favorite place.
This is my go-to place for takeout. A great selection of dumplings and really fair prices. They are so good even room temperature. The staff is SUPER nice and friendly too. I recently made a big order and they were out of cucumbers. They went to the store and bought more cucumbers just to fill our order- how cool is that! I highly recommend them!

This is our go to Chinese takeout in the neighborhood. The kitchen is insanely fast (10-15 minutes for 6 dishes) and food is cooked consistently well and large volume. Our go to’s include pea sprouts, spicy pork dumplings, twice cooked pork, and string beans. Would recommend!!

If you love dumplings, this place is a dream come true. The dumplings are handmade, with perfectly thin wrappers that hold in all the juicy, flavorful fillings. Whether you go for the classic pork and chive, shrimp and ginger, or a veggie option, every bite is packed with freshness and just the right seasoning. The pan-fried dumplings have that perfect crispy bottom, while the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are rich, brothy, and absolutely delicious.
But beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or a cozy solo bite. The service is fast and friendly, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality you’re getting. Plus, their dipping sauces—especially the chili oil—take everything to the next level. Whether you’re a dumpling connoisseur or just in the mood for something comforting, this place is definitely worth a visit!

avoid!! nasty flavors in pork and beef dishes, gristly cuts, stale tasting oils. maybe the worst meal I've ever had out, except for the japanese/Chinese/Thai/Italian fusion in las Vegas a decade ago that made me so sick I didn't eat for a week. still barely digesting this one, so hopefully we'll avoid scraping the bottom of that barrel.

Very good service, beverage, and food!
I had vegetable fried rice and it was delicious. Also, I had the wonton soup and potstickers, but my favorite was the fried rice.
Beverage- I had the mango Lassie and omg it was so good, I highly recommend it.
