Generally disappointing. The Taiwanese Gua Bao are not authentic and if they are meant to be some kind of fusion style, the sweet thousand island dressing taints everything it touches. As others have noted, the XLB are definitely frozen and the skin is tough and not delicate. Food generally salty. Service, while not bad, doesnt have anything that makes stand out or hospitable. The little cat roving around the dining room was the only thing charming, but also very questionable.

Cheap food. Staff were nice and helpful, but unfortunately the food was not good. This is not the New Dumpling King that was there 10 years ago. The xiao long bao was watery inside and the green onion pancake had almost no green onion. The dried pork bun felt like it had a meatball

The best pork pot stickers, I think I've ever eaten. I got the order to go, ordered online, and drove 5 to 7 minutes, only waited about 3 minutes after I got there.

Dumplings were fine, but the guy who took us to the table and waited on us started clipping his fingernails right in the front, in very clear earshot of our table. Would be very concerned about the cleanliness of a place where that is accepted.

Very comfortable, no-nonsense little eatery!Nice variety of items on menu; many different kinds of dumplings - all delicious! The braised string beans were so fresh & tasty! The salt & pepper chicken wings were so flavorful and crispy, yet tender inside!The service was friendly and efficient... an overall pleasant experience!We're definitely going back to try other menu items!Vegetarian options: Several vegetable dishes are offered.
Steamed dumplings were not freshly made(most likely frozen).Pan fried buns were just steamed buns with a fried bottom. Dan Dan noodles were way off. Our utility plates were tiny (like used for espresso), I asked for a dipping sauce dish , and they provided the plastic disposable condiment takeout container.

It's pretty small and jank inside by American restaurant standards but seems normal for a random Chinese restaurant. We ordered food and it came out quickly. Their cong you bing is pretty weird (see picture). Their Xiao long bao is pretty soupy. Their other dishes are nice size and flavorful. There was a small very very very cute pet cat wandering around.

Pathetic pricing! Had a mapo tofu rice , a stupid nasty ass hot and sour soup, and 12 dumplings/pot stickers the homeboy charged me $40. Gtfooh! The homeboy so called gave me a discount already.. discount my ass.... Hella gross never had a hot and sour soup taste so nasty in my life....

Dimsum across the street is better, better prices and nicer owner.

Had all vegetarian dishes - veg dumplings, green onion pancake, string beans, mapo tofu. All very tasty, good portions, esp loved the dumplings. Very reasonably priced, too. Would have liked larger plates to eat from.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options.

It looks a little sketchy at first, but there are some cute details. The food is hot and satisfying, with well-sized portions for a reasonable price. The service is quiet, but competent. Dumplings and soups are great comfort food, while the honey walnut prawns and lemon chicken are a good take on american-style chinese food. It’s worth a convenient detour to eat here.Vegetarian options: The mixed vegetable soup was very hearty. There were plenty of vegetarian options and probably some vegan ones too.Wheelchair accessibility: Had buttons on the door to open automatically if necessary.

Xiao long baos and pan fried dumplings were very good. The price and quantity is also great.
