    We ordered several dishes on January 10 and the beef broccoli had a curly metal wire in it. Husband called the restaurant to complain and was told the boss was not there and they refused to give a refund for the dish. Unbelievable! We were loyal customers to the restaurant and usually order take out there 4-5 times per month. We had received wrong dishes before but ate them anyway because it’s no big deal to us. But a metal wire in food is not acceptable because it is dangerous especially when you have young children eating it. We definitely will not go back to this restaurant anymore.

    One of the best hole in the wall places I've been to by far for soup dumplings. My friend and I were craving something comforting and delicious after relaxing at Sojo and found this gem. It not only had soup dumplings but an array of other delicious items! So the way it works they give you the menu and a sheet with the items listed on them. You select how much of each item and they take the sheet from you. I want to say within maybe 10 minutes of sitting down we were greeted and got our soup dumplings. Then after that we got the rest of our food. We got the soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, spicy fried rice (not overly spicy which was good), need and scallion and purse wonton soup. I will definitely come back again! There's free parking underneath the place. It's located in the shopping center and they accept credit card.

    Fried shrimp is good and Pan fried pork buns are recommended. All other dishes taste sweet like for western people, not for Asians.

    Delicious xiao long bao! Brings back memories of Flushing! Both the pork and pork/crab were excellent. The other dishes that we ordered were okay. Next time we will order only dumplings and maybe the lion's head meatballs, which I liked. From the street you may see their back door which looks sketchy and should be renovated, but the main entrance is through the mall and the inside is fine.

    We ordered several items from the menu. Our favorite was soup dumplings! Hot served, delicious. Parking is on street or in garage next to the place.

    Honestly, this place may be one of my new favorite spots. The soup dumplings are incredible, the pan fried pork buns were delicious, the pork udon dish was really good, but that General’s Chicken was the best I’ve had anywhere to date. So crispy on the outside, but still so juicy and fresh inside. I’ve already recommended this place to a slew of people. Can’t wait to go back!

    First time trying it and overall loved it. Food taste: 4.5 - we ordered soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, general Tso chicken, and egg plants. I would say the dumplings were definitely delicious and rest of the dishes were good. They all came out extremely hot (temperature) and just made it all better. Service: 4 - service was generally fine, I asked for 5 glasses of water and never got 5 even though I’ve reminded them twice. Yes, we did have 5 people with us 🤣. It was during busy Friday dinner time and knew they were busy. Overall I would definitely visit again and recommend it.

    Flavorful and tasty! Love the rice they use. Was on the side of our eggplant in garlic sauce, which was a sweet and sour sauce, as opposed to the normal garlic and oyster sauce I typically see. The same rice was used in the Hong Kong fried rice and was an excellent side to the flavor packed eggplant. Pork Xiao long baos (steamed soup dumplings) had a thin skin with lots of soup and pork. Pork pan fried dumplings (baos) had one of the best bao buns I've ever had with great pork. Both well seasoned and delicious. All the food looked delicious I other tables and look forward to trying more.

    Xiao Long Bao is the only thing in our order that I think is tasty and juicy. Other dishes are very disappointed, without much flavors or using very artificial seasoning. Overall quite disappointed…

    First time here, loved the hospitality and quickness of service. Now down to the most important part, the food!!! Favorite: Beef pancake - magically delicious, a must have, crispy, tender, perfectly sweetened to go along with the beef and just mouth watering. I enjoyed the shredded beef with chili and the soup dumplings. I enjoyed the crab with pork soup dumpling the most. If we get the shredded beef with noodles again, I would order that alone, it is good, and the portion is super filling. Husband and I ordered more than we can eat, on the good side, well, se took all the leftovers for dinner hahaha. All in all, loved it, def coming back, bringing my peeps and try other items on the menu.

    Very slow service and charged my credit card $10 more than what the online portal showed as my total.

