As weary travelers on the road nothing hit the spot better than quality soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), amazingly fresh green beans, some tasty fried rice and some pan fried dumplings. An oasis of flavor via take out in east Syracuse. The next day in Boston we still thought fondly of our road meal the night before. read more

Tried the jajang noodles and the pork buns. They were both delicious but the noodles had solidified before they got to the table. The buns were my favorite. We also tried the spicy cucumber salad and the edamame. Will be back! The service and restaurant have a good atmosphere. read more

Experience has been similar to my counterpart Cathrine N. The food quality is consistent, but the service is not. With the exception of the "Signature Lobster Noodle" where they provide lobster claws with no means of getting the meat out of the claws(for $60). We ordered six dishes; half my guests happened to be of Chinese origin- most Chinese do no prefer eating their food without rice- but they served the protein 5-10 minutes before the rice- no one started eating until they feared he protein would get cold - this is very unorthodox its almost like asking Americans to eat their food before the drinks arrived. They have a policy that is written on the menu- pay with cash and get a 5% discount (so they do not have to pay the credit card fee). I did the math; I paid with cash, deducted the 5%, then added another 10% to bring the waiter to a 15% tip. The waiter didnt get it, he started to complain that his tip wasn't good enough until I assertively explained to him that the tip added up esp. since he didnt give us the rice on time. I do not believe it is necessarily for the customer to be assertive- you are there for a good time not to argue. We might order takeout in the future, but we are going to sit down in there again. read more

After my family went a few times prior, I finally was able to go - and the wait was worth it! The food is fresh to order with efficient staff. I loved the pork buns, good amount of sauce. Sadly, the cold noodles, which are usually more peanut buttery, did not seem to have much. Unsure if they changed the recipe or if it was an off night, but they still tasted great! The potato pancakes were crispy and flavorful too. There's so much we did NOT try, which I will definitely have to come back for, and the prices were fair especially for sharing and divided up! Great place, doesn't feel crowded even though the decor is darker & of course, the amaizng smells read more

TL;DR: Highly recommended. Amazing food, wonderful service, and a pleasant ambiance. ***Ambiance*** I liked the ambiance of this place. The open and clean floor plan with well-separated tables was inviting. The dark wood paneling splashed with pink decorative plants created a pleasant mix of modern and traditional. ***Staff and Service*** Both the check-in staff and the server were friendly and polite. Despite it being a busy night, we were seated right away. It seemed that on that evening, they had more tables than servers, resulting in a delay for our server to stop by our table. However, she was very polite and friendly when she did. ***Drinks and Food*** They do not yet have an alcohol permit, so we didn't order any drinks. The food, however, was excellent. For appetizers, we ordered crab rangoon and fried chicken dumplings, which tasted amazing with the side of chili oil. For dinner, we ordered hot & spicy beef, diced chicken with potatoes and noodles, and ramen in miso broth with chicken. While the ramen was a standard fare for me and a bit bland, my tablemates loved it. The chicken with potatoes and noodles was a surprise dish for me, as it was flavorful with a really nice punchy flavor of cumin. The noodles, at the very bottom of the bowl, were completely soaked in the flavorful broth and tasted wonderful. The star of the evening was by far the hot & spicy beef. The beef was tender, and the broth was amazingly delicious. It was rich in flavor but not oily, with cabbages at the bottom adding a crunch and kimchi-like profile to the dish. Since my first visit, I have ordered it again as takeout and it has become my goto dish at this location. ***Overall*** It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely repeat. read more

I'm giving them a solid 3 stars. And only because the decor of this place is so beautiful and the beef scallion pancakes are the best scallion pancakes I've ever had!!! The dumplings were (sorry) mediocre. The ramen was flavorless and my cousin got the general tsos chicken (also flavorless). Sorry I never make bed reviews but this was disappointing. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Because the menu is huge and they have so much to offer. I would come back to try different items and the get those scallion pancakes again. read more

Saw this on yelp and was very happy that we went there. The food and selection thereof was grand. All food was hot and authentic we had both dim sum app and then a great fried rice dish read more

Ran out of noddles and lobster when there was someone eating it next to me? No noodles or something similar offered as a substitute? Their staff can't even speak English to communicate in the most basic form. Also the waitress insulted me by asking "it's too expensive, can you afford it?" I ain't no broke bitch, this is some old bullshit... never coming back here again read more

