The pork belly is amazingly fatty, no ozempic piggies here. The bun perfect puffiness and crispness. Lions head is really good too, might be a bit better if a bit firmer but still insanely good.

This has been on my list of want to go to Houston restaurants for ages, and after finally going today I’m sad I didn’t go earlier. Food was delicious (soup dumplings and tofu skin wrap) and the staff were really nice. A really rude Karen type customer came in while I was eating and I was impressed by how pleasant the staff were to her. I wouldn’t have had the patience for a customer like that (I guess that’s why I don’t own a restaurant), but they were great. Excited to return and try other dishes!
I came here after seeing good things on TikTok. Ive had better dumplings they weren’t that bad. Now the service. It was awful the servers literally rushed us and added a tip without telling us. Then the server tried charging more money on my card but it declined luckily for potential fraud.

Soup Dumplings and Crispy Bottom ones were AMAZING. My friend that is gluten free was so happy to find dishes that were clearly marked GF!

Shadow of what this restaurant once was. Portions were extra small for the price. Food doesn't taste the same same as it used to, everything was overly salty and the style of the Kung pao chicken changed too (we're guessing change of chef).
We order their pan fry buns and it never even arrived. There were 2 other parties who arrive after us and they got their buns/baos before us and we still never received ours.
They might once be famous for their buns but we couldn't give a honest opinion on the buns if it change or not since we never got ours.
Have to ask the waitress twice where is our bao and she just say it is coming, although we order the bao before our food and we finish our dinner and it is still coming. End up canceling the bao and had to ask the waitress twice for to go boxes. It'll be our last time eating here.

Food was excellent and highly recommend the soup dumplings. The waitress was so nice and even talked us through suggestions on the menu of which we got and enjoyed a lot. Pork spare ribs, pork belly, and sweet and sour chicken were all great and again the pork soup dumplings were amazing too!
The food is good and delicious. But interior needs little more cleanness.

I have never written a review before but I just had to for this place. Hands down, the BEST soup dumplings I've ever had. My partner and I always come here for the dumplings and the braised pork belly. Anywhere else we've gone, the dumplings just aren't the same and we end up disappointed. This place is a small hole in the wall but the food, people and atmosphere are amazing. I can't recommend them enough. You won't regret it!
