I wondered why I keep coming back here when the food itself isn’t particularly noteworthy—and I realized it’s the seating and airy lighting. Most fast-food spots in this part of Midtown don’t have great seating, but this place does. The booths offer privacy, and the open tables work well for groups. The lighting feels open and breathable, making it a comfortable spot to sit and take a break.

Their congee is decent, and the hot tea is a nice touch. Service is better than typical fast food—the servers are friendly and patient. Cleanliness is hit or miss; but when it is clean its super clean. If you let them know, they’ll clean it up. I think it’s because the kitchen and checkout are far from the seating area, so they don’t always notice—but that’s something they could easily improve.

If you need a quick, light meal in Midtown with a relaxed atmosphere, this is a solid choice.

Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good

I can not emphasize just how good this place is. My wife and I make an excuse to go here biweekly and it always hits the spot.

It’s also pretty affordable considering there’s really not a whole lot of places in midtown where you can get a meal for two for 30 bucks. Please never close.

This place tasted so gross and disgusting. They need to do better. I think they just boil everything in dirty water and put it on a plate. The spring roll wasn't even good it was so oily I think they used dirty oil. We had to go to Jollibee across to street cause we could not eat our food. Just look at the pictures.

DONT BE FOOLED BY THE GOOD REVIEWS! The shrimp rice rolls were extremely oily as in the oil was separating when you added the sauce on top. The har gow broke apart way too easily and had shrimp shells. The soup dumplings stuck to the foil and tasted like premade frozen dumplings. The egg fried noodles were DISGUSTING, it had no flavor and they tasted as if they were cooked in dirty sink water. We couldn’t even finish or even continue to eat it. This place was overwhelming underwhelming especially with their food. I would not come back nor recommend it. I don’t know how it was 4.7 stars because the food was horrendous.

I honestly cannot even understand why this place has such good reviews. Higher rated than my usual Dim Sum Palace and this place was not even close. The food was not good. They don’t have sauce for dumplings- so they were very bland. This is truly a fast food place that I don’t understand with all the fabulous dumpling places how this is even staying in business.