TL:DR: sometimes the second time is the charm. Our first visit here, based on friends' raving about the food, didn't match up to our expectations. I don't fault the chef, but rather our playing it safe on our choices. They were good, but really nothing stood out, no "wow" moment. On our second trip, we played it looser. The dumplings were a fine starter, and the crab ragoon, while typical, was good. I went out of my "usual" and ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen, which was a winner. An amazing creamy and spicy broth, perfect egg, amazingly tender (and not fatty) pork, and corn, because...because I don't know why, but sure. The deep fried chicken in chili sauce was worthy of a second round. It seemed to have a panko breadcrumb coating, and was way lighter and more enjoyable than 100% of the typical Americanized Chinese chicken dishes you usually find. Not much sauce, somewhat on the dry side, said my table mate, so that's my only critique of this dish. Dessert was an unexpected lagniappe of red bean paste cakes, which had a nice, springy texture and were still warm from the fryer. read more

I really like the decor inside and the food was pretty authentic and delicious! We had soup dumplings, one of the ramens, and then Taiwanese spicy beef noodle soup. Soup dumplings weren't the best I've ever had, but they were pretty good. Ramen was good and the spicy beef noodles were very spicy and delicious-definitely the standout (photo doesn't do it justice) read more

Mr Noodle and Ms Dumpling - Taiwan Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Courteous and helpful service and the food was delicious. Attractive decor and lots of seating.

First of all you walk into a lovely bar but they don't have liquor license since I'm a Coca-Cola lover I was undeterred. Place well decorated and kept clean the staff is kind and helpful. Plenty of parking so that's a plus. We ordered the pork crab soup dumplings and the marinated jelly fish as an appetizer they came out separately. The soup dumplings which came out first were well made and delicious. Just don't order the marinated jellyfish I've never had it before and I will try it again but this was hat so much that it hurt my teeth. The seafood rice entree came out first the fish in the rice was perfectly tender and full of flavor. My sweet and sour flounder came out about 5 minutes later and also was perfect prepared with delicious flavor . My criticism is have all appetizers come out together and have all entrees come out together it's unpleasant to have someone wait eat . read more

First time there for lunch. Wanted to order off the Lunch Menu, but was told that there was no lunch specials today because it was a holiday (MLK Jr Day). Not sure why. So my wife got the Pad Thai and I got Mongolian Beef, no soup. Mine was OK, nothing great. Got the bill and wife's was $14.99, and mine was $20.99. This was instead of paying 11.99 each, with soup, off the lunch menu. So the lesson is stay away on a holiday. read more

Mr. Noodle & Ms. Dumpling is a different Asian restaurant concept. This is a blend of cuisine throughout Asia, both authentic and Americanized. Some comes from Mr. Noodle's native Beijing, and some from Ms. Dumpling's home in Shanghai. The restaurant has a room in the back used for hotpot, complete with a burner to keep soup stock simmering on a table. They've also added a Japanese ramen menu. Chao Li and Jenny Chen, aka Mr Noodle & Mrs Dumpling, both admittedly don't know how to cook, but they know how to hire people who do. Fuqian Ni, the head chef, moved to Syracuse after years of cooking in New York's Chinatown. All four cooks in the kitchen came here with a specialty, and they know how to make everything from scratch. That includes the noodles in every bowl of soup or the lobster extravaganza. The wife and I absolutely love ethnic food, so this restaurant was on our list immediately when we heard about it. We joined with a couple friends for dinner on a Saturday about 6, and while it wasn't busy when we got there, it quickly filled up. We ordered several dishes to share. Pan fried pork dumplings, spring rolls, beef scallion pancake, grandma style braised pork, deep fried diced chicken in chili sauce & Mongolian beef. Everything was brought quickly, and everything was delicious. We really like the diced chicken in chili sauce, they were crispy and crunchy and the sauce wasn't thick, making the coating mushy. The sauce on the grandma pork was sweet and savory, and the pan fried dumplings were delicious, and that's coming from someone who considers Asian dumpling ones of my absolute favorite foods. Pricing comparable to other similar restaurants. My only complaint was service was a bit slow and not attentive enough with drinks, but as I said, it got very busy very quickly. We'll definitely be back. read more

