This was my first visit. I just need a quick and tasty lunch. So I took a chance on 3 Times. It worked out. I must say the soup dumplings and noodles were delicious. My noodles had a good flavor along with a little bite. The service was excellent and ordering your food was easy. If you're in the area. GET SOME!!!!!!

Pork dumplings with chili oil

I ordered pork dumplings and they arrived completely raw! The scallion pancakes were greasy.

I came here for lunch. Food is ordered using a kiosk. I had chicken soup dumplings, spring rolls and iced lychee iced tea. The quick meal hit the spot. Small space to accommodate takeout and dining in options. Service was quick.

Wontons in chili sauce. Left feeling still hungry though it was good.

I went back for the dumplings/wontons. I had the pork/shrimp ones in chili sauce. It was good but I left still feeling hungry.

I wanted something filling and warm. I looked online and this location was close to work and I saw that it had great reviews. I reviewed the site online and the menu and ordered the small wonton soup and fried noodles with seafood. I easily paid online through the YELP app for pickup. The pickup time was quite quick and I immediately went over to pick it up. The location faces Water Street but there is work being done to the surrounding area so you have to really be observant of your surroundings to locate the restaurant. The restaurant is a bit small but adequate for dine in. The service is okay, no one really greeted me or ask me if I needed assistance. I had say excuse me twice to get their attention but my order was ready and I took it and left. The food was great the servings were large and the soup was nice mix of broth, seaweed, and wonton. It was warm and filling. It was also not salty. Which was so nice. So many times when I get wonton soup it's salty. The fried noodles were great but it only had shrimp and the description said seafood. I was expecting some additional types of seafood. All in all it was a really good meal

My partner and I stopped by the other day for dinner and really enjoyed the food. It was a rainy Sunday with a lot of people coming and going to pick up takeout (also quite a few dining in!). The Hong Kong style fried rice was my favorite, with the shrimp wontons in chili oil coming in close second. The rest of the food delicious as well. Service was friendly, but a little slow given how busy their takeout section was. Very understandable, given it's a small place and the food was great. Would return again!

Shanghai fried noodles with chicken & veggie spring rolls
Farrah B.

I was in the area for an event and stopped in for dinner before I went ahead period I usually go to other locations of this chain and this was my first visit to this period the staff was a little more like a fast food version and you order at the counter and wait for your food. The kitchen door is often open as it is the entrance to the restroom. It isn't as clear/clean as the other locations (there are viewing windows to watch noodle pulls). It was very oily, but the flavors were still there. Not the best, nor the worst.

A2. Crab SoupDump6! 5/5. IG: @amei.eats

(Overall: 85% | B) - The servers are nice and attentive and the place looks great and can fit a large group of people! Overall, pretty reasonably priced and decent quality Chinese food. (Garlic Chili Eggplant: 100% | A+) - The eggplant was the star of the meal! It was masterfully cooked such that it was tender on the inside and kept texture on the outside. It was well flavored with an addicting garlic chili sauce that wasn't too spicy that made this dish very desirable. (Sauteed Chinese Broccoli: 77.5% | C) - The Chinese broccoli was correctly cooked but boring and needed garlic and/or oyster sauce to lift the dish. (Chili Wontons: 95% | A) - The chili wontons surprised me in a good way -- they were meticulously prepared and presents itself as a delicate dish; the flavors had a natural balance -- it brought a nice saltiness without being too spicy that was pleasant overall. (Vegetarian Dumplings: 55% | F) - The vegetarian dumplings did not hit the same notes as the wontons unfortunately. There was a strange combination of flavors in the filling that made it very displeasing to consume. (Double Cooked Pork Belly - 65% | D) - The double cooked pork belly made little sense to me as the pork belly was very thin; cooking it twice simply reaffirmed that its overcooked and gave it poor texture despite it having good flavor development. (Shanghai Noodles - 90% | A) - The Shanghai noodles were good, as it hit all the flavor and nutritional components. The point of improvement here is the presentation, but it is very well priced. (Crab Roe XLB: 97.5% | A) - A soup dumpling with crab and topped with roe! The dumplings are delicately wrapped with an abundance of soup; the meat is very tender and pairs well with the dish; overall very good execution of the dish!

