The eggplant dish and fried tofu are my absolute favorites: always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and super satisfying. I’ve tried the chive dumplings and string beans too, but eggplant is the star — highly recommend.

The place is small and a bit cramped, with about 5–6 tables squeezed in, so it’s best for 2–4 people, not large groups. Tables can be a bit sticky, but it’s what you’d expect from a casual, affordable Chinese spot. Still one of the best for the price.

It was one of our the most tasteful dumplings and dimsum we have ever ate so far. We ordered fried pork dimsum and pork dumplings with chives, with some veggies on side and it was really delicious! I also recommend to try Thai ice tea. Delicious experience and very nice evening we spent. Thank you. :)

The food is very good and the prices are also good, but be careful about the final bill. Our server did not give us an itemized bill and the total amount seemed too much for what we got. I don't know for sure if there was a mistake, but the fact is that I didn't feel ok asking for an itemized bill. The food is worth the visit... Just keep good tabs on what you ordered.

Cosy little restaurant,
We had the spicy beef noodle soup (pretty spicy), beef chow mein, pancake and spicy chive dumplings.
Everything was very good and portions are pretty generous. The owner is very friendly and made us feel comfortable.
Decently priced for the portions.
We would recommend.

Came the other night with a few friends! It’s a tiny restaurant with 5-6 tables. Can get stuffy when packed especially with the kitchen just a couple feet away and one window for ventilation.

Food was decent, we ordered Shanghai soup dumplings, pan fried Shanghai dumplings, napa cabbage boiled dumplings, salt&pepper chicken wings, fried chive dumplings, spicy wontons and noodles. The dough was slightly too thick for all dumplings but you can tell it’s handmade! Chicken wings were crispy but lack flavor depth. Noodles had good chewiness, sauce was a tad oily. Chilli wantons were good!

I wanted so badly for it to be good because of the positive reviews. Maybe we went on an off-night but we weren’t impressed by the food? But we’re still willing to go back again if we’re in the area. Give it a try!! Was about $27-30 per pax from the food+tip.

The Brand

Their food is great but their front door is filthy with grime on a white door.. and when I mention it it goes nowhere.. so after several wonderful orders there I gave up.

Simple Green in a spray bottle and a towel wipe and it would be gone. I even did a little myself one time and pointed it out. Makes this guy wonder what he’s not seeing…

Every time I walk by I keep hoping they have gotten to it.

As a former dishwasher, bartender, barista it’s pretty basic standard by my training and experience..

A clean door and I’m there…
