    Pork Dumplings
    Kelly R.

    Based on take out service experience only. The camera ate first sorry! This was hands-down one of the best chicken sandwiches we've had in the city. We ordered the spicy chicken and dumplings. It was delicious and we would order again.

    First time at 3LP at Bridgeport location! Saw this place on TikTok and I'm glad I came in. The most popular items are their lemon pepper sandwich, bbq pork, and fried rice. We tried the bbq pork which was topped with a delicious house made glaze, the fried rice (mixed in bbq pork) and the fried teriyaki chicken. All came out hot and fresh. The inside is extremely small, so expect to have to take your food to-go, depending on how many diners they have at the time. If you do get to dine in, there's a few seats by the window and 2-3 large tables. I wish they had a location in the burbs, but it's somewhere I would drive to if I'm craving it.

    Lemon Pepper Chicken Box with Garlic Rice
    Felice B.

    The good, the bad, and the ugly. The good - The chicken pieces. Hot, crispy, fresh, and delicious. The bad - Everything else. Sides are complete non-starters. The salt and pepper crinkle cut fries are standard issue mid-grade frozen. That's not a big problem if they're properly cooked. These weren't. They were soggy and barely seasoned. The so-called Garlic Butter Rice was a misstep. The rice was dried out and slightly crunchy and the only butter this rice ever saw was if they were stacked next to each other on the back of a Sysco truck. All of this is especially off putting as we were the first customers of the day in the middle of the week. We disagreed on the signature Hot Pot Beef sandwich. Tasted by itself, the beef didn't have much flavor, nor did the jus provided on the side. All the taste came from the relatively small amount of giardinera on top and that flavor was HOT. Like blazingly hot to the exclusion of any other flavor. I couldn't be bothered to finish my half of the sandwich. My partner liked the beef but not enough to return for it. The ugly - The interior of the restaurant. Maybe it's a deliberate decor decision but the interior looks cheap and grimy. I might not mind so much if a truly meh lunch for 2 wasn't close to $40. Oh yeah, you order from a kiosk and they expect a tip, too.

    pork combo box

    I saw this on the infatuation and again I am disappointed. There is not a lot of seating and it is giving hole in the wall. There is very limited interaction with staff and their menu was cut back significantly. For $17 dollars, the char shiu pork was dry and didn't have much flavor outside of the sauce. The garlic rice tasted like really old unwashed rice with dried garlic bits on it. No garlic flavor at all. The only okay thing is the salt and pepper pork but it still was not the saving grace. It was giving an AI interpretation of chinese american food. I definitely would not get it again especially for $17.

    Orange chicken and Pineapple chicken box

    I was excited for first 3lp brick and mortar location to open up in my neighborhood. I had heard such great things and had really high expectations. I decided to try it out and I got the choose 2 box, orange chicken and sweet pineapple chicken. I was left disappointed. The serving size was just okay. The orange chicken was bland and it didn't taste like orange, or at least what orange chicken normally tastes like. The pineapple chicken was better and was sweet. Finally, the fried rice was just ok. It had too much garlic for my liking. Overall, the food was just ok. I would only return to try the sandwiches as most of the reviews on here talk about how great they are.

    Chicken Sandwich. Ask them to half it
    DaChon A.

    Loved the Chiken Sandwich. Comes with curly fries. Had the Lemonade. It was just right. However the STAR at this place is the pork. I strongly recommend Orange Chicken and Pork combo with garlic rice. Worth every penny. Met an owner. He was really cool to talk too. Next location to drop into is in Hyde Park. Gotta have the Spicy Chicken.

    Lemon pepper chicken, fried rice, spicy chicken sandwich, bbq pork
    Phuong N.

    TLDR: The spicy chicken sandwich CARRIED!!!! Would come back for this. Ngl i was a bit skeptical trying out this place after reading the reviews, but the spicy chicken sandwich was so good, I'd come back even if other teams didn't live up to the hype. Spicy chicken sandwich: 5/5, incredibly juicy, perfect amount of spice. Not a Nashville-style hot chicken, more like peppercorn/peppery. Spicy level was maybe 2/5 for me, which is easily enjoyable. Probably top 5 personal faves when it comes to hot chicken sandwich. Lemon pepper chicken: 4/5, also tasted great but I felt they were a little bit drier than the sandwich. Still great nonetheless! Bbq pork: 4/5, a mix between American style bbq (the wet sauce) and chasiu (the seasoning). My husband really enjoyed this. Personally, i think it's a great concept and tasted great, but it's just personal preference to keep it separate lol. Fried rice: 3.5/5, it was cooked "al dente" and flavor was good. Had that red chasiu color which we thought was interesting. Besides the color, this tasted very similar to any fried rice you get some a Chinese restaurant. Our friends however really enjoyed this. Fries: 1/5. Skip this lol. Tasted stale and under salt. Ketchup wasn't even available. Service: 5/5, food came out fairly quick.

