Stopped by for lunch after spending the day at a nearby day spa. Ordered the sticky rice, chicken soup dumplings, Peking duck bao, and shrimp dumplings. While initially wifey was disappointed in the size of the shrimp dumplings and sticky rice, it worked that it was plenty of food. Everything was tasty. I really enjoyed the duck seeing as how I have not had it in a while. The chicken soup dumplings tasted great as well. Wifey enjoyed the shrimp dumplings and the sticky rice. Service was quick. We were seated right away and the place was not busy. Most likely would come back if in the area again.

~ Pan Fried Soup Dumplings (4pcs) $7.5 ~ [Rating: 1.75 / 5] The dumplings were served cold, and no soup inside the dumplings.... It was disappointing enough that we had to ask them to remake it. The second attempt was better; at least there was some soup. I don't particularly enjoy the thick dumpling skin, the bottom was crispy but too tough, and the meat filling was quite small. Overall, it neither looked nor tasted good. ~ Grandma's Pork Soup Dumplings (6pcs) $7.95 ~ [Rating: 2.75 / 5] The steamed soup dumplings were much better. They were served hot and filled with soup. However, the skin was too thick and sticky for my taste, and the meat filling ratio was small. - - - - - - - - - Will I be back? No For a restaurant that's well known for pan-fried soup dumplings, I'm really disappointed. Perhaps their stir-fry or noodle dishes are better, but I have no motivation to return and try them. In Manhattan, I prefer Steam for soup dumplings and Shanghai Time for pan-fried soup dumplings

It wasn't busy at all when I visited Baodega as a group of three on 7:45pm on Monday, so it was easy to get a table without a reservation. I ordered the spicy wontons in chili oil and the preserved cabbage and pork rice cakes. I was quite bewildered and disappointed by the spicy wontons, as they barely had any sauce, and the filling was dense and hard instead of being juicy and bouncy like a wonton should be. The little sauce it did have was quite flavorless and not spicy at all. The rice cakes were a bit better, but the pork was also quite hard. I felt like the dishes were not as hot as they should have been. Furthermore, we were still eating when they dragged a huge garbage bin by us, so the smell made the dining experience even more unpleasant. Would not recommend.

The service and atmosphere were fine, but unfortunately the food was average at best. The traditional pan fried soup dumpling was okay but I wouldn't consider any of the other dishes authentic at all.

Came here at 6pmish on a Tuesday and there was plenty of room for us. The menu included photos of every dish, which I appreciated. Service was quick, nice, and we received our food within about 10 minutes of ordering. The DanDan noodles were delish - the sauce was spicy, had plenty of pork, and the perfect balance of noodles. The wonton soup was good - it had 6 big wontons that tasted fresh. However, our favorite was the Grandma's Recipe Soup Dumplings - sooooo good Chewy outside, yummy broth, and rich, savory filling. Was less than $35 for all that, split amongst two people - we felt full and satisfied. Can't wait to come back, highly recommend for a quick delicious meal!

i thought the sheng jian bao (steamed pan-fried buns) and xiao long bao (soup dumplings) had quite flavorless fillings. the green beans and the roast pork bun were excellent though! service was really fast and they have a lot of seating inside

this is a casual spot with delicious eats. for a casual, affordable spot, it nails it and that's why it gets 5 stars. fast, friendly service and reasonable prices. I tried the pork bun and the steamed veggie dumplings. both were really good, and I forgot to take a photo of the dumplings because I was enjoying myself too much.

I really enjoyed my food here. I had the shrimp and pork shumai and the fried soup dumplings. They were exactly what I wanted. The staff here is friendly and helpful. I really like the space and how much seating there is even though it seems small from the outside. There are so many things I want to try on the menu, but honestly I will probably get what I had since it was so good. I recommend coming here!

