Super Taste

Amazing, wonderful, beautiful, outstanding. I have not stopped thinking about these noodles since I’ve put them in my mouth. I got some kind of spicy noodle with no broth, and boyfriend got dan dan noodles I think. We also got the dumplings as an appetizer. Everything was OUTSTANDING. We came around 8:00 on a weekday after a huge rush, and they still were able to put love into their food and get it out in a timely manner. The guy at the front was awesome and a great people person. They also had some really delicious beverages! I’d recommend to anybody I love. This place was amazing.

My friend and I picked this place because it was close and we were drawn to prices. The food was 5 stars. I got the biang biang noodles and she got the stewed pork over rice. I liked how thick the noodles were and it got more and more tasty as I got closer to the bottom because all the sauce was really concentrated. My friend enjoyed her simple yet comforting pork. She says it was very hearty and the soft boiled egg was the best part of the meal. The service was also very good. I overheard the Johnson at the counter taking time to chat with his customers. I could see him leading his team and hustling to serve each bowl of noodles. The atmosphere was clean and simple. I’d definitely go back again!

Ambiance (5/5): The small interior can seat 4 parties (1 table being larger to fit 8). I thought the inside was brightly lit and clean. No frills in décor. Service (N/A): I ordered at the kiosk by the front desk. The staff was friendly and no issues with the order. Food (5/5): I only ordered 1 dish which was the Burning Noodles. The bowl is a heavy portion of noodles and a pretty good amount of flavor-packed meat and sauces. I ended up eating it take-away about 45min later so it was my fault that the sauce had congealed. However, the taste profile was still spot-on! I plan to return to try their other dishes! Returned again in a week. Got the Dan Dan and was also equally tasty. Authentic Chinese taste. Nice spice level and def coming back for more!

Omg! Their name really live up to their food! Their food is tasty! We ordered beef noodle soup and it was incredible! The noodles were chewy, just how I like it, the beef pieces were generous, tyht broth was so flavorful and their chili oil was spot on! My friends also ordered dumplings and they were huge portions! Worth the price!

Tried their biang biang noodle with beef for $13.95, I would not recommend. The noodle itself was not “biang-ing” at all, the texture was more like overcooked pasta, the flavor was lacking and the sauce was starchy. I had to constantly add their side chilli oil and vinegar to add flavor and make it taste better to finish this bowl. Beef quality was on the fatty side, hard and chewy, not much flavor either, and beef were in minced style and little in the bowl. Came here for a quick bite after seeing the high reviews on Google, and yet Google reviewers failed me once again.

Made a quick stop here and absolutely loved it. Got the Burning Noodles with pork & pork sichuan style dumplings and both were delicious!! The team was really lovely and the food came out quickly. I usually struggle with spicy food but despite the 3 pepper symbols, I found the Burning Noodles to have the perfect flavorful kick without me breaking a sweat 😂. Will definitely be back & recommend this spot to others!

It deserves its high ratings. We were looking for good chinese food and chose Super Taste based on the Google ratings. Customized, proprietary sauces are super tasty. Steamed dumplings were the best I have had in years. Homemade noodles were exceptional. One suggestion--mix your protein (mine was pork) into the noodles and sauce. It really unlocked the flavor. Service was unprecedented for such a small place. First class, excellent suggestions, superb responsiveness. Highly recommend!

This place is so good!!! We couldn’t get enough of the Dan Dan noodles (with pork). We drank all the broth. And the fried pork and chive dumplings were so addicting. Great value, two of us shared this and were full. Extremely friendly staff as well.

Yum. Got the dan dan noodles and they were delicious. Absolutely fire. The beef noodles were also good Good for take out Incredible staff More of a eat and go place Very affordable for manhattan -- less than $20 tip included

I really really liked my noodles it was a great portion size not too small and not too big. Dumplings were good but the broth was amazing I drank it separately. Also you got 10 dumplings for $10 I thought that was a steal! 100% add the chili oil and mature vinegar to your noodles. Service was extremely quick and the ambiance is similar to a quick grab and go place with a couple of tables to sit!

