The Bund

Their crispy chicken is just fried chips with very little chicken most pieces are just fried batter and their wontons are 90% noodle, 10% stuffing. Someone there is prioritizing profits over quality which makes me suspicious of their approach with other items on the menu.

One of my go-to takeout options. Is it anything extravagant or particularly special? No, but it is very consistently decent food. Their soup dumplings are well crafted, good amount of soup. Their other hot options are always pretty consistent, too, and I appreciate that they offer brown rice. Good portion size for the price.

Foods are decent. Order over $35 and pay by cash can get a free order of pork soup dumplings! Went back today for lunch, the salt and pepper chicken has no taste, told the waiter but he just brush me off, he also forgot my wonton but he finally still waived the steam pork bun. However, I am still disappointed. 12/29/24 foods are much better the this time, they have new added menu, feel like they changed the chief.

They have a new breaded pork chop special, great meal at a great price! Already really enjoyed everything I've had from The Bund, now they've reached a new high in my book.

My mom and I have been to this place and ordered soup dumplings, port soup, general Tso's chicken and many other foods. The food is awesome, and the service is wonderful. The atmosphere was that there were many people in their eating, drinking, talking, and many other things.

The food is okay here, nothing special and doesn't feel too authentic in my opinion. I was craving soup dumplings and saw that they had it but it was just okay I was a bit disappointed. I also ordered a spicy beef noodles and it was just noodles with diced beef no vegetables nothing and it lacked so much flavors it wasn't spicy at all.

Food and service was good. Our waitress refill our water a few times without asking and was always there when we wanted to add another dish. The Xiao Long Bao had thin skin and soup was tasty. The rice cake was a bit too salty but good. The Ma Po tofu and double cook pork was also very tasty. Worth a try if you're in the neighborhood or want to try a new shanghainese place.

One of the best soup dumplings in the neighborhood food also very flavorful just make sure to check what they have available I looked at lunch special menu and duck that is listed there is not available any longer but they forgot to print new one I put an extra star just for the good food

We ordered a whole peking duck. And we only got one leg and one wing. This is the second time it happened. It is very good, but I know what a whole duck has. Every time I have ordered a whole duck from other places and when I go to various place where the ducks hang in window, I get two legs and two wings. For the price, I should get a whole duck.

The Bund would pass my parents' test. That is much more difficult than any assessment I, a native born American, would impose. I refrain from saying "authentic," because that term is rightly contested and fails to account for dynamism of cuisine. Instead, I will report that my late mother would recognize the dishes as those she could copy, and if my father were still traveling I would bring him here. I am tempted to return, and I likely will. The only reason I would not is my one friend in New York City and I are trying restaurants, and to proceed with discipline we have an informal guideline (among friends, one ought not impose formal rules) about no return visits to the same venue. But for that self-imposed exile, this would rank at the top of the list. Mind you, contrary to the reputation of the international metropolis the cuisine represents and the name alludes to, Shanghai, the Bund is unassuming, perfectly suitable for a family gathering or a first date with someone who you need to impress by absurd spending but who would appreciate the fine cuisine at hand. We had lunch. We had only four dishes, which meant ample leftovers for two people. Those items were flawless: the fish with sour cabbage, the lion's head meatballs (more savory than my mother made them, which is by no means a bad thing), string beans, and zhong zhi. The service was attentive, including the warning the zhong zhi would take a bit of time, which means it is fresh (likely from a stockpile that is frozen). The sour was sour -- and spicy. That is an acquired taste. The meatballs were rich. The string beans were classic. The zhong zhi were savory, the brown rice filled with delicacies including the egg (salted duck!). We found the Bund through the NY Times. Nora Lum, aka Awkwafina, recommended it. If you do not put stock in social media, or me, and why would you, take it from Nora. More power to her. Go. Enjoy.

Ok what the heck!!! I had been ordering the wonton in hot oil and fried rice and beef with hot pepper all the time but the last 3 times food sucked, not spicy at all , if anything sweet... Even though they'll ask you the spice level and every single time I always select very spicy but tell me why I feel I'm gonna catch diabetes!! So wanted to try one last time and give it a shot and guys don't waste your money. If you want your food to be extremely sweet then go ahead and if you want to pay $20 for a sprinkle of truffle in your fried rice, go ahead and if you want chicken that literally taste like sweet sauce and sesame Then go ahead. Oh, and I've only been there twice physically and let me tell you when you walk in. They're rude. They charge you a dollar for a teaspoon of hot oil to go. Hence I always decided to just order in and excused their rude behavior but now never again the food sucks and I'll be just throwing out $50 worth of food.

