It should really be a can't miss experience when visiting a restaurant with more than four stars from the yelp reviewers yet every so often I come across a meal that just doesn't make the grade. It is disappointing when this occurs and the latest one accomplish this is kungfu kitchen. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently wrong with the place. It just doesn't live up to the hype. It is a cute and comfortable restaurant. The service is pretty good even though some reviews said it is not but the cute vibe and comfortable seating only goes so far. I'm here for the food and that I found it disappointing. The xiaolongbao simply didn't get that instantaneous joyful flavor that I am used to when you put these delicacies into your mouth and bite down. The Ramen had a pungent smell to it, which just didn't really seem appetizing to me. The pork and shrimp dumplings were tasty, but the pork overpowered the shrimp bites so much that they might have well have skipped the shrimp entirely. Overall, it is a decent place to eat, but Orlando is a city filled with great restaurants and this one didn't wow me.
My family was seated immediately for lunch for our group of 7 on a Thursday at 12:45 pm. I made a reservation just to be on safe side by calling the day before. I ordered pork soup dumplings and chicken soup dumplings for the table which were delicious. There is vinegar and soy sauce on the table that you can mix together. There is also chili oil at the table. We also enjoyed the scallion pancakes and Shanghai pan fried pork buns. It was a very carb-alicious lunch! My mom enjoyed her large serving of wonton soup. I will definitely be back!
Shout out to Chris W for this amazing recommendation. We've come to Orlando often but usually it's to go to Disney. This place is very close to Disney, but is not on Disney property so even though Chris has recommended this place for a year, we've never taken the time to go. Also, the idea of long wait with kids was never that appealing to me. This time we had a kid free weekend because we were going to an Orlando Magic game so I made a point for us to try this restaurant. At 1 PM on a Saturday there was no wait, so I think the huge crowds have died down. Literally everything we tried was amazing. If I had to rank it, I'd start with the stirfried Ramen duck as my favorite. The Ramen is so much better than what you find elsewhere, the noodles were absolutely delicious. The duck was moist and fatty. I also loved the soup dumplings with chicken. The chocolate one is intriguing, but the table next to us tried to order it and they were out. So if I have the opportunity in the future to try it I will. The scallion pancakes with beef was phenomenal. The beef puts it over the edge. I actually loved the wood ear mushrooms. They were a light and refreshing, I wish I had someone to share it with, but since my husband wouldn't eat it, I actually ate the whole dish. The steamed chicken dumplings were also delicious, but if I had to give up one dish, that would be it. Basically you want to come here with a large group so you can eat everything. Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant is very clean. Parking is a breeze because there is a huge parking lot since this is in a strip mall area. I'll definitely come back.
Chef Peter Song, an actor who immigrated from China, was determined to bring authentic Northern Chinese cuisine to the U.S. Five years ago he opened the first restaurant in Flushing, New York. (baozi) from the Jiangnan region of China, especially associated with Shanghai and Wuxi. It is traditionally prepared in a xiao long, small bamboo steaming basket, which give them their name. Xiao long bao are often referred to as a kind of "dumplin" long noodle. Literally, lā, (拉) means to pull or stretch, while miàn (麵) means noodle. In the Lanzhou style, the dough is worked aggressively. It is pulled in straight, quick, tugs with no twisting or waving. El chef Peter Song, actor que emigró de China, estaba decidido a traer la auténtica cocina del norte de China a Estados Unidos. Hace cinco años abrió su primer restaurante en Flushing, Nueva York. Los baozi (baozi) son originarios de la región de Jiangnan, en China, especialmente asociados con Shanghái y Wuxi. Tradicionalmente se preparan en una xiao long, una pequeña cesta de bambú para cocinar al vapor, de donde proviene su nombre. A los baozi se les suele llamar una especie de "dumplin" (bollos largos). Literalmente, lā (拉) significa tirar o estirar, mientras que miàn (麵) significa fideo. En el estilo Lanzhou, la masa se trabaja enérgicamente. Se estira con tirones rectos y rápidos, sin torsiones ni ondulaciones. #followformore @mrs.foodie
I wish we were local as this would quickly become our new dinner spot. We had the pork soup dumplings, F1 which was a spicy beef noodle soup, a chicken ramen stir fry dish, scallion pancake with braised beef and also a knife cut noodles chicken dish. The scallion pancake was my favorite thing that I tried as it was the perfect balance of chewy, savory, warm, and sweet from a dab of hoisin sauce. Our server was incredible and patient as he helped us navigate the menu and the interior is cute and spacious.
My daughter chose this spot while we were near our hotel on a one night stop in the Disney area. This was the right choice for sure. The whole plaza seems to be Asian or Asian inspired restaurants and shops. I am always a bit weary about these places because of the proximity to tourist spots, but I was wrong. It is very cute With a nice statue outside for an instagram shot. Our server was super friendly and made some great suggestions. We tried all sorts of things. I'm have been on a very strict keto diet for the last almost 9 months and I blew it up in the first 10 seconds. We started with the scallion pancake with braised beef and some xiao long bao. Both knocked it out. My wife and daughter both got stir fried noodles with chicken, one knife cut, one ramen. I had the braised beef soup with chili oil. It out me up in the best way possible. Please try this spot, they have great reviews for a reason. We will definitely stop again in the future.
