The dumplings were delicious, the fried rice too BUT me personally (only bc I don’t like dark meat) for rice so good I wish there was a white meat option bc the dark meat looked gross. The service wasn’t great but it wasn’t horrible just wish staff was a bit friendlier.
I came in with 4 others and we ordered quite a bit of food. I was a little surprised that all the food came out to our table in to to boxes..
I ordered the creamy udon and it was only filled halfway (the bowl). The soup was lukewarm as was a few other things we had. I dont understand how you sell soup but dont have soup spoons?
Overall the dumplings were good. Everything else, youre better off going elsewhere.
Staff was great.

Guys I know I don’t review a lot but this place is by far the BEST. The XLB is BOMB. it’s kinda like din tai fung but better. I love the cucumber salad and yakiudon dish. The service was great everyone was super kind and helpful. Don’t let these 1 star reviews stop you from coming to this amazing restaurant.

This place is so amazing! The workers are so nice and I enjoyed the food especially the soup dumplings. I also loved their fries you must try them. There are a lot of different kinds of foods on their menu and I would definitely come here again.

Dylan was very helpful. Our food came fast. We definitely recommend the rice with shrimp! I enjoy the wings they were mango habanero. Very delicious and spicy

Located within the vibrant Orange Circle area, this small eatery caught our attention with its inviting atmosphere and cozy charm. While the restaurant may not be flashy, it offers a pleasant dining experience worth checking out. The food was enjoyable and well-prepared—though not necessarily exceptional or groundbreaking, it delivered solid flavors that satisfied. The service was friendly and efficient, contributing to the overall positive experience.
One of the few drawbacks is the parking situation. Since the Orange Circle is a busy and popular spot, finding nearby parking can be a challenge, especially during peak hours. Be prepared to walk a short distance, but nothing too inconvenient. That minor hassle aside, the restaurant maintains a fair price point, making it a great option for a casual meal without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is a convenient and pleasant stop if you’re already in the area.

On 02/13 ,My friends and I stopped by to eat but we had to walk out. The host/ server was sitting down eating and drinking and greeted us with no care at all he said “ take a look on the menu and let me know when you are ready” . He stayed in his table eating his meal (which I don’t find sanitary) he had no care at all even on a rainy day when business was slower than usual . We didn’t feel welcome at all, and had to look for another place to have lunch at . We definitely won’t be coming back which is terrible since the menu look actually pretty good ,but after that service with we is a big NO for us .
The service was awesome, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It’s a very pretty shop with lots of seating, very tidy, and has a bathroom. Parking is so-so but it’s downtown Orange, just an FYI. We thought the food was quite bland and kinda forgettable. It was pretty expensive for what you get and I think there’s better places around.
