    Dumplings
    Mia H.

    I've been wanting to try this spot out for a while but only got around to trying it recently. They have a fairly simple menu with some rice options, two noodle dishes, small bites, and dumplings. I tried their pork and chive dumplings. While I really hoped to like this spot, I found that the dumplings were way too salty and not that great. Maybe their other dishes are better?

    Quick and nice service. Ambiance leans more towards a quick bite to eat. We had this as a late lunch snack and it was perfect for two people to share! We couldn't decide which was better between the pork and chicken and we'd recommend both!

    Nicole B.

    Friendly staff & tasty food! The basil aioli was so flavorful and I always love when french fries are available with dumplings or sushi. I got the 1/2 pork 1/2 chicken alongside the fries (8 dumplings total). The dumplings were good, but I liked them even more the next day after the seasoning set in. They had a nice seared bottom, but not hard or chewy. About $22 for all.

    Fried pork chop biandang

    Yumpling is one of the more authentic Taiwanese restaurants that I've been to in NYC, and I do like to stop by for a nice meal whenever I'm in the area. The restaurant itself is a bit small and doesn't have the most seats, but the counter service and food prep is pretty quick, and table turnover is correspondingly quick, too. I usually order one of the bian dangs here -- I was admittedly a bit put off by the DIY nature thereof haha but got over that. I really like their fried pork chop (classic Taiwanese bento) -- nicely fried without being too salty or soggy -- and I almost always opt for the lotus roots for the veggie side (really crunchy and delicious). The braised egg was a particular highlight :)  I've also had the lu rou fan before (another Taiwanese classic) and while it was fine, I did find it to be a bit salty/oily, esp as you get to the bottom of the rice.  Price point is a bit high, but not too crazy for the neighbourhood/NYC in general. I also have seen them post some (maybe seasonal) shaved-ice-esque desserts (which look pretty authentic haha) that I'd love to try sometime!

    Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and Lou rou fan

    Tried the pork and chive dumpling, Lu Rou fan, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the beef noodle soup! I love the noodle texture a lot in the beef noodle soup! My favorite was the beef noodle soup and the popcorn chicken! All were very delicious!

    Pork chop on the side
    Stacy T.

    Pretty pleasantly surprised by this place. I could not fathom a better fried chicken sandwich. I kind of like how monstrous the fried chicken patty looks in this bun. The fried chicken was moist and so on point. The fried pork chop, we got on the side, and it actually was not that great. The fried chicken was definitely better. The beef noodle soup was also unexpectedly great. The beef, which there was plenty of, was actually quite moist. Usually it is very dry because of the hot soup, but here it was not. The noodles were also so soft. Win all around. Next time I want to try the friend chicken/pork chop rice combo.

    Chicken dumpling and veggie dumpling
    Joyce K.

    Recently ordered DoorDash from Yumpling and wanted to love it, but sadly wasn't a big fan! I got their chicken dumplings (pink color) and veggie dumplings (green color). I felt the dumplings were kind of ?stale and the skin was very thick/heafty. The veggie dumplings weren't very flavorful and it didn't come with dipping sauce. Maybe I'll come back to try some of their other dishes, but the dumplings really didn't hit it for me.

    Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Half & Half Yumplings
    Shirin B.

    My friend found this little Taiwanese cafe in LIC for a quick bite and we devoured their popcorn chicken and dumplings. Their popcorn chicken was so crispy and crunchy and my favorite was the basil aioli we had with it. Chicken dumplings are also so good but I would pass on the veggie ones (they were too seaweed like for my taste). Fast and speedy service and they serve Boba!

    I came here recently and I am so happy to know that it is still delicious and the employees are still friendly and welcoming. I was so happy that they were still selling their shaved ice and that is what I ordered. I made my own and I am still thinking about that shaved ice; it was so good. I put passion fruit on it with some condensed milk and a coupe of other items. Then I ordered the dumplings which were as delicious flavorful and juicy as I remembered. Everything was great and yes they are worth the trip to Long Island City. The place is nice and has a couple of tables and the place is open. I would definitely come back to try other items or go to their other location.

    Sharon H.

    Solid place for beef noodles or a rice bowl with chicken cutlet. Reasonably priced and it's good for a nice hot meal but it's nothing special either. I would say most of the reviews are incentivized but they're pretty good. Good amount of seating and a clean bathroom.

    Shoestring fries, Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and Yumpling Trio with basil aioli
    Joe P.

