I have been coming to this place for years and I’m sorry I’m just coming around to writing a review. It has been a favorite in the neighborhood ever since I moved here in 2020.

My most recent experience was on a Friday night. My partner and I were able to walk right in and I couldn’t believe it was empty. I do, however, get this as takeout more regularly than I do go and sit down. We were greeted immediately and we had our pick of seats. The staff quickly brought water and took our order as soon as we were ready.

First off, the dry aged beef potstickers are the absolute best I’ve had without a doubt. Juicy, tasty, perfectly crispy on the outside. If you get nothing else, get these.

We also had the Shanghai Belly noodles which were outstanding. The “worst” thing we had was a chicken bun, which was really good but couldn’t compete with the other things.

Overall, if you’re in the neighborhood please checkout this place for a quick snack or a delicious Chinese meal!

We order from this place maybe once every couple weeks and never have a problem, however tonight the portion size of the veggie noodles was literally halved. I’m pretty shocked considering the portions are usually pretty good, extremely disappointing.

Honestly the worse Chinese restaurant I’ve been in New York.

Great place to just sit down and eat a quick meal or order one to go. I recommend the juicy pork dumplings. Quick service if there are only 5 other people if not then it is worth the

Looked like a super cute and humble spot to go to in a pricy area. But the food was indeed pricy for small portions. Glad I tried it; won’t go

The hard work that goes into making hand made dumplings can be tasted in every bite

I ordered the wonton soup for dine-in, which was really good but a little pricey at $10/ small tub. Like others mentioned they serve everything in to-go containers (which is fine) but they didn’t offer a plastic wanton soup spoon. So you sort of have to wrestle with the flat plastic spoon to eat the wontons/drink the soup. Would recommend but for take out

Expensive for how little they give you, and they don't give you utensils to eat with, even if you ask. I had to eat my small, five dumplings with my hands. I will not be returning.