Hole in the wall spot for noodles and dumplings. I had the Dan Dan noodles ($13.50) with chicken and a side of pork and chive dumplings ($7.95). The ramen was flavorful and delicious. My only complaint is the amount of chicken and it was kinda bland. The dumplings were your classic dumplings, nothing special but hit the spot. Overall a nice spot . 6.47 / 10

Amazing food -- and exceptional service, great value. I spent ages ordering ( fortunately at an odd time so no one waiting behind me) . I wanted unusual ( but not too unusual) , spicy ( but not too spicy). Everything patiently explained. Took it home and WOW!! Only downside-- even though it was an ample portion-- I ate the whole thing because it was so good.

This place is amazing I'm so glad the UES has a location now! The OG Super Taste is in chinatown and is very popular with stellar dishes, and this branch is no different. I got the burning noodle with pork and it hit all the right spots. The noodles were chewy with good texture with the generous portion of pork. I also got a taste of the chicken dumplings, which was very good! A generous size dumpling, definitely don't sleep on this. I also met the owner, who was friendly, helpful, and overall nice person. Definitely will be back!

I'm so glad they have a location in UES! It's quite small and more of a grab-and-go place but they do have some seating. You can either order at the counter or on a touch screen (which is always a nice option). I got the pork biang biang noodles which were cooked perfectly with the right amount of chewiness. There is a little spice to it, but had just enough heat to get the taste buds tingling without burning them. I will definitely be back! My friend loves the pork burger here, so that is definitely on my radar.

I'm sooooo disappointed in this meal! I had fried dumplings and vegetable- the fried dumplings were very very very fried (are they deep-fried?! They are also made "open" (see pic, and all the others') for whatever reason, so the juices are out and the oil is in, ugh); the vegetable ones were completely overcooked and mushy; I had them in-store. Which is very friendly! (Super Taste?! More like Oily Soggy Taste! ) The fillings were unsurprisingly bland, due to waterlogging/oil-logging. I'm not understanding these other reviews. Have they had these foods before?! Honestly I'm not that particular in dumplings since I love them ALL!!! (OR so I thought- I guess I draw the line at bloated/bland/overfried/soggy ) I've read so much about this, and was so excited this shop arrived! I'm afraid to try anything else now.

While at work and nursing a slight hangover, I was craving something with fat and spice, to help soothe my belly. The reviews looked promising so I ordered delivery. I wanted their veggie dumplings pan fried but unfortunately, they only offer them steamed. It was nice that someone from the restaurant gave me a call to let me know and see if it was OK with me. When the food came, I appreciated the care they put into packaging my food. Everything was neat and tidy. I ordered their burning noodles with beef and their veggie dumplings. The flavor of the noodles was OK, not as spicy as I expected, but good. My only hangup with them was that they needed more sauce because by the time I received them, they cooled down and everything was a clump. I couldn't separate the noodles and mix everything together so that all the ingredients could get incorporated. The dumplings have a great filling ratio but I was disappointed that there was no dumpling sauce. They were quite plain tasting, especially since they were just steamed and there was no pan browning. I hoping that was an oversight and that they do usually serve their dumplings with sauce. Not sure if it'd order again, considering that was a pricey lunch and I wasn't that bally with it.

Super excited to come to Super Taste (haha sorry). I was very excited to eat some noodle soup as I hadn't had it for a long time. I came in and was worried that there wouldn't be seating but there was plenty of seating as people are continuously coming and going. I ordered the Hot & Spicy Beef Noodle Soup via the kiosk and it was pretty good. I appreciate the tenderness of the beef as well as the bok choy that soaked up all the flavors. I think the broth was a little bit too spicy for me but that's probably because I'm just weak and spice intolerant. Next time I come, I will try the Stewed Pork Burger as I saw that there were a lot of raves about it online. Overall, not a bad Chinese food place in UES. Also, the owner is incredibly nice and friendly - he gave us some hand sanitizer when needed some.

With the opening of other dumpling shops around the neighborhood, I think this one stands out. The quality of the food and portions are superior in comparison to its competitors. I would definitely recommend their fried dumplings. I also tried out a stewed pork rice dish which was hot, tasty and filling. This may be my go-to Asian spot near the workplace! I think it's important to support these small businesses so make sure to get your dumpling fix here.