One of my go-to takeout options. Is it anything extravagant or particularly special? No, but it is very consistently decent food. Their soup dumplings are well crafted, good amount of soup. Their other hot options are always pretty consistent, too, and I appreciate that they offer brown rice. Good portion size for the price.

The first time I ate here was around the time they first opened and they hosted a Yelp event here. I was impressed then and have eaten takeout from here multiple times since. They specialize in Shanghainese cuisine though they originally carried more unique dishes, they have adapted over the years to accommodate the non-Chinese clientele in the area. Can't blame'em since they gotta make what sells, though a bit of a shame since it seems the chef, restaurant and Chinese cuisine have so much to showcase outside of the more generic staples* that are popular in the US. That being said I can recommend the following: - Shanghainese lions head meatballs $17.95: they make them large and fluffy here, goes great with rice. They took it off the menu for a couple years though brought them back in the last year and a half. - flounder filets in wine sauce $15.95: tender white fish with woodear mushrooms, a little heavy on the sauce thickener though overall tasty and fish never tastes fishy. - "crispy" deep fried flounder $23.95: kinda an American-Chinese take on battered and fried fish, tasty and a large serving that could feed 3-4. Not actually crispy if you take it to go since it's covered in sweet and sour sauce. - kungpao chicken $13.95: a decent preparation here, fair amount of diced chicken, savory with a hint of spicy. - sautéed spinach w/garlic $12.50 or sautéed water spinach with garlic $13.50: simple leafy veggies cooked well. Overall the serving sizes are reasonable for the price and area. Will be back! *general tsou's chicken is not real Chinese food, though I admit sometimes I order this myself and enjoy it :)

Soup dumplings had a flavorful broth, though scant in amount; each piece was ok the compact side. The dan dan noodles could've used more minced meat and sauce. The tofu lacked pepper and chili oil and was somewhat bland.

I ordered food delivery for a set time, and the delivery came right on time. The deliveryman was friendly, and it's nice to have such reliable and quick delivery service. It's always so nice to enjoy this food in the comfort of my home. I finally ordered the frozen Pork Dumplings and frozen Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. The pork dumplings had thick skin but was stuffed full of filling. Shrimp dumplings are my favorite order at dim sum, and I have a specific preferred flavor when it comes to crystal shrimp dumplings. These had that exact kind of flavor, so I was happy to find a delivery place that has good ones. There are whole shrimp pieces with skin that wasn't too thick or thin. The Pan Fried Pork Soup Dumplings were just as good as they were last time, but the Pan Fried Pork Buns surprisingly had just as much soup -- or was it just juiciness? -- as the Pan Fried Pork Soup Dumplings. Both have their different flavors, but I liked the Pan Fried Pork Bun flavor more. The bun was soft but not too thick.

I've been a regular here and one dish that always calls me back is their Scallion Pancake with Beef--it's nothing short of sensational! The pancake is perfectly crispy, and the beef is tender and flavorful, making each bite a delightful experience. It's easily one of my favorite dishes anywhere! The portions at The Bund are generous, ensuring you get great value for your money, and the pricing is more than fair. A pro tip for fellow foodies: it's often cheaper to order directly from their website than through food delivery apps, so definitely check that out for the best deals. While the Scallion Pancake with Beef is my top pick, I'd also recommend giving their Beef with Scallion and Roast Peking Duck Buns a try. These items might not reach the stellar heights of the pancake but are still very tasty and well-prepared. The beef is nicely seasoned, and the duck buns have a good balance of flavor, making them enjoyable additions to any meal. The Bund is a gem that offers a cozy dining atmosphere and consistently delicious food. Whether you're a longtime lover of Chinese cuisine or new to these flavors, you'll find something here to love.