    We were in Long Island City for a Yelp boba crawl event and as luck would have it, Yumpling was one of the stops on the crawl. Lucky for me because I had always wanted to come here for their yumplings and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Unfortunately the Yelp event only included a free side order of shoestring fries with any order. I was thinking Sam the community manager knew me so well because I needed something savory to offset all the sweet bobas and teas. We ordered the yumpling trio do we could try their pork, chicken and vegetable yumplings. It comes with a dipping sauce and I was going to get the spicy mayo but when i told the order take I wanted a spicy sauce, he suggested the basil aioli. The chicken itself had a nice kick as well, and the combo was pretty good. The yumplings were good as well and reminded me of homemade Korean mandu dumplings because the wrappers are thicker and chewier than typical Chinese dumplings. Unlike mandu, these are topped with chili crisps and scallions, which I really enjoyed. Are they worthy of being called YUMplings, which should mean they are better than other dumplings?? They are good but I think I have to say no. I am a sucker for soup dumplings and pan fried mandu dumplings. I just have to bring chili crisps next time I go for other dumplings. Of the trio, liked the pork ones the best. The shoestring fries were thin and crispy as you would expect but nothing special. They did have boba too but since we were having so many others that day, we did not want to use any stomach space for that here. There are not a lot of tables so would not come here with a big party to sit and eat there. But if you are doing takeout, maybe open the containers if you get the popcorn chicken or fries because the texture of those are very nice and crispy, and it would be a shame to have them lose those characteristics by keeping them in closed containers.

    Half & Half Yumplings
    Paula L.

    The place isn't really inviting, but there's a few tables to sit and eat. All of which were filled with people eating noodle soup, fried chicken, shaved ice treats and dumplings. Everything looked yummy. Friendly and fast service. I placed an order for pork & chive dumplings to go. chili oil on the side. I wish there was another choice of dumpling sauce. The dumplings are delicious and don't really need the sauce, but it definitely would add that extra touch to make it over the top delicious

    Beef noodle soup
    Jeremy P.

    The beef noodle soup here is one of the best I've tried in the city. The broth is really good on its own, but it comes with this hot mala oil that is so spicy but so good. I had it on the side and only used a tablespoon or 2 in my soup. The noodles are thick and al dente. I wish they had better utensils for the soup. I went here for a quick dinner and it was the perfect place. This is more of a fast casual place and you order up at the register, but there are an about 7 two person tables and a stools. It wasn't hard for me to find a seat to dine in. I did notice that most of the people that ordered did take-away. The person that took my order in a mask was so welcoming and nice. I was really impressed by their level of service and their dedication to keep everything tidy in the restaurant. Even just making sure chairs were pushed in. Most likely a one off, but the only thing I didn't like was how the chef came out abruptly and how they spoke to one of the staff assembling the orders. But I also didn't like how the person assembling the orders were wearing headphones. I don't know how this has become standard, but if a customer can see you, I don't think you should be wearing any headphones on the job.

I wouldn't recommend the Karaage, and heres why. Traditional karaage is usually double-fried, resulting in a light, cripsy exterior and ;juicy interior. Unfortunately,this version was quite oily, with a thick coating that seemed undercooked in some areas. The chicken itself is greasy and overly salty, which took away from the experience. In fact, I would rather have chicken nuggets from McDonalds than order the karaage here again. 3 stars.

I love getting it with pumpkin croquettes, but I've also gotten it with pork cutlet, chicken cutlet, with and without melted cheese on top, and honestly all combinations are great. The portions are perfect so I never leave feeling too full but I always leave feeling extremely satisfied. I've had the bao buns too, each type, and they're all so good. The beef gyudon is my favorite, but I've gotten it with teriyaki chicken too and that was also great. The waitstaff are pleasant, even when I bring my two screaming kids with me into their tiny restaurant, and they always have a smile ready. They don't even say anything when my 2 year old throws his entire cup of water on the floor. They just quietly come over and clean it up (while I apologize profusely), and they even bring a new cup of water over. Great place. I go at least twice a week. Couldn't love it more!

One bite is enough to send a novice spice eater to their grave. But that's why I love Xi'an Famous Foods so much. There is not a single item on the menu that you won't enjoy. I've tried a variety of dishes, all of which I've loved. Their pickled cucumbers are both refreshing and flavorful. Their thick flat noodles with your choice of meat are wonderfully saucy. Their dumplings, stuffed with either lamb, pork, or beef (you decide), were even more so drenched in sauce. Their "burgers" (not the American kind, mind you, so don't come here expecting something you can get from Shake Shack) had a satisfying flaky bread with wonderfully juicy cuts of meat. Sure, Xi'an Famous Foods is spicy, but it's not merely the type of spice that is all burn and no flavor. Xi'an's dishes are so full of umami that you'll crave days later.

You can order at their register or self-service kiosk. There are only around 4 barstool/counter seats, so please note that this isn't necessarily a sit-down restaurant. You have the choice of less spice / regular spice for dishes than include sauces, but I opted for regular spice. The spicy & sour spinach dumplings definitely had a kick, but wasn't too overwhelming. The hand-ripped noodles were chewy and very filling. It did have bits of cabbage, but I wish there were more veggies to round out the noodles. It could definitely be split between two people - again, it's a VERY filling dish since it's 85% noodles.
