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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Yumpling is amazing and I highly recommend to anyone coming by this area or hasn't checked it out yet!!! We had an order of the pork and chive Yumplings- AMAZING. And they are so hearty with the meat so it can fill you up. I recommend ordering another dish along with the dumplings though to balance out the flavors. I ordered the chicken Bian Dang (rice bowl). And it is SO worth it. Not only is the chicken soooo crispy and flavorful, but the chicken is placed over lu rou (braised pork) and the mix of flavors is HEAVENLY. Service is pretty quick. There is limited seating but the Gantry park is so close so bring your food over to the waterfront and enjoy there!! The wait for the food went pretty quickly too, and the food is served fresh and hot. My boyfriend enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich, and he ordered as side of the lotus root chips, which tasted like potato chips, with a good amount of salt, just prettier :) Yumpling, I am definitely coming back to you!!! read more

I got delivery from Yumpling and I'm so glad I found it and can't wait to dine in. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Bian Dang bowl and it was absolutely mouth watering. It came with fried chicken over Lu Rou fan (which is a braised pork belly over rice) and you can choose the sides (I chose the garlic cucumbers). It also comes with half a hard boiled egg that was cooked to perfection and some pickled veggies. The chicken was perfectly crispy despite having been take out (which just makes me imagine how crispy it would be coming out fresh for dine in). It's been 3 days and I'm still thinking about this meal and can't wait to get it again. Would 100% recommending trying them out! read more

We were trying to find a nice shaved ice spot in LIC and came across Yumpling. The shaved ice with shaved ice, mango, condensed milk, and brown sugar syrup was cold, refreshing, and delicious. The yumplings were crispy, rich, and saucy while the pork chop bowl had so much flavor and spice to it (not as in spicy). And even though I am a fries person, I think I would put lotus chips ahead of fries. Everything complemented each other so well, and I will be coming back here. read more
i used to go to yumpling all the time when i worked near rockefeller center back when they were still a food truck. i always got their dumplings and their fried chicken bian dang. it didn't occur to me that they would've opened a restaurant until my partner recently re-discovered its existence, and i was excited about trying them again. the restaurant is a casual place very close to the 7 train. there's not a lot of seating inside, i think they do a lot of takeout business. service was friendly and they brought our order to our table, which we weren't expecting. we ordered popcorn chicken, lurou fan and the pork dumplings. everything was pretty tasty, although the pork dumplings were a lot saltier than i remembered - too salty imo. i really enjoyed the popcorn chicken seasoning and the basil aioli it came with. lurou fan was also good but not spectacular. i wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but it was still very good for fast casual. wish they'd open their food truck again in midtown - would be such a great lunch option! read more
Really good Taiwanese food. The fried chicken is done well here- my girlfriend and I really enjoyed the Fried Chicken Sandwich and Crispy Chicken Bian Dang. The namesake Pork Yumplings were also great. Everything is loaded with flavor. The restaurant is small and there's limited seating, so great for takeout. We came during a busy time (weekend lunch) so the wait was a bit long, but the staff were nice and gave us continuous updates about our order. Also didn't mind waiting because the food is that good. read more
We decided to visit the Taiwan fest as a way to support our people and culture. As always there were long lines and wished they're were not good choices. We were starving so we decided to hop to Yuning since it was close by and they have menu items that were at the fest. The place is not large with about 6 tables and counter/booth. It is not a plebe to longer when is busy as others are waiting for tables to eat. Around 4ish, the restaurant was pretty busy. It was like Taiwanese fast food. You order, sit, then wait for food arrival. We decided to go with the popcorn chicken with basil aioli, pork & chive dumplings & lu rou fan (minced simmered pork over rice). The cashier & server was quick to take our order, thanked us & let us know he woul bring the food to us. The wait was short and our food quickly arrived. Everything was hot, tasty with lots of flavors. The popcorn chicken is with right amount of salty/spicy, crunchy, & comes with fried basil. The dumplings were juicy with spicy xo sauce & lots of cilantro & scallions. Fragrant! What I most enjoy is the lu rou fan. It was good balance of meaty & fatty pork belly, simmered in it's known Taiwanese marinate sauce, half soy sauce egg, and sauce- drenched rice. My only let down was I wanted a whole egg for the amount of the meat & rice. Overall it was a delicious late lunch to satisfy my cravings for comfort Taiwanese food I called home! If I'm in the area, definitely coming back here! read more

Yumpling is such a great spot in LIC for casual/takeout Taiwanese food! It's not super cheap but the prices are reasonable for the area and the quality. Even though it's named after the dumplings, I was more impressed by the other food. I personally thought the dumplings were okay although I'm very particular about what I like (I like soft and steamed over these ones which were pan fried and thicker dough). The cold sesame noodles were shockingly good and around $12. The noodles look like normal noodle but are VERY chewy ("q q"). The sesame paste is thick but not too thick and coats the noodles well with strong sesame flavor. They were some of the best noodles I have had. Additionally, the popcorn chicken was some of the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken I have had. This was the mild seasoning with the Asian bbq sauce which literally tasted like an Asian chick fil a sauce. Chicken was so juicy and crispy and seasoned so well. Next time I want to try their beef noodle soup and pretty much everything else they have! It was $37 for these 3 items and you can either sit down at a table or take to go. The employees are nice and the food comes out quickly. Loved Yumpling! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a dish of pork an chive dumplins in medium spicy. They were really delicious, the wrapping was superb, and the meat was properly made, tender, fresh, and went well as the dumpling overall. This place seems amazing place for dumplings as the name suggests. Definitely coming back here for more in the future :) read more