Great dumplings at a great price (yes it is a bit high but also you get a ton of dumplings), this place fills a food gap that the UES needed to fill. The staff was very kind too. Their fried dumplings have a unique shape that resembles a taco. The fold at the top accentuates the crunchiness, while the open sides allow for steam to escape, maintaining the texture better. Apparently this shape is a family-original style, which is very cool.

Authentic Chinese dumpling and noodle spot from Chinatown joins the upper east side to fill the cultural void that is this neighborhood (sorry) with a gem of authentic Chinese flavor. RATING 8.3/10 PRO TIP: Do not! forget to dress your dumplings in chili oil and vinegar bc this brings it to the next level. The white gourd tea is also quite delicious. STEAMED DUMPLINGS Freshly steamed, nice chewy exterior, pork interior - it's everything that a Chinese dumpling should be. Is it the best dumplings in the city? No, but it is super authentic and around here that's hard to find. Yes, the price is quite higher than the Chinatown location but it is still cheaper than everything around the neighborhood and is authentic!! This is coming from a Chinese person living in the UES. HOT AND SPICY BEEF NOODLES Super flavorful and bold, pretty good as far as this type of chinese beef noodle soup goes, and I grew up eating this. Great chew on the noodles. Warm with a mild heat to spice up your day - nothing too overwhelming. Great savoriness in the broth. FINAL RANKING: GREAT (terrible / bad / ok / good / GREAT / excellent) Welcome to the neighborhood super taste, hope you stick around!

Delicious cheap food! Friendly service too. We came right when it opened at 11am on Monday and there were a couple of tables available, and we didn't need to wait too long for the food. It did get a lot more crowded at around 12pm though, so we're glad we came early. We ordered the Pork Burger, Soy Sauce Egg, Beef Stew, Soybean Noodles, Panfried Dumplings, and Steamed Dumplings. - Soybean Noodles: My favorite thing we ordered. Noodles were chewy and fresh. The soybean paste had a great flavor and wasn't too salty. - Steamed Dumplings: Not bad, but nothing outstanding. Wouldn't mind ordering again if I wanted dumplings, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to get these dumplings because they're just basic good dumplings I could find elsewhere too. - Panfried Dumplings: Also not bad. The filling tasted a bit saltier than the filling of the steamed dumplings, but it may have been from the dumplings being panfried and the skin having less moisture to balance with the filling. - Pork Burger: Good flavor, but it was a bit too dry for my liking. The pork was fatty and the burger buns were fairly thick. Overall, I would return for the soybean noodles. I know a lot of Chinatown don't have reusable plates and utentils, but the only thing that keeps me from returning here more often is this place relying on single-use plates and containers. It's basically an order-first, take-out only place with tables inside for dining.

I love Super Taste in Chinatown, so when I heard they were opening an UES location I was ecstatic. However this menu is more limited than their OG location. So I'm giving them 3 stars instead of 5 because the pork and chive dumplings at this location are $7.95, compared to the $4.95 at their OG location.... What we ordered: - Steamed pork and chive dumplings - Spicy beef noodle soup - really good/tender beef - pork noodles There are 4 tables inside, but it's definitely more of a takeout place.

Having tried the location in Chinatown, I'm very happy that they opened a branch on the UES. The menu selection here is more limited compared to their other location but still offers most of their classics. My go to is the hand pulled noodles in hot and spicy soup. It comes with a good amount of marinated beef in an extremely flavorful broth and the the noodles are quite chewy. The service is solid. Overall I would recommend.

It's hard to recreate the Super Taste from Chinatown, but at least this UES one is cleaner, newer, with some self-ordering technology, and of course a higher price adjustment. I'd say the number of seats is similar, but for some reason, could be just in the head, the taste doesn't match up to the one in Chinatown.

Small store but big flavors. The dumplings here are magical. The staff is very friendly and serves your table if you order in. Not too many seats, best for small parties. Food is lightning fast. I recommend you order the additional spice levels because they're very mild. Priced fairly considering it's in UES. I wish I lived closer to this location. Would return if in the area!

Had nice lunch here. Johnson is very helpful with recommendations and also any modifications to menu items (e.g. level of spice). Limited seating but nice condiments available (black vinegar, additional spice). Etc. Recommended! I'll be back!! Restaurant adding chicken dishes next month

There aren't many items on the menu, and if you're not into crazy spicy food, it's even more limiting, but for what IS on the menu, this place is excellent. If you don't know what something is or need help, the staff are very attentive. Get a soup, pork baos, and some dumplings. The environment won't blow you away, but it's a great addition to the neighborhood.

