Great service with hot and comforting food made to order. Portions are large and prices are really good. They have a good lunch deal from $12 -$15 a dish and a soft drink. I got the stir fried rice noodles with shrimp. If you are wanting that NYC experience of finding a casual and hidden gem that provides really comforting and quality food, this is it. Menu is very large. read more

Came in for warm soup after the Macy's day parade. Appreciated that emperor dumpling was open on Thanksgiving, even though they were planning to close early. We only saw one person behind the counter tending to a very full restaurant until later when another gentleman from the back emerged. Despite being super busy and crowded, we were treated with patients and respect. We tried the duck with rice noodles and the Taiwanese beef with rice noodles. Both were delicious! I was really surprised by the generous portion of duck and could barely finish it. read more

This is a fast casual Chinese restaurant. They have a handful of seating tables inside and it is very clean. The food leans more towards American Chinese takeout food, but it is a step above those places in terms of freshness and cleanliness. The best deal here is their $12.99 lunch special. You choose a dish with white rice or fried rice, and you get a free drink (water or can of soda). There were eight choices when I stopped by, which included General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Curry Chicken, and more. My friend and I were impressed with the huge portion sizes. read more

The food hit the spot. Picked up food and took it back to the hotel, which was a mistake because I picked up soup dumplings. By the time I got back to the hotel, some of the soup had spilled out. Also got the Fried Pork Chop with fried rice. A good sized serving that I couldn't finish the whole dish. If you are looking for something close to a hotel, this would be a spot to hit up for a quick meal. read more

Chicken wasn't crunchy or fried at all, instead it was really soft. Just chewy and didn't enjoy it. Too expensive for poor quality food + a tip. I can find cheaper orange chicken that's a lot better. read more

Emperor Dumpling - Orange Chicken Over Rice - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

A solid fast Chinese-food option with generous portions. The lunch special is a great deal for an entree + rice + drink that is large enough for a second meal. I had the General Tso's chicken with fried rice and it was exactly what I expected - a guilty pleasure that hit the spot. read more

I'll call this one fast food fresh... The food is quick, but you don't sacrifice the flavor. I love that I can order frozen dumplings from this place and take them home with me. Everyone was super nice. It's not a sit down restaurant by any means but it's well worth grabbing dumplings from if you're in New York. read more

Stop by for some takeout with my husband during a weekend getaway, and we were not disappointed by the food one bit! We shared chicken dumplings and shrimp dumplings and they were so good that we didn't even get a picture of them lol. Can't wait to stop by again and try something new. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch to-go. We ordered 8 pork and chives dumplings ($9.85), as well as 8 of the house shrimp, pork, and mushroom dumplings ($11.35), and both were delicious! They both tasted authentic, and we inhaled them in about 10 minutes. We got them steamed since it would be faster but the pan-fried looked amazing as well. The sauces were a perfect match- the soy sauce mixed with vinegar and a hint of sugar brought out the flavors, and the chili oil added just the right kick. Service was fast and efficient, with a true New York vibe. There was only one server answering phones, taking walk-in orders, and bagging up orders, which got pretty hectic during peak lunch time. At one point, we heard the server say on the phone, "Can you please not talk so slow. I'm very busy," which was such a classic New Yorker moment. If you're looking for quick service and delicious dumplings, this is the spot! read more

Food is okay, not terrible, they have a reasonably priced lunch special. Comes with an entree, rice, and a canned drink (not many diet drink choices). My beef is that there was a hair in the food and they didn't really care, they weren't blatantly rude, and they replaced it, but that's it. Not particularly friendly or accommodating. read more

I picked up a quick lunch to go and it was really good. I got an 8 count order of steamed pork and chive dumplings and they were delicious. They served it with a vinegar sauce and chili oil. The meat was well seasoned and tender. Service was fast. Unfortunately their registers were down, so they could only take cash. Thankfully I had cash on me. This is a good place for solid and fast Chinese food. read more

The food was amazing and the staff provided excellent service. We ordered pork buns, which were soft and fluffy- very savory and succulent. Hot and sour soup was truly hot and sour- perfect balance. We also enjoyed their mango smoothie. Highly recommend!! read more

Small quiet spot. Ordered the shrimp rice noodles they were so flavorful. Quick service.

