You know when you walk into a Chinese restaurant and there's Chinese people eating there? This place, right here. Wow. The food is damned good. Outside of Boston's Chinatown, this is the most legit Chinese restaurant around. Tasty is an appropriate word here.

Excellent. Better than Din Tai Fung and the prices are more affordable. Great quality food in a nice space.
I've been there twice this year 2024. First time was during the summer with family. We sat outside at a table and it was very quiet and the beef dumplings wrapped in cabbage 🥬 was so mouth watering and dishes of food were nice sizes. I spent around $80-$200 on food for 3 people. The second time was in November for a pick up of dumplings to go. No one else sells beef cabbage but tasty dumplings because I've called Asian restaurant's and they only serve or sell pork dumplings.

One of my favorite restaurants in Lowell! I love the scallion pancakes, chicken fried rice, pork soup dumplings, egg rolls and any of the pan fried dumplings. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is gorgeous and it is totally worth a shot if you're in the area!

Only got some dumplings to go and they were fantastic. Good dumplings are hard to find.
Annoyingly they shoed us out about an hour before close, so don't go there before about 7pm on a Sunday. But probably new go to place when I make the trek out to Pop cultured in Lowle.
Also annoyingly shit parking but that expected in the city. All these problems are pretty irrelevant if the food is good ✌️

Soup dumplings were good (could have been better if the skin was thinner), service was good, nice atmosphere, however, also had the worst mapo tofu I have ever had.

Archetypal perfection!! The dumplings are served in huge portions and have a deliciously toothsome wrapper; the soup dumplings are unctuous and perfectly made; and the pork belly & rice bowl are absolutely out of this world, melt-in-your-mouth good with an excellent broth and delicious spicing. The prices are very fair and the service is excellent, it is a smaller intimate space but so perfectly comfortable with fun interior decoration. I will be going here regularly, I already know it!

Nice fresh hand made dumplings. A little different to traditional style that we are used to but tasty and generous in size.

I wanted to love this place, we had gone a few times and everything was always delicious. We always got assortment of dumplings. Unfortunately last time we went, half way through our meal, one of the cooks (he had on an apron) and no gloves comes out the kitchen, steps into the bathroom but doesn't close the door, blows a snot rocket into the sink, wipes his nose/face with hand and walks back out, not washing hands, nothing. I put my fork down and couldn't finish. Really disappointing....

I ordered the chicken rice noodles, general SOS chicken and Pork dumplings. Everything tasted good but before I could get to the dumplings... I spotted hair on the top of one of the dumplings. I brought it back promptly and the waitress said no that’s your hair! I said no I saw it right when I got the dish. I just had them replace the order and it took forever long so I just got it to go. Never again!

I am disgusted… there’s a whole bandage in the food. The cross contamination it’s terrifying. This is in the braised pork belly and egg over rice. We dined in and had left overs… came home and saw this while eating half way through!? My boyfriend said it could be in the rice to start off… WHITE RICE. While they make in bulk. While we dined in I also saw a cockroach walking around… seeing a review from a week ago here of finding it in takeout food too… this is crazy.