Great neighborhood restaurant that satisfied my soup dumpling craving. We got their crabmeat & pork soup dumplings, chicken soup dumplings, Peking duck baos, scallion pancakes stuffed with beef brisket, water spinach with garlic, and beef rice cake. They also offer bubble tea, and my friend ordered a passion fruit bubble tea. We stopped in for a late lunch yesterday so there was only one other table of diners while we were there. Service was attentive. One of my friends had never had soup dumplings so was trying it for the first time, and she is hooked. We had 2 crabmeat soup dumplings orders and 1 chicken soup dumplings for our table of 3. Everything we ordered was delicious and we will be returning again.

Order: - Salt & Crispy Chicken (3/5) - Scallion Pancakes (4/5) - Pork Soup Dumplings (5/5) - Pork Shanghainese Udon (5/5) - Sesame Chicken (4/5) Pros: - Great tasting and authentic Chinese food - Large menu with a lot of options to choose from - Very well priced and large portions to get the most bang out of your bucks - Quick and kind service Cons: - Food can be a bit oily Overall: A great authentic Chinese food spot to go to in Forest Hills. No need to go all the way to Chinatown or Flushing!

Everything here was pretty solid as far as Shanghainese fare goes, and this restaurant is really doing a service to the area which otherwise doesn't have great options for soup dumplings and other shanghainese items. Scallion Pancake W Beef - this is one of my fave things to get when it's on the menu, and they did a solid job. Satisfying crunch, didn't skimp on the meat, nicely packed together, and warm. Bund Pork Dumplings - good, especially for the area, and 100% authentic. No need to take a hike to Chinatown or Flushing to get your fix - you can come here and get quality soup dumplings. A great option if you live around the area. Double Cooked Pork** really enjoyed this - had a good amount of heat, and the pork slices were thin, tender, fatty, rich, and delicious. This is now going into my list of go-to items when ordering from here again (which I very well see myself doing)

The Bund has the best soup dumplings that I've found in Queens so far! They have a wonderful quiet sit down restaurant, offer fast delivery and have stellar customer service. I appreciate the amount of options they offer for vegetarians, but recommend reading each item very carefully as I am pescatarian and sometimes food items will be shrimp but come with a pork based broth.

Decided to try a new place this week and stopped in this little restaurant. I typically don't see many Chinese restaurants in the area, but the food here was very authentic! The Ox Brisket and Beef Tripe is one of my favorite dishes to order in a chinese restaurant and they definitely carried this one out well. It was super flavorful with a nice kick to it. We also ordered the Scallion Pancake with Beef (not pictured) and it was nice and crispy. The beef with bean curd and watercress were both pretty standard - nothing super outstanding about it. The soup dumplings were pretty good as well - skin was thin, good amount of soup in the dumplings, and overall good flavor. The fish and tofu dish was probably the least impressive. I felt that out of the everything else, this had the least amount of flavor and was a little too oily. Overall, the food here was delicious and a great find in forest hills/rego park!

My brother in law came over with takeout from The Bund. We had Spicy Pepper Chicken, Scallion Pancake with Brisket, Brown Rice, Wood Ears, and Steamed Chicken Dumplings. I pleasantly surprised by the tasty items he chose. Holy cow the spicy pepper chicken is no joke but the crispnesses of the chicken was spot on. Reminded me of Chicharrones. You'll l definitely need water with this dish. The chicken dumplings are yummy. The brown rice is nothing to write home about but it helped with the spicy pepper chicken. I couldn't get past the texture of the Wood Ears. They smelled heavenly but the texture was off putting. Chewy and crunchy. Very strange in my opinion. The highlight of the meal was the Scallion Pancake with Brisket. The brisket has a subtle sweetness to it which was divine.

Beware! You cannot reach them by phone if you tried. Try it: 718 278 8000. They also have an agreement with Amazon Prime members to deliver with no charge for delivery. But when you look at the bill they have a catagory called Other where they charge $2.00. Very cute. I will report this to Amazon Prime. I use Grubhub which has partnered with Amazon and they are violating the agreement. I complained with Grubhub and got a five dollar credit. They need to be stopped and explain what OTHER means!

I've recently ordered at Bund more often and find myself enjoying almost all of their selections on the menu. They don't skimp out on the ingredients and prices are reasonably fair. Very flavorful, but not too greasy. Love it!