Braised beef soup
Rebekah W.

The person at the register was super attractive! The ambiance is neat and aesthetically pleasing. The food wasn't very good. I ordered chicken soup dumplings and the braised beef soup. I've had both of these dishes before at other places, so I did come in with some expectations. The soup dumplings didn't have much flavor, I added some hot sauce and it helped a little for flavor but no real spice. The braised beef soup was the most disappointing of the two. The beef was chewy and the cuts didn't look well cared for. I definitely wasn't expecting the best cuts of meat but many of the braised beef dishes that I've had (around the same price $17) included tender chunks of beef. This beef wasn't tender. The soup was salty as well, I couldn't finish it. The place was empty, but it was a warmer day so maybe people weren't looking for soup dumplings. Idk. I spent $31 on soup, dumplings and a drink.

Fried dumplings, soup dumplings, wontons in spicy chili oil (left to right)
Alex M.

Was craving some shanghainese last night so my partner and I decided to try a new spot in the neighborhood, and it did not disappoint! We wanted to try a little bit of everything (all looked good as we watched them make the orders), but stuck with soup dumplings, wontons in chili oil, fried dumplings, scallion pancakes and Shanghai noodles (and as much as we tried, couldn't finish it all!). I thought they were all winners (fav wontons), but I'd prob try a different noodle / rice next time. We walked in for pickup and they were super quick and friendly. Good to know there is another great option in the neighborhood for my dim sum cravings!

Andrew S.

This place looks basic, but there's nothing basic about their food. I was staying in the area and needed my fix. I had the steamed pork buns and spicy eggplant. It was just the perfect amount of food for one person, plus some leftover. May even be enough for two if you're not too hungry The pork buns arrived hot and tasted so gooooood! That first bite and pop of the bun is always the best. Eggplant has always been one of my favorite dishes, anywhere. This spicy eggplant was great too! Was great with the side of rice. Service was fast and friendly. I was pretty much in and out, but that's exactly what I wanted.

A Chinatown Must‑Visit for Dumpling Lovers…read more I was in New York on a work trip, and my colleague - a proud local - promised to take me to the best dumpling spot in Chinatown. Let me tell you, he did not exaggerate. This place absolutely delivered. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere hit me first: colorful, lively, buzzing with energy in the best way. It's hip without trying too hard, and everything felt clean and well‑kept. Service was lightning fast, too - dishes were coming out almost as quickly as we could order them. Now, the dumplings. Amazing. Truly some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and paired with a savory sauce that made every bite even better. Even the little dipping sauce was delicious. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. A couple of tips for anyone planning a visit: * They're cash‑only, so make sure you come prepared. * Reservations are encouraged - this place is clearly a go‑to spot, and for good reason. If you're in Chinatown and craving dumplings that actually live up to the hype, this restaurant is a must. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the city!

Some friends recommended this restaurant during a visit to China town…read more First, the service was so fast and efficient. We sat down, ordered and had the food delivered to the table within ten minutes or maybe even less. The soup dumplings were piping hot, huge, and incredibly flavorful. The broth is this interesting chicken stock color but was very juicy. The total for six was $9.75 which wasn't bad at all. The salt and pepper squid was very interesting. I liked the flavor and kept coming back to it. The breading wasn't heavy and fried scallions or garlic on top made the dish. As for the noodles with scallion oil, not too bad. The flavor wasn't too rich, just nice and subtle. I believe for all three dishes the total came out to $50 before tax. At this time, cash is the only accepted form of payment.

I've been to this place many times over the years, and I've always really liked it. I went back…read morerecently, and I was surprised to see the prices had gone way up. I know it's in a very busy area with a lot of tourists, so I won't really dock them on that. I got the Shanghai spring rolls and the pork soup dumplings, and both were very good. The soup dumplings were actually quite large, but the spring rolls are pretty small. Came out to over 20 bucks, which is reasonable but more than it was. A stirfry noodle dish is like $25 now! On that note, it's really nice inside and fun to sit at the "bar" and watch them make the dumplings. A great option if you're in the area and have a craving!

