Food is very good. Some of the best dumplings I have ever had. A must go for Chinese food.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon, so it was expected to be crowded, but we were able to get a seat. We ordered the Szechuan Wonton with Chilli Oil, Mapo Tofu with Ground Pork, Eggplant with Ground Pork, and Steamed Rice. Actually we were disappointed that our favorite Chinese restaurant was closed, but all the dishes here were delicious enough to rival it. The Mapo Tofu was the best I've ever had. I would love to try other dishes here as well.?04/14/2024We came here to try the other dishes because we enjoyed all of them last time. We had the Dumplings, House Special Garlic Pork Spare Ribs and Leek & Pork Dumplings this time. I personally didn't like the Dan Dan Noodles because the peanuts were too overpowering (so, actually Frank's is still my personal #1 choice yet). The spare ribs were salty and brought out the flavor of the ingredients, which my husband liked a lot, but I prefer them braised in soy sauce and tenderized, so the strong smell of pork was not good for me. The dumplings were delicious.?✨

Incredibly delicious food, my husband and I come here every opportunity we can. I highly commend the beef hot and spicy dried pot, Szechuan pork wontons with chili oil, and the green beans!!

We ordered dim sum, fried rice, and a couple other dishes. Unfortunately the dim sum came out last, but everything was delicious and we have plenty of leftovers

Too many issues to list here, but I'll do my best. My wife's margarita had a dead insect at the bottom of the drink. After describing my wife's onion allergy in detail to the server, he served her dish with green onions visibly scattered on the top. We were there for our daughter's birthday and were told they didn't have a celebratory dessert for her because the ice cream in their freezer was "old." I was excited about their dumplings (apparently their specialty), but they were dry (i.e. no soup inside). Nothing was done to make anything right, such as a "mea culpa" credit, complementary appetizer or drink, etc., and I over-tipped the server and still regret it. Never going back.

Food was fantastic! A little disappointed that they didn't have combos and had to by everything separate, I don't need a full plate of fried rice to myself.

I highly recommend the Xiao Long Bao; the rich soup and generous filling make it almost perfect. The dry-fried green beans have a rich flavor, and the hot and sour soup is delicious too. Their egg drop soup is a favorite among kids. We also ordered the assorted fried noodles, which had plenty of ingredients and a large portion size. However, some of the pan-fried dumplings(紅油抄手) were overcooked and the skin was too soft. The dry pot series is also highly recommended; we tried the dry pot intestine. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the food here. However, the service is just okay and could be better."

So my other half and I have been twice, I'm glad I waited to review it. The atmosphere is great, hip with a decent amount of seating even if it doesn't look like it at first. They were quick to seat us both times and both times the place was packed (both were weekend nights). The food the first time was awesome, and the portions are incredible, the second time it was good, but not as good as we remembered. The service was just ok both times, the first time the server spoke so quietly and with such an accent we could barely hear or understand her. The second time the communication was fine and the server was very nice but they don't really check in after service of the food. We had to go get forks, take out containers and waited for the check for quite some time. Overall I would say go, the food is good, absolutely and the atmosphere is worth the trip just don't expect super stellar tableside service. We will definitely be back as we have already put it in our date night rotation, we think what it might lack in one area it makes up for in others.

Great service, our waitress was super nice and helpful, she told us which dish is good!The food portion is huge! We ordered 5 dishes for 4 people, after everyone was full, we still took half food home! Mapo tofu was delicious! Shredded potatoes were great, perfectly cooked with great sour spicy flavor.Cumin lamb was tasty with big pieces of lamb.Reasonable price for the food you get, especially its location.
