Can’t say enough about the quiet, easy, lunch experience for a 83 birthday for a Japanese man who has international experience in Asian cuisine. Free appetizer comes with birthday lunch. He chose barbecued Short ribs with honey sauce and I had one of their 4 buns with a creamy custard center and flaky skin over soft bun. The Peking Duck was the reason we came and it was perfect. Tender duck carved and laid over lettuce with each slice offering the crispy crust so hard to get right while keeping the meat perfect. The platter was decorated with 8 double buns and accompanied by a gallon of savory duck soup with the bones, cabbage, greens, onions and seasoning perfect. I had beef with onions, rice, and shared the soup. The music and service were ideal. It took almost as long to choose from the extensive menu as it did to enjoy the meal.

My wife and I love the food here, drove two hours away so she could have dim sum on her birthday. She is from Beijing so finding good dim sum can be a challenge in the Midwest. We had chicken feet, dumplings, shrimp crepe, spare ribs, shu mai, and chicken wings along with Mongolian beef, vegetable chow fun, and eggplant(wanted leftovers) All of it was high quality and tasty. I'd say the eggplant and beef were my favorites but the wings were great too. Staff was friendly and played was quiet with nice environment with plenty of parking.

Nani has been our go-to place to gather with family and friends for over a decade. However, our recent visit left me very uncomfortable. As my family was leaving the restaurant, the waitress actually shushed them for chatting while walking out. If you felt they were being too loud and disturbing other guests, you could have simply told them politely. “Shh-ing” customers is both unprofessional and disrespectful. It left us feeling very unwelcome, which is not the experience we’ve come to expect from a place we’ve supported for so long.

Great place to have dimsum. The waitress was really friendly. She even showed us her pictures of Devils Lake when we told her we were planning to go visit.

We ordered crepes for takeouts. They both taste and smell like table cloths. Not sure if it was the to go boxes or the food. But they were terrible.

I thought I would eat well, but the service was poor and the food was very greasy.

Actually the worst dim sum I’ve ever had in my life. Every single dish was extremely salty and borderline inedible. A couple dishes also looked so far from the pictures that we had to ask the waiter if it we got the right thing. The mango crepe almost made every single person at the table throw up. The egg tarts were soggy and watery. Not to mention how overpriced it all was. It does not feel good paying for terrible food and having the whole group leave still hungry. We thought it was empty because we went at 3pm but maybe it’s because the food sucks…

I had an excellent lunch here. I took the servers recommendations and had BBQ Pork Crepe, Baked Creamy Egg Yolk Bun (which was excellent), Short Rib with Honey Sauce (also excellent), Chicken Feet with Special Sauce (first time trying, but was good), and Siu Mai. The chili crisp also helped add flavor to the milder tasting dishes.
