Came across the great reviews for this quick spot so decided to try it out. The service was super quick but brief. It was empty when we went in but there was high top seating which was inviting. The person who took our order at the counter asked us if we were dinning in or taking it to go so we opted to dine in. Once the food was ready, we got it in to go tins without the lid. This was all fine but made me think about the insane amount of plastic wastage. The food was okay, the noodles were good - slightly over heated which made them a little mushy. The scallion pancake was incredibly greasy but flavorful. The vegan dumplings were really good. The soup was saltier than I hoped but nonetheless good.

Great lunch option. They have a limited selection, but what they do, they do well. The staff is lovely, but the inside isn't meant for sitting down. Grab your food, go back to your desk kind of feel.I loved the dumplings, but I was pretty bummed when I watched them take a scallion pancake and reheat it in a toaster oven. At least they didn't reheat it in the microwave!Would still go back.

Delicious and fast - fresh dumplings that are healthy and good value. I had half and half of steamed classic and vegan dumplings. Both were good - the vegan one surprisingly flavorful with fragrant pepper oil. Pickled napa cabbage was a refreshing side though a bit too sweet for me. Great spot to get a quick bite around Penn Station.

Came here for dinner and had a great experience. Despite it being in midtown, this place seems like a "hole-in-the-wall" kind of place.My friend and I ordered the pick-two on the dumplings (we did the chicken and wonton) and the pulled pork bao. The service was quick and the food was delicious. I've never had bao before and I was certainly impressed. The prices here are SO cheap, I was amazed.I had a great experience and would definitely be back.

Quiet atmosphere with only counter seating so not where I would take people to sit down but very quick for takeout.I came here with my foodie card for the 10% discount but they would not honor it so I am pretty disappointed. The dumplings are basic but are cheap enough and good for a quick plain hot meal. The deserts all look skippable. I am incredibly disappointed by their scallion pancake which tasted like hard overfried dough with minimal vegetables. If I could go back in time and change one item i've ever ordered or eaten it would most definitely be that awful scallion pancake (and they're usually my favorite). This is why I changed my original 3 star review to 1 star.There is no restroom and they do not play music.

I made a catering order with them for my job and the delivery was prompt which is a huge plus. We ordered a pan of all of the dumplings and the scallion pancakes and everything was delicious! My team truly enjoyed everything.I really wanted to give it a 5-star rating but when I was eating my edamame, I found a caterpillar inside and that kinda took me out of it. I know this isn't an everyday occurrence and they couldn't have prevented this but it was still difficult to go back to eating after almost biting into the bug.Don't worry, I won't post the picture of the caterpillar.

Super casual and cute spot to grab a quick meal. Upon entering, the menu and photos are on display on the wall, with a little bit of seating. There is a front counter for ordering. I decided to order the Braised Pork Chop over Rice and Fried Shrimp Potstickers. The pork chop was made with scallion sauce, with a side of pickled napa cabbage. This was quite tasty. The pork chop was tender and full of bold flavor, while the rice was perfectly cooked. The cabbage was a fresh touch. Shrimp Potstickers had a lovely crispiness and the shrimp was juicy and succulent, but I didn't like the water chestnut that was in it. On my way out, I got a Chocolate Chip Mochi Cake to go. I enjoyed this, but it didn't look like the photo, which depicted it to be much more thick and fluffy. The actual mochi cake was thinner, served warm, satisfyingly sticky, with yummy melty chocolate throughout. If in the area, I might return to try the Braised Beef over Rice with daikon, carrot, and sweet potato, as well as pork or vegan dumplings.

I got the 6 pork soup dumplings. It wasn't the classic soup dumpling I expected but delicious and perfect for a quick snack nonetheless. Highly recommend this spot if you want a semi-quick lunch or snack. They have quality food at a decent price and it didn't take as long as a sit down restaurant but took long enough where I know they didn't just microwave them. (Boba isn't from here but they didn't mind my outside drink which I was grateful for)

Stopped in here fresh off a train and looking for quick, but delicious eats. This spot definitely delivered! Made to order potstickers of various flavors, great scallion noodles and a refreshing take on edamame in a light wine brine