The best thing I can say is lots of food served quickly. Over suaced...weirdly flavored sauce. Completely tasteless noodles. Not for me.

Emperor Dumplings was awful. We got these because they are fried. They only fried on 1 side, so the dumplings were gummy on 3 sides. I asked the cashier to have the cook fry dumplings on all sides but she blew me off. I would not go back. Other food- sesame and orange chicken was just ok. Best thing is it was hot and made fresh. I have had much better. I think Panda Express is even better. read more

We were scouting restaurants for my daughter to eat while going to school in NY besides dorm food and we found this place, quite inexpensive and very tasty. We went on a weekday and it has lunch specials with drinks for $10. There is plenty of food for the price and it tasted excellent too. My daughter likes this place. It does have many dishes to choose from and we tried different dishes and they're all good. The lunch is packed very nicely and my daughter can eat lunch and dinner with the portions they give us. Quite an excellent place for students. The price is right, the food is good and plentiful, my daughter can't ask for more LOL and as parents, less dent to the bank. read more

Mid and not worth the price I ordered the pork ribs over rice and all of the ribs were practically all bone. The dumplings were good though.

On a super hot day and did some sake tasting so was craving for food. Staying by ACE hotel New York and found this dumpling place on yelp with good reviews. Ordered the 8 pieces shrimp dumplings and they don't disappoint. Freshly pan fried with crispy skin. Comes with vinegar and chili oil and I finished the whole box in 10 mins. Will be back to try the others. $13 for 8 pieces. read more

This seems like a step above the usual takeout place, with a narrow corridor with seated dining. The food is decently presented.

Been coming here for awhile Really upset that I paid AND tipped for a shrimp and broccoli and it only coming with 3 shrimps No where was it written that I'd be getting this much shrimp Service was fine, all he did was take my order and bag it up but this is the last straw for this place I hope others see it and don't waste their money read more

Dumplings not made in-house. It's just okay, reminded me of Panda Express quality. The dumplings were big but didn't have much flavor going on in them. Dumplings in miso soup was different but again, we had to doctor it up at the table ourselves. If you have to do it yourself to make something tastes good or better...it defeats the purpose of eating out. 3 stars is being generous. read more

New location 293 7th Ave. across from FIT. We were there on the third day they opened. Good pricing. Nice fresh ingredients. Crystal Shrimp Dumplings and Tuna Avocado Roll were quite good. The shop is clean, airy and has a nice feel. Service was working into the new location, but very attentive. If in the area and looking for a nice snack I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

I should have went somewhere else. Waste of $16 dollars for the roasted duck lunch special. The pieces were mostly bone and unless you want to swallow a small piece of bone you really have to pick at it with your hands. Please give more pieces with meat. I didn't even want to finish my meal and left. read more

Emperor Dumpling - Roasted duck mostly bone - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered the egg drop soup and I have never seen something like it, it wasn't yellow it did not taste like I dropped so it was like water down soup with seaweed. Additionally, the chicken and broccoli was drenched in sauce to the point where it looked like it was just swimming in it. I will say that the fried rice was pretty good along with the pork bun, but nothing too rave about. Overall, I was really disappointed with this place and was under the impression that the 4 1/2 stars was tell sign of the food :( we left hungry barely ate the chicken and broccoli and soup. read more

The food was very good and the service was extremely fast. It was very soothing and the chatter gave a true new york city takeout felling.

