Good place to get dim sum, but not too many options. The dumplings and buns we got were delicious! But the lotus leaf was not our favorite.

This place was such a treat and everything was so good! All of the flavors were great, savory, fresh, and satisfying. We ordered the sautéed spinach and garlic, the XLB, the Shrimp Xiu Mai, Taiwanese noodles, custard buns, and BBQ pork buns.
All dishes were great! I loved the xiu mai and my husband loved the bbq pork buns especially.

Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!

Dishes were very flavorful and very generous portions! 1 dish per person is more than enough

Delicious dumplings and good variety. Nice inside room and a small patio. I will come back to try more.

Menu items are hit or miss but the hits are on a different level. The pea shoot and prawn dumplings are amazing but the mapo tofu is unbelievable. Best I’ve had. It’s on the sweeter side, but not too much and the balance of flavors just knocks it out of the park. Incredible. A must-try.

Green beans and XLB were great! Beef soup was meh, only ate half of it, and their lotus rice wasn’t to our taste at all. Service was great.

Might have ordered the wrong items but the food lacked flavor.

Solid place to get Chinese food that’s a little cheaper than Taste down the street. They’re also a good place to get dim sum in Palo Alto (although in my opinion the dim sum prices are still pricey, but that’s Palo Alto for you).
This time we got the cumin lamb and sautéed broccoli with some white rice. The cumin lamb was very good. It was a bit salty, but this dish usually is.
The service was a little slow this time. The cumin lamb was served before the rice so we had to wait a little to get our rice to eat with the dish. But I’ve gone before and haven’t had that problem with the service before so it could just be that time.
The inside’s really new and clean. It feels modern and warm. Also the bathroom’s surprisingly large and nice. It definitely feels like an expensive restaurant bathroom.
Parking: There are many parking garages in Palo Alto so it’s not too hard for us to find parking

Eh... Just ok...Not great... It's Chinese take out place, moonlighting as a hip trendy restaurant...
Soup had no taste and the main course was bloating...Wait staff seemed disinterested... Then the bill...Equivalent of a high end place... Wish the food and service were, also...
