Food is great but who carries cash around these days! No credit cards! so go to the ATM first before you place your order.
Alex Ortiz
Awesome place! Best place for soup dumplings. We always order scallion pancakes, rice cakes with beef and one of each kung fu, crab and loofah dumplings! The food that comes out the kitchen always looks amazing and tastes as good as it looks :)

De li cious. Get the pork belly and xiao long baos.
Shelmun Dashan
Everything was delicious and prepared quickly. The staff was great. The scallion pancake was light and crispy and perfectly savory and a little sweet. The signature dumplings were delicious. Complimentary tea :-)
Jasmine Jones
Delicious soup dumplings, courteous service. Quiet atmosphere even when mostly full, so great for a casual lunch and conversation. A bit pricey but it was a quality experience.

We enjoyed the food here. Everything tasted amazing but our favorite was Scallion Pancakes. If you're in the area, definitely check it out.
Jared Roseman
Moderately upscale and quiet atmosphere. Shredded pork with chili was quite good. Recommend.
Vanessa Ling
The best XLB in the city. The quality has been consistently high and their service has improved since their early days. Xiao long bao skins are thin and delicate while containing a whole lot of soup - more than any other XLB I've come across. Worth the trek, bring cash!

This is by far the best kung fu franchise.
Ernest Jew
Tasty, thin skinned, soup dumplings. Came out steaming hot and the crab roe flavor was evident. Pork pan fried noodles had wonderful sauce. The pork and veggies cut nice and thin to match the diameter of the crispy noodles that absorbed the sauce.

Unfortunately, it's very unpleasant that if you leave a tip between 10-15% the staff would literally run after you and demand a higher tip. Also unfortunately that the place is cash only. Food-wise, the place is on point and they know how to make good dimsums and other dishes, delicious and fast. But the owners need to train their employees to not chase after customers and demand higher tips.

It's a first for me. Over all it was a new beginning of flavors and taste. Would I go again absolutely.

We came here based on a review for Nutella Dumplings. We went ahead and had a full meal. Needless to say, we weren't disappointed. Our entire meal was awesome. Just keep in mind this is a Cash Only spot. There is a ATM next door.
James Han
Get an order of a number one & four. Soup dumplings and Nutella chocolate banana filled dumplings are worth it!
Tami Gamliel
Omg. We ordered a ton, service was fast. Everything was really really good! Try the chocolate Xiao long bao for dessert! The scallion pancakes we're perfectly crispy! Definitely order family style.

Fast service. Good food. Generous portions.

Soup dumplings heaven! A place to visit if you love soup dumplings! Made to order!Location: It is located in Main Street Flushing. The restaurant has few seatings inside, the interior is okay a little small, probably 30 seatings. The front desk is to narrow that you have to stay outside to wait.Service: they were okay, I ordered to go so I didn’t really have interaction.Food: I ordered 3 flavors of XIAO LONG BAO here. KUNG FU: it is pork soup dumplings, it was tasty and delicious! CRAB MEAT: my favorite! You have to order this cause it is so delicious! LOOFAH: combination of pork and vegetables, same taste as Kung Fu.Price rating: 7/10, one order is 6 pieces, kinda small tho.OMG I will definitely go back here to try their other food! Definitely try CRAB MEAT XIAO LANG BAO!

Their XLB is as awesome as advertised. The hainan chicken is good. Spicy wontons are good, though XLB is still better. Was recommended to try a pork dish that unfortunately had MSG, have to remember to ask them for each dish not to have MSG.
Michael Newman
Excellent, best dim sum I've had.
Zafar Abdullaev
Loved this place. food is delicious that’s why it’s always packed. We had dinner 6 people with kids. Order hot sour soup, noodle soup, kung P.O. chicken , sweet&sour chicken, broccoli and etc. service quick and efficient, price is reasonable because portion u get on big plates. We have really enjoyed it. I had no time to take a picture because good was tasty.
Jonathan Oustaev
Best pork soup dumplings in NYC hands down.
Claire Weche
Great soup dumplings and crispy beef. cash only.
Steve Olp
In the world of over hyped XLB's Kung Fu stands above the rest. Love the pan fried dumplings and the crab as well but the pork Soup Dumplings are the winner here. The spicy tripe and beef scallion pancake are can't miss items as well. Definitely eat here and enjoy yourself! Less during the week as the weekends get crowded!
Greg Woo
Big fan of this place on the outskirts of Flushing. Reasonable rates. Great food. The xiao long bao is thinly veiled and soupy. The shanghai pan fried noodles are very good too. Cold dishes like wine chicken were very good.
Emilio Sanchez
Great food. Act a little shady when your not Asian.
William Kan
Good soup dumplings, but make sure ypu bring cash they don't take credir cards.
Sophia Vourdoukis
Holy food perfection batman! This place was fast, polite and hands down the best Chinese food I've ever tasted. It was well worth the trip into Flushing. I tell everyone I know about this place. Put down whatever it is you're doing and go now!
Eddie Liu
Xiao long bao was great! I wish I could have tried more flavors but this place is CASH ONLY and the ATM across the street closes at 5 PM. There's a Chase ATM open slightly longer that's a 7 minute walk north of here. Y'all would make a lot more money if you got a little Square reader or something!
Cindy Ng
Excellent soup dumplings (xlb) and pan fried dumplings. A bit more expensive than other nearby places serving similar dishes but good quality food.
Jane Leung
Their soup dumplings are good here. Tried their dumplings and was good too. Their hot tea & cold tea are also very good. My friends & I tried their seafood soup. If you like spicy this is for you. It was too spicy for me. This isn't a very big place so off hours to dine here is better.
Jay H
Averaged food but way overpriced. $14 for a fried rice and $12 for noodle. How do you justify the high price given its location? The owner needs to wake up.
Astro Boy
We ordered a dish, it comes with extra hair, I mean more one or two, it's like someone in the kitchen really need to worry about becoming bald