Super Taste's second act on the Upper East Side lives up to its Chinatown origins, and then some. The atmosphere strikes the right balance between tradition and modernity, without being overly fussy. The Pork Burning Noodles don't disappoint. The noodles are texturally perfect, and the Sichuan sauce delivers a complex heat that resonates rather than overwhelms. The Sichuan-style dumplings are another win--meaty, juicy centers encased in a balanced skin, all swimming in a nuanced, spicy sauce. But let's cut to the chase--the Veggie Dumplings. Exclusive to this location and recommended by the owner, these were THE highlight. The combination of veggies is masterfully executed, offering a surprisingly complex flavor profile. These aren't just a nod to vegetarians; they're a standout dish that could convert even the most devout carnivores. PS: try the white gourd drink - weirdly refreshing - and a super unique taste I haven't had anywhere else.

What an awesome addition to the UES. If you want some of the most flavorful, authentic dumplings, and noodles ever, then you must run to Super Taste. Not only was the service phenomenal but the food was insane. Quite possibly the best veggie dumplings I've ever had. There are options for meat, eaters, vegetarian's, and everyone in between. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

So glad this noodles place has opened on UES! This is an easy quick meal even with a few friends. The decor is simple. There are a few tables. Most people do take-out, so I was able to sit-in and eat my meal. Can finish eating in 45 minutes. Order at the counter or the kiosk big screen. It will take about 15 minutes for the order to be ready. If you don't eat spicy, then that narrows down the menu. I tried the beef noodle soup ($13.50) and the pork belly bamboo noodle soup ($13). Reasonable price especially for UES. Both were good. The pork belly will have some fat on it. Wished it also had some veggies. The beef one are slices of beef and has some bok choy in it too. The noodles are nice and chewy. If you leave it longer in the hot soup, it will start to get softer the longer it sits. Drinks available in cans are soda, water and herbal tea.

So glad they opened in UES!! I like their steamed dumplings (more than Vanessa's dumplings). Their service and condiments (chili oil) are better too! Vanessa's dumplings charges you for chili oil. Will be back to try more things on the menu. They are real competition for Xians famous foods, Vanessa's dumplings and Brooklyn dumpling shop. Place has 3 tables that can seat 4 people, and 1 table that seats 6. Neat and well lit.

Ordered dan dan noodles, dumplings and baos for take out and very happy with it. If you're a fan of spicy food, I recommend asking for extra spice. Noodles were cooked well and broth was great. Dumplings were great - skin wasn't thick and stuffed well. Baos were nice and fluffy. Lastly, I'm fairly sensitive to salt and nothing was overly salty. All well seasoned.

A long time Chinatown Lanzhou institute has opened another operation on the UES. The menu is more limited than the OG location, but still a welcoming entrant to taste authentic flavors without a trip to Chinatown. The owner's son is managing this location. Just glad young generation to taking the torch from the parents. The dumplings are of course their strengths, but don't sleep on their soup noodles (meat and some vegetarian friendly versions) would be perfect when the weather is cooling down. That menu options are similar to Xian Famous Food, but I get more home cooked meal feel from this venue.

Excellent dumplings and noodles in this small storefront. You can eat in, though the arrangements are casual - plastic utensils, and you just eat out of the serving containers - but most people are picking up for takeout. We tried the steamed pork dumplings and the burning noodles. The dumplings are excellent. They are not served with a dipping sauce, but you can easily create one from the chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce on the table. The burning noodles were not particularly spicy, their name to the contrary. You can opt to add more heat and next time we probably would. They're very tasty with great chewy texture and a lot of different flavors going on. We enjoyed this and will be back.

Dropped by Super Taste on 79th St. and first Avenue. I ordered the Dan Dan noodle which to my pleasant surprise, was not as spicy as I thought it would be. The noodles were just right and the soup, Very tasty. The dumplings, you get 10 per order - crispy and the seasoning for the pork was flavorful! Of course I had to try the bao. I took a bite, and again, seasoning, just right. It's a nice little place and I wish it lots and lots of success we need a place like this!

