The fried chicken was a crowd favorite, and anything with flower pepper really stood out with bold, numbing flavor. Tried pork ear for the first time, and it was surprisingly good--nicely seasoned with chili oil and had a great texture. We also had lamb, spicy roasted fish, tofu, and a variety of vegetables--everything was well-executed and full of flavor. Great spot for sharing dishes and trying something new.

I want to say there had been at least 10 orders before I finally set foot into the restaurant, only because my nephew's birthday was being celebrated there. The place looked like it had been newly remodeled/refreshed. It was nice and clean inside, but as lots of restaurants did during and after Covid, they ended up using some of dining space for excess storage, so there was a little section that was a bit cluttered, but that didn't bother me. I was there for the food (oh, and a birthday party...hahaha!) The food here is solid, and consistently delicious, even after they changed owners. Some of my favorites that I order on repeat: Orange Peel Chicken Honey Walnut Shrimp Salt & Pepper Pork Chop Salt & Pepper Fish French Style Filet Mignon My only gripe, is when it changed owners, the prices jumped quite a bit, so I had to cut back on the frequency of my orders. When I was shopping around for catering party trays, they were higher than all the others. Still though, the food is that good, so while I may not be willing to spend the money on party trays, I'll continue ordering from here for regular meals.

I've been to Thumbling several times now, and I've never been disappointed. The food is…read moreconsistently delicious, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are hard to beat. My must-order dishes are the cucumber salad, Shanghai spicy chicken wontons, beef or chicken fried noodles, chicken egg fried rice, and the sugar milk tea. Every single dish is packed with flavor and always hits the spot. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming. It can get a little noisy, but to me that's a good sign--it means people keep coming back because the food is that good! I've eaten at Din Tai Fung many times, and while the menus have a lot of similar dishes, I honestly think Thumbling tastes even better at a much more affordable price. If you're looking for amazing food without the premium price tag, I highly recommend giving Thumbling a try!

Better than DTF and cheaper…read more I got 4 items: spicy wontons, beef roll, cucumbers, and the crispy pot stickers = $50 after taxes. And all of the items were good The spicy wontons isnt that spicy but had a lil kick to it and the sauce is good. The cucumbers is similar to the dtf one but just with thicker slices. Beef rolls meat could be more marinated but not bad. Crispy pot stickers were crisping. Definitely come early because theres always a long wait.

(We are staying at a near by hotel so we only order 2?items plus a soup because we didn't want to waste food by not having a place to store the leftovers) But, if things go as we hope at APU, this restaurant will become a place we plan to visit often once the transition is decided to move to APU.

The exterior is a bit sketchy as many of the shops near by are closed down , but the interior is pretty large and has a bunch of nice booths. Skip the hot and sour soup. It was bland. Highly recommend the orange chicken and also the eggplant dish. This place deep fries their eggplant before tossing it in a sauce. This gave it an amazing texture. I just wish it had a more flavorful or spicy sauce. White rice came with the entrees. Service was good, plenty of parking, and had the World Cup games in 2 big screens.

Super solid spot for a family dinner!…read more We ordered a massive spread from here and honestly, everything was really good. The kung pao chicken had a great savory flavor with just the right amount of kick and a good crunch from the peanuts, while the orange chicken had a really good, tangy sweet glaze to it. Just a heads-up if you like it super crunchy, their version is definitely on the softer, saucier side (which I prefer), but the flavor is spot on. The minced chicken lettuce wraps were fresh and super flavorful, and the egg drop soup was pure comfort in a bowl and came out piping hot. The absolute standout was definitely the deep fried fish fillet. The batter was super light and airy, and the fish inside was perfectly flaky and tender. We paired it all with the vegetable lo mein, which was loaded with veggies and the noodles weren't mushy at all, which is always a win. Portions are good, everything feels fresh, and it definitely hits the spot. We have been dining here for years and will continue to do so!

Very unique, but honestly depends on how impatient you are…read more It's Chinese food and magnolian bbq, it kind of has a buffet vibe. Get precooked food and check out ASAP or get the frozen and watch them cook it. The food is separated by two aisle, one cooked and one frozen. The price is charged by the weight like you are at a deli buying meat. There is seating in the back and they also provide catering. I highly suggest going when it's busy because the food kinda sits on the slow days ( which is the day I went, not as good)

Their mala beef noodle soups are solid, the broth is rich and the noodles are firm enough. The restaurant has very generous portions for their appetizers. The seaweed app is a heaping mountain and the popcorn chicken always comes on a large plate. Their drinks are also big so it's great to share with the group. There's generally no wait when we go, weekdays or weekend. Otherwise we get seated pretty quickly after a small wait. Service is super quick with piping hot dishes.

Their dan dan noodles with rice noodles was savory, with that lovely peanut base sauce. Their Crab & pork xiao lou bao is super delicious. Their skin is thin and the soup inside just fills your mouth. Honestly i think it's better than Din tai fung for that alone. The beef tomato noodle was filled with thick, tender beef chunks, and the diced tomato was actually sauted with savory seasoning. You can see many locals come here to enjoy excellent quality comfort food. From Ordering to being served was a matter of minutes. Great for limited lunch break people! Very clean, simply decorated place.

The cuts are perfectly thick and tender, and mixing it with the runny egg is incredibly satisfying. Even better than my usual go-to spots. We also tried the Taiwanese Mini Hot Pot--the broth is mild, but their Shacha dipping sauce is super authentic and hits the spot. The Stir-fried Water Spinach had great wok hei, too. But the real plot twist was the Pineapple Bun with Butter. I normally skip these because I find them too sweet, but theirs is a game-changer. Extremely crispy on the outside with that perfect slice of cold butter melting inside. Great portions, quick service, and a very comfortable environment to just sit down and enjoy a solid meal with friends. Highly recommend!

The rice and minced pork was super good. Good sweetness and texture. The chow fun was good but I think I would have preferred soy sauce option over the black bean option. The crispy noodles had a really good texture that I really liked, but I wish they were in a diff sauce. A more savory soy sauce or a more salty peanut sauce would have been great. I also like the ambiance and service was also pretty good! the food did not take that long to come out. Everything was pretty affordable and parking was really simple to find as well! Overall, I would recommend going to this place! I think most people would really enjoy it!