This place was okay but I probably would not return. We arrived and there was a wait time but we were seated pretty quickly. There are tables that are bigger in the middle of the restaurant, so you might be sitting with other guest with a space in between if your party is small. We ordered the beef ramen stir fry and it was amazing! We also ordered the chicken soup dumplings and they were just okay. I wasn't overly impressed with them because they didn't have much flavor. The service was just okay. We also didn't like that our food didn't come out at the same time. It was confusing because we never had the same server for anything. There are multiple workers there so we never knew who to ask anything to because of this reason. Overall, it was a good experience but just once is enough for me!
When I heard about the hand made dumplings that are filled with soup I naturally was wondering how it's made! Well, I worked in a kitchen with many culinary chefs. They told me that they freeze the broth and wrap it with the noodle. I ordered the crispy pancake, and I also got a taro drink with boba. They texture of the dumpling was a bit thick for my liking. The service was great and quick as well. The pancake was fantastic. I really enjoyed the crispy aspect and savory notes. The dip was also good. The little character outside is really cute and a great photo op. The experience overall was good, but I took off a star because the dumpling was too thick.
Was in the mood for dim sum, we found Kungfu Kitchen on Yelp. Inside is nicely decorated and spacious. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was ok, the dumplings weren't overly tasty. Everything was good, but not spectacular. If I'm in the area again I might go back and try other things on the menu.
It's rare but sometimes we get cold days in Florida and sometimes you just crave for something spicy and hot but unfortunately that's not what we received here as our food was barely what I could call warm! So to clarify 2 of the 3 items were warm while the dumplings were super hot! The spicy beef soup with the knife cut noodles would have been outstanding had it been warmer as when I get soup I expect it to be piping hot not luke warm and leaving more to be desired the soup as whole was good the flavor was there the noodles were yummy and it was pretty good for the most part. Our shrimp and beef noodles were also warm they seem as though they were sitting for a bit before we got them and this was on a slower day so I don't know what was up with that but had they been hot they would have been outstanding as it had nice peanut sauce flavor and we're just yummy! The pan fried dumplings were by far the best thing we had as they had an awesome flavor to them they dumplings were just as you expect them to be texture wise. Overall this meal let me looking for hot food which is the reason why I wouldn't come back here again as with soo many yummy Asian options in the area I'd rather just go there next time!
Wow. 5 star Chinese food in Orlando. The noodles are so fresh and it makes all the difference. Dumplings were delicious. I ordered on Uber Eats. Packed with care. I wish they would have provided soy sauce. Wasn't a big fan of their dumpling sauce, very vinegar tasting. I asked for hot oil, which was terrific. Enjoy.
Last night my family and I went to Kung Fu Kitchen to celebrate my son's 15th birthday. We were excited to try it, but the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. After checking in at their kiosk, we ended up waiting over 45 minutes for a table. The restaurant itself is very small, which definitely contributes to the long wait times. There were also two large parties taking up most of the seating. Once seated, the tables are extremely close together--you really feel like you're sitting right on top of the people next to you, which made it a little uncomfortable. That said, the food is really good. This location has a nice assortment of dumplings and quick bites. We ordered the scallion pancakes with beef, which came with BBQ sauce and were honestly delicious. We also had pork bao buns and a chicken noodle bowl, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was just okay--nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. Our waiter never came back to check on us or ask if we wanted refills. We also ordered dessert, but after we finished eating we were told the waiter never put the order in, so we had to wait another 15 minutes. Unfortunately, that kind of took the fun out of ending the night with dessert for a birthday celebration. The bathroom was somewhat clean, but the trash was overflowing, which made it feel like staff wasn't paying close attention to detail. Overall, Kung Fu Kitchen is a good option if you're looking to try something different and enjoy solid food. However, there are plenty of other great spots in the area where you don't have to wait nearly as long to sit down for dinner. If you plan on coming here, be prepared to wait--they don't take reservations unless you have a large party coming it seems.
Easily got a table around 5pm on a Friday and was greeted by a friendly server. There were so many unique items on the menu that we wanted to try. The soup dumpling was hot, soft and flavorful. The turnip dim sum was crispy with hot, strings of turnip inside and we both agreed that this was the surprise hit of the night! The hand cut noodles were a little oily and not the most flavor and I recommend steering away from the duck for this dish- though the duck had decent flavor, it was incredibly difficult to eat with the small bones and tough fatty parts. The beef scallion pancakes were crispy, sweet and savory- definitely try it with some chili oil, too. Overall, was an enjoyable and tasty experience. read more