Ordered: Sichuan Sliced Beef in Spicy Chili Oil; Sesame Chicken Dinner Combo; Shrimp Spring Rolls; Crystal Shrimp Dumplings; Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings; Spicy Crispy Beef; Shanghai Style Rice Cakes with Chicken I've been ordering from this place since 2018; my go to meals are the Chef's special Sichuan Sliced beef in Spicy Chili Oil, and the Spicy Hot Pot (Pricey but well worth it with the portions) The two large quarts are enough to split between 4 - 6 people, make sure to get extra rice. The soup dumplings are always very good, and if you pay cash, you can get a bonus soup dumpling order if you order over $50. My kids love the pan fried dumplings and really enjoy the soup dumplings too. They recently changed their online menu but the customer service and delivery are way above the other restaurants in the area. The flavor is memorable and very unique. Tons of menu options and I've had almost 30 different menu options and all of them had a great flavor and were delivered hot. Make sure to tip your driver!

The food is okay here, nothing special and doesn't feel too authentic in my opinion. I was craving soup dumplings and saw that they had it but it was just okay I was a bit disappointed. I also ordered a spicy beef noodles and it was just noodles with diced beef no vegetables nothing and it lacked so much flavors it wasn't spicy at all.

Something was off about the taste of my food. The dim sum was very good but the rest Idk I'm not sure I'll be back here.

Typical Shanghai style food. First time at this local spot and it did not disappoint. Parking isn't the best but the food was worth it for the price. One of the most authentic beef noodles I've had in a while.

I was very impressed with this restaurant. It is clean, friendly servers and the dishes I ordered were fresh. During business shutdowns, the delivery service was quick and delivery staff were kind and friendly.

Some of the best soup dumplings ever! Still piping hot from delivery. Their lunch specials are also reasonable price and good. The Eggplant Chicken was delicious comes with a really good hot and sour soup!

I first heard about The Bund about three years ago when I attended a Yelp Elite event here. I remembered the food was pretty delicious. I came back again with other Yelp Elite friends a few weeks later that time and I haven't had a chance to dine-in since then. With the COVID-19 pandemic still being active, I decided to order takeout recently via DoorDash. I wasn't disappointed with my takeout orders. I definitely recommend the Shanghainese rice cake with pork and flounder filets with fried tofu. Their lunch specials (~$9.95) aren't a bad deal either. You pick your entrée and it comes with choice of rice, small soup, or beverage. Overall, l'll order takeout from here every now and then during these unusual times.

Food was good. Service was decent. Chill back, family friendly spot. Very welcoming. Shrimp dumpling was good. Duck bao was decent, a bit sweeter than my liking. Also tried the pan fried chicken dumplings and scallion pancake with beef brisket, both were good. Tried some other side dishes and nothing was disappointing. I would definitely go back.

Really great place for soup dumplings or xiao lung bao. I also enjoyed their other dishes like eggplant in garlic sauce.

We went on a Friday night, no reservations needed and plenty of spread out seating available. We also brought our own bottle of wine for only a $5 cork fee. The food!! We were two very hungry folks. We started with three appetizers and one entree, then ordered a second entree to feel satisfied and completely full. We started with the crab meat soup dumplings: they were absolute perfection, thin skin, the broth was potent in flavor. Scallion pancake with beef brisket: the phyllo was crispy and chewy and the beef taste fresh and nicely seasoned. Pecking duck Bao: very delicious, we loved the sauce over the duck. Our 1st entree: Pork sautéed Udon: colorful dish with veggies and plenty of pork, the udons were nice and chewy. Our second entree was the Bund Fried Rice: this was our favorite! It had an abundant amount of protein (seafood and meat!) and they were not cheap with any of it. This was the perfect date night. We left very satisfied, happy and can't wait to go back :-)

After ordering the shredded pork with garlic sauce last time I decide to order the chicken with garlic sauce but I put a note to make it mild.... Lo and behold it was spicy af--to the point I had to stop eating. I guess they don't look at the notes. Pretty disappointing and inconsistent experience. Also don't order from uber eats. The price on the menu on uber's site vs what restaurant charges is about $1.50 difference. Yikes.

Service is always good, the food is amazing --not your regular Chinese restaurant. More options than the corner Chinese style restaurants- you have to go see for yourself. The restaurant has a mellow vibe that is just right for the the restaurant.

