Yummy food at a decent price point. The buns were great (!) but the dumplings were just okay.

the food here was so horrendous for the price. noodles pretty much always taste weird, dumplings are extremely mid, appetizers are extraordinarily overpriced. would not recommend to my greatest enemy. food is definitely not authentic and you have to self-serve despite the exorbitant charges.

A big no. The chicken soup is as bland as water, a sacrilegious dish to Chinese food culture. I heard my ancestors crying when I was having it so couldn’t even finish. The dumplings are mediocre. Just take a walk to central sq to get something more authentic.

Dumplings are ok. Havent tried a noodle or katsu bowl yet. Panfried pork and cabbage dumplings are fine. The petit chicken dumplings with the spicy sweet soy sauce with minced garlic are very good. The sauce appears to be chili oil based but i wouldve preferred it to be spicier. Other than that though, theyre still good. Vibe is fast casual - think Panera-ish. Its a good choice to have in the area. Open until 20:00 which is good for when youre working late in the office.

Likely the worst dumplings I've had during my trip to the States. Portion sizes are very small and the dumplings are so small and chewy with very small amounts of filling - if it wasn't for the sesame oil I would be asking if I had ordered 2 day old ravioli pasta! Staff were lovely.

For having dumplings in their name, they sure do terrible dumplings. These were the smallest dumplings I have ever seen in my life, and not to mention they were over cooked and tasted more like bad tortellini than a dumpling. They weren't even that cheap

Ambiance: casual shop with a small menu Parking: street/meter Attire: very casual Food: mediocre. Good for a quick lunch but not amazing. The dumpling dough is a bit tough but the noodle soup broth was great Service: order at counter then they bring you your number at your table. However everything else is mostly self serve such as extra plates utensils water and napkins. Then you drop off the dirty dishes when you're done on your way out.

If you're looking for some Asian food in Kendall, this is your place!! Honestly, portions are on the smaller side for the price and food tastes 7/10 on authenticity (still has good flavors though). Would go back if in the area for the quick service and nice interior -- it's a good place to meet up with someone for a quick bite!

Went here with my AWESOME roomie!!!!! I got pan-fried vegetable dumplings, and though they were yummy I’d say they were a little pricey ($8 for 6 pieces). My roommate was not a huge fan of her spicy lo mein with beef. Would I come here again? Sure, but probably not my top choice.

Meh. Dan Dan noodles were surprisingly bland with cold tofu and a single piece of bok choy. Really missing peanuts or similar to add textural variety. Also messed up my order, but did quickly fix it.
Didn't realize how bad Dan Dan mien could be. Tasted like chemicals and the noodles were mushy like potatoes. The portion was really small which I didn't mind because the food was not that good anyways, but the menu said it had bok choy. They gave me like one leaf... considering they don't have many customers anyways I would think they wouldn't be so frugal with vegetables

The food was mid. I think this is a one time only thing where I will come into this restaurant. I’d recommend to just go to china town and get better food. Definitely needs improvement here.

Spicy chicken dumplings were smaller than it seems in the menu but they are super yummy

Delicious! The dumplings were my favorite and absolutely loved the sauce they came in. I dipped my baos and buns in the sauce too! 1 star removed because the menu is confusing when ordering. The call baos as Taiwanese buns and buns that are pictures as buns. So you're deciding between buns and buns... would be helpful to call them baos vs buns or have pictures. This confusion led me to ordering both accidentally, which was a delicious but expensive mistake! Hoping this can be improved for future patrons.
