    Picked up a chicken cutlet bento here and it was quite good. The chicken was tender and not super oily. The rice with the meat sauce was flavorful and delicious. Price is reasonable and portion size is big. Will definitely return to try their other offerings.

    Storefront - soft opening
    Caroline N.

    Welcome Yumpling to Midtown Manhattan! Today is the soft opening of Yumpling in Midtown Manhattan. This is their second store. First store is located in LIC. Yumpling created an eventbrite event to manage the audience since today is literally their 1st day of their soft opening. I was expecting it to be a little crazy though it was nicely managed. Employees were been trained while we were putting in our lunch order. I was craving their beef noodles even though their lu rou and dumplings were a must have. I put my order in the kiosks (there are 3), the cashier wasn't open today. I waited about 10 minutes for my order to be ready. There are a few kinks (timing between back of the house and when the order is ready) though I'm sure it will get worked out. There was a slight confusion when a name was called and 2 customers answered (though 1 customer jumped the food line unintentionally). The packaging is great... there is a separator from the soup and the dry ingredients so the noodles don't get water logged. Food is great and satisfying as the LIC location. Wondering if they have a screen so customers can check to see if the order is ready. So happy, Yumpling opened a location in Manhattan! Good Luck and Best Wishes! Can't wait to come back to try the other dishes.

    Best new fast casual option in Midtown at the second location of the Taiwanese spot with so many delicious menu items. Obviously get dumplings, but the Lu Rou Fan is also amazing and the Fried Chicken Sandwich is one of the best in town, Currently only open for lunch during the week, so take advantage if you have to work in Midtown.

    Super quick, friendly service with delicious food! One of the co-founders, Jeff, was behind the counter and had the best personality. We ordered the zhajiangmian, small order of Yumplings, and chicken Dan bing. The crispy chicken bian dang was phenomenal with the lu rou fan. I wish they gave slightly bigger portions of the sides. The pork and chive dumplings were bursting with flavor (highly highly recommend) but the chicken dumplings were lacking in flavor and texture. They also have canned drinks from Taiwan I'd recommend! The inside was well lit and spacious. Yumpling is a wonderful place for lunch!

    I finally made it to Yumpling Midtown!!! The new restaurant looks totally fantastic, beautifully and simply decorated and spacious! Chris has a small picture of their Red Yumpling food truck by the register, paying homage to their humble and amazing beginnings!! I plan to give them more photos I took of them when they were located at 1221 Ave of the Americas with their lunch line down the block!!!! The food is delicious as always! I tried the new 3 Cup Chicken, and it was yummy!! And my favorite Pork and Chive dumplings and Beef Noodle Bowl did not disappoint. I am so happy and proud of Yumpling and their expansion! Welcome back to the City Yumpling!! I will be back to both your LIC and Midtown locations!! Love you guys!! Cheers!!!!

    Hearty pork over rice cooking wine

    Came here for lunch on a Thursday. It was packed, but wait overall wasn't too bad as they are extremely efficient. Got the pork chop over rice. A bit on salty side, but still very tasty.

    Yumpling is a fantastic spot if you're craving authentic, freshly made dumplings. The dumplings are incredibly flavorful, with perfectly balanced fillings and wrappers that are tender yet hold together well. Whether you order them steamed, boiled, or pan-fried, you can tell they're made with care and quality ingredients. Beyond the dumplings, the menu has a great variety of classic comfort dishes, and everything feels very home-style and satisfying. The portions are generous for the price, making it a great value. The service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming--perfect for a quick meal or a relaxed dinner with friends. Overall, Yumpling is a must-visit if you love dumplings or want a reliable spot for delicious, comforting Chinese food. Highly recommend!

    Tried the pork chop over rice. The pork was tender and not dry, the stewed pork sauce was good and the proportions of all the components were very good.

    So, following months of wait... we are finally tasting some close to work authentic Taiwanese food! Once again, the good people (and hungry ones they are) at work and I gathered to embark on this culinary adventure. Dumplings.. er, sorry, YUMplings; I absolutely prefer the pork ones... it's, IMO, what they are SUPPOSED to be filled with and the chives just give them that touch of authenticity. The chicken and veggie ones aren't bad, but I simply prefer the OG pork ones. Now, the office was split on this. We need a tie breaker! The Pork Chop over rice, otherwise known as "Pai Gu Fan", tasted JUST like their counter parts in Asian neighborhoods in the outer boros. Served with a bit of their Lu Rou (seasoned mince meat + what I believe is preserved veggies) over your rice of choice, 1/2 a soy sauce egg and pickled veggies. Value; this is where they loose points. Out the door @ just under $16 for a rice dish is good value for midtown Manhattan... but, IMO, you fall short when you fail to satisfy a big boy's appetite. Say, you get their Yumpling Trio; yes, a very tasty treat (although some of my work pals didn't quite feel the thickness of their dumpling skin), the portion is insufficient for IT to be lunch at $21. The hours are (for he moment?) 11-3pm. Ordering food can be done via tablet. Food is prepared very swiftly.

    Very good Taiwanese food. Came here after a recc from a coworker, who compared it to the quality he's had in Flushing, so my expectations were high and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm originally from the bay and the flavor is exactly what I remember from the bento box places over there. Small seating area, and ordering is done from tablet kiosks against one of the walls. Food was fairly quick to come out. Definitely coming back.