This is the only Shanghai restaurant in Forest Hills. Unlike the ones in Flushing, this one does it with a modern twist. When I entered, there were two parties inside. Several others were here to do takeout. There was Chinese music playing in the background and a TV showing ESPN basketball. The items here can be expensive. The food took some time to make. The restaurant isn't big compared to the ones in Flushing. Would come again.

Food so so. But I think Shanghai cuisine is kind of oily. BUT I totally NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant. First problem is the cashier girl, (it's not the 1St time.)she just focus on her chatting/ playing the electronic device, when I paid the check (the check was $24, I paid $40), but she changed me only $6 ($10 less). just use the calculator, but she still could make that mistake all the time??? I just can say she was not focus on work. Everybody have to be careful after change from the cashier. Also as a.front desk person should be represent the whole restaurant, when I ready to order, she just SCREAMING LOUD to the backside and ask server. Screaming from the front to the back, the entire restaurant customers could hear her loud voice. I ever seen any official restaurant would like that. I was thinking I wrongly got into a Chinese take out rather than a official restaurant. Additional, When I got in, it's over 2:00pm and the restaurant only have 2 table customers (80% tables were empty) they served the Chinese tea was not hot enough, even not warm. Its cool Chinese tea!!!! Somebody drank before??? When they put the check on my table, I was still eating. No customers wait on line,I do not understand why pushy. Regarding cleaness, you better not to put your hand oin the table. The conclusion is, this kind of restaurant makes me not comfortable to go again.

Average Shanghainese food, but they curiously market themselves in the broader category of Chinese cuisine on their windows. I'm guessing it's to attract a wider audience and to get those in here that are not familiar with just Shanghainese food, but either way, there's plenty of improvements that can be made. Recently, I came here for an early dinner on a Saturday evening at 6pm and the restaurant surprisingly already had plenty of customers inside. The menu was pretty big for a Shanghainese restaurant, or at least compared to other Shanghainese restaurants that we've been to. There were the usual cold appetizers, regular appetizers, soup dumplings and meat dishes (pork, beef, chicken and seafood). In addition, there were also vegetables, casserole specials, fried rice, noodles, rice cakes and much more. Like I said, the menu was something I could have sat there reading for an hour. However, we sort of just ordered our usual Shanghainese favorites. To keep it simple we ordered a few appetizers, a carb and a bigger casserole type dish. We started off with the spungy gluten (aka Kao Fu) and drunken chicken. The spungy gluten, as disgusting as that always sounds, wasn't bad. Compared to other Shanghainese restaurants it was decent. Good flavor, good texture and good serving size. As for the drunken chicken, freaking delicious. It was one of the best drunken chicken dishes I had in a while. At first, we thought the wine on the chicken was going to be very strong because the aroma really kicked in quick when the dish was set on our table. However, the strength of the wine on the chicken was jusssst right. Although it smelled strong, in actuality, it wasn't when eating the chicken and the chicken was perfectly flavored. For our non-appetizers, we ordered the Bund crab meat pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, Shanghainese sautéed seafood udon noodles and flounder fillet with tofu casserole to share. The soup dumplings were on the sweet side, so we weren't huge fans of it. Texture-wise, I liked the thickness of the skin, the soup was hot and I thought the pork meatball was put together well, but there was a sweetness to the soup that we weren't used to. It definitely needed to be saltier. The pan fried pork buns weren't the greatest in that it was very dry inside where the meatball resided. I would have preferred more sauce inside that could have made the bun more moist. The udon noodles were average and nothing that we were overly impressed about. To be honest, there's not much that can be done for this dish, but when it says seafood, I would expect seafood, which it was overly lacking. Finally, the flounder fillet with tuna lacked flavor. It was sizzling in a clay pot when it came out, which was music to our ears, but there wasn't a whole lot to it. The sauce was bland, which made everything in there taste the same. The service was good throughout and the waiters/waitresses were friendly, so I hate to say the following. The Bund makes for an average local spot, but compared to the restaurants in Flushing, it has a lot of work to do to catch up. The food is by no means terrible, but some of the food can use better flavors and a bit more salt, which is something I typically don't say, but it's definitely something that needs to be mentioned here. For now, they're on the low end of 3 stars.