The food was amazing! We stopped in on a Friday night at about 6pm. We're not from the area, and didn't realize they're a newer restaurant. We wanted to try everything, but we limited ourselves to just a few items each. Everything is clearly prepared fresh with a real passion for the food. The service was excellent as well. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Worth the stop. 10/10, highly recommend. read more

A nice quaint place with friendly service and yummy food! There is food you know and love but also unique items that will have you coming back. The staff were very kind, informative, and efficient. I would highly recommend giving this place a try! It's also a plus not having to go deep into Orlando to find this style of restaurant of this caliber. read more

This is new hot spot is a culinary artistic grand opening where I was eager to experience its highly anticipated food. The ambiance was a delightful mix of modern sleekness and traditional Asian decor, promising a soup dumpling cruise of an exciting dining adventure for lunch. The Scallion Pancake with Sliced Beef was a marvel - crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, with the beef adding a savory punch that left my taste buds doing a happy dance. Just Wow. Fried Chicken Dumplings were little parcels of crispy, golden brown, bursting with juicy, chicken joy! Each bite was a delightful crunch followed by a mouthful of succulent, perfectly spiced chicken. It doesn't matter if you're full. Just get fat and worry about the gym to tomorrow with Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns. Soft and fluffy on top, with a perfectly crisped bottom and a juicy, flavorful pork filling. Get in my belly!! Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left me craving more. I may sleep out front tonight! The Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao was the star of the show. These delicate soup dumplings, filled with rich crab meat and succulent pork, were a testament to the kitchen's expertise. The broth inside each bao was flavorful and comforting, making every bite a small celebration. Since it was the grand opening, a few hiccups were expected, and indeed, they had some kinks to iron out. It took a lengthy 13 minutes to see a waiter, which is a bit long when you're eagerly anticipating culinary delights. Additionally, their tech-savvy waiting list promised text notifications but instead resorted to calls, which felt like a step back in time. These minor issues, however, are forgivable as they settle into their groove. For those opting to take the Kung Fu Kitchen experience home, the food travels exceptionally well. I ordered too much as usual and I'm not fond of packing my own leftovers to take home when the table is so small. I should have just ordered what I could eat but I wanted to try everything and then tell my family I got them food Kung Fu Kitchen offers a promising start with its delectable dishes and inviting atmosphere. While they have a few kinks to work out in their service, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. With time, I'm confident they'll smooth out these wrinkles and become a beloved spot for both dine-in and takeout. Grab your chopsticks and get ready for a kung fu fight in your mouth - you won't be disappointed. If you are then you're just wrong and should stay home. read more

