We dined in the restaurant years ago and came back here for the first time after the Covid years. It’s changed to a self serve restaurant basically with a single server and place your order at the kiosk. Then they bring your food. Food quality, portion size and price has also changed in my opinion. After the meal plan on throwing out your own disposable containers like a fast food restaurant. No tip needed that was a plus. No water too.

A bit bland for my taste. The chili oil wasn’t hot either. The service was great.I do wish they didn’t use takeout cutlery for dine in though.

Found this little gem through Social Media. 20 mins driving is nothing for such high quality of food. It was surprisingly fantastic and wholesome. The place is small but nice décor and very clean. No contact self order kiosk was interesting. Great for social distancing in a pandemic era.My all time favorite was the preserved vegetables with fish fillets soup. The broth was bubbling hot, the sourness of pickles vegetables and fresh slices of fish intertwined of flavor hit you right on the spot. It was so delicious I bought two extra soups for home.We also love the tofu tops with spicy pork and vegis. A delicious unique dish I haven't seen elsewhere. Could use a bit more seasonings. Still love it.The dumplings doughs are chewey and perfect thickness. The one with peanut sauce is the must try. The baos with preserved/green vegetables were tasty. The shrimps dim sum crunchy and chewy textures make you want to savour it on your tongue. Can't tell you how happy we felt after leaving the place. We ordered so much food for brunch but they were all so good, we finished it all in one sitting. Definitely will come back.

Very small place and best for takeout or casual dine in. Good for cheap eats. Electronic self service in the front to select your food choice. The food comes in disposable bowls and not really a big fan of hot soup in plastic containers. The soup was scorching hot and couldn’t really eat it until 30+ min after a bit salty as well. Dumplings were ok
The food is as delicious as always. Best soup dumplings around!. The place was renovated but still as small and with the same setup so no much different. I always give a 5 star to this small restaurant but we did not like the lack of table service. No one comes to take your order or bring you tea nor do they bring your food to the table as used to be and that for us is a big nono. BUT the food and the hosts are as good as always.
Service was courteous and quick. I got Udon and the eight Treasures dessert. The food was hot and fresh. The Udon was fantastic, and the eight treasures were well-made.

You order your food on a kiosk which I think is really cool. The menu items are labeled so it’s very easy to follow. I went on a Thursday night so it was quieter than usual so getting a table was easy, usually seating at the Edison location is hard depending on which day of the week you go on so you might have to wait for seating to become available. The inside is small but very nicely decorated I really enjoyed the soup dumpling wall art.Recommended Dishes:Spicy pork dumplingsChicken dumplingsPeanut butter spicy wontonsShanghai sticky rice shumaiEgg yolk shumaiSpicy pork noodle soupYuzu iced teaTiger milk tea

I used the electronic station to order my food which i thought was pretty cool. They texted me when the food was done so that is incredibly helpful if I didn’t want to wait in the lobby for my food. I loved the bubble tea and the soup dumplings I got. Both were delicious, but nothing too mind blowing. The golden lava buns might need a little bit of work since when I bit into one, the texture of the lava was gritty and sandy. In total, I paid about $$20 for everything which is a pretty good deal.Overall, I would probably stop by here again if it was on my way.Parking: There’s not plenty of parking, but just enough. It is in a very tiny strip mall type area so there’s only so much parking for all the surrounding restaurants and shops.

This place used to be good, it is now a takeout only restaurant where you can sit yourself after ordering from kiosk. The soup dumpling ? skin is too thick, lacking flavor and not juicy enough. The stirred fried noodle is too salty, and the salty soy tofu tasted like soy sauce soup. Very disappointing.

Pork steam buns taste not bad but texture, thickness is much more worse than before. It looks like machine make instead of hand made. Shanghai pan fried u-done is totally different as before. Taste is too sweet and not Shanghai style. Very disappointed compared to the original food that old chef made.
