There is another Chinese restaurant right below, different type of food, not a soup dumpling place. Din Soup Dumplings is on top. I hate to give this place 3 stars. Takeout is 4 stars assuming your proximity to delivery or pick up allows you to eat straight away. Dining in however is just ok. The food: pork soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, peanut butter noodles, bok choi, and vegetable dumplings. I should know better than to order the thick green skin vegetable dumplings so I won't comment on them. Everything else was just ok. The reason I suspect was the volume of take out orders running through the kitchen and maybe just back luck on this meal. The food had cooled down by the time it reached our table, in contrast with hot takeout & delivery. I'll stick to takeout for now. read more

Food is pretty good. Noodles and dumplings are made fresh and you can tell the difference. Flavors for fried noodles are also excellent. However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work. read more

We stumbled upon this place when we had a couple hours to kill and wanted some dumplings. We had 2 of the soup dumplings (original and crab), and the crab's clearly superior. The dumplings are made on site, you can see the chefs working there. I like the string beans more than the dumplings lol. read more

Great tasting din soup dumplings! I came around lunch and it was busy. Luckily the turn around time for a table isn't a long wait. Their menu is pretty unique. I tried the wontons in spicy peanut sauce. It was different because I'm use to chili wontons. The spicy peanut sauce wasn't spicy. The peanut sauce itself is pretty thick, so I would recommend dipping it in the accompanying dipping sauce to balance the flavors. I would try the spicy peanut wontons again. I also tried the pork soup dumplings, which took some time to cook. It arrives very hot, so give it some time to cool off, maybe 5-10 minutes. The soup dumplings were mid, maybe I would try the truffle soup dumplings if I came back. I love how the dumplings are made in house read more

Finally stopped in to try these viral dumplings on top of a drink combo. Next time I'll skip paying more for a speciality drink and stick with Diet Coke because the Thai ice tea was not good, very milky and not sweet at all. The dumplings though... omg so tasty and juicy and flavorful! Took about 20 mins so go walk around the neighborhood a little. And definitely a very good portion size I was so full afterwards. read more

A colleague and I visited this location twice, once was a take out and the second was a dine-in experience. We were lucky to be seated during the busy lunch rush. Tried the stir fried noodles with shrimp which was a big portion for two people and tasted great. Also tried pan-fried veggie dumplings, veggie buns and mango tea latte which was great too.

Service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance of the restaurant was nice and lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's important to note my group of 3 had a reservation and good thing we did, we arrived and it was a packed house. However, as I entered I was able to glance over at the waitlist and the wait times weren't so bad. They provide a house sauce for dipping, make sure to ask for one small plate per person because it's so garlicky and good! Dumplings were what brought us in and though they weren't the best dumplings I've had (and I've had my fair share), they're definitely passable. Scallion pancakes were better with each bite. Mushroom bao buns were a pleasant surprise! Artistically they look great, looked to mimic like a wild mushroom but inside was sweet and juicy, the bun itself was fluffy. The chicken stir fry was the star of the show for me. We had ordered this as a table filler, but we kept going back to it between bites. The house recipe has a nice sweet and savory sauce, the chicken was juicy and cooked well, and the noodles were perfect texture. Call me biased but we were notified, "we cooked extra so there's a little more in your stir fry plate", haha and man I'm so glad they gave us extras! (I apologize the pictures aren't uploading, will get them posted when possible) read more

Beware... family of 5 (not a big party) I requested my receipt and they already included my tip without advising prior to service that this is their policy. Businesses cannot legally add a tip or automatic gratuity to your receipt without letting you know beforehand. I'm really funny about tipping I ALWAYS tip and I tip GOOD! and they cut themselves short because I was going to tip more than what they took. After researching and finding that this is against the law I will file a formal complaint with my local Department of Consumer Protection or state Attorney General. read more

I had such a nice time stopping by here for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I showed up, and I was shocked by how crowded it was. Despite it being packed by the door we were seated within about 15 minutes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered pork soup dumplings, wonton dumplings in spicy peanut sauce and vegetable lo mein. The soup dumplings were delicious. The peanut sauce wasn't too spicy, but very dry. The lo mein was tasty too. The main issue was we only got 5 soup dumplings instead of 6. We tried to wait to tell a server but it was so hard to find someone. Service was okay. It was difficult to flag down a server when we needed something despite it being such a small place. Also, they were out of so many things. No taro, out of certain sauces and out of the viral soda dumpling cups. However, the food was tasty, so I'd love to come back and give it another try. read more