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office. I thought this spot would look like a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the space is actually decent with a full dining area. They do have a lunch menu, which is in the last page of the menu. Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.

They have individual tables that seat 2 to 4 and they still have the large round traditional tables for large parties or when the restaurant is full to capacity. If you have the chance to sit with other patrons at a large round table, just do it, especially if the other people at the table are Chinese. You can learn a lot and have a fun time. Of course you have to order the pork soup dumplings. They are the best that we've ever eaten. Served piping hot, you get 8 dumplings per serving. Put the dumpling on your spoon and make sure to poke a hole in the dumpling to let out some soup before you bite into it. Otherwise the soup will spray out into your face! My husband and I shared the chicken with black mushrooms and bamboo shoots (#71) and the vegetable lo mien. Both were served piping hot and were delicious. The rest rooms are downstairs, which may be a problem for some people, but the stairs are well-lit with handrails on both sides. The restrooms are modern and bright, but could use a good deep cleaning. I suspect that doesn't happen often enough because this restaurant is always very busy. We've eaten at other restaurants in Chinatown, but Joe's Shanghai is our favorite.

Anyways, regardless of all that, just talking food and drink, there was a decent wait even when everyone in our party was there. They will not seat you until everyone has arrived by the way. The drinks were limited from a variety standpoint so we just share lots of sake. Foot was pretty good but nothing to write home about. Personally do not think I would seek this place out, but if I happen to be in the area and I am hungry, I would. Also, shout out to Nelson our server who was super sweet.

The food was incredible and made super fresh to order. My favorite was the pan fried buns - they fry the top of the bun instead of the bottom with an amazing crisp. Hot soup is prone to gushing out of the bun, so consume with caution so you avoid burning your tongue. 100% recommend getting those pan fried buns. The soup dumplings were also good, but not as memorable as the pan fried buns (shengjianbao). They do the noodles pretty well as well - the only disappointment was the tofu crab sauce dish that I ordered. The tofu/sauce felt bland and lacked flavor. Despite that, the pan fried buns just rocked it outta the park for me so much I still say it's 5 stars in my book. The interior was also very comfy for dine in - they started using ipads for customers to order from - and the pictures helped a lot in the ordering process. Love the deals, love the flavors and price - especially in this part of town!

Pork soup dumplings: 3.5/5 these aren't bad. A little bland, strong msg taste. The vinegar improves it a lot. Pan fried soup buns: 3/5 just ok. Also strong msg flavor. The vinegar also helps with flavor. Pepper beef stir fry: 1.5/5 this has no beef flavor at all. It's so bland. It tastes only of soy sauce and oyster sauce. Basil chicken: 1.5/5 this is the same as the beef dish. It's hardly any discernible flavor. I don't taste the basil and it only tastes like soy sauce and oyster sauce. Crab roe noodles: 4/5 this saved the meal for me. Not the best crab noodles I've ever eaten but it's decent compared to everything else. This restaurant closes a little later than other Chinese restaurants around the area. Otherwise, I would have avoided.

There was a wait list to get seated when we arrived but the process was simple and moved quickly, and service was prompt and food came out quickly. We ordered both the standard pork XLB and my faves, the pork and crab ones, as well as pan fried pork dumplings which I was surprised to discover were also full of soup, chicken corn dumplings, and two noodle dishes: rice cake with pork & mustard greens, and pan fried noodles with beef. Servers were conscientious about allergies and very specific about letting us know which items were which, but other than that were largely appropriately hands off. They did ask us, mid-meal, if it would be ok if a service dog were at the next table to ours, which I thought was courteous. (The service dog was adorable and well behaved.) All the food was fab, which we expected. It's nice to come in a group and be able to order more items for a greater variety. The rookies executed well (and thanked us for the instructions on how to eat XLB to avoid getting soup everywhere) and were pleasantly surprised by my longtime favorite, the rice cake and mustard greens. I'll need to remember that the pan fried pork dumplings also have soup, because I really liked the texture of them. Such good food, and as always, better shared with friends.
