Soup Dumplings Plus has some of the best soup dumplings in Jersey. They are packed with flavor, perfectly juicy, and honestly hard to stop eating. I have easily finished two trays myself in one sitting. The fried rice dishes are a nice surprise too. They are not greasy and not overly salty, which I really appreciate. The hot and sour soup is on point and rounds out the meal perfectly. Service is quick, with most dishes coming out within 5 to 10 minutes, making it a great spot when you want something fast and satisfying. Just be warned, it is very easy to overdo it here. read more

I went on the weekend with my family, and we must have come at the perfect time because while they were busy we were able to get a table pretty quickly like less than 10 mins. Table was cleaned and we were set up very quickly, the server came to us immediately and took our drink order pretty quickly. We started off with the scallion pancakes which were great! I realized we got a lot of food so I made a list of what we got and how good it was. Herbal chicken soup - fantastic (10 stars as a soup lover it was delicious and hearty) General Tso's - more on the sweet than spicy side which is my preference but may not be everyone's (very crispy and good in my opinion if you value texture over spice it was great -4/5 stars) Beef with scallion - my fam loves scallions so it was absolutely delish, and I tried some and thought so too! (5/5 stars) Eggplant in garlic sauce - delicious, was cooked very well, a perfect balance of spices and texture. (6/5 stars ** it was very very good ) Roast pork fried rice - SO SO good as is a staple of most Chinese places I think. (4.5/5) Shrimp pan fried noodles - I'm allergic to seafood so I didn't have it but it was good (4/5) OF COURSE THE SOUP DUMPLINGS: I'll give the soup dumplings a 4/5 they were good, I haven't had any in Jersey I usually go to NY for soup dumplings so I think it's pretty good for here. I think the service was very good, they were very kind, very attentive, now that could be because we ordered half the menu idk - but *I*** think it's SUCH a great place where you really get a bang for your buck. I also want to say the portion sizes are LARGE we definitely ended up taking things to go just because we didn't expect to order so much and for the portions to be so large. I think I may have forgotten another dish or two but overall the food is really really good. Only qualm really was just the size of the restaurant (which they can't really help) wasn't too big. The ambiance was very nice - though I think my party was unfortunately a bit more boisterous than the rest of the people around, it's family friendly so any one of all ages can come and enjoy something. Saw plenty of parents with strollers, elderly people, and everyone in between like my group. It's pretty good vibes. Big portions, great food, good people, good vibes! I have to come back here sometime! I usually go to Fort Lee for Korean food but I think I've found a new place to hit up when I'm in town. Lovely lovely place! read more

Is it possible/likely I have anything to say that hasn't been said? Nope. But still here to pile on. Soup Dumpling Plus is a gem. Great food served at mind-numbing speed in cozy surroundings. Food highlights? Everything- but a brief rundown: Chicken with Peanuts - life changing Scallion Pancake - don't sleep on this one Pan Fried Pork Dumpling - this is why you come here! Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling - this is why you come back!! Hot and Sour Soup - best version of this I've ever had Veggie Fried Rice - fantastic Sesame Chicken - need something to-go I've come here at lunch time a few times. Sometimes you have to wait. Sometimes you'll be seating right away. (I've heard dinner and on weekends your best bet is to come early or late). The service is fast and attentive. This is an easy 5/5 for me. read more