The cumin tofu is my new favorite food and absolutely to die for. It's so good. I think I could happily live off it for the rest of my life. It's spicy but not too spicy that it's unbearable. Everyone should enjoy this dish! I also love their dumplings. They have a good variety and everything has been great. Can't wait to go back!!

Stopped in to try it or, and was happy to find very authentic Shanhainese food Pork noodles, lions head meatballs, soup dumplings, and the glutinous rice fruit dessert Awesome food and great service! It's gonna be my new go to for Chinese food!

Took my mom here for her birthday. It was a good typical Chinese dine in. The prices here are quite expensive. We got some General Tzos Chicken, fried noodles and pork fried buns. It was delicious but to be honest the prices were pretty high and we can prob get the same quality as a regular Chinese take out but other than that no complaints here .

I recently moved to this neighborhood and try this restaurant. I ordered a Peking duck and two another side dish for my dinner. This is the worst restaurant i have ever seen. I am sure there will not be a worse restaurant than this in the future. What i had is definitely not Chinese food. It was even NOT food. It was garbage. The duck is not cheap. But it is little. I ordered half size but I do not believe half duck is so little. It was also over burnt like charcoal. I really doubt if my order is some left over from some other guests. The more ridiculous thing is the cucumber together with the duck is peel of cucumber(2nd photo, the green white thing is scallion. the green thing iis cucumber peel). They should change the name of the dish "Peking duck charcoal (leftover, with surprising cucumber peel)". I am writing this to tell you to avoid them. If you did not dine there, do not believe their fake photos. The awful experience there will ruin your whole day. My photo is the real experience. I really want to say to the owner of the restaurant "please vacate this good space for some real restaurant. Stop fooling around." I have to say the owner's behavior are really stupid. PS. the owner replys say something about the cucumber. I am attaching an link for pic of authentic peking duck. I am not only seeing cucumber peel. https://images.app.goo.gl/XHz9EsfkjPtJHb9KA http://www.quanjudekygw.com/jmzx/13.html

This review is for a recent delivery order not a dine in experience. For delivery orders I will only give a max of 4 stars. I was pleasantly surprised that my order was delivered in about 30 minutes from placing my order, much faster than I had expected. My order included pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork soup dumplings, Peking duck buns and crispy duck with rice. The food was still hot when it arrived and the food had good flavors. My one issue was that the crispy duck was a bit on the dry side as if it were sitting under a heat lamp for too long, but otherwise good. I did order in the mid-afternoon so maybe if you order earlier the duck would be fresher and moister. Half star taken off for the slightly dry duck so actual overall rating is 3.5 stars. I order delivery 2 or 3 times a month and noticed that most deliveries arrive at my door without a doorbell ring or knock on my door so my food could be sitting outside my door for a while. However, this delivery person rang my doorbell and personally handed my food order to me. Not really a big deal but a nice courtesy that I appreciate but find less and less often these days.

Ordered in last night and the food was really great. Honestly I don't know how they were able to deliver the soup dumplings so hot. Those usually don't travel well, but these were hot and light & delicious. Chicken and eggplant were also hot and fresh and tasty. Special fried rice, scallion pancake and dumplings in peanut sauce were great as well. The best part was no MSG as I often get a headache from that. Friendly delivery person as well!

We were drawn to The Bund Chinese Cuisine by a recent New York Times article about the surge of quality Chinese restaurants in Forest Hills, NY. Food: OK (3 of 5). The Bund was a decent experience. We had: - Bund Pork Soup Dumplings (福園小籠包) - Crab Meat Pork Soup Dumplings (蟹粉小籠包) - Pan Fried Pork Buns (福園生煎包) - Chicken with Eggplant (茄子雞) We thought the soup dumplings were good, but not great. The soup dumplings here use a regular (thicker) dumpling skin that render the dumplings less susceptible to breakage. The filling in the pork soup dumplings and pan fried pork buns are similar -- flavorful and juicy, but it seemed to have an extra sharpness or tingle that wore out its welcome after a few helpings. This could be MSG, but I'm not sure. The crab meat pork soup dumplings were similar to the pork soup dumplings, but with the addition of some crab meat. The crab meat flavor was less noticeable here than at other establishments. The Chicken with Eggplant was well-executed and very flavorful. It comes with a bowl of white or brown rice; you may need more because the dish is heavily-sauced. Service: Good (3 of 5). Value: OK (3 of 5). The restaurant makes its pork soup dumplings complimentary if your order is $35 or more and paid in cash, for orders after 3 PM and all day Saturdays and Sundays. The minimum purchase required for free pork soup dumplings is $25 paid in cash weekdays from 11:30 AM to 3 PM. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals. Atmosphere: Good (3 of 5). Comfortable seating. Two unisex bathrooms.

