Summer shaved ice is really delicious here
Love the name of the establishment! I decided to try the fried chicken sandwich and was so glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised at how juicy the chicken was. Loved the sauce that was on the chicken too...super tasty. I also got a side of shoestring fries and ordered a passion fruit bubble tea. The menu allows for customization of their specialty drinks, including choosing the topping, type of tea...and the sweetness level. I told the cashier that it was my first time there, and he answered my questions and was super friendly. I plan on visiting again soon and trying the dumplings next time. I recommend Yumpling. Oh, the establishment also has a restroom available for use.
Really liked the texture of the cold sesame noodles and also the taste of the fried pork chop. I think it was breaded really well but could be crispier.Dumplings were just ok, the dough felt kind of thick
Walking past & saw this place and the high reviews on the signage and figured I’d give it a try. I was disappointed to find out a dumpling restaurant didn’t have veggie dumplings. And when asking when they’d return that it would be awhile due to supply chain issues. I didn’t ask but I assumed they made their dumplings in house and if it’s stuck in a boat like she mentioned… are they frozen? I don’t know and have mixed feelings about that (not that frozen food can’t be delicious). But anyway, wasn’t interested in the pork ones on my visit. Decided I’d try some other stuff on the menu and it didn’t taste bad but I wasn’t impressed with my dish. My partner enjoyed theirs but also didn’t feel like for the price the flavors were stellar. But that being said, it didn’t taste flavorless and careless; they’re using some quality ingredients but seasoning on the subtle side which I def needed more. I’d really give this place food wise 4 stars BUT here’s where great customer service really lifts up a restaurant. My cashier was pleasant , friendly, and knowledgeable. Our interaction was so pleasant that’s why I even continued to order and she got me to make a sale regardless of not having what I wanted to try and I remember that all being so pleasant. In a city of often indifference, having great customer service really stands out and makes me want to go back, write good recommendations and endorse the restaurant. I’m definitely going to give them another shot food wise and try a sauce they make or just bring what I need in my bag with me (like I was saying it’s tasty, but subtle to me, and I like it a bit bolder!) the slow braised beef was certainly that, and was so tender. Rice was good. The cucumbers needed work to me a lot cause it felt really just like raw unseasoned cucumbers to me. Cold Noodle dish my partner liked but wanted more sesame oil and flavor but wasn’t like “I can’t/don’t want to eat this”. All in all I think it’s worth checking out and you’ll be the final judge. You won’t regret spending your money here, you just might want some sauce or salt on the side. Check them out! ? ?
Overall pretty good. Fried chicken sandwich was juicy and well seasoned. You get a big piece of chicken. Pork bowl was also super tasty. Everything was a little aggressively spicy in a good way. Nitpick is I could taste the oil it was fried in so maybe the oil could have been fresher?Dumplings were good too but skins were thicker than I like.I enjoyed my meal and would come back
Pork & Chive Yumplings - 8/10These dumplings were so good and they were STUFFED with filling. The chili oil was extremely fragrant and is made in house! It would have been a 9/10 if the price was slightly cheaper. But I think I’m biased because I make dumplings at home a lot, price is often a factor I take into consideration for dumplings. They are good though, and I probably will be back to get them again.Fried Chicken Sandwich - 8/10I loved this fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy and juicy, nestled between two soft martin potato rolls, always a win. But the shining star had to be the sauce. It was finger licking good!Fried Pork Chop Bain Ding (Rice Bowl) - 7/10The fried pork chop tasted great. It had a wonderfully crispy coating and the pork was juicy. There’s also some lu rou (braised meat) that was so soft and tasty. I wish there was more lu rou because it helped balance out the rice and pork chop.Basil Eggplant Bian Ding (Rice Bowl) - 8/10The egg plants were cooked perfectly and the spicy sauce paired wonderfully as well. With rice bowls I always need there to be a sauce because otherwise I find the dish a little dry. This eggplant had the perfect amount of sauce. I recommend the garlic cucumber as a side with this dish because it offers a nice refreshing break from the flavorful eggplant.Winter Melon Tea - 8/10My boyfriend LOVED this tea. He drank it so fast. I have never been a huge fan of wintermelon so he drank all of this tea but he highly recommends it. I would say the taste is similar to boba syrup.
Yumpling offers a nice variety of options to choose from and I love their basil eggplant bian dang and vegetable yumplings. Both items were outstanding! I love how they pan fry the dumplings, it elevates the taste to another level. The portions are huge and quality of food is consistent. Their garlicky cucumbers and passion ice tea are also delicious. The place is very clean and organized. Highly recommend this place and will be going back there soon!
The pork dumplings are always awesome. Their chili oil is to die for. Great pan fried crisp and love the chopped scallions and cilantro. Always a crowd pleaser!
Yummy chicky sando
My friends eat here quite often and told me to try it. They have a range of options, noodles, rice, dumplings, and more. I tried the chicken sandwich and really liked it. The chicken is fried and very thin and crispy. It is not overwhelming or thick. I am glad I tried it and will try and venture out to Queens again. It is also right next to the subway stop which is very easy to get to.
