Don’t bother going to Buford Hwy. All the flavors are right here !! All 5 dishes we had were on point!

The menu has plenty of options , including vegetarian. The dumplings were delightful

Everything was fresh and handmade. We had the fried, steamed and soup dumplings - very delicious!

This place is incredible. They really make everything too order by hand so the dishes do not be one out crazy fast. But trust me it’s better this way. An offshoot of northern china eatery without the waits. Inside is super nice, parking is free (rare in west midtown), overall a great casual spot for dim sum

Overall great place but I wish the prices were a tad bit little lower. Other than price, I love that this is one of the few places (sister restaurant of China Northern Eatery being another) where you can get Shanghai pan-friend steamed bun dumplings - and they even have a chicken option for that! They have both more experimental dishes and classic authentic Chinese dishes, so it’s a fun place to eat family style and order a few dishes to share. Free parking is a plus!

TERRIBLE-- just moved to the area and was excited to try this place because it had decent reviews. However our experience was Not good at all. We came in for lunch on a Friday and our waiter was new and has not been trained well. He couldn't answer any questions about the menu and had to stop and go in the back to get the answer. We ordered veg angel glass noodles, chicken glass noodles, pork buns, potstickers and veggie buns and drinks. The pork buns were not good at all and seemed to be Very low quality. We even had to ask them to sear them as they weren't pan seared. The chicken noodles were very bland. The veggie noodles were good. The veggie buns lacked flavor, the pork buns tasted very bad and were low quality. Also to make matters worse, the wicker basket that our buns were in had black mildew mold in the bottom. $90+ wasted. Would NOT recommend this place at All

Food was not good. Ordered the Thai tea with boba to start and the boba itself tasted terrible - like not cooked well. The rest of the food and especially the dumplings, were greasy/oily and just not great quality overall. I think you'd only enjoy this if you're not familiar with actually good Asian food.

I’ve been here a few times before and usually enjoyed my visits, but this last time was disappointing. I ordered the soup dumplings. Instead of being filled with broth like proper xiaolongbao, they were basically just regular dumplings…no soup at all when you poke them. So it was pretty underwhelming. Hopefully this was just an off day, but still personally disappointed.

Great lunch spot. It was busy when we were there but the service was good as was the food! Loved the dumplings and hot & sour soup! Can’t wait to go back and try more.

A really cute spot with great food! The only issue we had here was some dishes take a minute to come out. It was always worth the wait. I appreciate the advice when picking out a dish and the options are diverse but familiar. I also really liked the layout and decoration, we feel intimate with the kitchen, but also feel like we got the premium service!

Highly recommend if you’re in this part of town!

Ordered dumplings and soup to go on a not busy Sunday afternoon. Took over twenty minutes to get my food and my dumplings were all scorched on the bottom (completely my fault for not checking them before leaving the restaurant especially since it took so long and there were less than five people eating in the establishment). The wonton soup was great and I would possibly try other menu items next time and order in just to make sure that everything I ordered is cooked properly and edible.

I love dumplings so when I saw the sign had to try it out. Placed an order and waited over 45 minutes for my meal. First the dumplings came out then the lo main noodles took additional wait time. The dumpling was mediocre at best. They didn't give any sauce that usually goes with it.

Apparently if you order more than one item. You will not get it altogether. So don't come hungry.

The staff doesn't speak English very well. Most people were standing around the counter waiting. Nobody cleans the tables off. You do that yourself.

This is definitely my first and last time coming here. Some places the service is bad. But the food is good enough for take-out. However this isn't one of those places. The food matched the service bland, sub-par and terrible.

10/10. I always get some noodles and dumplings and take most of it home. The portions are large and there’s not a bad thing in the menu!
