Been here several times, and often recommend this place to people. Today the service was equal to that of McDonald's sever dropped food off and never returned plates stacked up on table and became difficult to navigate the table . They were busy , but not that busy. Our table felt forgotten. We had to ask the host for our check. We were sitting directly in front of the host stand and still ignored for most of our meal.
Pl ase do better next time.

Came in around 8 pm on a weekday with no wait at all.

Loved the soup dumplings the most. Holy spicy shrimp wontons are definitely spicy but manageable if you like spice. Definitely would recommend and can’t wait to come back!