    Throughout the many years that I’ve been coming here, Soup Dumpling Plus has always been the best tasty Chinese food for the inexpensive price that they charge here in Fort Lee. Staff is professional and nice, food comes out hot and fast. BYOB, and I really have nothing to complain about. They menu haven’t changed for as long as I can remember, which I guess it’s a good thing since you can expect that they know how to cook them best. Still the best soup dumpling in all of NJ in my opinion. Check out the whiteboard with specials on the wall outside the restaurant and maybe something new is here that you can try. You might want to come off hours since dinner time and sometimes lunch times on weekends will be quite a wait. Parking is available in the basement area of the building and if full, street metered parking is available too.

    Really friendly & helpful staff. We were last customers but they served us as if we were the first. The food was delicious and fresh. We had chicken & broccoli, general Tso chicken, fried rice, Lo mein, soup dumplings, fried noodles with chicken. I would go back again.

    I had Soup Dumpling Plus on my list for years, and when I finally made it, I have to say it was worth the wait! Everything tasted delicious and fresh. The highlights of the show were the Sesame Chicken, Garlic Eggplants, Scallion Pancakes (both with and without beef), and the Baby Shrimp Fried Rice. As a non-pork eater, I opted for the vegetable buns and unfortunately they were my least favorite part of the meal. The service was great - very attentive and the items were delivered quickly. The manager stopped by the table a few times to check in and was very friendly. The price was great! For four people, we ordered a total of 8 dishes to share and 3 drinks. The total before tip came to just under $90 which is amazing for the amount of food we got - we even took some home because we were stuffed. Overall, everything was great and this restaurant was a great value for the money! Definitely worth returning to!

    Customer service and wait time is horrible here. Whatever they promise, add 30+ more minutes for food or seats.

    Really good, authentic soup dumplings, scallion pancakes and other dishes. It was very busy and the wait was half an hour, but it was definitely worth it. It was also great value with large portions. We had lots of leftovers. I will be back.

    We mostly come to this restaurant for their soup dumplings, which is outstanding. But most of their other dishes are ordinary. Among those I do like the sticky rice shaumai. The lobsters dishes are worth mentioning too. Another positive is free parking at the basement of the building. Must give props to their interior, they have a wall of comic/anime characters’ toys.

  • 5/5 Meisha K. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful food, and of course, the soup dumplings are THE BEST outside of Chinatown. The scallion pancakes with beef are also delish!

  • 4/5 Meredith W. 3 years ago on Google
    Large amounts of food. Good soup dumplings but nothing extraordinary. Nice staff and clean!

  • 1/5 Pinkybelly H. 3 years ago on Google
    Disgusting food, not fresh. Previous worker and cook claimed this restaurant put chemical substance into the soup dumplings.

  • 5/5 Sophie K. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Chloe 1 year ago on Google
    I LOVE this place. Not only was the food out of this world, but the prices were great, the portions were huge, and the service was A+. There were no leftovers! If you ever visit Fort Lee, check this place out!!!

  • 5/5 Michael D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is seriously really good and worth the wait. You HAVE to get the soup dumplings (duh) The service is amazing and very fast, these people will always make sure you have water in your cup. Please don’t be annoying and take forever to figure out what you want to eat, you’ll only make the line and wait longer for everyone else. I’m definitely coming back here for sure!!

  • 4/5 Isaias T. 11 months ago on Google
    I love coming to this spot! The soup dumplings are always amazing and reasonably priced and the staff is very nice! It's mostly family style dishes so keep in mind that when you order a dish it's a large dish so the table can share! We had soup dumplings, cold jellyfish salad, pork lo mein, pork buns and scallion pancakes.

  • 5/5 Pinar O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good, no wait around late afternoon. I somehow liked the mushroom bun too. Huge portions, I couldn’t finish and let them pack the remaining for my friend. Will definitely be back when I am more hungry, good price, portion, quality ratio!!

  • 5/5 Yesabel L. 6 months ago on Google
    Soup Dumplings Plus is a hidden gem for dumpling lovers! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make dining here a delightful experience. The star of the show, the soup dumplings, are a must-try. They're perfectly steamed, with a thin, delicate wrapper and a burst of flavorful broth inside. The variety of fillings caters to all tastes, from classic pork to inventive veggie options. The rest of the menu is also worth exploring, offering an array of Chinese dishes that are equally delicious. Prices are reasonable, making it a great choice for a satisfying meal. Don't miss out on this culinary treasure!

