Very nice and clean place. Our waitress was super friendly. I got dry hot pot which a little too oily but overall still good. Husband loves his crispy beef. Will definitely visit again.

One of my favorite local restaurants. The food is always delicious and I get take out about once every other week. The Dry Pot specifically is my favorite.The service was also wonderful and the atmosphere is great.

Food was amazing! The service was fast and the staff were super kind! Somebody I think was the owner was super sweet and kept checking in on us! The atmosphere is great, it's a cozy, quiet, little restaurant, perfect for a calm dinner after a long day! We ordered the peking duck and a couple soups, as well as steamed shrimp dumplings. The dumplings were amazing and so were the soups! We got a whole duck for $70, while a bit pricey it was worth every penny! I absolutely adored this restaurant and it will definitely become one of my family's go to Chinese places! Can't reccomend enough!

Stopped at this cute little family owned restaurant for lunch on a lazy Sunday. The place was busy but we were able to get seated pretty quickly. Staff were so friendly and the service was amazing. We ordered the Shanghai soup dumplings, Dao’s short ribs, crispy orange shrimp and the chicken mala dry hot pot. Everything was so delicious we forgot to take pictures!

What a local gem!! The food was absolutely delicious, so good I went back the next weekend after my first visit. Highly recommend the Dry Pots, a great value and like nothing I’ve tasted before.The service was equally as wonderful, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s also BYOB!Will definitely be returning soon.

I sample local Chinese restaurants wherever i am in the US. This restaurant has some very unique dishes (the house special dry pots i think it was called) and flavors i have never seen anywhere in all my travels. My father and mother who are both accomplished Toisanese and Cantonese cooks themselves enjoyed dining here as well.The staffers are each quite warm and effusive, the dining room is a pleasant space with high ceilings with clerestory windows and warm lighting. we enjoyed it so much we tried to go back the next day but a busy wedding schedule precluded another repast there. We also considered it very inexpensive for the quality experience. Highly recommended.

I am not sure what I am missing. Ordered Chicken with Broccoli. It was extremely bland and the sauce was watery. Got take out and when I got home, I had to add my own seasoning.

Came here for lunch with friends on a Saturday. Service was prompt and waiter/waitress made recommendations on the right amount of food to order if we all wanted to try the each dish.My favorite was the cold sesame noodles and eggplant with garlic. The sesame noodles did not come smothered in peanut butter sauce like some places do it. This was more a red chili oil mix (not that spicy though.)
