The pork soup dumplings and beef braised soup was incredible. The noodles are next level and holy moly. This is probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to.

Such great food! Enjoyed every choice.

We ordered from this place and I couldn't wait to spread the word here. The Juicy pork and chicken Bao are delicious 😋🤤

I used to compare Din Tai Fung as a baseline, but this place is way better. The soup was flavorful and the dumplings were enjoyable by themselves.

Okra was cooked perfectly, with a lot of garlic, just the way I liked it!!

Food: tasted just as good as din tai Fung. Skin didn’t break and had decent amount of soup. Though it isn’t hot as other ones I’ve had where I was scared to burn myself. Their mini fried buns (I think are actually Chinese Sheng Jian Bao) were sold out. Recommend the mala xiao long bao.

Service: top notch service I believe his name was brenan or something like that. Walked us through the menu.

Vibe: nicely designed and they used quality hard products from seats to cups.

Tip: make a reservation online or be prepared to wait.

A cute place with friendly staff, and the vegetarian bao is the best I’ve ever had!

I have been here 5 times already and I truly believe these are the best soup dumplings I have ever had. EVEN COMPARED TO OVERSEAS. I have been to Japan and China and I believe these combine the quality of Japan and authenticity of Chinese cuisine.

The dumplings here have a perfect balance of juice, meat to skin ratio. They have stand out dishes you cannot typically find at other Chinese restaurants, such as pan fried soup dumplings and spicy xlb.

Not only are the dumplings good, but the majority of the menu tastes good. I love their dan dan noodles and wontons for their flavorful sauce.

The only dish I would absolutely avoid are the chicken soup dumplings. They are probably the worst thing on the menu, but everything else is amazing!!

Even after moving, every time I come to visit, this will be the first place I come back to.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before opening if you want to get a seat right away. On weekends you might want to arrive 20 minutes early. This does not account for parking! Street parking is not the best in this area.

Best dumplings I’ve had. It was my first time so I asked for the most popular - pan fried and steamed dumplings. We ordered shrimp noodle soup as well. Every dish was delicious. Can’t wait to come back to try other dishes.

It's a hole in the wall Taiwanese restaurant with the amazing Chinese food. Get there early. 20 min before the restaurant opened, the line was already forming. Absolutely worth the wait.

I’m so disappointed at this restaurant. We got to the restaurant at 1:50 pm on a Saturday, the waitlist said about 30 minute wait time. We put our name on the waitlist but knowing the restaurant closes at 2:15 pm we ordered takeout in case they were going to close. After waiting 10 minutes, we got a text saying our table is ready, but because we ordered takeout, the waitress said we can’t dine in and immediately took our names off the waitlist. Is it that difficult to change our takeout order to dine in instead? They were not willing to compromise at all.

After waiting about 30 minutes for our takeout order, I asked the waitress if our order was ready. She said she can’t check for me and that I had to go into the restaurant to the checkout counter to ask. When I went to the counter, our order had been ready and had been sitting there. No one called our number or let us know that we needed to go check ourselves. Our food wasn’t even hot by the time we got it.

Food was great, but extremely disappointed by the uncompromising service.

Food was amazing!!!! Delicious!!! Now I can see why they always have a line out the door. The service was the fastest I’ve ever received in my life😂 No joke I didn’t wait but for a moment for every item I had there! I’m so going back as soon as possible!!! Try the juicy fried pork bao but be careful for you rookies and expect to burn your lip from the juice if you don’t know what your doing 😂

OMFG! The best dumplings I’ve ever had hands down! We had just watched the Nutcracker and were starving. We waited in the cold but it was worth it. We had the juicy pork bao which I thought was the best thing we ate there. We had onion pancakes, spring rolls, vegetables bun, garlic green onion noodles, and other stuff I forgot. All really good. Service was fast nice and efficient. We were in and out fairly quickly. Hiiiiiiighly recommend.