    REAL TALK: I fell in LOVE with their 3 pigs design on their brown bag, so I knew I had to come here no matter what! I had read the story about the longtime loyal following of Chef Henry Cai, so I wanted to check out 3 Little Pigs, aka 3LP. This is also their first brick-and-mortar location, located in the Bridgeport 'hood. The menu is pretty extensive, offering various apps/sides, offer 'Boxes', Fried Chicken Sandwiches, Beef Sandwich, Burgers, wraps, noodles, salads, BBQ, fried rice, and drinks. I ordered: +Crab Rangoon - larger than normal, these come with 3 pieces and a side of their house sweet and sour sauce; the skin was a little thicker, and I wished these were crispier; regardless, the crab/cream cheese filling was generous and this was still a yummy app +the Original Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken Sandwich - deep-fried seasoned chicken topped with fried garlic, sauteed jalapenos, and original mayo, sandwiched between a brioche bun; the online menu stated it was served with a side of Chinese pickles in the description, but the item title stated it was served with fries (curly fries); this was pretty delicious! The chicken HUGE, and it was seasoned and cooked perfectly; the toppings, especially those sauteed jalapenos, made this so good; definitely can get messy with the mayo, but it was finger-licking good! +Veggie Fried Rice - prepared with peas, carrots, broccoli, white onions, green onions, beansprouts, and eggs; not sure if I was a fan of the flavors, but I'm thinking if I added some soy sauce and chili oil at home, it could be better? I'd like to try their Dry Chili Lemon Pepper Chicken, the Sweet & Sour Pineapple Chicken, the Shrimp Fried Rice, the Original Hot Pot Beef, and the OG Fat Head Henry Burger on the next visit! Order is done at one of the two kiosks that are available. The place is cozy and cute, and there's a handful of seating. I absolutely loved the decor and the mural on their building! Staff were super kind, friendly, and welcoming! Street parking can be found in the area. Definitely check this super local, small business out! +Original Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken Sandwich! +friendly & kind staff! +kiosk ordering +street parking available

MingHin was packed, loud, and a little chaotic. Worth it. Dim sum is an experience as much as a meal and MingHin delivers on both fronts. We ordered more than we could keep track of. Soup dumplings that immediately became the kids' personal obsession. Shu mai that hit every time. BBQ pork buns in every form they offered because obviously. Chinese broccoli to balance out the indulgence. Everything was solid, fresh, and exactly what you want from a dim sum spread. The room was packed and buzzing but the service kept up impressively. Servers were constantly circling, clearing empty plates and dishes without missing a beat. Clean and attentive even at full capacity, which is no small thing. Fair warning if you are bringing little ones: this environment is a lot. The noise, the crowd, the overwhelming parade of food arriving at the table. Our kids loved what they ate but the sensory experience was a bit much for them. This is a place better suited for a group of adventurous adults or older kids who thrive in high energy environments.

Some of my favorites are the dumplings, various rice dishes, chicken, lemongrass dishes, Mongolian beef, and other traditional offerings. This is a fantastic place for larger groups, and they're very accommodating when it comes to splitting checks. The food comes out quickly, the atmosphere is lively, and there's plenty of variety for everyone. If you're in the area near Joy Yee, MingHin is definitely worth a visit!

    This is a tough one. Not happy at all. With all of the wonderful legendary Chinese places closing…read moreover the past few years (Kow Kow, Hong Min, Pekin House, and even the best egg rolls at Mee Mah), Sun Wah has been solid over the years- their whole duck is legendary and incredible. BUT, as wonderful as the food is, the last 5 visits have been dreadful. The angry waitresses are part of the deal, but when we're spending a few hundred bucks on dinner, enough is enough. Asking for extra sauce and being told NO- asking for extra bao wrappers and being told NO, asking for extra daikon for the duck when we're given a half full dish in the first place in unacceptable. And like I said, that's part of the deal. And the food is so good that you put up with it. But what happened last week was the last straw. We ordered egg rolls, 2 large dumpling soups, pot stickers, a whole duck, medium ribs, sweet and sour chicken, and for an appetizer, a medium BBQ pork. When the server brought the pork, first, it was cold. I guess that's also the deal. Sometimes it's hot, sometimes totally cold. But this time, and I'm not exaggerating, more than half of the order was pure white fat. Not fatty pork, white solid fat. we tried chewing git to see if there was any meat, but no. So, I finally got the servers attention and showed her. She looked at it, and then walked away. I assumed she was going to bring us a new order. Instead, the owner walked over. I showed her the 2 plates- 1 plate with half of the solid white fat, and the other plate with chewed up fat pieces. Instead of apologizing and bringing over a new order, she said "sometimes the pigs we get are very fatty". So I replied something like "sure I get that, but you can't serve this to customers" and " can you please bring us a new order of actual pork and not just a plate of fat"??? and she then looks down at both plates and says "you already ate it so we can't do anything. I tell her that, no, I didn't eat anything- you can see a plate with chewed up and spit out fat, but she literally WALKS AWAY. So then of course we wait for her to bring a new order over, but that never happens. And we're loyal customers for many many years, and she knows us. This extreme lack of care for your longtime customers is nauseating. Like I said, we've put up with it for years because we love the food (as well as putting up with the many health code violations over the years), but after this huge fuck you from the owner over a few bucks worth of pork? We're done. And our friends are done. This rude pathetic refusal to admit that you're serving inedible food and take care of your loyal customers with a few dollars in pork will now cost you THOUSANDS of dollars every year, because we have now told 20 of our friends to stop going, and they all agreed with us. Bad move Momma SunWah..........

The Pork & Chive Dumplings tasted like something my mom would make at home. The broth they sit in adds a lot of flavor and makes the dish even better. My only nitpick is that I personally prefer a thicker, chewier dumpling wrapper. The Dan Dan Noodles were the standout. Creamy, nutty, crunchy from the peanuts, packed with flavor, and not overly spicy. It was my first time trying dan dan noodles and now I totally understand the hype. 8/10. The Xian Bing took about 25 minutes to come out, which makes sense since they're made fresh. The lamb filling was flavorful and the outside was super crispy, almost like a scallion pancake. The bread itself was softer and thicker than I expected and could've used a little more flavor. Overall, this felt like authentic, comforting food that leaves you completely satisfied when you walk out. Next time I'd absolutely order the Dan Dan Noodles again and try the beef noodles, scallion pancakes, and beef dumplings.
