WOW! I've heard good things but I was blown away. I love when places have a small menu but that often means I'll be limited in what I can order as a vegetarian. That was not the case here- it was hard to pick what to get because I wanted it all! I settled on the mushroom & chive baozi. It was amazing. Fluffy, chewy, soft, hot, steamy, and filled with a delicious filling. I already cant wait to go back!
I've eaten here twice so far - both times, I and a friend thought the bao was very underwhelming. The shanghai pork and shrimp noodles are another story - and honestly they tasted even better reheated for lunch the next day. Want to take it up a notch? Buy a jar of their chili oil and slather it on your noodles.

Packed full of flavor. What a perfect pick me up snack to keep us going for our busy day visiting Portland. We ordered the shrimp wontons and eggplant and tofu. I'm usually not a huge fan of eggplant but the sauce is to die for. The shrimp wontons are really tasty and flavorful. I'm allergic to nuts and asked if their hot chili sauce contained peanut oil. I was assured from their friendly staff that none of their items contain peanuts. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend.
