The handmade dumplings were sooo good🤩super juicy and flavorful. You can really taste how fresh they are. The staff were also really friendly which made the experience even better. I heard they just recently opened, and honestly this place deserves to blow up soon. Love the place so much♥️

RUN, don’t walk!!! This place is a hidden gem and I can’t wait for their grand opening. The concept is fine dining Chinese fusion, and the menu is very fun and unique. I went with my husband and we were blown away by everything we ordered. My personal favorite was the ceviche (it’s got a nice spice level with Thai chilies). The owner and staff were so friendly and pleasant to interact with. The menu has a little for everyone: vegetarian, non spicy, spicy, etc. Everything was shareable and I would highly recommend for date night or dinner with friends. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality of dishes you get. The soup dumplings are made fresh IN-HOUSE (you can see the chef make them to order at the counter). Definitely will be a regular here and will be coming back soon! P.S - be

Ordered the pork dumplings and sesame chicken. Both were easily best in class. Fantastic customer service and ambiance as well. Check it out next time you’re in the mood for quality Chinese!

★★★★★ 5.0 Travis W. · Jan 2026

A new great addition to South End in the old Nan Xiang spot! We had the Crab Roe soup dumplings, the Kohlrabi salad, the Spicy Szechuan Chicken, and the Cumin Lamb. All were delicious! Service was quick, attentive, and friendly as well. We will definitely be back!