Finally decided to check this place out after hearing about it a few months ago and absolutely loved it! We were seated immediately upon arrival and all of the staff was so friendly. The restaurant was very clean and we continuously saw staff picking up wherever they saw trash. We asked for recommendations and once we were served, they made sure we were happy with everything and constantly refilled our drinks. We ordered the chicken soup dumplings, the steamed pork dumplings, the scallion pancakes, and the sticky rice. Everything was so tasty! Perfect temperature, perfect textures, and perfect seasonings. It was also really enjoyable inside with nice music. We loved that the menu had little icons for best sellers, vegetarian options, hot and spicy, and Michelin star items. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great dumplings! Best in Orlando Service can be slow if they are busy. Expect a wait during dinner. Fav are the steamed veggie buns and the taro rolls. Clean bathroom. Plenty of parking. I didn't try the boba. read more
Came here on a Tuesday night, place had a good number of patrons but no wait. The decor was very cute, it's a open space with steamers on the wall as decoration and nice Chinese style dividers/windows. The food came out quite fast which was nice. Special Hand Cut Noodle with Soup ($17.95): 7/10 it comes with shrimp, beef and an egg. Loved the texture of the noodles, the classic hand cut style. Quite a good sized portion. The beef slices were thin but some of the pieces had more fatty chunks in it than I would've liked. The broth wasn't too salty (unlike some places) but on the flip side, it definitely could do with more seasoning. It had like a hint of flavor honestly. Pork Xiaolongbao ($11.95) - 8/10 good flavor, skin was nice and thin but sturdy enough to not rip when pulling it from the steamer. Came out nice and hot as it should. Very soupy and very soft. Crab and pork xiaolongbao ($13.95) - if you're not against crab, I'd suggest getting this one to be honest. We got both to try but I think this one just has more flavor. However if you're tryna save money, the pork only one is quite comparable. Stir-fry noodles: 7.5/10 pretty good flavor, could've come out a little hotter (temp-wise) though Overall, not a bad meal, quite tasty but I can't say it's something I'm itching to return to soon given the price point. Although the meal was largely enjoyable, I feel like the price is more reflective of the restaurant's location on I-Drive than due to its quality of food. Not that the food is bad but it's not that special. read more

Delicious and authentic food. Soup Dumplings are amazing and very hot. Service was good even though they were very busy. Wait wasn't too bad either. Approximately 20 mins after entering our names on their kiosk. Only took a picture of my beer which was nice and cold. We were very hungry and forgot to take pics of our food. read more

The food was delicious, and the watermelon slush was made with real fruit, not just the flavor like most places. They actually cut up watermelon pieces and blended it to a slush. The service was excellent, and the menu shows the pictures of the menu items. It is a very casual and cool environment great for a date or family. Plenty of parking spaces and easy to find. read more

I love the red interior with the decor on the walls! The restaurant is smaller than expected but has lots of seating so no need to worry! The service is good the food came out at a decent timing. The pork xiao long bao is the most popular dish for a reason. The soup is so refreshing and not salty at all! It's so well balance that you don't need to add any additional sauce to it. It comes in 6 pieces but it was so good I had eaten a few before I could take a picture! The scallion pancake was good but something I could pass up. I am someone who likes my scallion pancake on a more softer side and this was more "flakey". The sauce paired with it is sweet so it paired nicely with the beef. The house special ramen was a shared dish and I love the sauce added on to it. I expected it to be salty but it was on the lighter side and a dish that won't get you to a bloated feeling. read more