Came by on a Wednesday around 11:45am and service was quick. Ordered the Basil Eggplant rice bowl and it was delicious! Sauce had a nice kick to it and paired well with the edamame tofu salad which balanced the savoriness of the sauce. Also really enjoyed the half a soy egg and shredded mustard greens that was complimentary. Good portion size for the amount you pay. read more

excellent and super friendly service! has the beef soup and chicken rice bowl and half & half yumplings!! chicken yumpling was so good. read more
I had to go to the doctor and stopped by this place and bubble tea here is very fresh especially their tapioca. Very warm and soft tapioca! Good thing about it is you customize sugar and ice levels so I made sure it's 0 down in sugar and ice! Store front looks cute and very modern and welcoming. Somewhat of a medium vibe where it's noisy but not so loud. read more

Super nice place to grab a quick eat with friends or for yourself. The mild taiwanese popcorn chicken was really good and crispy, but it was hella spicy, so if you can't handle your spice, I would recommend getting no spice. The basil aioli is a unique touch. The pork and chive yumplings were super good and juicy... lots of flavor. The chili oil is a must. Service was super quick too! read more

Beef noodles (4/5) Noodles themselves were chewy and fun to eat, and the broth had just enough flavor without being too salty. Dumplings (4/5) Good amount of filling plus they're lightly fried which was a nice addition. The sauce wasn't spicy either and gave great flavor. Pickled Lotus (4/5) Super delightful to have in between bites of heavy foods. Overall very tasty meal and appropriately portioned. Won't be disappointed! read more

Fun spot for casual family fare. Lots of families with kids, and service was friendly. Food was served up hot and dumplings were tasty. I'd advise you to ask for them to hold the chili sauce or to put it on the side if this matters to you. read more

Went to get a shaved ice and left with the entire menu! This place is amazing. The shaved ice was to die for. So fresh, so fruity and the option to customize. The customer service was amazing. We didn't have a clue what we wanted and they were so patient. Our shaved ices were brought to our table. We ended up ordering rice bowls to go with all the toppings and all the sauces because....why not! read more
Came in to a beautiful clean restaurant with a relaxed vibe. I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken which had huge chunks of chicken that were seasoned to perfection. I also had the passionfruit bubble tea with lychee that I absolutely loved read more

Been waiting to check out this place out since I moved to the area, and was not disappointed when I went! The chicken in the Crispy Chicken Bian Dang was so crispy and well seasoned. I loved how you could pick a side to balance them out! Service was also great, and love how there is fresh water for free. Seating is also just first come first serve, and they bring out the tray of food for you. The dumplings are a MUST. So well seasoned and texture was perfect!! read more

The food is really good here. It's a bit on the expensive side in my opinion because this is Taiwanese street food. Yeah, it's considered a novelty here given there aren't many Taiwaness restaurants. All their dishes deliver, but my only complaint is I've never had it FRESH. It's always already made and semi room temperature to warm. I would loveeeee to come in as they just open and have fresh, HOT fried dumplings that were made 30 seconds before i walked in for once. Never happened. read more
Food A Had the beef noodle soup The soup tastes great, as do the noodles, as does the beef- and they put a good amount of beef pieces in there Service A+ Ambiance C+ Casual spot; nothing to write home about, but fine Music's a little louder than I'd like, so I wouldn't come here if I'm on lunch for a zoom meeting + that they have outlets to charge your phone at and water to drink read more
My friends and I were in NYC for Lunar New Years and had found this shop through a Yelp Elite event. Honestly, so thankful and glad that we got accepted and introduced to this cute little restaurant. The inside of the store is not large, but it has a lot of roomy seating. They have a beautiful "grass/leaf" backdrop with LED lights that say "Delicious Vibes Only" - with booth seating along the wall, and some high tops overlooking their glass wall. [Food: 4.2 out of 5] I really wish I could give this a 5 out of 5, but the // Yumpling dumplings were.. not what you would expect from a dumpling shop. It wasn't the best item I had there, and I probably wouldn't order that again... BUT I did have very delicious OTHER items that were to die for! // Beef Noodle Soup : 5 of 5 : it was a chilly day when we came, and the Manager helped us pick out this dish. He said it was one of the top customer picks, so of course we had to try it out. The soup had a lot of meat pieces, (we shared this bowl among 3 people)- the noodles were cooked well, and not too chewy and not too hard. We also got the additional Mala Chili Oil and it was spicy, and tasted home made even. The Mala Chili Oil was the highlight of the whole dish; we were very tempted to even ask if they sold that in jars! // Spicy Popcorn Chicken: 4 of 5-- served with either Basil Aioli or Spicy Mayo // Popcorn Chicken: 4.5 of 5 -- The basil aioli was fresh and tasty. // We also tried a bunch of their drinks, and my personal favorite was one of their apple flavored drinks. The staff was very helpful and super friendly, and like I mentioned, the shop is so cute. I can't wait to be back in the area so I can have their Beef Noodle Soup again, and to try other dishes! read more
