The lady is sweet. Nice food. Amazing
The food is delicious! The environment is clean! The price is reasonable! There are many varieties of food! The service is friendly! The boss and the boss lady are very kind, warm and friendly!food High quality! It is the best Chinese restaurant! Highly recommended!
Best dimsum in the area!!! Pan fried baos and shrimp with beancurd was our favorite! Also, bathroom was pristine! Highly recommend!
This place is small and cozy. The dim sum is soooooo good and at any time.
The best fried rice I've ever had.
I forgot to take pictures of the food. Because I was too focused on eating
I love this place so much. Affordable food and cozy atmosphere. Everything is cooked fresh so you’ll have to wait for a bit. I got the beef hot pot and my boyfriend got the honey garlic chicken. The dim sum was great too.
Good food 😋
Found them open on New Year’s Day. Loved the dim sum menu - tons of options and the 5-6 we got were tasty. But we also got a few chicken entrees and were disappointed that there wasn’t much chicken (about 1:1 ratio with vegetables). That said, flavors were good and food was fresh.
Good food! Very clean restaurant. Food tastes fresh as well!
Went there with tonight with my husband and son. Literally a one woman show there! We ordered beef hot pot (very good), braised beef with daikon (very good) and cashew chicken (ok, needed more flavor). We also tried the dim sum (take out) and it was pretty good too. Would definitely come back!
We have driven by here often but didn't know it was a Chinese restaurant until we were online considering new Auburn restaurants. In the autumn darkness it's hard to tell it's not just a bubble tea place like a few other reviewers stated. We regret not coming sooner.
From the first bite the food stood out as lovingly prepared, with harmonious flavors and delicate textures. Not your average strip mall family Chinese place, this would be a good place to impress a date or a business client. We got takeout but the restaurant is remarkably clean, beautifully appointed and cozy if not small.
Some reviewers commented on the limited and unfriendly staff - I didn't get an unwelcome vibe from either the proprietor or her son, but she also didn't give off the strong hospitality vibe some Americans might expect. Small smile, few words. I don't think she means to be unfriendly.
Overall I was very impressed with the food and the venue and was quite disappointed to see it completely empty at 6:30 on a Friday night. Please come try some dim sum or rice dishes, you will not be disappointed!

I was looking forward to trying this place, but my experience was very uneven. I had the dim sum fried bean curd roll with shrimp and it was delicious. Big, juice shrimp wrapped in a crispy roll. Excellent start to my meal. Unfortunately, the beef chow mein that I ordered was awful. I think they used yakisoba noodles with the yakisoba seasoning packet from the store. They definitely used the frozen shaved beef from an Asian grocery store, which is meant for hot pot or pho. It is terrible when you try to fry it. Overall, the dish had a weird sweet yakisoba flavor. I can appreciate someone trying to adjust flavors for American customers, but this seemed like they were just trying to cut corners. It was not beef chow mein. Too bad I had high hopes for this place, but I felt cheated paying 15.95 for a mushy noodle dish.

It was ok. For small brunch plates they are very pricey about 7.50-9 a mini plate which is about 4 little portions
Soup dumplings were okay. We had the onion pancake & it was not that flavorful.
We got the shrimp chop suey. It was ok, the flavor tasted like it had curry in it, I thought it was just me at first but everyone at the table said it was pretty strong tasting of curry. It was basically noodles onions & some peppers no them veggies in it.
We order orange chicken which was excellent, probably the best I’ve ever had.
We also ordered chicken teriyaki which was not good at all. The chicken was hard & rubbery & was just all around not good. It also came chopped up then covered in sauce. The chicken almost seemed to have been boiled first, I’m not sure but it wasn’t seared like a lot of traditional teriyaki’s are.
The atmosphere was small but I think it made it awkward that it was just pure silence. We could hear the other ppl around us basically chewing. I think some nice instrumental music would be nice. We also had only had the menu in hand about 2 minutes but they kept coming over to ask if we were ready over & over only with a minute or two in between. Our table felt rushed to ordered. The owner & I believe it’s her son, they just seemed annoyed we were there from the moment we arrived, even asking for chop sticks when they handed us forks seemed to make the lady annoyed.
I wouldn’t go here again personally. I like to come to places were your greeted like they actually want you there & the entire time we were there we were honestly ready to go. Unfortunately. We were really excited to eat here but after our experience we won’t be back sadly.

Amazing gem of a restaurant. The quality of the dim sum and dishes made me think I went to Chinatown in Canada. Also the service is similar to Macau and Hong Kong, so please be patient after you order, the food is worth the wait.

We live the steamed rice with chicken feet and pork. The sauce for the dish is really good. Ordered pork /cabbage wonton soup which is a tad too salty for us. Steamed bean curd with pork is very good too.