Good food good service

Could be the Best soup dumplings in NY. Still searching for the best. The one in Taiwan is still the best.
Jacqueline Jin
Been here a few times with my friends and the food is average. But after today, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone at all. I came here today since my car was being worked on at the shop across the street, but never coming back again. The moment I finished eating my dumplings, the waiter placed down a check and asked if I wanted my spicy beef tripe wrapped up. I was contemplating on ordering more dumplings but decided otherwise after the whole check ordeal. To make it worst, the restaurant was literally empty and when I went to the bathroom, the waiter was chilling on a chair with his phone. That's cool - if they don't want me as a customer, I'll just make sure my friends, family, and I never come back.
Steve Chang
Free food to all. Bright lively place. Gets busy on the weekends for dinner. Cash only is my only gripe.
Kent Olgen
Excellent. We have been going there for almost 8 to 10 years, and we still love the food.
Mike P
One of the tastiest Chinese spots I’ve been to (I used to work in Chinatown, and this beats almost all the places there). The food was very fresh, and it came out in a very reasonable time. The staff was very friendly. The prices were reasonable, too!
Bayti
Have always loved the food here and service (quick). Sometimes wait can be long, given that the restaurant is quite small which I didn't mind. The soup dumplings' skin are very thin which is my preference because it doesn't fill me up quickly and I can have more dumplings or other foods. However, my recent trip there, they had rushed us out because there were other customers waiting for a table. We had 10 people so we were constantly ordering. It wasn't like we were sitting there chatting. Thought that was a bit rude.
Steve M
Delicious food. Parking can be tough at peak times but it's worth it. Service is usually good but sometimes it seems like it can get spontaneously busy and it's hard for the wait staff to keep up. Pork soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and spicy wontons are amazing.
Koshy Cherian
Best soup dumplings I ever had. Food clean and fresh friendly service. Cash only.
Monica Guevara
Xiao long bao was excellent and competes with some fo the best since the skin was appropriately thin, held a lot of soup and the pork dumplings in particular had a good flavor. The pork dumplings were tastier than the crab dumplings due to the stronger flavor and bolder soup. We also tried the beef roll, Dan Dan noodles and pork dumplings with hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup option worked great as a contrast with the pork. It may be the best item ordered.
Marla Powell
Fresh, tasty dim sum faves, soup dumplings and more. Everything we ate was perfectly prepared, from the the hot, crispy scallion pancake to the steaming pork soup dumplings. The dumplings were delicate, well-seasoned and melt in your mouth delicious. The atmosphere is low key trendy; service was prompt and efficient. Ample parking nearby.
Daut Berisha
Good food, only dowside: cash only restaurant. So make sure you hit the ATM ahead of time.

Jayson Fitzgerald
I certainly love their dishes and customer service, good location close to my house. The employees are always very nice. Will come back again.
Jackie Dew
A bit on the pricey side but more than delicious enough to make up for it. Got the signature xiao ling bao (soup dumplings) and the texture was better than others I've had before. Also got pork dumplings in soup and that was also quite yummy. The only thing I didn't like was the the fried turnip balls which were kind of stringy and not very tasty. Just be aware- this place is cash only! There is an atm next door in the grocer :)
Ariana Bian
Service is always responsive and polite. The XLB are a must have!
Antara Bajaj
This is a restaurant that deserves a solid 4 stars. Service, quality, authenticity and ambience are nice. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the music does not match its ambience and the menus were faded and very hard to read. Also, their was no air conditioning. The food came quick. A good tip I didn’t know was that they were only cash so bring money!
