    I haven't been here in a while but I used to come quite often. The food is still delicious and the service is just as good as I remember. There are some parking spaces right out front and parking behind the restaurant as well. There's a decent amount of seating there but it can fill up quickly . They only take reservations for large parties. The food is amazing. Authentic Chinese cuisine. The soup dumplings are delicious. The Young Chow Fried Rice is very good as well. Our server was very good my last visit. Attentive and helpful with suggestions. It's cash only so don't forget that important note.

    spicy beef noodle soup (with a finger nail inside)

    I have come here for the past 6 years since I've lived and moved to Little Neck/Douglaston area. This was my go to soup dumplings place and their beef noodle soup is my favorite. My wife also loved the soup. We order from this location every month or every couple months and definitely utilize the valpak coupon that comes in the mail. Today, however will be my last time eating at this establishment. We ordered for pick up like we normally do, 2 spicy beef noodles, 1 sesame chicken, and fried dumplings. The food was good, but to my surprise as I was eating my beef noodle which I have had countless times. I felt something hard in my mouth... as I was trying to figure out what it was I spat it out eventually because it was definitely not chewable. It was a clipped fingernail!!! FINGERNAIL!!! This is just plan gross!! As soon as I found out, I called them, I believe the lady at the register and answers the phone is Helen, who offered a refund or she could make another replacement for that ONE noodle. We didnt want a replacement for anything. Keep in mind my wife ordered the same thing, she no longer had appetitie to eat her noodle soup. We requested that we bring back all the food and get a full refund, which we did. She stated that in the 20 years that the restaurant has been open, they never had this happen before. Well, you know what, it happened and I will definitely not return. Upon returning the food, Helen gave me the refund amount in full, and was apologetic. Without my request, Helen had 2 spicy beef noodle soups ready for pick up. Although a nice gesture, I cannot and will not eat at this place anymore. She insisted that I take it, but I just couldn't. She also said that sometimes when they make the beef, its packaged really tightly, which I'm not sure what the relevance had to do with the fingernail. As a grown man, I have never had somebody else's fingernail trimmings in my mouth, I nearly threw up because that is just plan gross. My wife has been gagging here and there for the past hour just thinking about it. This place is crowded, the food is good. But how did a fingernail get into my food. Im not going sit and find out, I'm never returning to this restaurant, Little Dumpling little neck on northern Blvd. I have informed my friends and family that have eaten at this location. Customers beware. If you want extra protein, it might come in a form of fingernail clippings.

    Cuisine: 4 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 5 This restaurant is very average in many ways. They don't do anything well or not badly. I have eaten here a few times out of convenience or from invites, but I would never choose to come here myself. Most recently, my friends brought their food over as part of a pot luck event, and obviously it was even worse than when fresh. Anyway, avoid this Chinese restaurant unless you have no other options.

    Stopped by Little Dumpling on Northern Blvd in Queens for lunch and had a great meal. Started with the wine chicken and of course, the pork soup dumplings. The soup dumplings, despite the kind you get, are an absolute must every time you come here. Perfectly soupy and packed with flavor, that will really hit the spot. For my main dish, I had the Snow Cabbage with Pork Noodle Soup, which was super comforting and full of flavor. The noodles had great texture, and the broth was light but satisfying. I paired it all with a kumquat lemon green tea, which was cold, citrusy, and really refreshing. A perfect balance to the warm noodle soup and dumplings. The service was attentive without being overbearing, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The atmosphere was casual, and while there was a moderate level of noise, it was never too loud to hear the person sitting across from me. If you're in the area and craving soup dumplings and a cozy lunch, Little Dumpling is always a solid choice.

    Once it gets cold outside, Little Dumpling is always my go to. Every item on their menu makes me feel warm and happy. My favorite is their soup dumplings. Service is super quick and friendly, this place is a MUST!

    Again, I recently tried this restaurant and wasn't impressed. Their dumplings fell apart which was very disappointing... the atmosphere is a bit sad, and the food is expensive. The service is ok, not great. I think the dumplings are much better at Pearl East, surprisingly. I have tried Little Dumpling 3 times now and each time have been disappointed.

    Nice dumpling place not in the heart of a busy area. They have parking in front of the store and a parking lot below the store. There is a little wait during prime time. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Fast service! Always checking to see if you need anything. We had the soup dumplings to start. Followed by some crispy scallion pancakes. (A must try). We also had some noodle and main course dishes. The waiter was more than kind enough to make some suggestions. We had a delicious fish filet dish, the Crispy noodle and chicken dish was yummy too. The only dish everyone was not crazy about was the short rib in sweet and sour sauce. The Sauce was fine but the meat was tough! Chewy and not tender. It was a disappointment! Hope we get better short ribs next time.

    Food is consistently good! If you enjoy soup dumplings, those are their specialty! The ambiance is somewhere between good and very good, the tables are a little tight but sufficient. Service is fine with cordial staff. Favorites are: spicy Beef noodle soup and Salted Prawns. All dumplings are great, just pick your flavor!

    There were 6 of them I totally forgot to take a pic before.

    I was in the mood for dumplings but really I was in the mood for the dumplings that I had at Yumpling (courtesy of Yelp). The traffic was too much so decided to look for a place close to me. The dumplings were okay, they were what you would normally get. So I have nothing bad to say about them because that's what I'm used to until I tasted the yumpling ones. So I guess it's not fair to compare it to those. The service was good. I did feel it was a bit pricy $9. Something just for that. And it's cash or debit card only.

