Best Chinese food in the metro area. Service is a well oiled machine. Fast and efficient. Ambiance was everything it needed to be. When the flavors are this good you don't need many gimmicks.

Came here for a lunch on the way home from Tahoe and this place was good! The soup dumplings were so flavorful. The har gow & siu mai were also so yummy and hit so good. Place is super spacious and clean. During lunch they were not as busy so they were able to seat us pretty quick. We also ordered the salt and pepper calamari, green beans, honey walnut shrimp, pan fried pork bun, wonton in chili oil, and beef black bean chow fun. Everything hit and left us all satisfied!

The food is amazing!! No bad choices. The staff is excellent as well. One of the very few places in Elk Grove that always has great service.

As a guy who grew up in Taiwan, I'm rather picky about my Chinese food. This place was a taste of home. Everything we had was yummy! For me, the best thing was finding beef noodle soup that reminds me of my childhood. So good!

We drive over an hour to come here. We chose Friday night to give it a shot. We thought it woudl be a huge wait list, but was under 20 minutes. The place was hopping like normal. Service was fast and efficient as usual. We tried a few new items this trip and all were fantasic. The spicy green beans are a little spicy, still crunchy, and tons of flavor. They were out of the Chow Fun so we did the schezwan noodles a they were bomb. We always do the honey walnut prawns and they were fantastic. Switched up to wontons with chili oil and peanuts. Very good, but think we like the traditional dumplings better. Overall fantastic experience and we will continue to drive an hour to come here.

Been meaning to try this place for a while but there is always a line! We finally went early and got seated quickly. We ordered several items but the best were the soup dumplings. We could have eaten 10 each easily as they were delicious! The other items were good (spare ribs, fried rice and Hong Kong style chow Mei ) as well but the one item we didn't care for was the beef roll. The place could use with a good deep clean but we definitely will be back.

The food. The service. The ambiance. Everything about this place was amazing. We ordered so many different things and everything was just really good. No complaints! It's in a shopping center so you'll find parking and then we were able to get on the waitlist through Yelp. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos but nothing was left behind lol. Definitely recommend going here.

Quality has gone down in both flavor and service. Used to frequent but have noticed a big difference in the quality of food served. Ordered 4 dishes today and all were bland and a bit cold.
