Soup Dumpling Plus did NOT disappoint. Super homey, authentic vibe, quick service, and everything came out piping hot. The crab & pork soup dumplings stole the show -- 9.5/10. Juicy, rich, flavorful... I'd come back for those alone. Pork soup dumplings 8.2/10, roast pork fried rice 8.7/10, beef & broccoli 8.5/10, and pan-fried dumplings 7.5/10. Overall: 9/10. Came hungry, left happy, already thinking about those crab & pork dumplings.

Came here on a Friday night and only waited about 5-10 minutes before being seated! We were pleasantly surprised by how good everything was and left feeling very satisfied. The soup dumplings were delicious, juicy, and definitely worth ordering. The jellyfish appetizer was another pleasant surprise! It was served nice and cold with that satisfying crunchy snap with every bite. So refreshing! But the absolute highlights of the meal were the Kung Pao Chicken and Hot and Sour Soup! The Kung Pao Chicken was packed with flavor, with a delicious savory, spicy sauce, tender chicken, and crunchy peanuts. The Hot and Sour Soup was equally satisfying, with the perfect balance of tanginess and spice. We also ordered the fried rice, udon, and sautéed bok choy, which rounded out the meal nicely. Everything made for a great family-style feast!

Always enjoy going here, the food is always really good, the staff is attentive but it tends to get busy. Probably the best soup dumplings in the area!

Fast service , dish after dish was prepared delicious and hot. Our waiter was very attentive and check up on us frequently. A line but only 10mins wait time.

Chicken Pan Fried Udon Noodle had nice texture!

I had been to Soup Dumpling Plus previously but hadn't reviewed it. In the interim, my family had started dining at a competitor when the mood struck for Chinese food. (Every few months) My wife saw Soup Dumpling Plus and wanted to give it a try. We brought our daughter at around 6 pm on a Saturday and were seated after about a 20 minute wait. The restaurant is very popular, we got a comfortable booth, and the professional staff got right to work. During our wait, we had selected our choices on a paper, and upon seating gave the paper to the waitress. Soon thereafter, the food started landing. Obviously we spent dinner comparing every dish to the competitor. I would be splitting hairs to say there's much of a difference on many of the dishes. Pork buns and soup dumplings were both excellent. The vegetable fried rice was subtle and nicely prepared. I enjoyed the pork with celery and five spiced tofu entree, our daughter enjoyed the sesame chicken, and my wife liked the chicken with udon noodles. The only somewhat "miss" for us was the cucumber salad. Certainly not bad but the pieces were a bit large and that limited the flavor. Glad we gave it a try and we understand why it's very popular!

Considering the price, quality, and quanity, this resturant is one of the best soup dumpling restaurants in the area. It was pretty busy, and ordering off of a sheet made everything go faster. The soup dumplings had so much hot soup inside which is the best part of a dumpling. Even the pan fried ones were juicy and comforting. The udon with the chicken, mushroom, and bok choi with a touch of garlic was really tasty. The scallion pancake was made of crispy, light, addicting layers, and the green beans had a nice flavor and went well with the beef. Overall a nice place to take your family, for a good price as well.

- Parking is available in the downstairs lot for Fort Lee Plaza customers - We were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait when we arrived around 5:40p on a Saturday; there was plenty of seating available and the dining room felt clean, spacious, and comfortable, with tables spaced far enough apart for a relaxed meal - Service was friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our visit - The food was average overall, with a mix of hits and misses: the crab meat soup dumplings were filled with rich, flavorful broth, but the filling itself had a mushy texture; the crispy noodles with chicken came with an overwhelming amount of sauce and very few noodles, which quickly became soggy; the biggest disappointment was the cold jellyfish--it was bland and didn't taste particularly fresh; the standout dish was the beef with string beans, which had excellent flavor, tender beef, and perfectly cooked string beans

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.

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.

I've moved away, but I love coming here in groups. Because everything is shareable, we tend to over order, but we quickly realize that we always have room for more. Soup Dumpling Plus truly reminds me of home and I'm happy to be able to come back to it.

Celebrating our family! Our children are engaged! Got to meet our new family! From out of state!! Delicious food! Great company! Don't accept reservations. Street parking or parking lot available! Feed the meters!

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.

While I was eating my dinner, I heard some yelling going on and noticed a scene in front of me. The manager/owner was loudly berating his staff members in the dining area and threw his phone at the front desk counter. I think that is extremely unprofessional to do in front of staff and customers. If you have to have a serious conversation with your staff you should not be doing that in front of dining customers. That left a bad impression in me and I don't think I'll be coming back.

We came with a big party of 12, and they were very accommodating, splitting the table and taking separate orders for three families. Let's just say each family ordered plenty. I only wish I'd snapped pictures of what the other families got. We started with the Lucky Six soup dumplings. They came out extremely quick, with just the right amount of broth, and the wrappers weren't so delicate that you had to worry about puncturing them pulling them out of the steamer basket. They held up well and tasted excellent. From there we ordered a whole bunch more. Think family-style portions, but more generous: - **Grandma's braised pork belly** - Super tender, with a flavorful sauce and quail eggs, not too salty. - **Spicy beef and tripe** - Served cold with very thin slices in a nice spicy sauce. It had a kick but wasn't overly hot. - **Peking duck** - We ordered a half duck, and it came with more than enough bao buns to build your own. A nice touch: since we were a big table, they also offered each of the 12 of us a complimentary ready-made Peking duck bun or soup dumpling, including the other two families. We all went with the duck buns, and they were excellent. - **Pan-fried noodles with pork, shrimp and fish** - The one miss. It was so saucy that the noodles were drenched and lost all their crispiness. - **Yang Chow fried rice** - Very nicely done, with big shrimp. These weren't the usual quarter-sized ones, more like half-dollar size. - **Soy sauce squid** - Cooked perfectly, not too salty and not overcooked to the point of being gummy. I also sampled from the other families' tables. Their dim sum dumplings were huge, and the honey roast chicken wings were excellent, crispy with a nice sweet glaze. For dessert, they brought us complimentary sweet soy milk soup with glutinous rice balls. It was sweet but not overly so, and it was awesome. One thing that was new to me: when the bills came, we could pay with Zelle, Venmo or cash. Great spot for a big group. I'd come back just for the pork belly, the duck buns and the soup dumplings.