It's not a brand new restaurant but it's relatively new. A few years I think. I've only had take out from here so I can really only comment on the food. I guess it would be an Asian Fusion place? The menu is mainly Chinese but they also have Thai and Vietnamese. Impressive selection and I will definitely be back to try different items on the menu. The delivery was quick and I was also impressed with the way it was packed. The Pho was packed vegetables separate from the noodles and the broth. I was also a little nervous about getting the soup dumplings but they packed that well too. Food was delicious and it definitely had a more authentic taste than some other places. Next time I may try to dine in.

Really great food and a great selection. Whenever I've gone in person, the staff have been flexible when I've brought groups, and did I mention the excellent food?

Ordered takeout from The Bund on Friday evening. I enjoyed the Dumplings, and assume they would be even better for dine-in, but the rest of my meal was a let down. Quality: While I am disappointed I did not get a chance to dine-in at The Bund, I wanted to make sure I tried their signature dishes before moving across town. We ordered three items for takeout, and they were all just okay. I started with the Peking Duck Bao, which was just an add-on and was fine. I felt the duck itself was a bit tough, but the flavor was good. The Crab Pork Soup Dumplings were the item I was most excited for, but also what I was most worried about doing takeout. It held up better than expected, and the flavor was very good. This is clearly a must order, and I assume fresh out the kitchen it is fantastic. I was also looking forward to the Kungpao Chicken & Shrimps, which I figured would hold up and looked very tasty. I just did not love the flavor. The chicken was tender, and I liked the snap of the shrimp, but I felt it was all extremely bland. And the less than appealing fried rice did not help either. Quantity: The dumplings were a little smaller than I expected, but the entree was quite large. Value: $6.50 for the Peking Duck Bao. $9 for the Crab Pork Soup Dumplings. $15 for the Kungpao Chicken & Shrimps. Ambiance: The Bund is located in the Forest Hills area of Queens. They have set up a small seating area on the street out front, but with no covering and no heaters, it is not a reasonable option in the winter. Inside they have tables along each wall with several televisions in the back. A few decorations cover the walls, but is pretty minimalistic other than the lantern style lights. Crowd: No one else waiting for pickup, but it was a bit early for dinner. Usually a pretty constant crowd, but definitely impacted by COVID restrictions. Service: Order was ready quick, and they gave a perfect time estimate. Consider arriving a little early if grabbing takeout. Parking: Street parking in front of the restaurant and on the surrounding blocks.

The food is good, package is good, delivering is fast! I like the spongy gluten with mushroom, pretty creative!

So the service was on point and so was the food. My friend recommended this place so I went to try their food. We ordered the steamed chicken with bund special sauce, bund special jumbo shrimp dish with noodles, mapo tofu with rice. The chicken wasnt heated up, but it was on the colder side. But the sauce was pretty good. I was impressed, it reminded me of Hainese chicken that you get at certain Chinese restaurants. Great appetizer! The bund jumbo shrimp dish was alright, it wasn't easy to pick off the shrimp shells with sauce on top of it. The mapo tofu with rice was good too. It had the right amount of spice to it. I would definitely go back as the service was great and I would like to order other things off the menu. It's great to see how it was packed with non-asians and asians alike.

I was craving Shanghainese food and ordered delivery here for the first time. The food came quicker than expected (which is always a plus) and was still very warm (another plus). I ordered vegetable dumplings, mapo tofu, and eggplant with garlic. Sometimes restaurants will neglect their vegetable dumplings and make them bland and thick skinned. This wasn't the case with these ones. The skin was pretty thin and the filling was flavorful and generous. Overall a very solid dumpling. Next, I tried the eggplant with garlic, with all of its oily goodness. It was flavorful and had a very mild spiciness. I always enjoy eggplant prepared like this, so it's hard to critique. The mapo tofu was a treat as well. I got it mild, but I was still able to taste the citrus tones of the peppercorns. Both of these soupy/oily dishes with rice were very enjoyable. If you are looking for your next delivery meal, this is your spot.

