Yumpling

The food is delicious super tasty, filled with flavor. Also great customer service very nice, I got the taiwanese popcorn chicken(which is a little spicy) and trio dumplings definitely recommend, i will be coming back to try more😋

Authentic Taiwanese food! Had to have their popcorn chicken! So juicy and crispy. Their beef noodle soup is also pretty delicious. Very generous portion of beef. Mango shaved ice is good. Probably the classic Taiwanese flavor is better. Small shop with several tables to sit down and eat. Very friendly service and quick food delivery.

My first time at this restaurant and I am impressed. I ordered the 8 piece popcorn chicken and a side of garlicy cucumbers 🥒 Both dishes were excellent. The popcorn chicken was perfectly fried. It was tender. The garlic cucumbers were very good. Not too much garlic. Perfect blend. I will definitely visit again and recommend this spot!

Yumpling is one of the more authentic Taiwanese restaurants that I've been to in NYC, and I do like to stop by for a nice meal whenever I'm in the area. The restaurant itself is a bit small and doesn't have the most seats, but the counter service and food prep is pretty quick, and table turnover is correspondingly quick, too. I usually order one of the bian dangs here -- I was admittedly a bit put off by the DIY nature thereof haha but got over that. I really like their fried pork chop (classic Taiwanese bento) -- nicely fried without being too salty or soggy -- and I almost always opt for the lotus roots for the veggie side (really crunchy and delicious). The braised egg was a particular highlight :) I've also had the lu rou fan before (another Taiwanese classic) and while it was fine, I did find it to be a bit salty/oily, esp as you get to the bottom of the rice. Price point is a bit high, but not too crazy for the neighbourhood/NYC in general. I also have seen them post some (maybe seasonal) shaved-ice-esque desserts (which look pretty authentic haha) that I'd love to try sometime!

Mediocre dumplings, nice service, very casual. I think their reviews rating is so high because they give anyone who leaves a good review a free drink. The dumplings were big, but had a lot of oil and the flavors were a little flat.