Finding the restaurant is a bit like a treasure hunt. Outdoor signage is limited, and there's no access door directly from the outside. Instead, you have to come inside a larger complex and turn right into two dark hallways before the space opens up to this nearly hidden restaurant space. Inside, the tables are fairly packed in, so when my husband and I came at peak lunch time on a Saturday, nearly every table was occupied with customers. When the space is full, the energy is lively without feeling frenetic. That's largely thanks to the efficiency of the servers here. Unlike most other restaurants, there isn't any one server assigned to a table, so there was always someone around to help if ever we needed something. It also seemed like someone came by with jugs of hot tea and ice water every five minutes, topping off our glasses as soon as we had a few sips. Plates are brought as soon as they're ready, which helps keep the food fresh and - depending on what you've ordered - the meal into more of a course-like affair. Our soup dumplings with pork were the first and fastest to arrive at our table, clocking in at a mere seven minute wait. Since the name strongly hints at their expertise, it's impossible not to order at least a basket. In fact, when you first sit down, they'll place small plates of ginger shreds as matter-of-factly as they put down water glasses because the presumption is that any one dining here is likely to have soup dumplings. I've had xiao long bao at quite a few spots across the city and Queens, and I found these to be excellent. The dumpling skin was on the thinner side without being so thin that the wrappers burst to soup spillage. There wasn't as much soup inside, but the taste was amazing. We loved the soup dumplings, but we might've liked the beef with string beans even better. The string beans were perfectly cooked with a generous amount of tender beef pieces. This was a conversation-halting entree for us as we both silently fought for last pieces. Our pan fried noodles came last, and I've typically found that this dish takes a little longer in most soup dumpling spots. A layer of crispy, deep-fried noodles are placed under a scalding meat sauce, so that it gently 'cooks' and softens at your table. This was a lighter sauce - both in flavor and in the amount of meat. We ordered one with chicken sauce and felt hard pressed to find the meat. That said, the overall dish was delicious and I loved the contrast of crunchy noodles with the hot, silky sauce. This was our first visit after several friends claimed it as one of their top spots for soup dumplings. Having visited, I can definitely see why. Street parking in the area is limited, but there are a few spots right outside. There are also two adjoining underground complexes with a few free spots in each. read more

Yes, I will definitely travel to Fort Lee again to eat here. There is a small parking garage that does not fit an SUV with a roof rack. We only waited 5 min on a Sunday at 1pm. By the time we finished there were 15 people outside waiting for a table. My kids might rank this as their favorite restaurant given the fast service. Before they could complain where the food was (usually starts 5 min after ordering), it was being brought out. I don't usually get udon but it was a great choice. Everyone was pleased with the food. read more

Small place with great character. We got to sit down quickly, even though they were busy. We ordered two different kinds of soup dumplings, spring rolls and a spicy chicken with peanuts dish. The food came out quickly and steaming hot (I like that). It was delicious. The service was very good, very efficient. Not expensive. Paid $40 without the tip. Can't wait to go back. read more

We came on a rainy Monday evening and the place was still pretty busy. The restaurant appears unassuming, but the food is excellent and authentic! The pork soup dumplings here have great flavor, the noodles in the pork noodle soup tasted like they were freshly made and the texture was fantastic (bouncy with a bit of a chew), and the sautéed bok choy dish was huge. The speed of which our order came out was astonishing. I don't know how they do it but it's very impressive. read more

Came to Soup Dumpling Plus and left seriously impressed. The place is clean, authentic, and the staff is so attentive--the kind of service that makes you want to come back just because they're kind. I ordered the fried rice with everything (all the meats) and the pork soup dumplings. The dumplings were 6 pieces, well-stuffed, and really hit the spot. The fried rice portion was HUGE--two people can easily share it, and I still had leftovers to take home. They also kept offering free tea, and I was able to enjoy plenty of ginger tea, which I loved. Total bill was about $22, which is honestly a steal for the area considering the portion sizes and quality. Also appreciated that street parking is free after 6pm. Highly recommend if you want comforting, authentic soup dumplings and great service. read more

I had been wanting to try out this place, as it was a favorite of my in-laws. We went at 4:15PM on a Friday because we like to avoid crowds, so it was very nice and quiet. Great place for comfort food with good prices. Soup dumpling were the highlight. - I love soup dumplings and I could have had just those and would have been happy. I always get pork soup dumplings because I can't taste the crab. We ordered an extra round, because I wanted more. Beef fried rice - good but typical Scallion Pancakes - typical Eggplant with Garlic sauce - typical Beef with chili pepper- other group members liked this, but it was way too spicy for me Beef Pan Fried Udon - Good All the dishes are a little greasy, typical of Chinese food and as expected. Again, great place for comfort food with good prices. Service was very nice. There is a parking lot, but it's small so you have to be lucky otherwise park on street. Usually I would order seafood, but the group wanted beef, so I went along. I would try seafood next time. Would definitely come back. read more

Some of the best Chinese I have ever had, amazing dumplings. The rice shu mai is amazing!