Just came for dinner with a friend after hearing the hype. We got seated quickly. We ordered a bunch of dim sum and the Peking duck bao buns. Our favorite were the duck buns and the pork soup dumplings. The spicy cucumber were interesting. Lots of garlic and the pictures didn't show garlic. The spicy wontons in chili oil came with crushed peanuts and the pictures on menu didn't show it either. Good thing we didn't have peanut allergies. We also got the pork and shrimp shumai as well as the shrimp dumplings. These were ok. They also weren't steaming, but luke warm. Not sure if this was an off night but the food was just ok at best. I've had better dim sum and soup dumplings, but the duck was super good with the right amount of fat. Service was ok. I think there is just one waiter.

While service tends to not be the forte of Chinese restaurants *cough cough*, I did expect decent service from Baodega given its location, marketing, and price range, but was left deeply disappointed. First of all, I love that they have their own reservation system on their website. I was able to easily make a reservation for 3 at 12:30pm the day before. However upon arriving, the host did not greet us or try to make eye contact with us. He was running around trying to play the role of host, waiter, and busser all at once. While I do feel for him, I think this is ridiculous on the business's fault. It's apparent that after their Tiktok boom they NEED to hire another person to keep up with the demand and there is absolutely no excuse they can't find someone to hire in this economy. The host never asked if we had reservations and I could not get the chance to tell him because he would always be away from the front counter. When a table was finally ready for us, he merely pointed at it from far away to tell us to sit down. While I understand how much he has on his plate due to the circumstances, I did not appreciate his behavior and way of handling it. It takes only a second to greet someone and 10 to show them to their table. We ordered the Traditional Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumplings and Grandma's Pork Soup Dumplings. Both had very thick skin and not a lot of soup in it. The flavors of the fillings were good. I felt the skin of Grandma's Pork Soup Dumplings to have a weird odor to it, but couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. Needless to say, I wouldn't come again. The service was not great and the food was mediocre.

My Guh Guh (big bro in Mandarin) found this place on Tiktok, as they had a heart warming story and it is family owned and operated. Guh Guh is also the pickiest person when it comes to Chinese food as he is from Taiwan, so him saying it looks authentic was the only stamp of approval I needed to make the excursion to Flatiron. Guh Guh and I arrived at 2:30pm on a Saturday to a PACKED house. The Tiktok effect is so real. You could see the owner and his wife BUSTIN their ass in here, my boy was actually drenched in sweat. They were a little understaffed but it's all good that Tiktok had like 2.6 million likes in 2 days so... We ordered FEAST, as he is Guh Guh and I hadn't eaten all day so I was BIG Hungry... plus I wanted to impress Guh Guh and show him I could eat a lot! We could see the owner's wife handrolling the Bao (soup dumpling) through a glass window that peeks into the kitchen, so we centered our order around that. We ordered: Crab Roe and Pork Bao, Grandma's Pork Bao, Vege and Pork Spicy Dumplings, Peking Duck Burgers, Roast Pork Buns, Beef and Cucumbers, Dan Dan Noodle, and the Beef Dry Pot. Like I said, a FEAST. Big dogs gotta eat though........The waiter even chirped Guh Guh in Mandarin saying "You guys won't finish all that....." He learned the hard way not to mess with my Guh Guh! We DEMOLISHED everything. I mean it was 70/30 Guh Guh but still, I did okay. The food was PHENOMENAL. The Bao was actually the best I've had, and Guh Guh was obsessed and that man is hard to impress. The Dry Pot changed my life, as the vegetables and beef had the perfect amount of char that made them just a little crispy on every bite. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it now damn I loved that dry pot. My only complaint about this place was the name. "Baodega" just sounds like a cheap Chinese place that I would doordash on the way home after striking out at the local bar, and this place couldn't be further from that. But civil discourse is key to a functioning society, so fairplay. Creative differences. Guh Guh even texted me yesterday saying "DAMN THAT BAO PLACE WAS SO GOOD...WE GOTTA HIT IT AGAIN." That, my dear reader, is the highest compliment a Chinese restaurant in New York City can receive. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

A cozy spot with great food. We were in the area and decided to grab dinner here and it did not disappoint! The noodles in the braised beef noodle soup were amazing and they were very generous with the beef. However, the soup was just a bit too salty for me. The crab roe soup dumplings were delicious and very meaty. Service was good- they came quickly to take our orders. I really appreciated the pictures on the menu- you can see exactly how the dishes look.