I've been wanting to dine at this establishment since it opened and was encouraged to do so after purchasing a discount certificate. We arrived at 5:30 on a Sunday and this once bustling restaurant, according to reviews I've read, was fairly quiet. This used to be the restaurant, called the Storming Crab, and much of the nautical decor remains in evidence. To add an Asian flair to the ship ropes circling columns everywhere, the owners have added faux apple blossoms in and throughout creating a nice atmosphere. The place is very large and offers both tables and booths, but apparently lacks a liquor license as the bar is not in use. I didn't use the bathroom, but the restaurant was very clean. Upon arriving, We waited a few minutes while the hostess was on the phone with a take-out order, and after being seated at a table that was directly under a fan, we asked to be moved and were graciously accommodated. There were four of us dining, and the menu was quite large, and varied, though you won't find it online unless you open the takeout option. I started with hot and sour soup and the other diners had various dumplings. One of the appetizers arrived quite a while after the first three. I was told they were out of small bowls for my hot and sour soup so I was served a half of a serving in a large bowl, which was a very large serving. The hot and sour soup was excellent and generously portioned so much so that I was pretty full after consuming it. My main order was shrimp in garlic sauce. I knew I wanted a shrimp dish, but all other options were breaded and fried. Again, the serving was very large, contained lots of large shrimp, and was tasty and full of vegetables. The other diners really enjoyed their meals as well, especially my husband, who had a Ramen bowl which he said was excellent. Food here is is very good, servings are generous, and prices are good. We didn't order their featured dish, which has the levitating chopsticks as it was quite expensive. Our waitress was fairly attentive, and very pleasant. There aren't a lot of Chinese restaurants left in the area. My previous favorite had an abominable health inspection review, and I will never return to it as a result. In fact, I checked the health inspection review for this establishment, and it passed. This will become our go to eat-in Chinese restaurant. read more

Mr Noodle and Ms Dumpling - Shrimp in Garlic Sauce - Asian Fusion Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Had heard about this place and been wanting to try it for months and finally got the chance. Excellent dumplings. As the name of this restaurant implies - they're the star of the show. The soup dumplings were awesome as were the pork fried dumplings. Pad Thai was great, too. Nice atmosphere, clean, although it's much nicer inside than what it seems from the exterior. Service was good, not great. They weren't extremely busy but we still waited a long time for our meals and the entree came out before the appetizers which wasn't awesome. Overall a great experience. Next time get our apps out first and a little tighter service and it will be a 5 star review. read more

I will start this as I always do by saying that I don't give out five star unless I am really blown away. This place open about two months ago. I took the place of the Storming Crab. The ambiance is nice even though they kept the decor from the Storming Crab and made it their own. The dock posts are still there and the thick rope is still wrapped around them. They added a ton of fake pretty pink flowers to the tops of the posts that really brighten the place up and gives it a nice feel. They stained over all the wood in the place where everyone had wrote their names so you can still see them. I like that. We went to try and find ours but couldn't. Staff was quick to take our order and food came out quick. It was lunch on a Friday and there were a bunch of people eating so it was nice the food still came out fast. We ordered some crab Rangoons and pan fried pork buns to start. They were the best crab Rangoons we have had in this area. The pork buns were also very good, the bun was nice and fluffy while the pork filling was very tasty with the dumpling sauce. For entrees we got some chicken fried rice and general Taos. They give you a lot so please be ready when you order that you may want to share with the table. The General Taos was really good and not just breading with sauce. It had some kick to it as you could see the chilies right on the plate. I loved it. The Chicken Fried Rice was also good. I would have liked a few more veggies in it but other than that it was solid. Overall I was very happy with this dinning experience. I thought the prices were high when I first read the menu but once I saw how much you get and the quality of the food I was good with it. I strongly recommend giving this place a try if you like good quality food. This is better than P.F. Chang's and about the same prices. I will be back soon I suggest you come eat here too. read more

Delicious soup dumplings. A must stop when in the area. Food came out quick, and price for the food is worth it compared to quality.

I was so excited to try this place after all the good reviews I had seen. My friends and I went at lunch time on a Thursday afternoon around 1:00. It was not busy and we were seated right away. Because we wanted to try different things we got 4 different things to share. Beef scallion pancake, steamed fried soup dumplings, chicken lo mein, and seafood pineapple fried rice. All were excellent but my favorite was the beef scallion pancake. The menu is big and I can't wait to go again to try something else. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The ambiance was very pretty and soothing with the music playing low in the background. read more

Waited until the hype for this place died down a bit so the wait wouldn't be as long. A friend and I came in for lunch today around 1, waited maybe 5-7 minutes to be seated and then we were out of there by 2. Safe to say that coming here for lunch was a good call! Now for the food- 10/10 must get the pork soup dumplings! The broth was so flavorful I'd totally shotgun it if I could. My only suggestion is to give soup spoons instead of regular spoons if someone orders these. I got the General Tso's chicken, overall 8/10. Good slightly crunchy texture, good spice, I wish there was a little more flavor. Portion size was good enough for leftovers so that's a bonus. My friend got the chicken pad thai which was honestly lackluster. It lacked flavor and I think more chicken in it would've been better. I would not get this again. Overall I had a good experience and will definitely come back just for the pork soup dumplings. read more

