Hidden Dumpling House Midtown

The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. They didn't skimp on ingredients. Our fried rice had plenty of shrimp and chicken and was a meal within itself. The dumplings were so good (but I love XLB with malted vinegar, and theirs did not come with that, but that is a minor comment). The eggplant was so scrumptious, some of the absolute best. One thing about their food is it wasn't greasy at all. Service was great, ambience is very nice. The only "problem" is the place is super small, so seating will be cut in half if it's not nice enough to sit outside. We came at an off-peak time and it was crowded, so I would imagine long waits if you show up at peak times. Definitely coming back though!

Really solid soup dumplings. The skin was thin but didn’t break, and there was a good amount of broth inside. Flavor was nice and clean—not too greasy. Came out hot and fresh, and the portion was decent for the price. Would definitely order again.

I’ve been to the midtown location multiple times and food never disappoints! Green beans and won ton soup are a must! Portions are big so we always share and even then have left overs. Ate our hearts out and took stuff home, all for $75. Location is vibes. I love that it’s small and cozy. I love that you can see into the kitchen. You can tell people put love into their food. Even the kitchen is super super clean! The service is definitely a flop but it would be unfair to give this restaurant less than five stars so I still gave them five stars because the food and the people cooking the food truly deserve it. When you come there, Expect to wait about 15 minutes before a single person comes up to you to ask you for your drink order. They forgot to bring out one of our items and we asked multiple waiters in regards to it and each one of them kept forgetting it when they would come back. My husband had to get up and come up to the cash register and ask for it. But service aside, we will be coming back for the good food!

First visit for lunch. Arrived right as they opened at 11:00 am. It was so cold in the restaurant I had to go back to the car and get my sweater. I asked for the temp to be adjusted but couldn't do much as it was an open kitchen. So they are concerned about keeping the kitchen cool but not customers comfort. That aside, the food is good with generous portions. Combined we had Orange Chicken with fried rice and "chow mein", Chow Fun with fried tofu and Egg Flower soup. My companions liked both the Chow Fun and the Soup. My Orange Chicken was very good but the Chow Mein had no flavor. It was just a large portion of large noodles with a few strips of cabbage in it. I added a little soy sauce but it didn't help. I would order all again except the Chow Mein again. Very good service. I do recommend this establishment.

Ordered honey walnut shrimp, general tsao chicken, fried wontons & calamari. Everything was delicious except the calamari, it’s quite disgusting and disappointing. The menu was very appealing, I’ll definitely order again in the future but staying as far as possible from the calamari.
