My strong proclivity for dumpling noodle soup continues as a predilection of Chinese comfort food as my cultural roots origin. When life is lackadaisical and you need an uplifting force or encouragement for catharsis to be resilient as an awakening, dumplings are summoned. It brings presence to every bite for awareness and genuine aliveness. My emotional pain cannot be disconnected for healing. As I sat in silence I checked my email waiting for my order fulfillment and arrival. This business is a local cafe, not quite a restaurant but very Asian specifically a medley of Chinese dumplings and heavy Japanese decor atmosphere. I was very bewildered of this dumpling business is Japanese or Chinese cuisine, or possibly both incorporated? Asian fusion? Japanese beckoning cat, maneki-neko 招き猫, is heavy presence for decor atmosphere throughout the entire cafe. There is one large Japanese beckoning cat with one paw raised in a beckoning gesture by the cash wrap register. This beckoning cat is adorable! The menu is very simple offerings but does not describe the contents in detail. It is not a extensive list as it is a cafe. The server/cashier advise to order first, sit to eat and pay last like a full service restaurant. This business has been listed in my Yelp bookmark to try for a long time. The slightly warm temperature has teased me to induce Spring Fever as the first full day post Daylight Saving Time, 2026 and I was outdoors for walk as exercise. Sauces and condiments are available at a station counter. There is one large TV. Background music is somewhat loud audible and sourced by Spotify. Customer service is average. There is one unisex facility on the premise and is relatively clean. There is a small parking lot in the front shared with neighboring businesses. This business is located in a small shopping complex named Metro Plaza. Chicken dumpling noodle soup, $12.00 The dumplings were pan seared fried, unfortunately not traditionally boiled especially for noodle soup. The dumplings are average. The noodles were rice vermicelli with half boiled egg and scallions in Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen soup base broth. The Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen soup base broth and half boiled egg is a replica of Japanese Ramen noodle soup. It was served piping hot. Chinese soup spoon Tangzhi ladle where the end is at a angle is provided with one disposable wooden chopstick as utensils. Jasmine Tea, cold $1.50 This was awful! It was one tea bag filled with ice. I did not taste the Jasmine aromatic flavor. Stay away from ordering any drink as Song Dumpling Cafe is good for dumplings. It is certainly no bubble tea business to obtain quality Chinese tea. After my MTA NYC Transit SBS Q52 bus ride, I walked from Woodhaven Boulevard moving east on Metropolitan Avenue to gain access. read more

Stopped by Song's Dumplings Café on a cold day looking for something warm and comforting and it delivered. The noodle soup hit exactly right, rich broth, freshly made noodles, and I lucked out with a soft-boiled egg that had a double yolk. Felt like a small win on a gray day. This is a quaint, no-frills spot where the food is clearly made to order. You can taste the care. The piggy buns with salted egg yolk are a must. They're cute, yes, but more importantly they're legit comfort food: soft, rich, and not overly sweet. read more

My husband hasn't been feeling well the past couple of weeks, and he had a strong craving for something warm and comforting. Specifically ramen or beef noodle soup. We decided to try Song Dumpling for the first time, and it did not disappoint. I can't say enough good things. The beef noodle soup was absolutely delicious. Rich, flavorful broth, tender beef, perfectly cooked noodles. It was exactly the kind of soul warming dish he needed. Every bite felt like it was made with care. We also got the curry dumplings, and they were spot on. Crisp on the outside, flavorful and aromatic on the inside. The kind of dish that makes you stop and go, Mmm, yes. It was comfort food elevated, and every detail felt thoughtfully prepared. Delivery was quick, everything arrived hot, and the portions were generous. We're so grateful to have a local spot like Song Dumpling here in Forest Hills. When food not only tastes amazing but also lifts someone's spirits, you know it's something special. We'll definitely be ordering again. Next time, maybe more dumplings! read more

I can see why customers would enjoy their fried dumplings, eaten by itself. However, it was freezing cold out after a snowstorm in NY, so I stopped by to dine alone and ordered the chicken dumpling noodle soup, to find that fried dumplings were thrown in a bowl of bland milky broth with noodles. The fried dumplings were soggy and no longer crispy, and the entire meal was pretty flavorless and disappointing. read more

