- Jaimee EstrellerDecember 16, 2015I could eat a whole order of the pork soup dumplings by myself. I mean, you're here for them, do it. And then split the crispy pork noodles and scallion pancakes. Great prices too.
- Tianqi LiaoNovember 8, 2017It's a shame they no longer offer soup dumplings. Instead you get these pan-fried finger baos, which are equally as good or even better because the portion is manageable.
- Terri RDecember 23, 2018Spicy XLB and dan dan noodles were great! I also really enjoyed this pork appetizer (can’t remember the name but it was under the cold appetizer section of the menu).
- CatherineJanuary 6, 2015How to eat soup dumplings: carefully place the dumpling on your spoon. Put a little hole on the dumpling and drink the soup that leaks from it. Then finish the rest of the dumpling.
- Cole KennedyAugust 28, 2019If you’re here dining solo, which you probably shouldn’t because that’s not the vibe, you should get Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao and Dan Dan Noodles.
- Valentin GuerinJanuary 15, 2018Don’t listen to the hype, this is just your typical Chinese restaurant with higher prices. You came for the soup dumpling? They don’t do it anymore. You want a Bao (bun) they don’t do that either...
- Barb LeungOctober 21, 2016Consistently terrific. The soup dumplings have a delicate and thin skin that burst to reveal a delicious broth. If you're here for lunch, the specials are generous in price and portion.
- Gianna NebbiaSeptember 9, 2018Everything was fabulous- don’t be intimidated by the extra extra spicy XLB- they’re perfectly spicy but not over the top. (Kung pao chx and scallion pancake pictured, both so tasty)
- What's Good HereAugust 5, 2014Order the pork, pork & crab, & super spicy soup dumplings and eat in that order. The pork & crab are favs, but the spicy is also very flavorful with its inclusion of Asian chili sauce.
- Qian SunAugust 27, 2017Recently they started serve some cute original hybrid Bao, a mix between juicy Bao and Shanghainese style pan fried Bao. Food portion very small...😳
- OMG They took Xaio Long Bao off the menu! Sadly, no other reason to come here now. Ciao beloved Bao!
- The soup dumplings here are to die for - for two people, get three orders of those: regular, wasabi, and kung fu (spicy). Pair with the scallion pancakes with beef and a couple of Tsingtaos.
- Ashley ChanJune 3, 2017Great place for comfort Shanghai food. The Kung fu (original) XLB is addictive & their large plates are very reliable and not over-spicy. They have some interesting XLB flavors such as wasabi & choc!
- TeresaAugust 23, 2017They won’t have soup dumplings back in the menu until September or October. The business seems to be suffering without their signature soup dumplings!
- Ranu RajkarnikarJanuary 31, 2017Yes! Come for the crab soup dumplings and stay for the shanghai noodles and eggplant string bean dish. Need to try the scallion beef pancake next time. Delicious!
- Ray LinNovember 7, 2014Amazing addition to St Marks. The Xiao Long Bao (aka XLBs aka soup dumplings) and scallion pancakes are musts. The Shanghai pan-fried noodles and Mapo Tofu are also excellent choices.
- Yvette LiuJanuary 28, 2018Such a shame they don't have steamed XLB any more, it was their specialty!! The noodles are okay, but not sure if I'll be back since no more xlb...
- AmateurConciergeJanuary 26, 2015Crab pork soup dumplings are amazing. Love the pepper and eggplant app but would like to increase the number of peppers. Authentic chinese in a nice environment albeit surprising location.
- Laura ChinAugust 17, 2014The super spicy XLB don't seem that spicy at first. Five minutes later though, your lips will be numb and you'll be asking for a glass of milk tea
- Rewan PartiApril 5, 2015Scallion pancake with beef are the best dish on the menu. There crab and spicy dumplings are just order. They always have a wait!
- Raphael LangenscheidtAugust 19, 2015Great Chinese food in an surprising location amidst mediocre tourist traps. The dumplings are delicious and why I came here, but I stayed for the chili fried chicken and spicy tofu. Great spot.
- KatDecember 28, 2018Soup Dumplings are a must! It gets quite busy so expect a waiting time but its worth it. Everything from the menu was delicious! Dan dan noodles were amazing as well.