I didn't realize I tried this place before years ago! It's a cute place and prices are still higher than usual. Tried more dim sum specialties and would say they do okay with it. Some other places do it better. The shrimp dumpling was smaller than I'm used to and the filling lacked flavor. The crab roe soup dumplings were just okay. Jellyfish was okay and had crunch. Roast pork bun can be skipped. Theirs is steamed, filling is less than other spots and mostly bread versus roast pork but at least they use some lean meat. The sticky rice with chicken wasn't bad. My favorite was the hot pot chicken noodle soup. The flavors in this dish were really good and I liked the noodle in this dish. Super flavorful, tons of chicken and vegetables. Great combination. Service was quick and friendly.

We happened to be in Flatiron, craving Asian food and stumbled across this place on yelp. The reviews and pics looked good, so we gave it a go. It did not disappoint. The place was cute and clean. We started w/ 1 order each of the pan fried, pork and chicken soup dumplings and ended up ordering 2 more of the pan fried ones. They were so good. We also ordered the cucumbers, scallion and bacon pancake, crystal shrimp steamed dumplings and braised beef noodle soup. All were pretty good as well. I loved that each person was set up with their own sauces, I hate sharing lol. They also have a really good chili oil, but have to ask for it. The server/owner(?) was really nice and answered all of our questions. He never once rushed us and was very attentive. He even took our picture for us, which turned out pretty good haha. I would definitely go back. read more

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the owner. He was the absolute SWEETEST and was SO good to us. The food was absolutely amazing and they were so quick to get it out to us! I got the fried dough, BBQ pork bun, and the shrimp and pork shiu mai. The fried dough was so chewy and soft at the same time and it was the best consistency. The BBQ pork bun had so much flavor--it wasn't too sweet nor was it too bland. The shrimp and pork shiu mai was so tender and chewy--it was wonderful!! I think I've found one of my new favorite dim sum spots! read more

The outdoor seating is beautiful. A ~must try~ is the pan fried soup dumplings (Shen Jian Bao). They were really juicy, and the flavor was so fresh and savory. We also got the crab/pork soup dumplings, were were delicious as well. The cold appetizers (cucumber salad and woodear mushroom salad) were tasty and tangy. The beef noodle soup was alright, not my favorite of the night. But the dumplings made it well worth the visit! Staff was really friendly and we got to talk to the owner about the food! read more

I really wanted to like this place, and I'm happy that people are going now. That being said, the food isn't the best. The flavor isn't bad but the preparation was sloppy. We ordered the pan fried soup dumplings and there was old cooked scallion on it along w fresh scallion which indicated that it had been cooked earlier then heated again. As a result, the outside was very dry. Also, there was a tiny amount of meat inside. Even something simple like the wood ear mushrooms felt like they had been sitting out for too long as it was dry and the temperature was too warm. I know the owners read the reviews, and I want to say that the taste is good but if they improve their food prep it will be so much better. read more

The interior is nice and the service is perfectly fine. But in terms of their namesake soup dumplings I gotta say I'm not sure I really enjoyed any part of it. We tried each variation and the soup was bland, the skin was pretty thick, I didn't taste any crab and the meat was dry despite the soup. I'm not sure why they're rated well, unless you've never had a soup dumpling before? If you're looking for good soup dumplings and can pick anywhere in the city I'd look elsewhere. If you're having a serious soup dumpling craving, either here or excellent dumpling is your only shot in the neighborhood though. Or if you want a nice quiet date spot and maybe just want to have a drink or coffee it has a nice atmosphere. read more

