Really liked this place. The soup dumpling was very flavorful and delicious. The spicy wonton was okay, I wasn’t a big fan of the thick skin but the sauce still made it very good. We also tried the mince pork with rice and spicy fried chicken. Overall a good experience!

Stopped by Little Dumpling on Northern Blvd in Queens for lunch and had a great meal. Started with the wine chicken and of course, the pork soup dumplings. The soup dumplings, despite the kind you get, are an absolute must every time you come here. Perfectly soupy and packed with flavor, that will really hit the spot. For my main dish, I had the Snow Cabbage with Pork Noodle Soup, which was super comforting and full of flavor. The noodles had great texture, and the broth was light but satisfying. I paired it all with a kumquat lemon green tea, which was cold, citrusy, and really refreshing. A perfect balance to the warm noodle soup and dumplings. The service was attentive without being overbearing, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The atmosphere was casual, and while there was a moderate level of noise, it was never too loud to hear the person sitting across from me. If you’re in the area and craving soup dumplings and a cozy lunch, Little Dumpling is always a solid choice.

Made a stop here heading out to Eastern L.I. Very glad we did . The food is good and the dumplings are delicious. Each dish was cooked with pride. You can taste the quality & efforts in each bite. My favorite was the pan fried beef dumplings, shredded beef with peppers, and spicy shredded potatoes. Our group finished everything that was served on the table. Nothing was left to spare. The price is very reasonable. CASH ONLY

Me and my family went to the little neck location. It was absolutely amazing. The host was super nice and welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting. The servers all worked together to give us a great dining experience. The food was AMAZING. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, pork fried dumplings, wontons with chili oil and peanut sauce, pork fried rice, and sesame chicken. The food was delicious. Can't wait to go back.
