Sanmiwago

Such a unexpected surprise. The food was amazing and the service was great. I'd definitely recommend it.

I came here because I saw a review that said these were the best dumplings someone had ever had. The dumplings were incredible. Very tender, packed full, and you get enough to share with a friend. Extremely friendly staff, cozy atmosphere with romantic ballads playing on the speakers. The refreshing bubble tea’s are absolutely incredible.

Tried the boba drinks and are fantastic! Prices are decent and customer service was great!

First things first, the owner Jeffery is an absolute delight. Next, this place is so clean, well-lit, and fresh, it really stands out as far as atmosphere is concerned. The young lads behind the counter were super polite and friendly. Last but not least the food was wicked. The dumplings (we call them pot-stickers down in the South), were unreal. They tasted exactly like the gyoza I used to eat when I lived in Japan. The fried chicken tasted exactly like the kind I used to eat when i lived in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Bubble tea was great, and they even have tasty ice creams that come in exotic Taiwanese flavors. Overall a great experience. Stop reading this review, and just go check it out.

TLDR; great food for a great price. With the value and good eats it's a welcomed new spot (they have 2 in the area btw). The good: - price - quality of food - access to food later at night compared to other neighbourhood restaurants - accessible location - good customer service Cons: - So I'd like to start of by saying the Tupperware is nice because it separates the food however it's very wasteful. This is my only major gripe with the food and serving. - The next thing is the kiosk is inefficient, and it would be awesome if there was a way to add more eggs or extra sauce for add-ons.

My friend and I were looking for late night snacks ... came across this store. The inside looks very nice. We ordered popcorn chicken, pork chop noodles. They both taste so great! The popcorn chicken is pretty crispy with tender meat inside. As for the noodle, the soup is definitely a highlight. Will be back to try other dishes

Hearty bowl of beef noodle soup in the snares. The popcorn chicken was fried fresh and satisfyingly crunchy and the pan fried dumplings were great too.

My new fav midnight spot. The food is sooo good and the staffs are super friendly <3

Amazing reliable spot in the neighborhood! Dumplings are the perfect ratio of dough to filling (especially the veggie ones) and the chili soy sauce is perfection. Slightly steeper prices compared to other spots in the area but they are the only ones open till 2 am. The staff is kind and funny especially Steven! Great service. Love them!

Food was delicious. I had 2 meals and both were sizable and flavorful. Everything was great but maybe 9 tables total, so a smaller venue. No lines out the door but busy. I will definitely return if I'm ever close. Also open till 2am Mon-Sun

Been here twice in the last 4-5 years or so when I have been in NYC. The very best 鍋貼 (potstickers) I have had other than when I lived in 員林市 in 台灣 (Taiwan). Honestly haven't tried anything else but why bother?

The taro milk tea is subtle, not very strong, but the tapioca was fresh and perfect. Scallion pancake was very thin and crispy, but super overpriced for what it was. Tasty, but I'd skip it next time. The dumplings are great. Very juicy and with a decent amount of meat. Could be more, but the flavor was outstanding. I will definitely be back to try more.

First time here and the food was very flavorful. The downside was both meats were a bit chewy but I would definitely comeback to try more things on the menu! Also tried the herbal tea and I thought it was good, just not very sweet. My friend enjoyed it a lot though!

General Tso’s chicken was delicious. It has a spice symbol next to it, but its probably a 1/10 on spiciness, which is perfect for me. Affordable pricing, friendly service, and tables to sit down at.

Sanmiwago is the kind of place that feels like a warm embrace for your taste buds. Their Taiwanese pork on white rice (the Lu Rou Fan style braised pork rice bowl) is absolutely outstanding — comfort food at its finest.

My No.1 Taiwanese food in the city. Why didn't I try this place earlier?!!! Had fried pork chop, popcorn chicken, and pan-fried dumplings in store, and they were all so good! Soup noodles hit the spot too. Will order from this place more as I want to support authentic Taiwanese place!

Pan fried dumplings are the best. Really great place to grab a quick bite. Will definitely be back

The ube ice cream might be the best ice cream I've ever had. Ube flavor is such a different and unique flavor from what I'm used to, and it's not too sweet; just right The dumplings were very onion-forward and I love that. I think they put some chili oil on it or in it--I'm used to eating very spicy things, but it still managed to move my needle on the spice level. Stopped here for a quick lunch on my way through, and very glad I did. Ordering from the kiosk is easy and straightforward, you're in and out inside of 20-25 minutes. I will be back to try other items on your menu.

We ordered the kimchi dumplings and the yellow onion dumplings. They were delicious. We also had the orange chicken as well as the honey ginger hot tea. Given that we went in winter and it was 28° outside, it was the perfect meal. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back on the next trip to NYC. The store was very clean and ordering at the kiosks or counter were both easy.

Pork chop noodles soup base had a herbal aroma to it. Not the typical soup noodle taste. Good large pork chop slices. Fried dumplings were good but took a while to cook.

