Had a piece of cardboard on my food ✌🏼😔
Really solid Chinese food. It's kind of like a lower tier version of Din Tai Fung but without the crazy lines.
There was a 30 min wait that ended up being about 15 mins. Everything we ordered came out pretty fast and tasted amazing! The chicken dumplings were filling and comes with a tasty sauce. The Oxtail Noodle soup was delicate and tasteful as well! My favorite was Black Pepper Beef plate! I confirmed That’s what I smelled while walking past the restaurant on a previous day! 5 out of 5 stars