I came back again after many years to try this unassuming dumpling place and I'm glad to report they are still pretty good. The store is tiny with a few seats and no frills but their dumplings pack a lot of flavor. I got their soup dumplings and wonton soup as well as a homemade iced citron tea drink. If you need to use your credit card you should let them know before you place your order. They take credit cards as well as Zelle. They prefer cash. The soup dumplings were a surprise. It's not bad. There was plenty of soup inside and the filling was flavorful. The wrapping was not as thin as some of the best but it wasn't bad. The wonton soup tasted like my mother's. The soup was a little thin but those wontons are legit. The citron tea was sweet and refreshing. read more

This place has like a fast food vibe going on. The staff is very nice, but it's just a weird little place. The pork noodle soup was really good. I ordered a bunch of different dumplings, including soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and other dumplings. All of the dumplings were good-not great. I would not go out of my way to come here for the dumplings. I may come back for the noodle soup with pork. read more

Please, please get rid of the fish being held in dirty inhumane tiny fish tanks in your line. They're obviously sick and sluggish and not cared for. The water is so cloudy and the fish barely move. It makes me not want to come back even when the food is so good. Just get rid of them and don't torture any more fish. read more

This is a fast casual spot. Your order at the counter and they'll bring your order out. I can hear with four others- two were children and the other two were adults. We shared everything and it was filling for us. When we entered the restaurant, our hunger level was--on a scale of 1-10-at a 6. The dumplings were great; we got veggie pan seared dumplings and pork and shrimp pan seared dumplings. The soups were mediocre and I don't recommend them. We ordered a beef noodle soup, and wonton soup without noodles. That said, the wonton in the soup was not bad. It's good for what it is, and if you're looking for more authentic Chinese food, head elsewhere. read more

We ordered soup dumplings, shumai and pan fried dumplings. The soup dumplings were okay-- the wrapping was very thin which I typically like, but they all broke as I tried to pick them up. The shumai tasted good, and I was pleasantly surprised by the pan fried dumplings. Not usually into BBQ beef dumplings, but the flavor along with the sweet dip was very nice! read more

Nothing to write home about. These are Chinese dumplings. People come and for momos. Momos are Tibetan. I ordered half spicy beef and half pork. They were ok. $14 for a plate is pricey.

Song Dumpling Cafe is not fancy. There are only a few tables for eating in (3) Most customers order and take home their food. The staff is pleasant enough . The main attraction is first and foremost the food! The food is wonderful! It's primarily a one room restaurant with the kitchen taking up half the space. Don't come expecting ambience or great service. Those are just afterthoughts. Come expecting great food. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm not satisfied because you have to pay delivery fee,service fee and other fee,the bill is too high that's expensive,not good,my first time and will be the last one read more

Been here many times over the past 5 years. Unfortunately, things are starting to degrade. Orders that normally take 10-15 minutes take 30 (even when they say '15 minutes'. They run out of ingredients and make unilateral substitutions. Fewer noodles in a noodle soup. read more

Song's Dumplings has some pretty solid dumplings. I wish that there were more options for steamed dumplings VS. pan-fried but it's NBD. I ordered the pan fried BBQ beef dumplings and wonton soup. Both items were really tasty and filling. The only reason I knocked off a star is because there wasn't much filling in the dumplings but I would still go back again. read more

It's a cute dumpling cafe. It is more take out place. You order at the counter, and the staff will bring the food. The wanton soup was yummy--white soup. Soup dumplings were missing soup to be called soup dumplings. Fried dumplings were thin skins but not too juicy. So, they were not bad but didn't impress us...sorry read more

Great spot for dumplings...all kinds of dumplings. Very simple place, very cute and cozy. Everything is made fresh while you wait and totally worth it!!!! read more

I think Song's is one of the best affordable options in the neighborhood. Per dollar, it packs a heavy punch. Highly recommend.

For a little hole in the all they make some of the best dumplings in queens. This place is a local treasure. If you have not tried them go now. Eric B. read more

I like Song's dumpling cafe but I have my doubts. There was no air conditioning, I didn't question why and there was also a giant fan providing lots of air circulation, all is good. You order at the counter and they bring you the food and you pay at the counter after you finish eating. I ate here alone because I have no friends and I ordered a few things I wanted to try. I had the BBQ beef, pork&shrimp, and soup dumplings. I also ordered a scallion pancake and taro milk tea. The dumplings were ok, all one biters. Not the best I had but not the worse. Which is pretty much the same rating for all the food here. Now my doubts, the soup dumplings immediately gave me a very familiar sensation as I picked it up with chopsticks, the way the chopsticks can grip the top of the soup dumpling. The taste as I placed the first one in my mouth, the way the soup bursts out of the dumpling, the flavor and the way the heat dissipates. It is all too familiar. This tastes like the frozen dumpling brand I have eaten for years, the shape, the size, the skin texture and filling, everything about it is exactly like the bag of dumplings from the chinese supermarket that I buy and consume monthly for so many years. read more

