DD Soup Dumpling

Don't judge this book by its cover. The signage out front and its proximity to the biggest tourist trap in the western hemisphere would lead any reasonable person to think this place would suck. And yet, it was some of the best Chinese food I've had in a while. Loved the soup dumplings, the pan fried dumplings and scallion pancakes. Really enjoyed the sticky rice shumai and the udon noodles. The service was excellent, even though it was a busy Saturday night. Will absolutely return next time I'm in the city.

we came here because of the late hours.service is very good, the staff there are very nice.i had the fried chicken udon. it was very good, but the portion was not very big. gerger had the chicken with broccoli, and it was little one-note. the egg rolls were piping hot and cooked well but not sure if they were made from scratch.overall a nice dinner experience.

This place is small, so we got a to go order of (D11) Shepherd's Purse Wonton soup, and (V1) Sautéed Baby Bok Choy w/ Garlic.Both were very tasty, and a good amount was given. Prices are reasonable. Packaging is good. Service was fast. No complaints!

Staffs were friendly. We had hibachi chicken, the chicken breast was a little dry but the veggies made up for it. There's a complimentary salad. You can watch the chef cook the hibachi around the table, we chose not to. The place was packed. When the had the check, it included the tip.Food: 4/5Service: 4/5Ambience: 4/5

I used to LOVE this place -- a go to after any Broadway show, but last time, it didn't hit as hard. The scallion noodles were way different (I'm hoping it was an oversight and they didn't change the menu) - typically there were fried scallions on top and room temp, this time they were soupy, no fried scallions and hot. Definitely less flavorflul. Also, the soup dumplings seemed too soupy (not enough solid meat.)

Came for a quick meal before a show. . I got seated right away and ordered a saporo. It was served nice and cold. Craving a XLB so ordered the crab and pork XLB. and Onion pancakes. The XLB cane quickly and the pancakes a fee minutes later. the bars were really thin skinned. i love them that way. Only issue is one broke cuz it stuck on the paper. It was full of soup and a generous portion of the crab and pork. I got full on an order. They charge 3% more if you use a CC, and they also charge a tip for even one person sitting.

Great soup dumplings in Times Square! Pleasantly surprised by how good the dumplings were. Chinese food and other dumplings good but it's all about the yummy Pork Soup Dumplings!!

BEWARE 18% tip for parties 8 and below AUTOMATICALLY added to your bill!!! 20% for 8or more. Kind of crazy seeing as how service could be bad and still mandating people to pay.Beef Udon Noodles 5/5Full of flavor and perfect softness. Best part of our mealSteamed pork dumplings 2/5FULL of water. Almost like they were taken from freezer to be steamed. Way too much water came out of them when I popped them in my mouth. Chicken fried rice 3/5Came out super dark, so right away I thought it was going to be salty. To my surprise, it wasn't, but actually lacked flavor. Chicken was tough.Service 2.5 of 5They never once came to check on us. We had to flag them down whenever we needed something. I'm sure they don't care about service since they're gonna add tip to bill regardless. Don't like that practice at all. You should work for a tip and they definitely did not, In my opnion.Total was $75, tax was $6 and the gratuity was $11. Again, the service was sub par so don't expect great service when coming here. Food was mediocre. Service was bad, but don't worry you'll end up paying for it anyway!

Tried this place while visiting NY, just happened to walk by and said let's try it! Thankfully we did, I think about these dumplings all the time. If you're looking for dim sum style or dumplings this is the perfect place. Ate here twice on the trip and will go back again if I ever go back to NY. The shrimp dumplings were phenomenal - my favorite. Staff was very nice, they gave us a little ipad and we were able to browse the whole menu and pick all the things we wanted to try.

There is just one sentence that this business needs as an endorsement:If you call yourself a soup dumpling place and your soup dumplings are better than Din Tai Fung then you deserve all the praise.But I'll add. Fast service. Close to Times Square and the subway. Friendly service. Good prices. Highly recommended.
