First time I came I loved it. Was back in Chicago and stopped by excited but was left disappointed this time. One worker was outside smoking with a friend and peeping through the window to check on her coworker. The only worker in there was beginning to struggle and gave my order to a different customer. Also could use some better food safety practices as I observed some not so clean habits. Not every customer wants their food sneezed on..

Good for what it is, if you manage your expectations. It's fast food, so expect fast-food quality and you won't be let down. Reasonable prices, nearly instant service, and if you stop at closing time you can usually get a bonus bao due to inventory clearing. The atmosphere is about the same as any other fast-food joint, so again just manage your expectations.

I like it. I wish we had more places like this.

This is an amazing concept. Contactless ordering and food pickup. You literally order off a kiosk screen and pickup your food from a takeout window when your name pops up. The restaurant was clean. The bao aka dim sum were more bread-y than a traditional dumpling. I preferred the potstickers. Love the restaurant. It was clean and prices were fair.