Came here for dinner 2 Sundays ago. Walked over in the blistering cold. Place was relatively empty but they seemed to have a decent amount of deliveries and take out orders. Service was pretty decent, granted there were only 4 tables and 2 waiters on staff and the boss/manager. Between the 3 of us we ordered: The Bund Special Pork with Pancake Wraps Pork Soup Dumpling Pork and Crab Soup Dumpling Shanghai Rice Cake with Chicken Special Udon Noodle House Special Tofu Watercress with Garlic The Special Pork buns comes as an order of 2. The pork is really dry, definitely needs sauce. The soup dumplings flavor-wise were ok, the pork one tasted much better. The skin that they use is really thick though, great thing is you can just pick them up with your chopsticks, bad thing is they remind me of the pre-packaged frozen ones. The Shanghai Rice Cake with Chicken looked anemic but was surprisingly tasty. The Special Udon, House Special Tofu and Watercress with garlic were all good. The watercress however was actually water spinach, which I actually like better anyways. This place definitely has some pretty decent food. From what I saw they're probably a bit weaker on the appetizers side.

So, after a bad experience here many years I've been avoiding ordering from here again. Boy, what a mistake. I've been obsessed with dry fried string beans and since my favorite location for them closed I've had to try other spots. So far I've tried: Grand Sichuan, Spy C, The Bund and Tasty and Co. The Bund is by far the best I've had. I also tried their soup dumplings and dare I say, they might be better than Memories!! I never thought I'd say that! It's been 2 weeks since my order and I can't stop thinking about them!

Look no further if you want to experience delicious Chinese cuisine. Walked in and sat down for an experience to end all in traditional shanghainese fare. Tony (our server) was fantastic, extremely friendly and patient when we made inquiries as to how dishes were prepared (100% service with a smile). The dishes came out promptly and the dining area is very comfortable. We ordered as appetizers: cucumber salad (with a whisper of garlic it was the perfect combo) and Peking duck bao was light and tasty. The main course we ordered: stir fried string beans (never ever have I had string beans that were prepared as superbly as these.... I loved the fact that many of them were actually seared). The braised pork hock (this is surely a meal for 2 people and perhaps even three can split) was bought out next. The pork was tender on the inside with a fantastically crunchy skin and lastly the bund special spicy shrimp. I was a bit reluctant to order the bund shrimp because I wasn't sure how shrimp and ground beef would work together...I'm elated I took a chance. Trying something new is easy when what is placed in front of you is not only mouth watering but a perfect combination of foods that's spiced to perfection. My hat goes off to the cook for bringing a tantalizing and adventurous menu.....something that has been missing in Forest Hills.

This is from a while back, day before Christmas lunch. Well priced lunch specials with a bunch of food! For apps we got the scallion pancakes and pan fried pork buns, both of which were excellent. Lunch specials came with a soup and the hot and sour that I got was quality! My shrimp with broccoli was pretty average, good veggies and decent sauce but the shrimp were lacking. We also got matcha sesame balls as a treat to try something new. Pretty strong flavor of matcha but a really nice mix of crunch and doughiness from the ball! Really quick delivery time (not done through a third party app), definitely a solid choice!

The Bund's not bad. Ordered a few things from the menu and while nothing really wow-ed us, nothing was really bad either. We ordered -Steamed Chicken with Bund sauce on the side -Salted Crispy Chicken -Wonton in Red Chili Sauce -Bund Pork Soup Dumplings The steamed chicken was a cold appetizer. The chicken was good and cooked just right. I think the bund sauce may just be dumpling sauce though. The wontons weren't too bad, but it's more like Wontons in hot oil than chili sauce. It was swimming in oil. As for the pork soup dumplings, they gave me just regular pork dumplings. When I told the waiter, he said that I ordered the wrong item instead of saying that they misunderstood my order. Funny enough, my friend and his family sat down by us 15 minutes after we ordered. And they gave him pork dumplings instead of soup dumplings too. I guess everyone's ordering wrong here according to the Bund's wait staff. Tldr; foods good, not amazing. Wouldn't go out of my way to come dine here, but can see myself coming back. Staff is nice, but I think they can admit fault once in a while.