2.5 stars We stumbled on this restaurant and stopped by for lunch. There were some parties standing by the hostess podium with no clear indication if the other folks had already put their name down. No acknowledgement from the lady at the front. Turns out everybody was waiting to put their name down so we all formed a queue and meanwhile parties after parties were coming in, with each face as surprised as the last. We were acknowledged maybe 15 minutes later and after that the seating was quick. I don't care about bad service if the food is good, but the food was eh-OK. Some other folks already reviewed the food took forever. Yup, it took over an hour and a half. I'm less concerned about that since they just opened and are probably still trying to get things sorted out. Hot and sour soup: it wasn't very hot (temperature and spice level) and it wasn't very sour. No thinly sliced pork in the soup. It was eh-OK. We got a large size and it wasn't very large either. This came out quick. Chicken lo mein: I order this dish at restaurants because my own stove doesn't get up to the high heat requires to make this dish tasty. They velvet the protein as expected, but there was an abundance of the cornstarch/baking soda during the process. You could really taste the mixture unfortunately. Noodles were mushy and not QQ. It was OK. Took over an hour to get this dish, which wouldn't have been an issue if it was phenomenal. Stir fry chicken with string bean: Again with the over abundance of starch, but this was probably the best one out of the three we ordered. String bean was a little bit limpy, but not too bad. Garlic sauce was coated on top and you couldn't taste the flavor infused in the veg. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but until then we will stick with the other Chinese restaurant nearby (the one with a color in its name). read more

For lunch I ordered a few dumplings and an appetizer. By far my favorite item was the pan-fried pork dumplings. They were the perfect size with a good amount of filling and delicious. I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit in ordering the scallion pancake with beef. I'd never had a scallion pancake rolled with a filling. Although not my favorite, the pancake itself was crispy and tasty. Overall an okay dining experience with a few areas to improve on. read more

I was not handed my entire pick-up order and had to drive all the way back to pick the rest of it up. Once I got back home for a second time, I opened up the rice to see I got plain white rice instead of fried. When I called, I was offered store credit instead of a refund. It was more difficult than it should have been, but eventually, I was refunded for the rice and the tip. Their menu is also misleading. GESO KARAAGE is supposed to be fried tentacles. Geso literally means squid tentacles. The menu itself even shows a picture of fried tentacles. I got served calamari rings instead, and the staff consistently insisted I was wrong. A little while later, Jenny reached out to me in a text message to offer a $20 gift card and apology for the negative experience. This would be the first apology I would actually get for all of the mistakes and difficulties I encountered. However, they also requested that I remove this review. I do not appreciate businesses trying to buy out negative reviews, but I will increase the rating because they did acknowledge my issues and attempt to rectify things. Overall, I appreciate the gift card because at least they tried. But it's not useful to me as I do not want to continue ordering from a place where I can not trust the menu or if I will get the items I paid for. read more

Went there expecting authentic soup dumplings. (Meaning soup inside the dumpling that is sucked out of the top with black vinegar then you eat the dumpling with the meat inside).

This place is delicious- everything was very fresh and flavorful, and the portions are very large so it is an excellent value. The server boxed the rest of our meals for us and was very attentive and friendly. They had piano music playing making it an upscale vibe, not too loud to interfere with conversations. We ordered pan fried chicken dumplings for appetizer, I had the Spicy Totonksu Ramen. You can really tell they make these dumplings and noodles fresh so I would not pass on ordering one of those! Definitely will be a regular here in the future. read more

Came here on a week night and it was not busy at all. We were sat right away. Service was nice. They have a full bar in the restaurant but they actually don't serve any alcohol at this time so that's the reason for the 4 stars as they have it advertised all over their restaurant but actually don't serve alcohol currently. Food was overall good and the menu had lots of options. We tried the steamed pork dumplings, this pancake thing, chicken lo main and ramen noodle bowl. read more

Thought this place was pretty good! It's large and they get you seated pretty quickly. We started with the Shanghai wontons. They had a lot of flavor and spice and were very tasty, but were not very warm. I'm big on hot food, and I'm sure they were better hot and fresh. I ordered the Sesame chicken and my partner ordered some spicy chicken dish. We thought the food was ok. Again, I prefer my food hot. The server was nice but a little slow on the service. We had to ask for water refills after he walked by about 4 times and didn't offer or check on us. He was very nice, but seemed more interested in talking to the table next to us. He was talking about his career aspirations and such which is great, but first step in a great career is excelling at entry level. I brought myself up from food service to 6 figures, and it's about giving 100%, no matter what you are doing. Pay attention to your tables, refill drinks, provide great service, and that will translate to all future career endeavors. read more