  • 5/5 M C. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is definitely a home run. No more going to Mott Street. Cozy little spot. Just remember not to go to the kitchen entrance ,enter through the mall. Andy and his team were excellent hosts. The food service and atmosphere AAA+

  • 5/5 SOKUNANNYA O. 8 months ago on Google
    There is gonna be a few minutes wait. This is place is always busy. The food come out pretty fast, recommend start looking at the menu while waiting, and then order right away when you get the table. The soup dumplings is a must order. I personally love the hot and sour soup. The fried rice taste a bit bland. Sesame chicken taste quite good.

    I recently dined at this restaurant, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. First and foremost, Amy, our server, was fantastic. Her warmth and attentiveness made the meal even more enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the soup dumplings. They were, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. The delicate balance of savory broth and tender meat made every bite a delight. And for those craving a bit of spice, the beef noodle soup with chili sauce was a revelation. The bold and fiery flavors combined perfectly with the tender beef, creating a memorable fusion of tastes. Overall, Soup Dumplings Plus exceeded my expectations with Amy's impeccable service and those unforgettable soup dumplings. I can't wait to return for another round of culinary bliss. Sorry I have no pictures of the soup dumplings. They were to good

  • 5/5 Michael T. 8 months ago on Google
    Great & Fast Chinese restaurant! The Beef Noodle Soup w/ Chili Pepper is my favorite dish and I can’t find it anywhere else. The Pan Fried Pork Buns, Pancake w/ Sliced Beef, Tofu Skin w/ Cabbage, Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce, and the Mapo Tofu are some of my families favorite dishes. This place is just great simple Chinese dishes. Have been coming here for 3 years now! Highly Recommend.

  • 5/5 Mike R. 5 months ago on Google
    Ask for Amy as your server she is the best, very friendly and excellent service every time. If u want to get your spice fix in this is the place. Pork dumplings, Beef with Green chili peppers. Bok Choy will get u there. Spice levels are on point here. Prepare to get a full body warm up and break a sweat if u get #35 on the menu.

  • 5/5 Leonardo Hernandez J. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is incredible! I've been a regular for years. The food and service are always top-notch! Amy and the rest of the staff are so dedicated and make sure you leave satisfied. I highly recommend eating here! 🌟👍

  • 4/5 Danny C. 3 years ago on Google
    Side dishes are not worthy of the soap dumplings. Creamy sweet thin wrapper on the soup dumplings. So far the best soup dumplings in NJ. Street parking free after 6pm. Entrance is through the mall. First level, towards the left.

  • 5/5 Jason 3 years ago on Google
    Food here is great. I usually get delivery and they're always really quick. Really happy I found out about them.

  • 4/5 Dennis W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little find.... Hard to find, but the search was worth it. Food was very tasty and authentic. Go for the pan fried buns, steamed mushroom and vegetable buns, and soup dumplings. The regular shrimp & pork dumplings were not as great... But overall, the menu items above par. Service is a bit brusque, but The place was very busy when we visited for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Entrance is inside the mall, there is no street entrance.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Cactus J. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was pretty good. The beef was a little chewy. And I wasn't a fan of half pork/shrimp dumpling. Had a weird texture. Overall it's ok.

  • 4/5 Sneha V. 3 years ago on Google
    Don't get me wrong, the food here is AMAZING! But I had an underwhelming first experience here in terms of customer service. The flavors are perfect and food hits you right at the spot -- I'd definitely go there over and over again if I could. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars though is because my first impression of the restaurant was really sad and sort of frustrating. The place was too crowded and they didn't have enough seats, so to make extra seats, they placed some seats on the outside and it was really dirty and conjusted. It was really upsetting because it was a special occasion and we got the bad, unwanted spot -- like as if we didn't matter. Our seated spot was disorganized, loud, cold, and unclean. I've posted some pictures for reference. Thankfully, the food made us forget our poor customer service. Next time, I'd suggest you make it clear to the servers that you'd like a spot inside the restaurant.

