"Right off of the Vernon Jackson stop, Yumpling is ostensibly a dumpling joint, but the beef noodle soup and zha jian noodles are must-trys. Tangy from the pickled greens, this rich, tomato and doubanjiang-based beef noodle soup is a standout take, with perfectly tender beef. The zha jiang noodles, generously topped with edamame and minced meat, also recall home cooking. Bonus are the small shaved-ice desserts, including the Taiwan classic with lychee, red bean, and aloe vera, best eaten in the shop before the made-to-order chipped ice melts." - John Tsung, Eater Staff
