I’m not sure if I’m becoming a spoiled New Yorker but this place was pretty unimpressive. The soup dumplings were sub par and the edamame was so bad, I think they should have just left it off the menu.

Do not sleep on this gem!!!! I wanted to try a local spot while on vacation in NY, and I am so glad I stumbled across this location. The service and staff are amazing, the food is delicious. I loved the small details like the design on the napkin, and I didn't have to wait to be seated. I wish I could have brought the jasmine tea back to my hotel. I will be coming back to this location on my next visit to NY!

We got them crab pork dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and Mongolian beef. We also got the chrysanthemum tea. Everything was delicious and the staff was attentive and kind. My new favorite place in the neighborhood!

Took a takeout. The food is okay. Spicy wontons were okay. The kungpao was lackluster, chicken chewy. Prices should definitely be lower for this quality.

Dropped in randomly on a rainy and cold day seeking a hot bowl of broth and some soup dumplings. The former, the Shanghai style wonton soup was delicious, perfectly balanced seasoned broth and delicious wontons with veggies and briney seaweed. The soup dumplings were disappointing, I’ve had some great soup dumplings around the city, but these lacked love as they were virtually flavorless. They also forgot to bring me hot chili oil and dumpling sauce so that was a red flag early on. Luckily the soup and fluffy pork buns I got too were delicious. Just avoid the soup dumplings!

First time trying soup dumplings! Very flavorful and fresh, cute presentation in the little dumpling basket. We tried the lo mein, fried rice, Scallion pancakes, and garlic green beans. Would really recommend the wonton soup and the garlic green beans were delicious! Also the Leche martini was fun with 2 Leche fruits in it. Great place to come with a big group of friends or family!

Good food in a great location. But the staff was quite rude, constantly asking my table whether we were "Really" waiting for someone else (my friend was bit late). The older lady kept hovering over our table, muttering something underneath her breath and asking us whether we were done (it wasn't anywhere near closing time and there were lots of empty booths).
It made my entire group quite uncomfortable and we felt like we were being rushed to leave.

Wide range of dim sum to order off the menu, very friendly staff, dishes came out quickly and everything we ordered was delicious, especially their soup dumplings! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great place, very authentic! Pork dumplings were a crowd pleaser but the ones in the spicy sauce were my fave! If you like spicy I wasn't overly spicy (I can handle strong spicy) but the flavor of the sauce was super bold!!! As a foodie I highly recommend!

Food was reasonable (not special)& the service quick.
I like empty dishes being cleared quickly. However, here, the waiter transferred dimsums from serving dishes to one another so that he could clear some. We ended up with serving dishes with a clumsy assortments of dimsum, to put it mildly