Plenty of room for a big family dinning!…read more Quick and delicious food. It also comes with complementary soup dumplings or Peking duck for each person.

The prawns were fantastic and very garlicky, just how we like it! The rice was pretty good and actually had a decent amount of seafood, but I found the shrimp to be the same quality you would get from a takeout Chinese restaurant. The rice was also on the more steamed side, less on the dry side. All in all, I thought the food was decent, but the service was amazing and the vibes were also a plus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I (loved everything I) ordered: - Pork Soup Dumplings: You get 6 dumplings, and they are served with black vinegar. The dumpling size is pretty decent, and the pork filling is seasoned well. - Mini Wonton in Chili Oil: You get 8 wontons, and by NO means are they "mini"! To me, they are regular sized. You can tell they are homemade - the wonton skin is delicate (not thick, but not thin) and holds up the chili oil really well. This is hands down my favorite version out of all the ones I've tried at other places - the reason being is that the wontons are not drowning in the chili oil. - Cucumber in Garlic Sauce: Goodness, this is my favorite version of this dish. The sauce is phenomenal, and the garlic gives it a nice kick/bite. I could just eat this and a bowl of rice, and call it a day. - Stir-Fried Shredded Pork w. Chinese Celery & Bean Curd: SO flavorful. The bean curd is firm and has a noodle like texture, so it holds up really well to the pork. I don't hate celery, but it's not my favorite green - in this dish though, I LOVE it lol. - Bok Choy w. Shitake Mushrooms: not salty and clean tasting. This is a great vegetable side dish. - Stir-Fried Beef Chow Fun: This was great! What really did it for me is that they actually incorporated scrambled eggs into the dish (and the eggs were nicely seasoned). I also loved the fact that instead of onion, they paired it with cabbage. I heart you.

I used to come here pretty often before COVID because it was one of the few Chinese restaurants…read morethat didn't serve takeout style Chinese food in Bergen county. So I was in the mood for some authentic Chinese and thought I'd check this place out again. The interior is nicer and more updated than it was back then but the food has fallen off dramatically. Me and my very hungry family of 4 ordered 6 dishes and each one fell well below my expectations. 1. Young chow fried rice: The rice and egg were seasoned well but the meat wasn't. My 9 year old even commented that the shrimp in it tasted like nothing. Overall probably the best dish we ordered flavor wise. The portion size is much smaller than before though but I chalk that up to every business basically giving you less for more nowadays. 2. String beans: A decent dish although it wasn't evenly seasoned. Some bean stalks were incredibly salty while others were perfect. It lacked the usual sauce that other Chinese restaurants usually pour onto the plate so they were pretty dry as well. Again the portion size was lacking to say the least. 3. Beef chow fun: Go to any Chinese restaurant in a Chinatown in a city and they all look basically the same dark brown color with large tender slices of beef. Here: light brown bordering on just slightly tan, under seasoned with small chewy or tough pieces of beef. They did add a bunch of mixed vegetables into it, which I appreciated but again, it lacked any flavor. The portion size for this was at least acceptable but definitely not to the size standards I'm used to from any Chinatown. 4. Sweet and sour pork: Originally I wanted the Peking pork chops which they used to make before COVID. I thought this would be an acceptable substitute, but I was very wrong. There was no crisp to the supposedly fried pork and although the sauce can soften the pork to a degree, that certainly was not the case here. It was either pre-made or re-heated and came out just kind of soft and soggy. The sauce was reminiscent of the kind of sauce you get at takeout Chinese or at those AYCE Chinese buffets. The portion size was good but nobody wanted to finish it. 5. Pork soup dumplings: This place used to have some of the best soup dumplings around. It is shocking how far down the quality has gone down on these. Although edible and more than enough to satiate my kids cravings, they are a far cry from what they were and what could be had from other restaurants in the vicinity. 6. Prawns w/walnuts: Without a doubt the worst dish of the meal. We were expecting the typical fried shrimp with walnuts with mayo sauce that we gotten here plenty of times pre-COVID. Now the shrimp looks like a typical battered shrimp technique similar to what you'd see at those kids stations at AYCE Chinese buffets and not the highly technical dish you'd find at any authentic Chinese restaurant. The sauce was also some sticky, drippy, yellow concoction and not the typical mayo based thick, white sauce. The broccoli garnish also tasted old, not cleaned properly, and bordering on raw when it is normally steamed and softened. It was so bad we barely touched it and had to tell the waitress about our disappointment in it. The thing that upsets me the most is the deception. All the most recent reviews on Yelp hyped this place up. The restaurant portrays itself as an authentic Chinese restaurant. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes, but this place is a Chinese takeout restaurant masquerading as a authentic Chinese restaurant. Honestly Chinese takeout would have been better than this place. Hopefully they can get their act together and improve the food before the real truth gets out.
