M Greenpoint

After going to M Shanghai on Grand St. for many years, I’m so happy this location opened in my neighborhood! The steamed vegetable dumplings are still my favorite.

Stopped in this weekend with friends. The menu is dense and without much description so we asked for some guidance from our server. She was excellent, making sure everyone got what we were craving and also getting a great sampling of the menu. We had the soup buns and scallion pancakes which were both excellent. For entrees we had the Mu-​Shu Pork, the Classic Ho-​Fun with beef, and the Awesome Beef. All were excellent!
Our service was excellent and our server was genuinely excited how much we liked her recommendations. The ambiance is very relaxed with groups of people having a good time. The manager seemed a little intense, The manger seemed a little intense, sometimes visibly deriding her staff for mistakes and cursing loud enough for everyone to hear when there was some mix up with a check, which all seemed slightly unprofessional but we didn’t let that bother us.

I had both delivery and dine in experience and I was happy with both. The service was great, and the prices are fair. Huge selection that can be confusing, but at least there’s something for everyone.

Im used to the original M. Shanghai so when I had a craving for chinese, I decided to visit it’s sister location instead. I had the popular crispy chicken in ginger sauce, but I subsituted ho fun noodles because I didnt feel like having the rice, and it was a good decision for me. The chicken was done with the right amount of crispness. Certainly not overdone. Nestled in a sweet ginger sauce. 1^st bite you taste the sweet but then the aftermath of ginger kicks in with a dash of heat (which I added more of) plus the added sweetness of fresh cucumber makes all textures and taste combine beautifully. And because I like to overindulge on occasion I had to have the juicy pork buns as a starter… my favorite that never disappoints.

Had a great experience with M Greenpoint takeout! Shanghai style lo mein was flavorful! The texture of the noodles reminded me of udon/​Korean muk. Also ordered the Crispy Chicken w/​Ginger & Sweet Chili Sauce. The chicken was sliced into small/​medium pieces that’s were the right balance of meat and crispness –not overly dredged in batter like some places and not chewy.
Thumbs up for this place ordering again tonight!

It’s nice outside even tho it snowed all night. The sun is out so I’m getting soup dumplings. Jeff is here and he always says inappropriate things to our wait staff. Let’s see what happens today

This place is awesome! Great happy hour ($ 3 beer, $ 5 wine) with a great draft selection. We were a table of 5, and we got the steamed pork buns (heaven), awesome beef (it was AWESOME), chinese eggplant, sesame pancake with pork belly and egg, curried chicken and potatoes, and lo mein. It was all very tasty and the app portions are generous. Not sure why there is a 2 star down there, half of the table were asians and we all approve!

First I would like to give 5 stars for the Shanghai Pork Wonton soup and Pork & Chive Dumplings. They both are amazing!!!
The service is amazing as well. In my opinion everything came out a little too fast honestly. In a way it’s great but at the same time I kid you not it took about 2 mins to get the food. I was in the mood to seat and talk for a little bite but then the food came so we eat and just left. I wasn’t a fan of that experience.
The other food was not anything special. It was very bland. I got the Double pan fired noodle with shrimp and the person I was with got some dish with beef and garlic and it tasted the same.
Highly disappointed especially since the rest of the reviews were amazing. I will go back probably in the next months to see if anything changes– I’m not looking to cross this resturant off my list just yet!

M Greenpoint is exactly what the neighborhood needed. Xi’an Famous Foods is good but doesn’t deliver; Chinese Musician delivers but is… less than great.
The food is reliably excellent (though I’d suggest renaming «Awesome Chicken» as «Good Chicken,» since it’s the least-​great thing I’ve ordered) if a little on the expensive side.

I am THOROUGHLY disappointed. I have eaten at and ordered from M Shanghai many times and absolutely love it. I was excited to hear about M Greenpoint opening — and I ordered this past weekend much to my dismay. We ordered Spicy Kung Pao Chicken and Spicy pork Cellophane noodles. Both were entirely inedible in my opinion. The chicken from the kung pao was of extremely low quality — The reason I like M Shanghai normally is because i felt the quality of the meat was good, but I could not eat this chicken. It was chewy and i found a small piece of bone or something and it was all dark meat. The noodles were also not appealing to me and maybe that’s just because I was expecting something different. At these prices, I expect high quality meat! I hope this is an anomaly and not a trend.

A welcomed new Chinese restaurant to Greenpoint. Pretty spacious restaurant with a bar, clean, and tasty food.
I’ve visited once so far, and dined in. Of course I had to try the juicy pork buns. I wasn’t expecting much, however I was pleasantly surprised that they were actually good! They’re soup dumplings (xiao long bao), and well-​made where the skin is not too thick or thin, and the soup is a burst of rich flavor. The dipping sauce had a generous amount of ginger. Definitely a repeat item!
I also had the beef ho fun (noodles slightly overdone) and the kung pao chicken (overly salted). Although these dishes didn’t turn out the best compared to more authentic restaurants, they are still happy additions to the takeout rotation.
I must say, their current service is laughably terrible. I think they’ll need a couple weeks to get in proper wait staff, but there was one particular waiter bumbling around when I dined. No fault to the restaurant itself – seems like everything else was going smoothly despite this individual’s daze.
Looking forward to ordering takeout in the near future.

Love, love, love! My faves are the juicy pork buns (to die for) and the awesome chicken, which truly is awesome!!! Now that they have their liquor license, this place is pretty much close to perfect as far as I’m concerned. Very nice/​attentive wait staff too.

May gave me all the recommendations and I happily took each one. Almost as happy was I then as when I got home to bestow my perfectly prepared bounty. We had pea leaves, shanghai noodles, and hot and sour soup, all done in vegetarian styles, and my dining companion aptly appreciated the way that each dish soared above the «standard» iteration we are used too.
Did I mention I got a hug on my way out?
And seriously, the pea leaves. Never would have known their beauty if it were not for hers.

Have ordered here about once a week since they opened. The food is consistently good. Pork wonton soup is great comfort food on a super cold day. Some of the best lo-​mein I’ve ever had, but the spicy pork cellophane noodle is still my favorite. Fast delivery service.

We ordered delivery from here — really enjoyed the dishes we got: pork buns (they are actually soup dumplings), sesame pancake, tic-​tac-​toe (garlic) chicken, crispy chicken, and Shanghai noodles. The food came within 30 minutes of ordering and arrived hot and well packaged. This is definitely a step above the standard delivery Chinese and we will order from here again. It’s missing the American standards of Sesame and General Tso’s, but I’m fine with that. The soup dumplings were my favorite part, which I’m pumped about because I’ve yet to find good ones in the neighborhood.

Yum! A nice changeup from the usual Chinese restaurant. We ordered delivery so I can’t comment on the service. Food was tasty — subtler flavors than we expected but obviously freshly cooked. The pork buns were out of this world. This is definitely a step up from our goto Chinese takeout. Prices are a little higher but reasonable considering food quality. Portions were large. We’re looking forward to dining in soon.

Excellent ! Start with the juicy buns. Awesome chicken, beef hofun, kung pau chicken, delicious. .great new place, staff friendly and helpful.
