My friends and I stumbled across this gem. The food was so good. We all had combo plates. The Mongolian beef and Sesame chicken were so good. The meat was so soft and tasty. The portions were big. The employees were so nice. Nathan was so attentive and helpful. We appreciate him taking the time to make us some good hot sauce!

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.

went to Hidden Dumpling House Midtown with my friend last week, and honestly it was such a good experience. The staff were really nice and attentive the whole time, not in an annoying way, just super warm and welcoming. We ordered a few things to share, and everything came out hot and fresh. The dumplings were definitely the highlight super juicy with a really rich broth inside, and the wrapper was soft but still had a nice bite to it. We also got noodles, and they were surprisingly good, chewy, well-seasoned, and had that slightly oily, garlicky flavor that just makes you keep eating even when you’re already full. Portions were pretty big too, so it felt worth the price. Overall it just had that comforting, casual vibe where you can sit, eat, and chat for a long time. I’d definitely go back again.

Finally tried Hidden Dumpling House after hearing so many good things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The beef fried rice came out in a huge portion and was packed with flavor. Plenty of leftovers which is a win for us. The kung pao chicken had just the right level of spice, and I appreciated how generous they were with the vegetables and portion size overall. We also ordered the xiao long bao, which were a standout. The dumplings were juicy and satisfying, but what really pulled it all together was the ginger dipping sauce, so good. Overall, great portions, solid flavors, and definitely a spot I’d come back to.

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!