Din Soup Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So happy to have a local soup dumpling place in the neighborhood. Din offers the perfect comfort food options on chillier days, or when feeling slightly under the weather. Wonton soup is brothy, steamy, and a cure all for any ailment. The pork soup dumplings are obviously a staple here and very well done with their explosively hot juices that delight. I've also ordered the peanut butter noodles and crispy chicken, which are perfect in being the surprisingly both sweet and savory dish that satisfies any craving you may walk in with. I've also had the pork steamed bun here which is a fluffy little cloud of joy for your taste buds. read more

After our candlelight concert, we were looking for a quick bite and stumbled upon this cozy soup dumpling spot right near St. Anne's Church in Downtown Brooklyn. We had seen great reviews--and the fact that they offered vegetarian options made it an easy yes for us. The place is small, cute, and inviting, and although it was almost full, we luckily got a table for two. We were super hungry, and while the servers were quite busy and it took a little time for someone to take our order, the food was absolutely worth the wait. We ordered the spring rolls, sautéed broccoli with garlic, and house vegetarian dumplings--and every dish impressed us. The dumplings were flavorful and comforting, the spring rolls were crisp and satisfying and and not at all oily, and the broccoli was a standout--lightly coated in a delicious sauce that elevated the whole dish. Both my husband and I really enjoyed everything we tried. They had a few more vegetarian options as well, but since this was just a quick stop before dinner, we kept it light. Still, we couldn't resist trying this place given the reviews--and we're so glad we did. Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu whenever we're in the area again! read more

We had lunch at Din Soup Dumplings in downtown Brooklyn, and what a wonderful meal! This is easily in the top three soup dumpling experiences I've ever had. We ordered two servings of the pork soup dumplings, and our whole family of five agreed they were fantastic--the broth was flavorful, the dough had the perfect thickness, and each dumpling was truly delightful. We also tried the Din Special Stir-Fry Noodles, the Chicken Stir-Fry Noodles, and the Peanut Thai Noodles. I had asked for wide rice noodles but received thick noodles instead--not a big deal, we still enjoyed everything, but I would have preferred the correct noodle. Flavor-wise, all our noodle dishes were enjoyable: not too salty, not too oily, and the portions were generous. The staff was attentive and bused our table throughout the meal, and the food came out quickly. It seemed like a popular spot with locals, which is always a good sign. One highlight was the dumpling-making counter--our kids loved watching the dumplings being made fresh on the spot. Food, service, and overall experience were excellent. If we lived closer, we'd be regulars for sure! read more

I hate to say the only thing I've tried from here has been their tiny finger dumplings with a choice of beverage on the bottom. After seeing a video on Instagram, I felt the need to check it out while killing some time and I was not disappointed. They give you probably 20 to 25 dumplings, the soda is crisp and the flavor of the dumplings is amazing. They are perfectly fried/seared on one side yet moist and chewy with a delicious filling. They don't even need a dipping sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a pretty small corner sized restaurant that always seems to be busy on the weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

What a ridiculous experience: Came in, ordered soup dumplings. Waiting 35m before asking about it. He came back and said they forgot, no apology, 5m. Ok fine. 5m came and went. 25 minutes later, it came. I had to get it to go, WHO EATS soup dumplings COLD and hrs later? STILL no apology, and totally apathetic. At this point I was obviously very stressed since now I'm late for work. So ridiculous. I was there over an hr, hungry, now stressed/upset/grouchy, with schlepping around with cold soup dumplings. read more

Super busy on the weekends, but great takeout! I tried the tiny buns with pork and the chicken cabbage dumplings. The buns were so juicy and flavorful, and the dumplings had a beautiful purple color and a good balance of meat and veggie. Tasty sauce as well. The order took a while to prepare, so definitely not an order and go kind of place, plan ahead! read more

Pretty solid Chinese spot with a variety of dim sum, dumplings, and noodle dishes. We came for weekday lunch when they offer a few lunch combo deals. We ordered the Pork Soup Dumplings (5pcs) and Scallion Pancakes (4pcs) for $10.95. We also ordered the Noodles with Scallion Peanut Sauce and Crispy Salt Chicken combo for $10.95 too. This is such a great deal for an affordable price feeding two of us. I enjoyed the variety that we got with these combos too. The scallion pancakes lacked some flavor, so definitely needed sauce with it. Also need some extra sauce for the noodles to give it more dimension. Otherwise, I wish the soup dumplings came with the chicken instead. Overall, great spot when you want some Chinese food. It's also cool that you can watch them make the soup dumplings. The space is clean and modern with a nice, casual vibe. I would return to try more of the dumplings and dim sum too. I like how the dumplings are colorful to easily indicate the flavor here --wish other places did it like this too. read more

I saw these soup dumplings on Tiktok and had to try them! For $12, you can get a whole bowl of mini dumplings (so cute!) + a soft drink.

