Friendly staff, attentive and efficient. Food was generally on point, prices reasonable. I actually liked the other standard dishes over the XLB although it was well steamed (with well done thin, chewy skin) and lots of meat filling (although the filling was somewhat of the mystery meat consistency). Not much to speak of for decor and overall somewhat run down inside but food quality is more important to me so I would go back if hankering for Chinese food! Parking is the usual hit or miss street parking, can be difficult to find around that area.

The dumplings were PERFECT! I loved the soup dumplings the most, but all were incredible. The staff were friendly and prompt, and the free tea was a great bonus! I highly recommend the postickers as well.

Came here with two friends after a Barry's workout and enjoyed the experience for dinner!

Good:
- Food came out pretty quickly and the place was fairly empty so we got seated immediately
- I enjoyed the meat bun here a lot
- The fried rice cake was super tasty here
- Not too oily food for a Chinese place
- Prices are good! Good value

Bad:
- Pretty casual place, you'll need to flag down the waiters

Overall this place was great and would come again.

Be careful if you have a peanut allergy - we warned the servers and they said nothing we ordered had peanuts in it, but we think the 蔥油大餅 caused an allergic reaction. We had two people with peanut allergies react to it, luckily they survived.

Food was otherwise good, but not worth risking your life.

Dietary restrictions: Be careful if you have peanut allergies.

Food was very good! We were full and satisfied! The udon noodles were very well seasoned and super tasty! The dumplings also tasted good too. There was tea served by the house, which we thought was very good! Thanks for the good food!
