Food: Gourmet paradise, but at a cost

Thumbling's standout dishes are the chicken soup dumplings, spicy pork XLB, and the shrimp and pork siu mai - all described as divine, overflowing with robust flavors and freshly sourced ingredients. However, the chefs' artistry and generous portions aren't enough to justify the exorbitant prices to some diners, proving that creativity and variety do come with a hefty price tag.

  • Great Quality

    Fresh, well-sourced, premium quality ingredients consistently highlighted.

Vibe: Foremost drinks, distressing ambience

The cramped seating, noisy environment, lack of privacy and overall discomfort mar the vibe at Thumbling, regardless of its spot-on drinks and trendy hotspot reputation. Even though it's a darling on social media, this isn't the place for a romantic date or peaceful dinner, as the ambience leaves much to be desired.

  • Great Drinks

    Amazing drinks; surpasses expectations, even in establishments known for food.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Seating is cramped and close, causing discomfort and limiting space.

Perks: Service woes cloud dining experience

Though it has vegetarian options, Thumbling falls hard on other aspects. Parking and reservations are nightmares; noise levels are through the roof, literally; and the outdoor seating feels like a sardine can. Large parties and children are not accommodated, and subpar, often neglectful services are underwhelming.

  • Okay For Diets

    Vegetarian options are available, though selection may be limited.

  • Bad Service

    Service often described as rude, neglectful, and lacking customer care.