Very yummy and I can see why it's hyped up! read more

Din Soup Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The contactless ordering is great if you're in a rush to eat and already know what you want. However, we had a question about the menu which delayed our order because it took a while to flag a server's attention. Once we did order, the food came out pretty fast. The pork soup dumplings (5 pieces) and scallion pancakes (4 slices) lunch special for $10.95 was a good deal. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of the scallion pancakes. The pork soup dumplings were decent. The black truffle and pork soup dumplings weren't as good. I also didn't like their sauce for the soup dumplings, it was sweeter than I would've preferred. It paired better with the scallion pancakes than the dumplings. The beef stir fried noodles were good, pretty standard. I would order it again. read more

This is one of our favorite places to get dim sum in the neighborhood. I am a vegetarian and there are plenty of great choices. My favorites are the mushroom bao buns and the sautéed green beans. The veggie dumplings and buns are great too. The service is quick, and you have the option to order from a QR code at the table. They bring the order out as it is ready. They have a waitlist on Yelp and it would be advised to use as they get busy on the weekends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ask to sit at the back when it's cold outside otherwise you get a lot of the air going through the door which can be pretty chilly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend this place! read more

If you're a big 小笼包 fan and also crave a fusion of dim sum, Shanghai (上海) style cold dishes, and Japanese favorites -- I know, it sounds like a culinary unicorn, right? But read on. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I'd do it all day, every day... and even in between meals. My only wish -- no, my dream -- is for them to open a location in West New York. This place deserves more visits and more reviews. Thank you STEVE! Will be back for sure Context: My wife and I met up with one of my old high school friends. He and his wife were thinking of moving to Brooklyn. We'd just moved here ourselves a little over two weeks ago, so the timing was perfect -- reconnecting with an old friend while also exploring a potential new home neighborhood with him. She's from Shanghai. I'm from Nanjing. Between the two of us, we've lived in over four countries and spent more than 25 years in the U.S., from Morrisville, NC to Dallas and Houston, to SoCal and NorCal. Translation: we know our Chinese food -- especially soup dumplings, aka 小笼包. Service & Staff: Steve took care of us with a level of grace and patience you don't always see (looking at you, certain spots in Flushing). He let us chat for the first 10-15 minutes without hovering. When we asked for two bowls to share the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, it was a no-hesitation "of course." When we wanted to split the bill in two and pay with CNP digital payments -- same thing. No fuss. No raised eyebrows. Just easy. Payment options? Pretty much anything short of barter. And here's the clincher -- at the end of the meal, they gave Häagen-Dazs ice cream to me, my wife, and my friend (who's of Indian heritage). That's the kind of hospitality you can't fake. Food: Pork Soup Dumplings: Packed to the brim with hot, flavorful broth -- the real 小笼包 deal. These were noticeably larger than most places I've been to. When my Shanghai-born wife takes a bite, pauses, and goes "mmmmm"... well, that's the equivalent of a Michelin star in our household. Takoyaki: Felt like a direct flight back to Osaka and Tokyo. Bang Bang Chicken 棒棒鸡: Flavor, texture, everything on point. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: I'm butchering the exact name (it's the second noodle dish after the Spicy Cumin Lamb), but the noodles had perfect bite, and the portion was generous enough to share. Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodle Soup: My friend's choice. He was floored. I tried a bite and -- no exaggeration -- it was on point. The bill? Around $60 total. Coming from the Bay Area, I'm still cost-conscious in this economy, but this was one of those rare moments where the quality, portion size, and price left me genuinely impressed. We left full, satisfied. Inside & Vibe: Plenty of space. Heads-up -- there's another restaurant downstairs, so make sure you head up to Din's. Lighting was spot-on, and as the evening went on, the ambiance seemed to shift in just the right way. Maybe it was the service, the company, or the food putting me in a good mood -- but isn't that exactly what good dining should do? Tables were spotless, and the whole place felt cared for. "That's the dream," as Barney Stinson would say in How I Met Your Mother. And yes, Barney had a lot of dreams. So do I. One of mine? For Din's to open near us. Until then, every trip to Brooklyn will include a stop here. Thank you, Steve. Thank you to the warm cashier. And thank you, Din's, for everything. Mwahhh read more

