so I'll acknowledge that it was completely dead at 5:30 on a monday. but the first red flag was putting in my order on the tablet and the two staff who were there were having a side conversation and didn't even realize I was there for probably 5 minutes. then they realized I was just sitting there and rushed to cook my food.
soup dumplings were okay. pan fried dumplings were extremely mediocre and tasted foul. first time in a long time I actually spit food out. for two orders of dumplings, a water bottle, and tax/tip, it came out to almost 35 bucks.
will be avoiding.

Food is subpar. They served us pan fried dumplings that were noticeably old and chewy. You can tell they weren't freshly pan fried. Likely fried hours before and reheated.
The lu rou fan was pretty much the worse I've had.
The atmosphere feels like an abandoned building that hasn't never completely finished. I first came about 3 years ago, and today it stands just as empty, cold, dank, and unfinished as 3 years ago.
The smell of cleaning detergent was so strong, it totally ruined the taste of food.
Both the building and eatery is highly mismanaged. It's obvious, neither cares about the customer experience at all.

Food is just fine. Not a lot of cooking going on at this place, just warming up dinner kits from Mila, which you can also buy. Dan dan noodles were $12 for like seven bites, almost no szechuan peppercorn.

The food is okaish. It was some frozen dumpling’s that they steamed and served. I’d go to supreme dumplings instead

Their xiaolongbao is just store bought machine made frozen ones that they steam for you….

Got 5 xiaolong bao for 15 dollars! Very expensive but bao tastes good! Recommend to try it but I won’t repeat it!
Attention: how to bite bao without spraying people around you? Poke a hole on the top and let the hot air go out!

Hands down the best fried pancake (Xiang Jie Bao) I’ve ever had—it honestly felt like I was back in Shanghai! The pancake is super authentic, and the rice with pork is pretty good too. Definitely eat it hot for the best flavor!

As good, if not better, than Yang’s in Shanghai. Order the Sheng Jian Bao 5 pack— makes for a SOLID lunch. Absolutely delicious. Eat with enormous caution and use a spoon 😜 hot juices and scrumptious pork 🔥 Bravo

Does anyone else feel the need for a tutorial to be included with soup dumplings? How can you bite into one of these without spraying anyone around you? Irregardless, swung by this place on a Saturday afternoon n it was EMPTY. Lots of seating, parking garage made everything simpatico! Quick order and we were ready to get our dim sum fix: DanDan noodles for that tongue tingling sensation Shrimp n pork soup dumplings because - soup dumplings! Fried pork bao (which incidentally was the star ⭐️⭐️⭐️of the show!) Cucumber garlic side for freshness It’s fast and convenient and filling. If you want frufru then join the queue at DinTaiFung (who DOESN’t ❤️them?!) otherwise cross over to XIAO CHI JIE for simple and easy. I was surprised how quickly the bill added up but I was equally grateful for how filling it was. Doesn’t disappoint for a quickie!

The service was so slow. There was no one else in line and the place was empty. I waited for my food for 30mins. The workers were just on their phones. It should not that that long for the food
