Had such a lovely dinner there! I’ve been peeking in for months excited for this place to open up and it exceeded my expectations. They’re doing different dishes than many Chinese restaurants in the area, beyond the “typical” dishes. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Got vegetable steamed buns (fantastic, way better than dumpling house which has bad vegetarian buns), noodles with green beans, and suimi yacai rice. All was vegetarian and fantastic. Only remembered to get a picture of the noodles— guess I’ll need to go back soon!

Good food! The staff were very nice and friendly and asked for our feedback on the food as they’re a new restaurant.
The food was solid. It tasted like homecooked food that tasted authentic, without too much oil or salt to mask the ingredients. You could tell the ingredients were high quality, and less oil/salt lets their natural taste shine through. You don’t feel too heavy after eating as you might feel in some restaurants. We tried the spicy fried fish, mapo tofu, and beef with mushrooms, all of which were good. We had a few buns and “pies,” which tasted authentic.
Some of the prices (like for the beef) were a little high, but you could tell they were using good ingredients, which explains the higher price. If the prices were slightly lower then I could see myself going back all the time.
The buns are very reasonably priced so I could imagine going there for a quick lunch often.

Was so excited this place finally opened! Everything was so delicious and comforting and the staff was wonderful.
We ordered mapo tofu (one of my faves I’ve had in the area…), house pork ribs (fall off the bone and so well flavored) and beijing Xianghe fried pie (somehow juicy and crispy at the same time. delicious). We also got some hot tea and it was one of the most comforting meals I’ve ever had on a cold winter day. Some places take awhile to find their footing during soft openings but this place has nailed it. I can’t wait to come back.

The food is genuinely delicious. You can taste that they use fresh ingredients and make everything on the spot—no shortcuts, no overpowering oil or salt to mask the flavor.
I also heard the chef was trained at the famous Chinese bum brand 狗不理 (Goubuli), and then spent a long time adapting the recipe to U.S. flour and local ingredients. That extra effort really shows in the balance and texture. Definitely a place worth checking out.

We were so excited to try it and thr food was fantastic! The mapo tofu was perfectly spicy and hearty, but we especially loved the zucchini dumplings and leek steamed buns, which we are already planning to come back for.
