had it for the first time tonight and everything was so good. I got the Hawaiian fried rice which was delicious and the vegetable bao buns were soft and flavorful. You get a lot of food for the price so for me and my family it was worth it. Will definitely return to try more things
If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers not just incredible food but also top-tier service, this is the place! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. One of the best parts? They gave my kids dough to play with while we waited for our meal—such a thoughtful touch that kept them entertained! And speaking of the food, the portions were beyond generous, even for the kids' meals. Coming from Hawaii, where we’re spoiled with authentic Asian flavors, I can confidently say this restaurant brought me right back home with its bold, delicious flavors. Every bite was packed with quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. A special shoutout to Isaiah, our server, who provided flawless service. He never missed a beat, always anticipating what we needed before we even had to ask. It’s rare to find that level of attentiveness and professionalism these days. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving flavorful, authentic food with outstanding service. Can’t wait to come back because we will definitely be back! Ordered: garlic oil Ramen with pork belly, tonkatsu Ramen combo, pan fried color combo dumplings, steamed pork bao, curry tonkatsu with rice, noodles and lemon chicken (kids), chocolate bao (dessert).
Our first time here. Fisher, provided the absolute best service! Very knowledgeable about the food options and offered suggestions on what to try.

If you're looking for quintessential comfort food, you have to come here. I've been here three times so far and each time has been nothing short of great! I initially visited because I heard they made soup dumplings (xiao long bao), which is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I then discovered a whole menu of delicious comfort foods like braised beef noodle soup, which includes HAND-PULLED noodles!! Drooling. Every bite is savory, deep, and satisfying. I have also had their pan-fried dumplings - chicken, beef, pork, and veggie - and they were all perfection. The dough is chewy and flavorful and the fillings are so well-balanced. They also have orange chicken, fried rice, etc., and that is all tasty, too.
I highly recommend coming here, especially on these cold winter days!

ENVIRONMENT:
There was a wait upon entering.
We entered the waitlist by scanning the QR code at the host table. From there, with 3 people, we were seated within 10-15 minutes.
Once called, the hostess asked if we’ve been here before, we said no, to which she gave us a mini tour of their boba drink options, their housemade noodle station and their housemade dumpling station.
SERVICE:
Our server was great. He was so patient with us and as attentive as he could be considering the crowd. There was a couple of times where he didn’t ring in our add-on orders but he was apologetic and polite about it.
The dumplings can take 15 minutes to cook so it’s best to order ASAP.
FOOD:
We ordered the soup dumplings, the pork belly soup, pan fried dumplings, walnut shrimp, beef fried rice and a thai tea with boba.
Soup dumplings:
It was mediocre to us at best, but also keep in mind that we have a lot to compare to; from eating dumplings out of state and in Houston, the soup dumplings do not compare. The outside of the dumplings had an unusual sticky texture and the soup inside was not good.
Pork belly soup:
It was decent. It could use more richness. The noodles were the star of the dish. It does come with A LOT of cilantro and can change the taste of broth. If you don’t like a strong taste of cilantro, I’d recommend to order it without.
Pan fried dumplings:
They were one of the top two to us. I like the crispy bits on top of the dumplings. They had a bit of a more oily outside than I’m used to, but good taste.
Walnut shrimp:
The other one of the two we enjoyed but it was okay. The outside crisp of the shrimp was not that crispy and it lacked some flavor.
Beef fried rice:
It was okay. It didn’t amaze us at all.
Thai tea:
As beautiful as their display for their boba drinks are, the thai tea was mediocre. In my opinion, your better off going to an actual boba place after instead of spending $6 here for their mediocre boba and thai tea.
OVERALL:
The service was honestly the best part. We loved our server. Like I said, as people who have higher standards when it comes to dumplings/asian food quality, we would not come back.

Freshly handmade dumplings and freshly hand pulled noodles! Definitely worth the wait. I would also recommend their honey walnut shrimp as well as salt and pepper shrimp!
Jessie had awesome service. The ramen was amazing as well.
Jesse provided good service and food was good
Everything we tried was absolutely mouthgasmic! We ordered Pan fried pork dumplings, bbq bao buns, cheese fried bao buns, kids sweet and sour chicken with steamed rice, ramen and beef fried noodles. Everything is hand made to order and perfectly seasoned and sauced. In our party of four with two adults, a 10 year old and a 7 year old-everyone was enjoying and sharing every single dish put on our table. We additionally enjoyed going to the kitchen window to watch the staff hand stretch the noodles and prepare the dumplings and bao buns from scratch. We will absolutely be back and it’s definitely worth the 40 minute drive from our house. We also agreed that it’s very reasonably priced for high quality, hand made glorious food.

Frustrating experience overall. Ordered orange chicken and fried noodles for carry out. Got home to find chicken with no sauce whatsoever on it. Called and asked for a refund (as I was not going to drive back), and was only offered store credit. It earned back 1 star because the noodles are pretty good.
Check your food before you drive home☹️
