Customer Reviews
Soup dumplings has soup but not very flavorful. Shrimp with walnut taste good but so small and pricey over $20 for small plates. The meal was over $120. Over priced.
The xiao long bao here are absolutely delicious and feel like an affordable alternative to Din Tai Fung. The dumplings are juicy, flavorful, and have the perfect balance of thin but sturdy skin. You can tell the chef has serious skills—I've had soup dumplings elsewhere where the skin was too thin and broke before I could even pick them up, losing all the precious soup. I've also had dumplings with thicker skin that held together but ruined the texture. However, their xiao long bao achieves the perfect balance: thin, yet durable enough to hold the soup without breaking. I also have to rave about their beef steamed dumplings! I’ve never had steamed dumplings with soup inside before, and they were such a delightful surprise. On top of that, their shrimp fried rice is outstanding—it's just as
Kind of a hole-in-the-wall spot. Everything had a great taste but wasn't super flavorful, if that makes sense. Adding the chili oil to the xiao long bao (soup dumplings) made all the difference to me. It's on the pricier side but I would say it's worth it for the most part. The fried rice is great for kids. Wontons and xiao long bao are the things I recommend most. Others in my party said the green beans with garlic were cooked perfectly.
I can see a new phenomenon warming. The dumplings are absolutely delicious. The chicken and pork and the spicy chicken and pork dumplings are absolutely filling and wonderful. I enjoyed the spring rolls too and dipped it with the sauce. I’m almost glad that I didn’t stay longer. I would’ve eaten everything. I found the price is very reasonable in the menu has a lot of different options so they offer a lot more than just dumplings. Well worth the stop.
So, i wanted to try a new place with my husband and my best friend for her bday. This place popped up and thought why not!? It was amazing. We got the shrimp and pork spicy dumpling (10/10), pork soup dumpling (10/10), shrimp and sticky rice dumpling (10/10), shrimp fried rice (10/10), sesame noodle (10/10), garlic green beans (8/10) and pork ribs (6/10). It's a small place. We got there around noon and were seated right away. Got our drink order in (keep in mind they are cans only for sodas). Our food came out promptly. Everything was hot and sooo good! We will be visiting again and next time not forgetting to order the chocolate dumplings! Soooo good!