Have been hearing so much about this place and everyone raves about it! Finally tonight we came to try! Got here about 15 min before they open and there is about 10ish people in line (not too bad), it's pretty large inside. We were seated promptly, small table, hard to fit everything on the table. Only thing they provided on the table was soy sauce which is odd to me already. You get this huge picture menu (which is nice) and the waitress comes over and takes your order on an iPad. We got the passion fruit green tea, it was good, a little sweet. Ordered the following: - pork soup dumpling, they were big, wasn't as hot as others that I have had. Not bad. 7/10 but it didn't come with the regular dipping sauce like other places. - crab and pork soup dumpling, 5/10 - wonton soup, 6/10, broth was good, but wonton was ok - scallion pan cake with meat, 7/10, not bad, but it was cold so perhaps would of been better hot. - pan fried pork buns 6/10, so much dough, not enough filling. Food came out fast, check took a while. Service was good. Not sure if it's worth the hype? But good enough for orlando I suppose. read more

It's always hard not to order the entire menu here! Highly recommend coming in with family or friends and trying a little bit of everything family-style. Do not skip the soup dumplings and pan-fried buns! read more
Very pretty inside. Much more so than expected. Great menu. Food was superb. Hot , delicious, very fresh tasting and plentiful . Appropriately priced. Service was good. Polite and professional servers. Highly recommended. read more
As a xaio long bao lover the ones found here were exceptional! Particularly for the Orlando area these are probably the best! The menu is rather small but it allows the kitchen to precook food & get it out faster yet fresh, versus having a larger menu & having to cook it as it's ordered. The Shanghai pork buns were also amazing & the dipping sauce is the other must try!! The hand cut noodles & ramen were basically the same thing it just different noodles so if you like bigger chewier noodles get the hand cut, & it's also big enough to share! Biggest draw back is the massive wait but it's expected for a new restaurant with actual quality food, completely worth it in my opinion! read more

They are pretty good for Orlando standard...but I won't wait more than 20 mins for this. Friday night at 9pm, the wait was around 20 minutes. We went after visiting Disney park. The best dish was pork & shrimp wonton soup! We added hand-cut noodles, and the kids love it! Really good both. The xiao long bao are good, but not with the hyped. I also went to the NYC location last year. It was good too, but Joe's Shanghai is a lot better! read more

