A place not at all special, The food wasn't particularly good good atmosphere, but the food very late, the attention is little or non-existent but that is if in the end the tip request will be reluctant. I expected more from him place, It takes a long time for the food to arrive and the snacks arrive last

Everything here was amazing. We got the pork dumplings and hot oil which was probably some of my favorite dumplings i think I’ve ever had, plus they’re handmade. The Dan Dan noodles were phenomenal, perfectly spicy and numbs the back of your throat with how much Sichuan pepper they put in it. Then we got the Red chili pepper chicken, which had an abundance of chilies, peanuts fried garlic, and was also amazing. Plus they home make their own soy sauce, which is also amazing. 10/10 would Chinese food again.

So happy to find this place. We love dumplings! Add a packet of sugar to your soy sauce and vinegar mixture for good dumpling sauce. Also I like to add garlic… we went twice in one weekend and both times the guy tried to tell us they don’t have garlic even though it comes in their dishes ? so good I didn’t take pictures!

What a treat! Some of the best dumplings I have ever had, and the spare ribs were falling off the bone. We were seated after a short wait, and ordering with the QR code made it really fast and easy! The art on the walls was gorgeous, and did I mention the dumplings already? I got the pork soup dumplings and pork steamed dumplings, and both were fantastic. I also got to watch them hand wrap them, which was fun! 100/10 will go to again, probably tomorrow!

Drove by Santa Cruz, didn’t expect this Chinese noodle restaurant provides authentic Chinese food, “AUTHENTIC!” Real Chinese food, well, also American Chinese food :) Dishes may not look good, but the flavor was excellent!

? Chicken Soup Dumpling - Savoury, very gentle sweetness in the background. Ground chicken, tender. Overall, it was a very balanced flavor, no particular flavor overpowered the other. The twisted top of the Dumpling was very firm/dry, though.??Braised Pork Belly - Spicy, mild-medium level, not an intense heat. You feel the spicy in the middle of eating, and it lingers gently in your mouth at the end. Meaty flavor, 5 spice is supporting the meatiness throughout the chew. ⚠️Order rice on the side, it makes it more a meal and balances the flavor.?? - Pressure Cooked Pork Feet - Mostly skin/bone, with traces of tender meat sprinkled throughout. Spicy, mild level, the spice comes in more at the end. Gentle sweetness in the background.? Everything was ok overall. Nothing was bad, but nothing we ate amazed us.

Soup dumplings are so delicious! They're so good you don't even need any chili oil or anything.A few years ago I stopped eating chow mein because it was always sad cardboard, but here it's delicious and fresh!Did I mention the delicious soup dumplings?The tofu and celery veggie dish was different and tasty, the steamed bao was really yummy and the food all came out super quick.
I will go there again and again. The food is wonderful.

We are eating again here after joining our extended family a few nights ago. Food is really good. We had the chicken chow mein and Mongolian beef but our absolute favorite is the Walnut Shrimp! It's to die for! That is why we had to come back. This Chinese restaurant has a clean and authentic atmosphere. Staff and service is fast, friendly, and attentive. We can't wait to come back when we are back in town!