    We have been on the hunt for soup dumplings since our favorite place shut down. The birthday girl requested this so we decided to try it out and it didn't disappoint! We ordered the pork and crab soup dumplings as well as the black truffle pork soup dumplings. They were delicious! The dumplings were meaty and soupy. The skin is good, not thick. The black truffle was so flavorful! We ordered scallion pancakes and they were nice and crispy. Service is friendly and efficient. It has a warm feel in a modern setting. The restaurant is cash only so come prepared. There is a small lot in the front, street parking and parking in a lot on a side street. Now we know where to go to get our soup dumpling fix!

    A very adequate dumpling and Chinese restaurant. Fast. , friendly and efficient service. Vegetables cooked to perfection. Delicious lobster with ginger scallion sauce. Udon noodles were outstanding !! Very reasonable prices (cash only). They have a garage on the side street. Certainly an experience I could repeat many times. Run don't walk over and enjoy !! Wontons in chili peanut sauce is a must starter !!

    Does Little Dumpling still serve beer and wine? I'm looking at reviews that mention it, but they all are from 5+ years ago

    Yes...have domestic and Chinese beer

    Do you guys serve vegan options?

    Their vegan options are limited. Vegetable with tofu, gluten meals for mock meat; and of course Chinese broccoli and side vegetable items

    Do they serve alcohol?

    Yes last time I checked they had

    Do they have dairy & nut free options? Are they considerate about food allergies?

    We were worried about the peanut sauce, and they were accommodating enough to put it on the side for us. So I would assume they would be more than convenient in accommodating food allergies.

    Excellent food. Beautiful presentation and mastery in preparation…read more The Peking duck was delicious. The fat was either removed or baked out. The dish was presented traditionally with the all the toppings. The duck sauce was also perfect. A beautiful dish that fulfilled the 3 categories of Chinese cooking: color, fragrance and taste. Our next favorite in presentation and taste is the pork belly with pumpkin. The presentation of the dish is eye popping. The pork belly is unmistakably cooked by a master chef. The texture is chewy (skin), soft (fat) and dense (meat). The sauce may look over the top, but it adds to the silkiness of the pieces. The "fat" is not greasy. It's puzzling how they rendered the grease. I grew up eating this dish and cook it too. This dish by far is the best I've had. Service is fantastic; helpful and attentive. This is our new favorite restaurant! Suggestion would be to eat at the restaurant for an incredible experience. Dishes came out is perfect order. It's been a while since we've experienced a classic Chinese restaurant.

The wonton soup was decent......wontons were very good but the broth however was a bit bland. Roast pork fried rice was pretty good.....a little dry and skimpy on the pork but the flavor was more than adequate. Hot and sour soup was really tasty with a good bit of spice. Scallion bubble pancake was very light and tasty. The Emperor cabbage appetizer was probably my favorite meal item.....crispy cabbage tossed in a peanuty garlic sauce with honey. It was served cold (which usually I'm not a big fan of, but this was an exception) and had a great flavor. Pork belly appetizer tasted very good but it wasn't crispy (which would have made it so much better) and the buns they were served with didn't taste completely fresh. Dan Dan noodles with ground beef was excellent.... they're served spicy and you can simply request the level of heat you prefer to fit your taste buds. Soup dumplings were of decent size and quite juicy...... unfortunately they lacked some flavor. Mongolian beef dish was excellent as was the kung pao chicken. Overall it was a pretty good meal but there was some room for improvement. The staff was very nice and it did have quite a cool "old school American Chinese restaurant" vibe from yesteryear.

Now there are some standout dishes that absolutely shine. Here's my top 3. * The Soup Dumplings. These are worth the visit alone. The skin is thin and light, offering just enough structure to hold in the deeply savory and satisfying broth and filling. * The Dry noodles. The noodle dishes are well prepared and I have a clear preference here. Opt for the dry noodle variations. Unfortunately, the soupy noodle dishes fell a bit flat as the broth, while perhaps visually appealing, was surprisingly tasteless and lacked depth of flavor, IMHO of course. So Stick to the dry versions. * The Thick-Cut Pork Belly. Wow! The meat is cooked to tender perfection. The fat renders beautifully, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture, while the meat remains succulent. The saltiness is not overly salty, but seasoned deeply enough to enhance the rich pork flavor without overwhelming it. This dish is a masterclass in balance and indulgence. Ishanghai offers delicious, authentic Shanghainese cuisine with some truly exceptional items on the menu. Some notable must haves are the scallion pancakes with beef, pork chive dumplings, crispy pork chops and shredded pork with rice cakes. Don't forget to order from the $5 daily dim sum specials (Dine in only) offered between 11-2:30pm. A great Shanghainese restaurant in the Bayside Hills area that is worth the trip!

Once your number is called, you go up some stairs to the eating/tabled area. There are tables and chairs for 2, 4 and more guests throughout the large space. The pace of the restaurant is very fast...as soon as you are seated, you are given tea and your waiter comes over right away to take any order you are ready to give. Its helpful to ask for a menu while you are waiting for a table so you know what to order when asked. We had some soup dumplings as well as a (large) soup. Everything was very good and out in about 15 minutes...very fast. The soup dumplings were great...but as expected are filled with piping hot broth so be careful when eating. They have some other appetizers and dishes available. There are also some drink options including cold teas, soft drinks and beer. Overall a great experience...despite visiting on a busy Saturday, we were in and out in about 40-45 minutes. Street parking can be tough in the area but there are a few garages around...one of the more reasonable options is the garage at the Skyview shops which currently charge about $6 for up to three (3) hours and is a short 5 minute walk away.