Emperor Dumpling could also be named Dumpling Heaven! I dined here for a low key dinner with a friend after work tonight and has a wonderful experience! My friend is pescatarian so we tried the delicious fish and vegetarian options on the menu, but I will *definitely* be back for the pork fried pork and celery dumplings (they smelled SO good) and the beef noodles which also looked really good at the table next to me. I was drooling so much that my friend said she wouldn't mind if I ate the beef in front of her- but I was honestly so full from the generous portion sizes, I didn't have any room left! Which is why I will come back for peach bubble tea and the beef pan fried noodles and pork dumplings. Okay enough planning the next meal, back to what we actually ate LOL It's named Emperor Dumpling so of course we had to start with ! Both orders (steamed shrimp Dumplings and pan fried vegetable dumpling) arrived hot and steaming! Perks of a smaller restaurant. The pan fried vegetable dumplings were SO delicious! Perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful and soft on the inside. The kind owner said they are made in house each day, and they have 10 different types of vegetables inside. Super tasty! I am sorry to have eaten them too quickly to take a picture of the inside! We also had the steamed shrimp dumplings which arrived steaming with two sauces- the spicy one was especially tasty! Just make sure you mix it before eating! Also saw the house pan fried shrimp pork mushroom dumplings- and I am coming back for them and the pan fried pork and celery dumplings! These dim sum taste really fresh and clearly homemade. I asked anyway to confirm, and the very polite owner - very Confucius like himself said that all of the dumplings are homemade on site except for the non house shrimp dumplings. Next we had the salmon teriyaki with steam white rice $12.95 It was a generous portion of salmon and came with bok choy as well as white rice. Very tasty teriyaki sauce, the salmon was well cooked and well seasoned. The other half will be my lunch tomorrow!!! $12.95 is a very reasonable price for this large portion, and I would DEFINITELY recommend for a lunch choice. We also had the pan fried vegetable lo mein noodles which were super tasty. Again a very generous portion of both noodles and vegetables. It was very clearly made with fresh vegetables and not frozen ones like I see in many lo mein and fried rice dishes these days. I think it makes all the difference to use fresh veggies, which is why I will definitely be coming back to Emperor Dumpling. It was also reasonably priced at $13.95 and would easily feed 2 or 3 people. All in all, was a great experience for a causal and unassuming restaurant on 28th and 6th ave. I am relieved to have a new spot for the next time I am in midtown and desperate to refuel for lunch - and want something satisfying but not too unhealthy, Emperor Dumpling will be my choice! The location is very convenient to Herald Square/34th street A/B/C/D trains as well as the 1 train which my friend took to meet me. COVID related details: The staff were all wearing masks! There was hand sanitizer provided at the counter as well as extra masks! Felt very safe. The place was very clean, all of the tables were spotless when we sat down. read more

Convenient location....great dumplings for a rainy cold Sunday. Also enjoyed the Mongolian Beef combo w a hot & sour soup.

It had exquisite food with good sauces. Would visit again, service was nice. Ambiance was relaxing.

Really nice little place! Plenty of people enjoying dumplings, they were a bit on the pricy side so didn't get to try them. Just went for the chicken and broccoli lunch special (discount for cash). Massive portion for about $12! And really tasty. The dude behind the counter was really nice and personable. They have homemade chili oil and that stuff is absolutely fantastic. I don't work in the area anymore but if you do it's a great lunch spot. read more

1. Service is great. 2. Place is clean with a small dining area. So why the big one star? Well, the food is terribly bland. I've never had such bland Asian food in my life. This is my second time coming here. The first time I had beef and broccoli with white rice. I can only say it tasted like someone who didn't know what they were doing put together. This second time I'm having the 'duck with rice noodle soup'. It has the look of a promising and delicious duck soup but it tasted like it was cooked for someone who suffers from high blood pressure. No flavor whatsoever. I even added a little salt to it and it didn't help. This spot always has customers which drew me to it on my first try. The second attempt was from searching for soup on this cold rainy day. I didn't realize I was walking to the same spot I had the beef and broccoli from until a a few minutes before arrival. By then I decided to give it another chance since I'm already almost there and the reviews said this soup was good. Well it wasn't. I won't be returning. As previously stated, very nice persons at the counter, clean spot. They're clearly busy with customers. Just not my thing and that may just be me. read more
