We loved the ambiance of the restaurant and enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles, dumpling soup, and mala pot, which were delicious. However, our experience was soured a bit by the constant upselling by our waitress, which other reviewers have also mentioned. We were there on a slow weeknight, and I understand restaurants run on small margins, but the upselling started to feel too pushy at a point. Maybe this is a top down strategy from management. I still tipped 20% because I always do, but it was hard to relax and enjoy our dinner with the frequent upselling. If that part of the customer experience was improved upon, I would consider returning.

a huge menu with tons of options!! We were most excited about soup dumplings and it was the whole reason we stopped. We ordered the chicken and pork soup dumplings and they were everything I wanted them to be. SUPER flavorful. We also got the Peking duck which was delicious and filling. Tons of food and definitely a treat. Cocktails were cute and classy. Our server was sweet and attentive.

The menu was clearly labeled with vegan and gluten free options. The restaurant was clean, the service prompt and helpful, and the food soooo delicious. The sesame rolls were made with sesame paste in the inside instead of red bean paste so it was extra special. Salt and pepper tofu, crispy eggplant, garlicky baby bok choy, spicy peanuts … it was all great, I would definitely eat here again.

Totally obsessed with this place! Best Szechuan food in the city for affordable prices and no wait or reservations necessary. My favorites are the crispy eggplant, Szechuan Brussels sprouts, rainbow chicken, Szechuan crispy shredded beef, and peking duck. Nice atmosphere and service. Highly highly recommend!

Everything about this restaurant is amazing, from the service to the food. As soon as me and my friends came in, we were made to feel right at home. I opted for their dim sum and it was all delicious. Just the right amount of food if you don't want to eat a huge meal. Highly recommend and would come back again.

We discovered this gem after just trying to find places near the city activity we had planned. Not only was the food phenomenal, but our waitress was very attentive and even treated us to some recommendations related to what we might like. We would definitely come back here again.

Delicious food and kind accommodating staff. I got the salt and pepper scallops and crab meat money bags, which were both really good. Would come back again!

This place is a money trap. My bill was $208, the wiener I supposed, adds a $41 gratuity because we were not paying cash on top of that she forgot to add a coke $4 instead she took the machine and added Ed another gratuity for $30. Really bad business practices. The food wasn’t even that great I had the sweet and sour pork ribs a they were hard couldn’t get the meat off the bone. Nothing impressive, don’t waste your money there is better out there.

This place was so cute. Friendly staff and a ton of unique vegan Asian dishes I got to try for the first time. I got the vegan char siu buns and sesame balls. How epic. The buns were lovely and the soy sauce balanced the flavor perfectly, and the sesame balls have an amazing black sesame (I think) flavor, just the sweet treat I needed!