Okay so hands down the best freaking bubble tea I’ve ever had. The Creamy Earl Latte is to die for, I got regular ice, regular sugar and, bubble. It is on the sweet side because of the brown sugar. I appreciate Sanmiwago being open this late literally 1:00am right now lol. I also did a quick ASMR on the steamed chicken dumplings 😩😍😍. Best dumplings I’ve also had hands down in Soho🔥🔥. Thank you so much for this beautiful late night dinner looking forward to coming again very soon. This is my new late night spot . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I ordered Taiwanese beef noodles soup for takeout and it was a very quick process with the self-service ordering kiosk. The broth for the noodles is super flavorful and the beef is very tender. I also love the mushrooms in it, the cilantro, and the chives. Great food.

Best pan fried dumplings in the city. Fantastic. Are you ever going to actually open your William St location ?!?

I go here often but recently the wait has been insanely long. 30 plus minutes for my potstickers. This has happened twice now.

I only gave it 4 stars as I have not eaten there yet, just popped in to take a look at the menu. I will be back on this review once I am able to eat their food.

beef noodle soup: noodles were great, beef was great, just like in taiwan! broth was a bit thin, not a lot of depth and flavor. no chili oil on tables. ube ice-cream: gooood, huge scoop! lemon ice tea: nice, regular sweetness was not very sweet, refreshing

Great little Taiwanese eatery for late night eat. Was here after midnight and got decent food for the price.

Nice almost authentic taiwanese dishes and street food with reasonable price. Friendly staff and food is serve fast

+4

The service was good. Very friendly. Small location with limited seating. Open late. The food was very tasty and delicious. Will definitely come back and try their other dishes. Recommended

Great pan fried dumplings, hidden gem in Chinatown, the price for the dumplings was exactly what they give not a deal by any sorts. Took an insanely long time though

Almost a hole in the wall dumpling place which was formerly a Chinese bakery. Heared about this place from a food blogger and recommended the original pork and chive dumpling. It did not disappoint the side was great and the slight drizzle of soy sauce was just enough. The popcorn chicken was ok a bit salty with hint of anise cinnamon and some Chinese herb. Asked for a sauce but the lady said it was already in it which she could have meant part of the marinade. Price is reasonable. Their food is serve at your table.

Miss home, so searched up solid taiwanese spot. The pan-fried dumping 鍋貼 ("guo-tie") was exactly how I needed it to be. The popcorn chicken was not as salty as I thought and had a thicker coating than the other ones I have tried in other restaurants. Overall, I was very happy to have visited. Coming back for the dumplings again.

The food was mediocre at best, it isn't anything too special, just a regular meal. I didn't really like the braised roast pork at all because it isn't as advertised, I got a bunch of tiny pellets of meat instead that just tasted sour/tangy which wasn't my taste to be fair so I couldn't finish it. Egg skin tasted sour, too. I do recommend the beef noodles as they did taste good 👍 $40 for everything included tipping $5 and taxes $2 not sure if its really affordable $7 for popcorn chicken

I’m torn about giving a review for this place. 1st night in NY we stopped here for dinner. 5 out of 5 stars! Service was excellent! Food was literally the best I’ve tasted in my entire life. The Beef & Basil Rice Bowl was incredibly delicious! The yellow chive and pork dumplings were so good I thought I was going to cry. So we went back a couple days later. This time a complete weirdo was working the counter. Not sure if he was on something or having a psychotic schizophrenic episode but we were too afraid to eat there. No eye contact and wouldn’t even respond when we were talking to him. As we waited for our food, I pulled out my pepper spray to have just in case he was having a break down. Very scary! We got back to our hotel room and was able to enjoy our food. It was once again delicious. And glad we didn’t have to die to get it.

Pork chop over rice had way too much rice and the pork chop was heavily breaded but no flavor. It came with a black pepper sauce which didn’t suit our preferred flavor profile. The eggs were also sour for some reason.

Ordered beef noodle pho and Thai iced tea, I wish I can fairly rate this place based on food but I can’t , since I waited an hour and never received it. I was disappointed since I reminded them twice about the soup , and the 3 rd time they finally remembered. They prioritize take out as it seemed. The Thai iced tea was good but wouldn’t come back . Service horrible. Would have loved to try the food if it ever came. The 2 stars is literally for the tea

review for the popcorn chicken as I'm checking out every spot on Chinatown. This is actually the worst I've had so far - good spice mixture but the meat itself is very cheap/bag quality with an excessive amount of breading. so far it's the only one I would never visit again.

The wait for food was pretty long and for some reason the dumplings were out after the main entree? The food was pretty mediocre for the price and I wouldn’t recommend the dumplings, but it was convenient so what can you really expect! But if you have the time to find somewhere else,,,,I’d recommend doing that

Very very bad experience. The front desk casher attitude is very bad. No matter what you said, he always gave limited responses. Even when the food is ready in the kitchen, they will not let you know until you went to ask them three times. Do not waste your money and your time here.

Ordered one set of dumplings and two Bubble teas, they mentioned that it would take 10-15 minutes for the order, it took almost 50 minutes even though there was not many customers or orders
