food is delicious at a reasonable price. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor and plenty of open space. The service was quick and people were nice and attentive. The steam pork buns are a must and probably one of the best I've had in NYC. Hot and sour soup is okay, but not the best. read more

We come here or get their take out at least once a week. Their soup dumplings are the best in this area hands down- the wrapper is thin but not fragile, plenty of soup, and the free basket promotion is a really good deal. Not only do they have very good shanghainese dishes, they also have three cup chicken! I have not been able to find anywhere that served a decent three cup chicken in Brooklyn. The small green chili peppers with beef is actually spicy, which is also rare because spicy chinese dishes are hard to find in this area. One very negative criticism is their recent price increase. Several dishes, including the three cup chicken, had prices go up almost 20% with a seemingly smaller portion size. I love three cup chicken, but $18+ with tax and tip on a chicken dish is absolutely absurd. Because of this, I'll be coming less frequently and cook it at home or go to flushing instead. read more

I ordered lunch this morning and they forgot to put the rice inside the order. When I call back and the front desk said I have to give tips to the driver again if he resend the rice to us ! (Is just 7mins distance travelled ）We reject it and try to talk to the manager and the front desk said the manager is busy and they hang up on us. I mean if you don't want to keep the business and just shut down, it's not my fault for you guys forget to put the rice inside the order which I already paid. 早上叫了外卖，午餐少了一个饭，打了电话过去问他们说如果要司机送回给我们的话 我们需要再一次支付小费才送，不然只能下次补上，我们想和经理说，经理说很忙然后挂断了我们电话，我们再一次打电话回去 还是同样的态度，如果不想做生意的话。可以直接关闭了。收了钱忘记放菜品难道是客人的错吗？菜再好吃，这样的态度也不会再去了！ read more

2.5 stars Was so excited to see a new Shanghainese restaurant open up in the area but it ended up being a disappointment...We came here for lunch right when they opened so we got seated right away. Compared to traditional Shanghainese restaurants, this one is a bit more vibrant as the lights are bright and the walls are plastered with cute cartoon characters. Service was very nice and attentive. Pork soup dumplings- A lot of restaurants are guilty of serving frozen packaged soup dumplings but the ones here seem to be handmade. The skins were very thin but didn't break and the meat and soup inside was delectable Scallion pancake with sliced beef- The pancake was crispy but the inside was still cold...The sliced beef didn't taste authentic. It tasted like the prepackaged ones you get at your local Chinese supermarket Chicken udon- So on the menu this is listed as the "Shanghainese thick noodles" in Chinese but in English it's udon? Very confusing since they are 2 completely different things. Udon is Japanese! Well we decided to take a chance anyway and hoped that we would be served the thick noodles but nope, we got udon. Wasn't impressed by this dish at all and definitely something I could make at home for a fraction of the price I would say that aside from the soup dumplings, which were at most average, the food here was rather disappointing. We ended up paying $13 each after tax and tip and I left still feeling hungry. This place just opened up about 2 weeks ago so I was surprised they didn't have any grand opening promotions/discounts. Also I saw in another review that they would have free ice cream this week (the ONLY reason why I waited another week to come here) but we got no such thing :( Between Liu's Shanghai a few blocks away and Mr. Bun, I would say this place has the better soup dumplings but the other food is way better at Liu's Shanghai. read more
