Amazing experience. Absolutely stunned at their AYCE for $49 (some options add extra). We tried the Block French Toast, Spicy Fried Chicken Bao, Tea Egg Bao, Xiaochi Platter, Braised Beef Noodles, Peking-Ish Duck Dumplings, and Chicken Jirou Barbeque, and ended up at around $120 for 2. There was only one server at the time we got there, who had 5 tables by himself, but around 12:30pm to 1pm there were more people helping so it ended up being lovely. Would love to stick with the baos or barbeque next time! Those were the star of the show, besides the good music 🤭

Get the xiaochi platter, barbecue mushroom mogu, duck dumpling, tea egg bao, and crispy garlic rice. Skip the burger bao. No cash accepted, only cards. Maybe avoid rush times: the kitchen struggled to keep up and the dining room got smokey like Korean BBQ.

The Chef’s Endless Table option is a great value and full of truly scrumptious bites—but come hungry, because it’s a *lot* of food. I especially recommend the Tea Egg Bāo Bun and Mógū Shiitake noodles, and every dish in the Xǐaochī Platter is a winner. Clean and stylish atmosphere, phenomenal food, and great service from Noah. I’m already planning my next visit!

Just an incredible dining experience overall. The atmosphere is calming and the woodwork is welcoming throughout the space. The food is superb, so much value for the caliber of food that you get.

Overall really great food (we only got dumplings) but I echo other reviews that the menu was hard to read. Item names were in English and Pinyin Chinese, which means nothing to people who don’t know Chinese. Chicken basil had a spicy kick and we loved the goji berry tea.