We enjoyed there dumpling and also had tea with our food song is only 10 mins from me and I'll eat here again

I feel like Song's is a little hidden gem! Scrolled through Uber eats and found this place when I was craving some steamed roast pork buns. Now Song's doesn't exactly have an extensive menu, but what they do, they do well. They offer different types of dumplings, buns, and shumai, as well as scallion pancakes. Everything was delicious! As other people mentioned the steamed buns could use a little more meat, but for the price, I was very happy. Pork/shrimp and Japanese chicken dumplings were very tasty. Looking forward to trying some other buns and dumplings in the future! read more

I drive by here all the time and figured I'd give it a try because I was craving dumplings. The atmosphere is nothing special but there's space for seating if you're the dine in type. I ordered the basil chicken & beef curry pan fried dumplings and beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup was delicious - I wasn't a big fan of the noodles but the flavor of the broth is really good. The dumplings were OK - I've had better. Overall the food was satisfying and I'd probably go back and try a few more things on their menu. read more

Song's Dumplings Café is a cute local spot for Chinese dumplings along this particular stretch of Metropolitan Avenue. The cafe's maneki-neko (lucky cat) themed decorations are adorable. Food: OK (2.5 of 5), could be better. Song's offers 10 flavors of its homely pan-fried dumplings, with a dozen dumplings for $9.99. We ordered a dozen pan-fried dumplings split between Pork and Shrimp; and Japanese Chicken. The former was OK, but the texture of the meat in the latter could have passed for fish. The dumplings were on the small side. We also ordered some steamed roast pork buns (three for $4.99), which were greasy and used a mince with bits, instead of chunks, of meat. The flavor of the buns is OK, but I hope Song's will consider including more meat. read more

Had a craving for some soup dumplings and searched it up on Uber eats and stumbled upon this gem! I ordered the Steamed Soup Dumplings and Pan Fried Beef and Curry Dumplings SOOOOOOOOO JUICY! The soup dumplings are smaller than the usual ones but still good for one bite- do wish it had a little more broth. The Pan Fried Beef and Curry Dumplings was packed with flavor and paired deliciously with the sweet dumpling sauce. I'm still drooling over it! read more

Came on a Friday night around 8 because a coworker wanted some dumplings. I live close by and have been meaning to try this place so I decided to order some soup dumplings and shumai as a snack. For $8 the soup dumplings were decent - there was a little bit of soup inside but a good amount of meat, the skin was a bit thick. Couldn't tell if they were homemade or store bought. The shumai were not the shumai you get at dimsum. For $11 these were just steamed wontons that lacked flavor - pretty disappointing. I also got a honey citron tea ($4) but it was also nothing special. So far not the best first experience as Memories of Shanghai offers better dimsum-esq dishes. I will be back to try their actual dumplings and noodles that people rave about. read more

Great dumplings. We like the beef curry dumplings, beef noodle soup, taro milk tea and egg custard buns. Can't go wrong with anything here!

Great soupy dumplings and dumplings. Recommend the beef bbq dumplings. Highly recommend.

I love dumplings. I especially love them here at Song's. I had half basil chicken and half pork & shrimp. I think the basil chicken had a great aroma, and the pork and shrimp just felt at right. The right food at the right time. Ahhh...it came with hoisin sauce and also soy sauce. Both very tasty condiments. I would return. It was a great experience. The lady at the counter was super nice. It was awesome! read more

This place is so cute! Their menu is a little different, but small enough to not be overwhelmed with selections. We had a long layover so we decided to uber/lyft (average $30 per ride). We ordered the scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, beef and curry dumplings, egg custard buns, and a matcha milk tea. The favorite sumpling by far were the soup dumplings. Perfect bite of soup and meat! They have soy sauce, Sriracha, black vinegar, and Chinese mustard as condiments. I was dissappointed they don't have chili oil. Overall, I'm jealous that I live so far away and don't have such a variety at home. read more
