This was one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. But, they decided one random day to just close permanently. They didn't post a sign, they didn't tell any of their loyal customers who go on pretty much a weekly basis. No goodbye or thank you for your patronage. Nothing. It's disgraceful how some people run their businesses.

It was ok .....
Portion ratio of chicken vs money spent is not good
8 pieces is fair for the price they charge not 6

Although there are not a ton of vegan selections we found the food to be totally fresh and well prepared. The veggie dumplings are so fresh they fall apart!

If you want the special vegan menu you might have to ask. It's got your typical american Chinese dishes on it. There are also a few vegan options on the main menu. I got the vegetable dumplings and vegan general tsos. Both were lovely. Updated from previous review on 2024-02-13

The food and staff were great. Try the deep fried wonton. You won't be disappointed.

They had great veggie options including a special vegan menu. We got the veggie dumplings, veggie bun, green onion pancakes and vegan mongolian beef. Everything was excellent and we will be coming back again!

Tasty shaolong baos, har gows, green onion pancakes (paper thin and cripsy!)! Friendly service. We were the only ones there during a late lunch, which worked well for us!

Delicious vegan dumplings! The vegetarian/vegan options are marked on the menu, which I didn’t find anywhere else among all the restaurants on this street, when I was looking for vegan items on menus in the windows. There were two vegan specials written on the whiteboard- vegan BBQ buns and a vegan mock chicken dish. After I ordered the veg dumplings to go, I noticed a small *all-vegan* menu taped to the wall! I’ll go back and sample these when I’m back in that area!

Hands down the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The green onion pancake is straight from 99 Ranch freezers. The dishes have visible salt on top. I had to drink 5 cups of water to wash down the sodium. The best part of the meal must be the rice, but it’s still the worst rice I’ve had in SF. On top of that, the price is 1.5x whatever you can find in Sunset or Inner Richmond. $2 per dumpling is just insane. For the string beans, they didn’t peel the veins, so good luck chewing and swallowing.At least they are happy to keep pouring me water on request to wash down the salt. ?Edit: towards the end of the meal, the water was the best part

There was no service. They didn’t care about us at all, even when we took a nap, fell asleep, and woke up in the dark. We spilled water by accident and they didn’t even bother at us, just stare at us from a distance as if we were autistic. On the other hand, the food was very delicious.

A very solid dumpling spot in a nice neighborhood. The prices are somewhat high for the small portion sizes, but the quality makes up for it. Highly recommend the pork soup dumplings and the egg rolls.

Meat in the wontons tasted like it had gone bad. We left after just eating one wonton.
