Everything was absolutely delicious, fantastic service, good size portions. For 2 people we had: Biang Biang noodles, Crystal dumplings, chili oil wontons, potstickers, Szechuan Spicy chicken, and iced milk tea. We had lots of leftovers to take home for later.
We will definitely be coming back for the delicious food and friendly service! 10/10

This wasn’t just a food of yummy eats but also a great experience from Ms. Helen. We were spoiled with a warm, family-like hospitality. She gave us this savory, cozy egg drop soup on the house and a delicious dessert at the end. 1000/10 recommend

The food is delicious in all ways! It’s authentic but also hip, and the people are so kind. Loved this place, you must go. So good I forgot to take cute pics of the food before eating LOL.

Was in the mood for some xiaolongbao and saw this place was in our neighborhood, so figured we'd stop by to give it a try. Ended up discovering a hidden gem! We were immediately warmly welcomed in by Ms. Helen, the owner. I didn't see soup dumplings on their ordering website, but she let us know they had them available off the menu. We ended up getting our dumplings plus some dan dan noodle, scallion pancake, hot & sour soup, and some BBQ bao - all of it was fresh, hot, and delicious! Needless to say, we are looking forward to many more future visits to this neighborhood spot!

Helen was absolutely wonderful and treated us like family! Steamed dumplings and beef flat noodles with snow mountain chrysanthemum tea is a must. 10/10.

The food is delicious and the service is friendly. However, I've called in to order picking up 30 minutes ahead, but when got to the restaurant, there's no my order to be found in the system that I had to wait another 30min at the restaurant. Understood restaurants are busy, but it would be good to double-check that the orders go through as should be.

Good value and taste. Had the lunch special of eggplant and green beans...it included soup and egg roll! And rice. Loved the boiled fish, too! Will go again. Opened only 6 months ago. Wait staff very friendly.

For dinner on a Friday night, we ordered 5 dishes (best to poor). 1. Mapo Tofu- Delicious soft tender tofu with perfectly seasoned and spicy sauce. Not a lot of meat as is traditional. If you ever ate at Chinese Cafe in Din Ho Mall back in the 90’s. This tasted similar. 2. Fried shrimp with candied walnut was very tasty with lightly battered jumbo shrimps. Eat quickly before the crispy batter gets soft. 3. Soup dumplings held up but the ground red meat was very bland. The chunk of dough at the top was hard and chewy. 4. Crystal dumplings (8 dumplings with crispy skirt) had the same problem as the soup dumplings where the dough that is pressed is hard and chewy. Meat filling was very plain. 5. Wonton noodle soup was a disappointment. The wonton noodle was fine. The meat was under seasoned again but the major problem I had was that the broth tasted of raw chicken. I cook enough chicken soup from scratch to know the difference. I couldn’t get over it. My partner said that he interpreted this flavor as chicken skin.
This is a neighborhood Mom and Pop place where Helen runs around doing everything in front of the house (so the service can be kind of slow) and a helper who buses the table. Lovely bright atmosphere.

Amazing food! Ms. Helen is the nicest host. It feels like you're eating at your cool Auntie's house. Gen. Tsao's chicken was great. My cucumber chili salad was so light and spicy it made me smile. But, the Hot Pot is worth its weight in gold!!! I think it kept me from getting sick.

Came to Houston for our anniversary day trip and were craving some good Sichuan. We found Xiaolong Dumpling in a passive little Google search and we’re so glad we came. The service was impeccable and Ms. Helen was so kind, welcoming, and funny. The food came out fast and hot, with flavor to die for. We will definitely be back?

Food is delicious!! Hot and sour soup is really good. My grandma and I liked it . Only thing is that I asked for sauce for the cheese puffs and they didn't put it in. The puffs are sweet themselves but my grandma likes having sauce.