The soup dumplings here really hit the spot! The plaza has free parking, which is a nice bonus. Service was very quick. We were handed menus and an ordering sheet as soon as we walked in so we could mark down what we wanted. The food came out in under 10 minutes. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, crab and pork soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, and scallion pancake. The crab and pork soup dumplings were my favorite because they had the most flavor. I highly recommend trying them! The restaurant was clean, and the staff was attentive with water refills and keeping the table sauces stocked. I would love to come back and try more items on the menu. If you are craving an affordable and delicious dumpling meal, this is the place to go! read more

Located in Fort Lee, New Jersey, this restaurant is located inside a building that has other restaurants and businesses. Parking is available through the garage, which is located on the bottom floor or through street parking. We got really lucky because we came during the weekend and was able to find parking upon entering the garage. Thankfully, we got seated right away despite it being the weekend. After getting seated, menus were provided along with a paper and pencil to indicate which items we wanted to order. There was a little hiccup with an order we placed, which was the Beef with String Beans, but the staff took care of it right away. The soup dumplings' skin had the right amount of thickness and did't rip as easily when it was lifted from the basket. Everything tasted delicious and there were no complaints. If I'm in the area, I would probably come here again if I'm craving soup dumplings. read more

I came here for dinner on a busy night, and despite the crowd, our server was quick, attentive, and friendly. The food came out hot and fresh, and everything we ordered was delicious! The pan fried dumplings were definitely the highlight for us as they were perfectly crispy and flavorful. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. The chicken noodle soup was a bit on the bland side for me, but nothing a splash of soy sauce couldn't fix. Overall, great service, tasty food, and a place I'd love to come back to and try even more of their dumplings!! read more

So glad a local spot is getting the recognition it deserves!! We came on a weekday afternoon to avoid the weekend rush since there's usually a long wait then. Service was great, food was delicious as always. The soup dumplings - both pork and crab - are so delicious and flavorful. The pan fried buns are also perfectly juicy and pair great with the scallion pancake. Cucumber salad was good, maybe I'd have added a little chili crunch but very tasty still. A must try spot for good Chinese dim sum! read more

Fort Lee, NJ - super busy and chaotic on a weekend, and parking is a biatch. It actually kinda stresses me out to eat here, but if you can brave the crowds and the tight/hard to find parking spots (street or there is also a garage under the restaurant building), the Shanghaiese-Chinese food is authentic and delicious. Love the ease of the dim sum-style menu where you can check off the items you wish to order even as you're waiting to be seated, and hand it to the server the minute your table is ready, to ensure swift delivery of food to fill your already rumbling belly. The namesake soup dumplings are rightfully quite good though not the best I've had. I've enjoyed most things I've tried here so recommend being broad and adventurous in your pickings, and eschew the small selection of ordinary American-Chinese offerings you can get anywhere like beef with broccoli or General Tso's chicken. They turn over tables fast and are eager to get you in and out. The food is great but it's just not a relaxing dining experience unless you come at a slow time like weekdays during the day, hence 4 stars not 5. read more

Great soup dumplings. Can't complain. I wish they offered greater variety but they are solid soup dumplings. We also ordered pork buns because we saw 2 plates of them going out from the kitchen and they looked so good. And they were good! Gosh the pillowy soft buns! Carb heaven! The filling was great too. I ordered cucumber salad, and I was surprised to taste sweetness from sugar. They were not bad, but I wasn't too crazy about the sweetness. My friend ordered a lunch special of pork lomein. She enjoyed the hot and sour soup that same with it. The lomein isn't anything special. There are much better things to order. But that's what she wanted. Oh well. The service was great! There was a lunch rush around noon but we were taken care of. On waiter noticed my cup had been empty and refilled it and apologized. The manager came at the end to ask if everything was okay. We had no complaints! Solid Chinese food place. Just wish they had more dim sum dishes though. read more