I love love love Super Taste! It is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. I love that they have vegetarian options. I always get the vegetable dumplings, chili oil bamboo, and shallot oil noodles. The portions are generous for the price. $9 for 10 dumplings is excellent for this neighborhood. Their vegetable dumplings are some of the best I've had.

Tried this last night for the first time. My wife sent me there cause she knows what I like. And as usual she was right. The food was great. Had dumplings and pork buns. The young owner told me about how he and his dad built out the place themselves in large part then invited me to try their new chicken dumplings which will be making their first official appearance during the marathon: "We think we have the recipe perfect at this point" he told me. Well sir, you are correct - that was my favorite. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Came here because of TikTok (like most people). The BEST affordable eats in Chinatown.

Food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the pork burning noodles, sichuan dumplings and veggie dumplings

Excellent food and service! try hot and spicy beef noodles and their dumplings. Taste like handmade.

I ordered a takeout Dan Dan noodles and pork dumplings. Both were delicious and the service was excellent.

Really tasty and made with a lot more care than I expected. Super cute little spot with excellent staff.

On Chinese New years we came with higher wants but low expectations and left incredibly happy. Delicious food, well made, and great portions. Especially for the the cost. You can't go wrong

Service was great and food came fast. The dumplings were fried perfectly, the meat was tender and they were great all around. They were especially good with vinegar and chili oil. The portions were bigger than expected. Would definitely come back again.

I am obsessed with this place, new favorite noodle place in UES and I like it better than Xi'an famous. Pork buns, beef noodles, Dan Dan noodles, Sichuan dumplings are all my favorites. Noodles are chewy, but best if eaten in store. More expensive than Chinatown location but still the cheaper food option compared to other places in UES. Wish they could have the wide flat noodles here soon as well!

Food is good. Pork dumplings are incredible and very affordable But high quality. Get them fried. Sauce is great

Absolutely love this place! Most of the times it's crowded but it's understandable. Highly recommend their bao buns.

Had a stewed pork burger at this location and it was one of the best I've ever had. The pork was really tender and green onions complemented the meat very well. The service was also great as Johnson was super helpful and the order came quick.

Delicious dumplings prepared quickly and with fresh ingredients. We had the vegetable and the pork and both were the best dumplings I ever had. I highly recommend.

I have been doing take out from Super Taste and everything I've had is so great. I've had the dan dan noodles, various dumplings and the bamboo. So happy they have set up in my neighborhood. The staff there is friendly and accommodating.

I've had several of their dishes, and all of them were absolutely delicious, and really really fresh. The ordering system is unusual, but easy, the food comes out quickly. I've particularly enjoyed various of the dumplings that they have.

Best authentic dumplings and Chinese comfort food for a reasonable price in the neighborhood! Primarily counter service which has been friendly and fast. I usually do take out, but a few clean tables are available for those who want to eat in.

Super Taste is a longstanding, beloved restaurant downtown, and seeing the son expanding the business to the UES is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I grew up going to the downtown location, and they stay true to what makes them great up here. If you haven't tried them yet, it's definitely worth coming in. I'd recommend the hot and spicy beef noodles, but everything is fantastic.

Great dumplings. I especially like the sichuan ones - the sauce is delicious. Also even though they are known for their dumplings, the Dan Dan noodles were amazing. Owner is super friendly too. Highly recommend.

Okay, people, don't sleep on this sparkling new hidden gem. I had their fried pork dumplings - hand rolled like cigars, the filling flavorful and fragrant. Best dumplings I've had outside of Chinatown. They are officially opening this week. I am excited to try some of their other authentic dishes. A welcome addition to the UES that does not try to dumb down their flavors.

We went to this place at Saturday evening because we saw some tiktok videos about their dumplings and noodles. The place was extremely crowded and not seated place. We ordered 2 hot noodles and 1 serving of fried dumplings. The order was ready after 25 minutes of ordering. It was hot and looks good. The taste is different story. You will get the best sesame noodles that you will ever taste in your life. Fried dumplings are also amazing. We paid for 2 noodles sesame flavor plus one serving of Dumplings and bottle of water 20$ which were enough for 3 people to be satisfied. I h recommend this place always good food. Never disappointed
