Their wonton noodle soup is pretty authentic and is one of my favorite things to order! They also have other types of noodles to choose from and they're all fresh and authentic as well. Some of their other dishes aren't as perfect but overall their food is on par with what you can get from Chinatown.

I ordered braised beef rice and wonton soup with 3 different fillings. The beef was soft and tender and the wonton is delicious!

Solid wontons, but everything else just okay.
So obviously, the best things I’ve had from this place were wontons. Both the pork and shrimp towns and the spicy pork & crab wontons were juicy and comforting. I slightly preferred the chili oil kick from the latter, but the regular wontons in soup were also excellent.
But once I wandered off the wonton path, it got shakier. I tried the braised beef stew over noodles and the same stew over rice, plus the garlic wings. The beef itself was tender and flavorful, and the rice version I had in-store was quite good. The noodle version, though, was bad. Not because of the beef or broth, but because the noodles had a faint ammonia smell, so we ended up tossing it.
The garlic wings were decent, if a bit too salty. Since the soup that came with the wontons was mild, it worked fine, but on their own, probably a bit overwhelming.

Shu mai was pretty good. Better than most Chinese food places that serve dim sum in Boston.
The shrimp dumplings were good, but I wasn't really a fan of the thick dumpling skin that it uses.
Garlic crispy wings were indeed crispy and not too heavy on the garlic. Felt like a good quality wing. Wasn't dry at all and had a good flavor.
The wontons in the wonton noodle soup were good. Better than any other place that has wontons that I can think of. Didn't care much for the noodles.
Steamed roasted pork buns were also good.
We had a great meal! Food is fresh and tasty 😋 we will make this one of our favorites! If you haven’t yet it’s a must try restaurant.

I don't often review and I'm picky when it comes to food but the food here is pretty authentic. I am from Hong Kong so we know a thing or two about wonton, the wonton here is good. I have been coming here for months, the price is reasonable, I'll definitely be coming back again

Excellent giant wontons, could use a bit of salt. Skip the wonton with noodle and just get the wonton soup. Beef dishes are a skip. Big portion for side of Gailan (Chinese broccoli) and perfectly cooked. HK coffee w bit watery but good.