I was hanging out with friends who live in North Jersey with access to a car, so naturally I asked if we could hit up some highly rated places in Fort Lee I had in my bookmarks, with Soup Dumpling Plus at the top of this list. While Soup Dumplings are Shanghainese, we were gobsmacked in the middle of Koreatown, so there's Korean hangul on the sign of the building, which looks like a nondescript mall of sorts. Inevitably there will be a line if you go on a weekend, but they run quite the efficient operation. We were handed a ticket with a number on it, which was called about 15 mins after we received it for our party of 4 during peak lunch time on a Saturday. We were guided to a table upstairs, handed a paper menu and pencil and asked to check off everything we wanted. This system is great and they made zero mistakes with our order. Of course we got an order of soup dumplings, and also vegetarian sticky rice dumplings for me, sauteed rice cakes, bok choy, and fried rice for the table. The food came out so fast and the flavors really hit. The prices seem completely fair and you're in and out of that place in the shortest time possible. This place must be printing cash, and they totally deserve it. If you love Chinese food, particularly soup dumplings and fried noodles, Soup Dumpling Plus will sprint around to have you fed in record time. Maybe I could get used to hanging out in jersey. read more

Soup Dumpling Plus is unbelievably good and deserves all of the hype. Every year they make the list of Yelp's Top 50 Places to Eat in North Jersey and I can absolutely see why! We ordered a few small plates and I would consider all of them must gets. The signature soup dumplings had the most sweet and flavorful broth. The pork buns were meaty and juicy. Beef scallion pancakes came stuffed with so much beef and the flavor was literally perfect. Sesame cucumber salad added the perfect amount of green and crunch to our sampling. We wanted to keep it light and didn't try any entrees, but everything that came out of the kitchen looked unreal. It's an unassuming spot in an indoor shopping plaza. Walk down a long hallway and you are transported into a bustling restaurant that hardly has any open seats during lunch time. Service is friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. I wish I lived closer! read more

We came on a weekday afternoon for a late lunch and there were only 1-2 other tables occupied so we were seated immediately. The food also came out quickly. We had the pork soup dumplings, crab and pork soup dumplings, seafood pork dumplings, marinated jellyfish, and scallion pancake. Both soup dumplings were amazing but the crab and pork soup dumplings were the clear favorite. My toddler preferred the scallion pancake and scarfed down most of it. The seafood pork dumplings were decent but pretty standard. Our tea/water was refilled frequently and service was good. Overall, was a great lunch stop and would come back if we were ever back in the area! read more

Soup Dumpling Plus was so good! We were in the area looking for a place to have lunch and decided to try Soup Dumpling Plus. I've had soup dumplings before in the area and this is by far the best place to get your XLB fix! They're located in a little plaza with free parking, if you're able to snag a spot, or can park on the street (meter parking). The staff is super nice & allowed us to bring our dog to eat here for lunch, which I appreciate!! What we ordered: -Crab + pork soup dumplings -Pork soup dumplings -Pan fried pork buns -hot & sour soup (part of lunch menu) -fried rice -beef lo mein -pan fried noodles Everything was really good! I really loved both soup dumplings. Surprisingly, the other food was delicious, as well. I typically don't like ordering anything from places that specialize in soup dumplings, other than soup dumplings, because I find that Shanghainese food is a bit on the blander side (also found this to be the case in Shanghai). However, all of the food was delicious and overall, I had an enjoyable lunch here at Soup Dumpling Plus! Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for yummy Shanghainese food! read more

After reading some of the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. They offer lunch specials Mondays through Fridays. We came on a weekend so that option was not available. Food came out pretty quickly. All the dishes were good. The appetizer tofu dish (called Four Happiness) was really good. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is on the second level, above the street level parking. Parking spaces are limited. read more

Its a small packed brightly lite place. We had the soup dumplings, the steam mushroom and veggie buns, pork pan fried buns, the chicken date soup and, beef roll, cold dishes tripe and cucumbers. I will put in the order of what I thought the best was that we had today: chicken date soup, beef roll, cucumbers, soup dumplings, pan fried buns, tripe and then mushroom buns. The soup to me was the best because it was so flavorful the chicken so tender and reminded me of being in flushing ny and getting the herbal chicken soup on a cold day, its comfort food. Will definitely come back again and trying other dishes. read more