    Popcorn chicken

    Very happy to see Yumpling opened a big location in Midtown. Bian Dang options on their menu are tasty and always satisfy my cravings. Popcorn chicken pieces are huge compared to what I'm used to from other places, so four is definitely a meal for me. Quick and easy ordering process -- Perfect Grab and go. Doesn't get too crowded during lunch hour but if it does, the line still moves fast. Please expand to the west side next!

    Food colored; I didn't find out until o brought it back. That's something that should have been disclosed for people that care about their livers. Very tasty and good service though. Pleasant atmosphere.

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

Everything is ordered via your phone using Toast Tab which was convenient since you didn't have to wait for your server.

We were guided toward the back, past white marble tables with beautiful mustard colored velvet chairs to the long countertop facing the open kitchen. We scanned QR codes to pull up the menu, and despite no omakase noodle offerings to be found, decided to stay because the menu options they did have sounded too good to pass up. Of course they had classic shio and miso ramens, but they also had a duck tsukumen, a red snapper ramen, a black truffle ramen, and the dish I set my sights on-- the uni mazemen. There were also lots of appetizers and a long list of high end onigiri featuring proteins like scallop lemon shio, A5 wagyu ponzu, and bluefin chutoro on offer. This place was the real deal. Our group shared the tebasaki wings-- so crispy and so flavorful, I could have inhaled a whole plate of these. The salmon, ikura, and apple appetizer that was served in a glass chalice was superb but even better was the bluefin tuna avocado sashimi with wasabi. That one was a winner across the board. And then my uni mazemen, which really stole the show. There was a very generous portion of uni that mixed with the savory sauce and al dente ramen noodles perfectly. This dish was rich, unctuous, and fresh and definitely delivered in value, though it was double the price of most other noodle bowls. Uni is a delicacy. Having just returned from a second trip to Japan I can say this place is really as good as any restaurant I visited in Japan, and it's right here in Murray Hill. These Murray Hill bros are lucky.

    After my first visit: This is my favorite ramen restaurant on the planet. It's my perfect…read morerestaurant - but not because of the ramen. Because of the desserts! First - Tonkotsu (pork) ramen was perfectly balanced. The broth was deeply flavorful but not heavy, almost like an 80/20 hybrid of tonkotsu and shoyu (soy sauce) ramen. Noodles were springy and not overcooked, and the roasted pork had a slightly smoky flavor and was flavorful itself, not just protein and texture like many other ramen joints. We also had the edamame appetizer - super flavorful and addictive, and we wound up ordering a second one (for our party of four) after devouring the first one. Now here's why it's my favorite ramen restaurant- my favorite dessert is banana pudding, and Tonchin's signature Tokyo banana dessert is an elevated banana pudding that makes magnolia bakery look like amateur hour. Plenty of fresh banana and a carmelized banana on the side with a balanced pudding that's not too heavy - this is peak banana pudding. So it has my favorite ramen and favorite dessert. But can it do better? Yes. It can also have...my second favorite dessert! Tonchin has excellent shave ice desserts that reminded me of Korean bingsu. We had the strawberry and it was fresh, bright and had lots of strawberry flavor. Delightful. Service was excellent and the ambiance of the space is dark and elevated. I liked this place so much I bought a hat.

I've had them before so I knew what to expect but it was way too salty, less flavorful. Had a very nice flavor, the salt overpowered it though. I tasted mushroom. The sauce stuck to the noodles well and the noodles were delicious. My daughter and husband ordered the spicy ramen and they said it was very very good. Couldn't decipher distinctly from other top notch ramen so it wasn't knock your socks off. From now on I'll order the base dish when I go places so I can judge better. The gyoza was cooked very nicely, came sizzling and the bun with meat was a little ugly, it looked boiled and unappetizing. The taste was just okay. The topping on it was notable. The waitress didn't help us at all when ordering. We weren't bowled over with the food, although it was noted the meat in the ramen was high level. It hit the spot but I will try other places in the search for our "return forever" ramen place.

The hostess and our various waiters (they all seem to assist all diners) were all very friendly and welcoming. We love to try new things so we had to check out the Little Alley Pig Ear appetizer, and I also wanted to try the Shanghai Crispy Eel. For entrees the husband ordered the Eight Delicacies in Chili Sauce and I got the Soft Shell Crab with Rice Cake. Pro tip- their appetizers and entrees are hefty, with two apps and two entrees we were stuffed at the end. The food! The pigs ears were our favorite thing we tried- they well seasoned and so unique I've never had anything quite like it. We didn't read the menu carefully and were surprised it was a cold dish- I imagined the crispy was from being fried but it's just the texture of the cartilage! It's probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed the new experience and the flavor and spice were great. The crispy eels were also tasty, though with such a large portion split between just two people I found the sweetness of the sauce a bit much. I started dipping them in the chili oil from the ears and enjoyed that, but I'd still only get the eel again with more than 2 people to split it. For entrees the 8 delicacies was tasty, all the meat was nicely cooked and tender, and the sauce was pleasant. I wasn't super wowed by this dish compared to some of the more interesting things we tried but it was a solid well-cooked entree. The fried soft shell crab over the rice cakes was delicious and again a very unique experience. I found the sauce a tad sweet but I think I was still a little over the eel dish so I may have been extra sensitive. That being said, it was fun and delicious and I'd eat it again! I can't remember the cocktails we bought, I know they were good but the food definitely distracted us! Little Alley was great overall and I'd love to go back to try some dumplings; sadly we were just too full at the end of the meal!