  • 3/5 George C. 3 years ago on Google
    It did seem that the quality of the food in this restaurant has been deteriorating since we were there before the pandemic. Hopefully it will get back to "normal" soon.

  • 5/5 B A. 3 years ago on Google
    I wish this star rating system was more detailed because I’d honestly give this place a 4.8-4.9/5. The minor issues I had weren’t enough to take away an entire star, but was enough to knock off some points. The restaurant is easy to find inside of the Fort Lee plaza mall. There was plenty of metered street parking (or pay by phone) and it was a late Saturday afternoon. You start by going to out your name and party amount on the list, and they even have it marked with an estimated wait. Our estimated wait was about 30 minutes but at most we waited 15. There are plenty of ways to view the menu while waiting including on the giant poster and scannable QR code’s. The young lady at the front desk was rather short with me and rude, which is where this place lost points for me. However, they surely made up for it. The servers were soooo friendly and hospitable. They were almost like mind-readers and always available when we needed something. We were brought water and ginger to cleanse our pallets right away. For ‘appetizers’ we ordered the beef scallion pancakes and spring rolls. Both were AMAZING and so fresh. I tend to be very critical when it comes to food. The only critique I have is that the spring rolls were slightly fried too hard, but it didn’t take away from the flavor or add a burnt taste. I doused them in the house chili oil anyway, which made them taste even better. The main star of the show: the soup dumplings, were to die for. The broth was slightly sweet and they were also super hot and fresh, so you could take your time eating them before they got cold. They were truly cooked perfectly. It was my first time having soup dumplings, but they were absolutely divine. Again, I highly recommend using the chili oil provided on the table. It just makes everything even better. We also ordered main entrees which were the chicken and broccoli and the chicken and peanuts. The chicken and broccoli wasn’t anything special and is a safe option if you don’t want to venture out. The chicken and peanuts was absolutely delicious though! I asked them to make it spicy and it wasn’t too hot, but more of a flavorful spice. Even with the chili oil it wasn’t too bad. One thing I will say though is that the entrees need a bigger portion of rice. You can always order more, but especially if you plan on sharing- order more rice in advance. The price wasn’t bad either. For all the food we got and the size of the portions, we could’ve done a lot worst. It was about 65$ for two huge shareable entrees, 3 rounds of soup dumplings (18 dumplings), 2 appetizers, and 2 canned sodas. I was so impressed I left a nicer tip than usual for that price. I am happy to say I will gladly become a regular at Soupdumplingplus. Next time, I’ll remember to take pictures before scarfing it all down.

    Soup dumplings are the best. Other dishes are very good as well. Very nice people!

  • 2/5 Hupi R. 3 years ago on Google
    Downgrading to 2 stars for very slow service, as in takeout was not ready 30 minutes after the promised time window (20 to 30 minutes; so counting from when I placed the order, it took over an hour to get this Chinese takeout). Food itself was not bad.

  • 5/5 Aki 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As the name suggests, the Xiaolongbao was insanely delicious! The fried rice was close to the Japanese seasoning, and my husband was impressed. I also had a dish of fried eggplant and chicken, but the chicken is tender and the eggplant tastes good. Chinese restaurants in the US went to various places including Manhattan, but maybe they like it the most. I think the price is not very high and is medium. I want to eat ramen next time. (Original) お店の名前通り、小籠包がめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです!チャーハンも日本の味付けに近くパラパラで主人も感動していました。一品料理のナスとチキンの炒め物もいただきましたが鶏肉が柔らかくナスも味がしみてて美味しい。アメリカで中華屋さんはマンハッタン含め色々行きましたが1番好きかも。値段はあまり高くなく中程度だと思います。次回ラーメンも食べてみたいです。

  • 3/5 Joan C. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered bockchoi dish but they gave me sauteed cabbage . The skin of the vegetable and mushroom dumpling was not fluffy like before, it felt like leather. I ordered 22 dumplings and they did not provided any soy sauce or ginger.
