We saw this place on a few TikTok feeds and decided to try it out. There was a long line to get in. It was a small place, crowded and busy. They only take cash and they conveniently have an atm outside that charges almost 9% of what you withdraw. We ended up at a table where someone was finishing up their dinner and just before leaving we left we were joined by a couple. We kept it simple fried rice, very flavorful, chicken lo mein that my son devoured, scallion pancakes, delicious, vegetable dumplings, yum and crispy duck that I didn't share . The staff were nice. But we felt rushed and didn't really feel settled. We like to sit for a while and enjoy our food. Overall the food was really good. The experience, I'm not sure if I'd go back.

In this restaurant you are right in every way, the cuisine, the atmosphere, for me a must ?
Good food, not the best first experience. I would just take it to go next time. If you sit down, they have a minimum order or will charge per person $8. We were there to try specific popular item recommended and were forced to order more than we came for. I found it kind of ridiculous since people usually go for Chinese food when looking for family style eating aka sharing, it's not where you for one entree per person. Steamed Pork Dumpling, Steamed Shrimp and Crab mix XLB, Red Bed Bean Paste bun, wonton soup. We mainly came to try their famous Steamed Shrimp and Crab mix XLB, that didn't disappoint, really good. The rest of our orders were good too.
We only ordered the wontons here and they were good. A little too much of the peanut sauce in my opinion. I was really able to taste the wontons. They have limited seating if it's busy and in traditional Chinese fashion, will seat you with other parties if there is limited space!

Second time coming here. First time I dined in and this last time I ordered to go. I ordered the scallion pancakes, fried pork dumplings, soup, tea and chicken fried rice. Everything tasted great and the amount you get for the price is wonderful. Hope to come back again.
My food was made so quickly, the staff was very nice, and my noodles were delicious. It was worth the trip for sure.

The food is very well priced, large portion sizes, and very tasty. The service is very efficient, bringing water and chopsticks before I could even ask. A warm, convivial atmosphere. Brilliant place to stop by.
