The best Dumplings I have ever tasted. A MUST in NY. 🗽🥟<br><br>Service is absolutely amazing and food is out of this world.<br><br>Our server, a 60yr Lady made it a great time. Give her a raise.

Food: 5/5. Great chili beef knife-cut noodle where noodle tastes fresh. Pork xiaolongbao was steamed fresh and juicy. The place has Michelin recommendations, but isn't on the Michelin guide FYI the store's exterior doesn't claim to be on the Michelin guide but it wasn't clear from the store signs.<br><br>Service: 4/5. Waiter tried too hard to upsell condiments for $3.<br><br>Atmosphere: 4/5. Plenty of seats and not much wait time

It was my first time here and I loved it. If you’re looking for great noodles, this is definitely the place to go. It’s easy to get to, conveniently located near the 42nd Street Bus Terminal. There’s plenty of seating, making it perfect for coming with friends or on a date. They also offer boba tea, both frozen and non-frozen. The service was great, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Tried the kung fu kitchen after a trip to the Statue of Liberty literally like a 15 minute walk ,but it’s definitely worth it. The food was amazing. The service was great and the place is nice and clean. Will definitely come back. Make sure you try the Xiao Long Bao which are the famous ones.

Absolutely amazing dinner! We ordered delivery to our hotel. Wow! Everything was beautiful packaged, almost like artwork! The food was hot and fresh. It came in a lined bag to stay hot even though there was a storm outside. The ramen was packaged separately from the soup so my bowl didn't get soggy. I can't wait for the summer when we take the kids back down to NYC--they will LOVE this food! Definitely going to have to go in person, though!!

Everything was delicious 🤤, portions generous and hand made noodles are amazing 🤩 is worth the wait. We waited 20 min to get seated. The have the coolest to go bags in New York. In general very good. Service can improve, nobody checked on us the entire evening.

Amazing service and incredible food! I highly recommend this place to anyone. The hand-pulled noodles were absolutely delicious, and the soup dumplings were to die for. The wonton soup was exquisite — packed with rich, flavorful broth. Everything was just amazing. Our server was also wonderful — attentive, friendly, and I couldn’t help but be a little jealous of his flawless skin

The food was so delicious! Our group happened to come across this hidden gem after exploring Times Square. Our server was very friendly and accommodating (even let me charge my phone while we dined).<br>The place was not too busy, and our food came out fast.<br>The noodles tasted fresh and very flavorful. Highly recommend!

This was the best Chinese food restaurant experience I have ever had. I got the pork soup dumplings and the shredded beef and peppers dish. Both were excellent. The shredded beef with peppers was wonderfully spicy but not overpowering. The service was good, quit and courteous. The food came within 10 minutes of ordering, with the pork soup buns coming a few minutes later. It was cool but also somehow strange to have 80s rock and roll playing in the soundtrack while eating the most amazing Chinese dishes. Come expecting excellent food but not a traditional Chinese ambience. It was not a negative, it was just a bit surprising

This was close to our hotel so we thought we would give it a go. It’s a no for us. Service was slow and not overly friendly. Restaurant shows its age and could use a good refresh. Front window is broken with a sign saying don’t touch. The appetizers were good, pan friend dumplings and scallion pancakes. The main dishes were very bland. Noodles were super chewy. There are better choices not far away.

My wife & I ordered their Ramen Soups! It was fantastic 😊. I love Soup Ramen’s & here was theirs authentic! We ordered their Hand made noodles (1 dollar extra cost). The soup is perfectly made & noodles are plenty served. Highly recommend this restaurant! Wifi is kinda slow but it didn’t spoil the mood!