- Denise HeinsFebruary 5, 2016Spicy hot pot - great ginger flavor, massive variety and if you enjoy spice, it's a great dish that doesn't murder your taste buds. Was also very pleased with the scallion pancake.
- Serious EatsFebruary 12, 2015Delicate and delicious soup dumplings. Spring for the crab upgrade, which adds a briny touch to the juicy pork tinged with ginger.
- Sam HJanuary 18, 2015A bit pricey but the xiao long Bao is worth it! Order the first four on the menu for your table and you'll be good to go
- Kate FurmanApril 13, 2015Soup dumplings are so good here. Perfect ratio of wrapper to filling. Try the super spicy one, it's full of chili oil.
- yeah yeah the crab XLB are great (I personally like the ones at Shanghai Asian Manor better, they're fattier) but the scallion pancake and the crispy beef are where it's at.
- Emily L.February 26, 2015Xiao long bao done right. As an avid hot sauce eater, steer clear of the spicy XLB. It ain't a joke! And the noodles? Good texture!
- The don't serve soup dumplings anymore. It's called the Bao, and their logo is a bao, they just don't serve them, and haven't since August. Really disappointing.
- Benny WongAugust 17, 2014I'm writing this tip through watery eyes recovering from the super spicy soup dumplings. But so worth it though! Skins were amazingly thin
- Veronica ChanMay 16, 2018I suspect there was a change in ownership or kitchen staff because the food tastes different and the signature soup dumplings were taken off the menu 💔
- Michael VenzkeSeptember 16, 2017FYI no more soup dumplings! Something about the owner wasn't happy with quality, but they're no longer on the menu.
- Christopher AllbrittonJuly 24, 2015Like everyone else says, spring for crab dumplings. Outstanding. The spicy dumplings aren't as hot as you might think, but they will leave your lips a-tingle.
- J.R. ReedApril 21, 2019Kung fu bao, 5 kinds of dim sum, and scallion pancakes w/ beef are the standout items, complemented by decent Chinese food (crispy duck and pork buns)
- ShellyMay 4, 2019Scrumptious egg plant with string beans, wonton in chili oil, mapo tofu, and lamb with cumin. Fiery, served family style and beautifully plated.
- Sam WinnickMay 20, 2015Nice, clean restaurant with a good atmosphere. Order the Shanghai noodles they are out of this world.
- Dina RughaniOctober 7, 2015The baos! Try the spicy bao for a kick. The fried rice was good as well. Everything people were ordering looked good. Will definitely be back to try more
- Andrew WongJune 15, 2018Really diverse menu, soup dumplings are amazing. Chocolate soup dumplings are Nutella and banana. Will definitely come back to try other dishes
- Agreed. The super spicy soup dumplings are seriously delicious. The sautéed string beans are just right. They're doing a lot of things well so far.
- Gloria DumasSeptember 21, 2017Came for the soup dumplings but they "don't do it anymore" could've been a night ruiner-- order the bao dumpling instead (like mini soup dumplings!)
- NickDecember 4, 2015There are much better soup dumplings elsewhere. Try hot kitchen right around the corner. But the scallion pancake with beef is so delicious. It is ultimate asian comfort food
- Jennifer ROctober 1, 2016The soup dumplings and the scallion pancake with beef are outstanding. Get there early on weekends and be prepared to wait.
- Ina LiJanuary 4, 201510dollars for 6 crab soup bun. More expensive than the ones in Chinatown for sure but really delicious!
- Taiowa WanerMarch 18, 2016Soup dumplings were very good. We got a bunch of appetizer sized plates to split and went downstairs to Spot Dessert Bar for dessert.
- SerkoAugust 22, 2014I prefer their crab soup dumplings. Excellent and thin skinned with a nice clean flavor.
- Ranu RajkarnikarNovember 4, 2017They don’t have soup dumplings right now (maybe discontinued?) which is a big bummer.
- Dan WongMay 22, 2015Super spicy XLB is manageable! Give it a go, pairs perfectly with the Blue Moon beer.
- val herzogApril 28, 2016We tried almost every variety of soup dumplings and they were each so good, I would come all the time if it weren't so busy!