From the brain of highly successful New York restauranteur, Peter Song, comes the Orlando Kungfu Kitchen - specializing in Northern Chinese eats such as soup dumplings (xiao long bao), pan fried dumplings, and all the different kinds of bao your foodie heart could ever wish for. I came here on a mission to try as much of the menu as possible. The "hits" were REALLY good while the "misses" I would probably not order again. Below is everything I tried RANKED from favorite to least favorite: -- Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns: AMAZING, some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside and a juicy explosion of flavor on the inside -- Pumpkin Mochi Cakes: sounds strange but it works. Just get this perfectly fried deliciousness. Trust me. -- Pork Xiao Long Bao: good as well. A bit flat but the skin was the perfect thickness so that it didn't fall apart and it was very soupy. The pork inside was not too fatty. -- Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: plentiful filling and well seasoned -- Beef and tripe in chili oil: a simple and yummy cold appetizer -- Pork and shrimp wonton soup: this was a good "break" in our meal. It was warm and flavorful. -- Chicken Xiao Long Bao: not as good as the pork one but still pretty tasty. Wish there was more flavor, DTF is way better. -- House special hand-cut noodle: I liked the consistency of the noodle but I was not used to so much liquid at the bottom of the dish -- Taro puffs: a bit too sweet but good if you like taro -- Pan fried buns with eggs and chives: just okay. It was pretty oily. -- Peking duck buns: strangely too sweet for me? I was not expecting the flavor. And not enough duck For three people, this was certainly way too much food. But we didn't mind the leftovers :) So the food was good, the ambiance is nice (loved the simple decor) but the service was just okay. We waited about an hour for our table (on a Monday afternoon!!) and the host stand was a bit disorganized so we saw some later parties on the list getting seated before us, since the communication between hosts was off. The food came to us at random times, some dishes such as the XLB we waited a while for. We had random servers coming to us but very rarely would they check on how we were doing (staff seemed to be frantically running around) read more
This was our second attempt to get a table and we lucked out today. Glad we did. Before getting into the food .....Warning-avoid the weekend unless you are willing to wait As good as any food is I will no longer wait an hour or two for a table. Even 30 minutes is pushing it. But the food was very good. We love soup dumplings having gone to Joes Shanghai in Flushing many times. Here we ordered the chicken soup dumplings and they were so flavorful with hints of ginger. Hubby wanted more soup but I thought there was plenty in these plump dumplings. The scallion pancake was a think version but still tasty. We liked the mushroom and veggie Bao. The real star was the duck Boa. It was chashu style duck and the one dish that i would definitely order again and again Service was friendly and swift. Just wish it wasn't in the tourist area unless they would take reservations. If it is busy you sign in at the kiosk and you will receive a text with your place in line. Five stars if there wasn't a wait. read more
Came in on a Monday evening for dinner at about 5pm it was not busy and had no wait time. They are still on the soft opening and they are blowing up on social media so the wait time during the weekends are around 1-2 hours. So recommend to try them out on a week day at least for now. The service was pretty great , the order was taken quick and they kept coming to fill the water cup. We ordered the Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns, Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings and the House Special (Shrimp, Egg, Beef & Bok Choy) soup. everything we had was super flavorful and the dumplings had lots of soup inside. Definitely worth trying. read more

Some friends and I have been talking about this place since it's opened, so we were so excited to finally try it out! The inside is modern and decorated with steam baskets all on the wall and the tables have super comfortable chairs! When you first come in you're immediately greeted by the host! I will say that if you're looking to be seated it's best to come in with your entire party. We had a group of five and we had to wait for everyone to show up before we were seated. Once we were seated they went over the menu with us and gave us some time to order. Of course we had to try out the xiaolongbao or soup dumplings that people were raving about. We went with the pork and the crab/pork combo, both of which came in a steamer basket. The server walked us through the proper way to enjoy them and also recommended the dumpling sauce to try with it. Along with the amazing soup dumplings we ordered the chicken dumplings, veggie dumplings, and scallion pancakes with beef. All of the food was packed with flavor! I was pleasantly surprised especially by the scallion pancakes! I was not expecting to like them as much as I did! The dumplings of course are a win as well. I'd recommend holding your bowl nearby as you enjoy them in case of spillage. They've got a pretty decent sized menu of items to choose from so I'll be sure to go back again to try some other items! If you're a dumpling and noodle fan, you'll need to run not walk to KungFu Kitchen! read more