Great experience!! Stopped by since my friend saw this place on social media. Wasn't very busy on a Saturday ~2pm, only a few parties, so seated immediately. Almost missed the store as it's not street level (need to walk up a couple steps). Ordered the pork soup dumplings, pork + chive steamed dumplings. Wanted to get the green beans, but they were out, so in lieu we opted for peanut noodles instead. Very pleased with the amount of soup and flavor of the soup dumplings, dumpling skin wasn't too thick but also durable. Pork + chive dumplings were very good as well, tasty flavor. Peanut noodles were alright, mostly soy sauce rather peanut butter sauce. Knocked off a star since they didn't have green beans, and there wasn't as much peanut butter in the noodles. However, ladies in the back wrapping soup dumplings by hand, which was a testament of how tasty they were. Friendly staff, and great prices. Would definitely visit again solely for the steamed goods. read more

The BEST pan-fried pork buns at an underrated gem in Brooklyn Heights. If you like your SJB with a thinner wrapper and a crispy bottom, this is the spot. I admit I was super skeptical when my family suggested it--the restaurant's Chinese name is clearly trying to imitate Din Tai Fung lol. Plus, the menu is a mash-up of Shanghainese, Szechuanese, and Cantonese dishes, which usually screams "inauthentic". But I was so wrong. Their soup dumplings and pan-fried pork buns were mind-blowing, all freshly made in an open kitchen. Even the dessert blew me away. If you can't snag a reservation at Din Tai Fung, check out Din Soup Dumpling instead. It's more affordable and just as satisfying. ＊apan Fried Pork Bun 生煎包 $9/4pc, $12/6pc I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the BEST sheng jian bao in NYC. It's hard to find SJB with a thin wrapper, even when I was in Hong Kong. Each bun was packed with rich meat juice and wrapped in a thin, chewy skin. They were so good that we had to order another round ＊Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumpling 蟹粉小籠包 $12 These crab and pork xiaolongbao were juicy, and meaty. The dumpling wrapper was thin, making them less doughy than those at many other places. ＊Shrimp Stir Fried Thick Noodle 上海粗炒 $14.25 The shrimp was bouncy and fresh, but the noodles and overall flavor were just okay. Not particularly memorable. ＊House Vegetable Bun 素菜包 $7.5/2pcs My relatives raved about these veggie buns, but I didn't quite get it. The steamed buns were soft and fluffy, but the filling lacked flavor imo. ＊Sweet Osmanthus Rice Cake 桂花拉糕 $6 Next time, I'm saving more room for these! Infused with osmanthus syrup, the rice cakes were chewy and mochi-like. They were smaller than expected, but every bite was light and satisfying. ＊Peanut & Brown Sugar Mochi 紅糖麻糍 $7 Skippable. I wasn't a fan of the crumbly, nutty filling, and the "mochi" wasn't really mochi. It was more like a thin, pan-fried dough rolled up. read more

This is one of our favorite Dumpling shops in all of Brooklyn! The food is just sooooo good here! I feel like we have never had a bad experience! There is a variety of menu items you can try! I love every single item. It feels authentic! This place is not cheap. It's not a break the bank kind of place either but I feel like it's to note not to expect the same prices you would pay from a hole in the wall in Chinatown. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are typically very busy and as per usual for most Brooklyn restaurants it's not a huge area. Which means there may be a line when you go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I feel like the service is fast though! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also it's super cool there is a window you can look into the kitchen and see them making the dumplings! I always feel like that is a nice treat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Finally a soup dumplings spot in this neighborhood. I would recommend taking advantage of their lunch specials, especially the one that comes with soup dumplings and scallion pancakes. It's well worth it. The spicy cumin lamb stir fried noodles were good as well. I would recommend getting it less spicy if you can't handle it. There are also many types of dim sum here but I did not have a chance to try. Drinks to quench your thirst. Prices are reasonable and they even have workers wrapping dumplings right in view. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner and while busy, we were able to get a table around 6:30. By the time we were leaving, there was a wait for a table. For the 3 of us we ordered a bit too much food but we ordered the following: crab meat & pork soup dumplings, finger tiny buns which came with your choice of soda, tiny buns with pork, and thick din house special stir fried noodles which comes with all the meats and vegetables. Everything was delicious and I would definitely be back. The tiny buns with pork were nice and soupy on the inside and the crab meat & pork soup dumplings (which was our favorite) had a great crab meat flavor.

Hidden gem! I can't believe I didnt know about this place sooner. My friend and I got right in on a busy weeknight and the place was packed. We shared the pork soup dumplings which I absolutely loved with the sauce they served. We also shared the cucumbers, spicy tingly beef noodles (lomein), roasted pork buns, sticky rice shumai, pork and crab soup dumplings and scallion pancakes. We were stuffed and had leftovers but all in with taro and passion fruit bubble teas was about $100, really reasonable.
