This place was mid at best. I had been wanting to try it for years and finally got the chance to. I probably won't be back. The place was kinda dirty, sticky tables, bathrooms were gross... The ramen was good but nothing to write home about. They also only had ramen available so I wasn't able to try any appetizers which was disappointing and surprising for a Saturday night. There were people randomly screaming at the bar which was annoying. Overall just a meh experience.
We came here for dinner once with family. We got a couple types of the baos, and different ramen. The homemade dumplings were a crowd favorite, although the serving is a bit small for the price. The pork belly bao was good, I just don't think I'm a fan of the pork belly texture. We preferred the roasted duck bao. The ramen itself was good. Although we all got different kinds, the flavors were all very one-note. The broth was creamy and rich. The noodles had a good bite....
I come here fairly often and have no complaints ever. The food, amazing. Service, amazing. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Even on the busiest days you are treated like you’re a part of the family.
Loyal customer for the last 10 years, and looking forward to the next 10.