When you're from California, it is not easy to find delicious authentic Shanghainese & Taiwanese food. Yelping for chinese food, we came across Kungfu Kitchen & decided to go after our day at Disneyworld. PSA: There is a wait so join the waiting list asap. We waited about 1/2 hour & was 15th in line. We arrived an hour after it opened for dinner. Once you get a table, the service is fast. Servers are friendly & helpful. Hot teas are free refills. Restaurant is clean & modern. Love steamer baskets are used to as wall decor. The food is legit!! Taste is just right & most importantly authentic. Knife cut & hand pulled noodles are our favorite. The beef noodle was excellent. Broth was not overly salty, the beef had just the right flavor too. The Knife cut chow mein was made right. You can taste the wok hei (the heat, favor & smoke from a hot wok that infuses into the raw ingredients). Noodles were not mushy & has the right texture. The cucumber salad was crunchy & refreshing. I am a huge fan fresh chopped garlic in the salad but this restaurant doesn't put it on it. Still good & not bland. The shanghai pan fried pork buns were neatly wrapped, fresh & puffy! Most importantly, there was soup in the buns! That's a huge PLUS! I grew up eating shanghai pan fried pork dumpling with soup in it. Majority of the dumpling places that make it never have soup in them. Hot/iced teas, milk teas, smoothies & slushes are in the drink menu. The hot jasmine green tea was aromatic, not bitter & great tasting. My tea had unlimited refills. For the cold drinks, you can add toppings like honey boba, popping boba, & coconut jelly for an additional cost. At the end of our meal, we ordered (2) lychee slushes with boba, one of them also had jelly. Boba was freshly made, chewy, soft & sweet. The slush was not overly sweet but there is some cream in it. Highly recommend eating here. It is rare to find excellent authentic dumplings & fresh hand pulled/cut noodles in Orlando. There is a limited amount of dim sum on their menu. Next time I come back to Orlando, we will try the dim sum. read more
So, I finally got the chance to visit one of Orlando's newest foodie spots near the Lake Buena Vista / Disney area, called Kungfu Kitchen. Originally based out of New York City and known for their ramen and other tasty dishes, it was exciting to learn their franchise was expanding to good 'ole Orlando! As a lover of ramen (in just about any and every form), I just KNEW I had to try this new local spot out. Now on to the good stuff: the review! First impressions, the restaurant was BUSY! Their wait time, for as busy as they were, was only 20 minutes - which was shockingly pretty short considering this restaurant is still on the newer side. Unlike some other newer restaurants where the wait times are just ridiculously long (up to 3.5 hours pending the area), this was a plus in their court. And because I was only a party of two, my 20-minute wait was more like 10 minutes as a table opened up fairly quickly after my arrival and joining their waitlist. I should note, that it is in a plaza that has numerous other shops, vendors, and eateries - so, on the off chance you didn't want to wait in the restaurant for your table, you could visit the other shops in the plaza. I do not know if they take reservations over the phone - I assume they would for larger parties, but I think their waitlist system is pretty reasonable. Moving on, the overall decor and aesthetic of the restaurant were quite simple but paid a beautiful homage to Asian culture. The open seating does - unfortunately, lend itself to a much noisier space and they do not have outdoor seating options. So, just be aware of that. It does not take away from the experience but it is something to note if you are looking for more casual and lively dining experiences. If you want something more intimate this may not be the best spot for you. Should also note, from my limited knowledge, eating is very much a communal experience and the liveliness of the restaurant embraces that. As far as service goes, the service once seated was a bit slower than I'd have preferred. I did make note that the larger parties got a bit more attention / quicker servicing. That is probably due to the size of the party - however, for a table of two, the service was just a bit lacking in quickness. Despite that, the wait staff was very nice. The food was good - but not as good as I had set my expectations to considering my dining experiences in New York - especially when it comes to Asian cuisine which has been unmatched! I've had some of my most memorable eating experiences of numerous cultures in New York and I had very high hopes for this dining experience. So, it was a little disheartening that the ramen didn't live up to the hype from other social media content foodie creators bragged about. I ordered the Chicken Soup Ramen - no changes and the Shrimp Steamed Dumplings. The Chicken Soup Ramen needed a tad more seasoning - preferably more cilantro and some garlic. The Shrimp Steamed Dumplings, however, to DIE FOR! They were so tasty - and I did not add anything to either of those dishes. I ate them as served. I also had the Taro Puffs and Pumpkin Mochi Cakes. The Taro Puffs were simply amazing. They do contain sesame - so be cognizant of that for food allergy purposes - but the sesame does elevate the experience. The Pumpkin Mochi Cakes, I could live without. I was not the biggest fan of the red bean filling but I would not have known until I tried them. Overall, my general experience was good. I would go back to try some of their other more popular dishes. Fun fact, they note on their menu the fan favorites as well as their award-winning dishes. If you are a ramen fan, I say definitely give them a try. Maybe pop in on a day when they are less busy. Until the next time, I can say I did leave happy. Also, price points are quite reasonable. So, that is always a plus! read more