Stopped by here on a crisp fall day. They have a cute backyard with a few spread out tables- I sat here around noon on a weekday and had no wait. We ordered pork soup dumplings and the dry pot chicken. The dumplings were so fresh- I walked past one of the chefs making them as I walked in. The dough was just the right thickness, the soup filling was the perfect amount of savory, and the meat was flavored really well. What stood out for me the most was the dry pot chicken- the vegetables were extremely fresh (picked fresh from the market every day per the owner!), chicken was cooked to perfection, and the flavor was killer. Just the right amount of spice with a little bit of that numbing Szechuan chili sensation. The service was fast and attentive. The owner was extremely kind, telling us about the ingredients used to make these dishes. Definitely making this place one of my go-to's for pick up and delivery this winter. read more

Baodega is the only place on the East Coast I've found that has authentic Shanghainese pan fried soup dumplings. They are yeast leavened baos- super crispy bottoms, but... filled with soup like a soup dumplings. It's truly the best form of dumpling that exists- I grew up eating them all over shanghai and have been severely disappointed with the lack of them in the US. Several restaurants in Manhattan/Flushing have these on their menus- but none actually have soup/can accomplish the needed fine balance between porky soup/filling/fluffy Bao/crispy bottom. Highly encourage everyone to try these out- you won't find this perfection of a dumpling anywhere else in NYC. Eat them the same way you eat a soup dumpling- bite a small hole then slurp out the soup! read more

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - Koreatown

We've been to several different locations of Nan Xiang before and it is always a favorite. When we…read morediscovered the Koreatown Nan Xiang was right around the corner from our hotel this visit, we made it a priority to visit, and we brought friends who were new to soup dumplings (XLB). 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.

I'm being an overly harsh critic- this place is honestly great. The service was quick and…read moreattentive. It was a clean restaurant. The food quality and taste was amazing. Just a few things to pick on. 1) cucumber dish was good, but did feel it lacked a bit flavor and spice. Huge portion 2) wine cold chicken, felt like it was nothing special. Definitely had better elsewhere and prob wouldn't order again. Had food remorse and wish I ordered another cold dish 3) pork xiao long bao, soooo flavorful and juicy. Like I felt like I was having soup. I think the skin was a little too thick for my liking. Overall would definitely come back if I was in the area but would seek to come if it wasn't convenient.

The eggplant was 10/10; the eggplant was cooked well, so tender but not soggy. The sauce was really good too such that it was sufficient spice but not flaming. Would recommended. I enjoyed the cucumber salad and tofu as well, but have had better. Seasoning and prep were good though -- although the tofu was cooked so tender (or maybe was silken tofu to begin with) that the whole table was struggling with carrying it from plate to mouth -- heh. Food came out very quickly; staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Decent amount of seating with a cozy vibe. It was a good meal, not my favorite Szechuan spot, but definitely hit the spot.

I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place.

We visited twice, both times after 10 PM, and despite the notoriously long lines, the staff kept things moving efficiently. The wait looked intimidating at first, but the operation runs like a well-oiled machine, and once you get your food, you'll understand why so many people are willing to stand in line. The Spicy Rice Combo was out of this world. The flavors were bold, perfectly seasoned, and packed with just the right amount of heat. Every bite delivered that classic NYC halal cart experience but elevated to another level. The fries were equally impressive--crispy, fresh, and the perfect complement to the meal. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There's something special about grabbing incredible food late at night alongside locals, tourists, and food lovers all gathered for the same reason. The energy, the anticipation, and ultimately the food itself made for a memorable experience. Yes, the lines are long. Yes, it's late at night. And yes, it's 100% worth the wait.

This great restaurant is not far from our hotel, so it's very convenient. The staff are very enthusiastic. The food was delicious and the service was good. One disappointment, though, is that the restaurant doesn't seem to be able or willing to accept multiple credit CARDS at the same time as cash, and they say that in a large group (there are 14 of us), the restaurant is limited to one card. We managed to convince them, but because of time constraints, some of the group had to make it to brooklyn's pier 12 to board a transatlantic cruise, which was a bit frustrating. This is the only time I think British restaurants do better than American ones. Any restaurant in the UK can make such payments easily and efficiently. But otherwise, the lunch was delicious read more
