We visited for a friend’s birthday after hearing mixed things, and there is a lot to love about the atmosphere! The decor is stunning, and the moody lighting creates a great vibe. Our service was also wonderful, the team was attentive and very helpful throughout the night.
On the downside, we found the menu to be quite overpriced for the quality of the dishes. As people who grew up eating this cuisine and where we appreciate the traditional flavors, the $20 dumplings and other prices for the dishes, were a disappointment. It’s a lovely spot for the ‘scene,’ but we likely wouldn’t return for a full dinner at this price point.
We ended up spending nearly $200 per person, which felt steep for the quality provided. That said, the scallion pancakes and the fried chicken were absolute highlights, crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. It’s a beautiful spot for a drink, but the food menu didn’t quite hit the mark for us culturally or financially.

Fun place
Great atmosphere and good service
We liked all the food except the soup dumplings. Only 4! Little to no soup en the wrapper was hard. Would not spend my money on this again.
Als $13 for some (nice flavored) cucumber is a bit much

Had reservations on Saturday night for a small birthday celebration. Check-in was quick, and the place was absolutely packed. The service was quite slow, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a quick meal.
I noticed the table next to us being asked to leave because their time was up and the next reservation had arrived, even though they hadn’t had a chance to order dessert yet, as one of the other patrons mentioned. That was a bit surprising to see.
The food was just okay. The flavors were bold, but I found it odd that they don’t offer plain white rice, even though fried rice is on the menu. The ambience is beautiful, though the space feels a bit tight.
One disappointment was that there was no acknowledgment of the birthday, even though it was noted on the reservation.
Overall, it’s a nice spot for a special occasion. The drinks were great. I’m not in a rush to go back, but I’d return to try more of their cocktails.

I had a small company dinner here.
I found the food to be super tasty. I tried a variety of dishes, but the pumpkin dumplings will live in my mind forever. The cocktails were also lovely. Not too sweet and they had interesting combinations.
I was super impressed with the service. Our server was very charismatic and attentive.
We had people with gluten free restrictions and vegetarian restrictions that had their own server corresponding with them to bring out dishes that matched their restrictions.

I went on a valentines dinner here and I was pleasantly surprised by the food offerings and loved the drinks but was left lacking in the service department. I just feel like there could have been better communication about the timing of things as we ordered dumplings and then had to wait an additional 20-25mins before the rest of the food hit the table. The food tasted exceptional but the soup dumplings stuck to the peels they were served on and the last one lost all of the soup inside. The spicy cucumber app came out quickly and gif was surprising but the spice factor was lacking for me, the overall taste was nice but I didn’t get the spicy flavor I had hoped for. The wait times were kinda long on things as the crab Rangoons were the last item to hit the table. The deserts were phenomenal as the picture quality of the chocolate Buddha was over the top but the taste of the cake out box was breath taking

Made a reservation for two at 6:00pm, checked in pretty quickly. We asked for recommendations for greens and veggies, but the server recommended noodles!!! And chips!?!?! We didn’t know what it was back then, so we ordered the chips by mistake. The food overall was all right but it’s not traditional Chinese. Don’t go if that’s what you’re looking, more like American-style Chinese. Like the atmosphere, cute photos taken. Lastly, red envelopes is meant for giving out money, not receiving money, didn’t like how they put the check in a red envelope. 不推荐给不喜欢这种的中国人，服务员后面态度也不好

Food:
Pumpkin Dumplings 10/10
Crab Rangoons 10/10
Spicy Roulette Pork Dumplings 9/10 (idea of roulette was fun though)
Shrimp & Lobster Shumai 9/10
Scallion Pancakes 5/10 (was not our favorite)
Dessert:
Chocolate Buddha 10/10 (experience and taste)
Cocktails:
White Dragon 10/10
Hong Kong Tea 9/10
Service:
AMAZING! Very knowledgeable, very attentive, and customer service was top notch. We didn’t but around 2/6 of the scallion pancakes and our server took them off the bill (she insisted and we didn’t even complain about them we even said we were willing to pay). The couple next to us sat down thinking the dumpling bar was apart of the bar, but it wasn’t. However the manager came over to let them know but said to stay there he’d see if they could just stay to dine and let them. (We thought this was very thoughtful)
Atmosphere:
The design and structure of this place was so well thought out they didn’t miss a detail down to the soy sauce pot. It was a very upbeat atmosphere and trendy which in this neighborhood is what is expected but it went above and beyond and definitely sticks out!
This ended up 5th on our overall Beli rating list!

I feel this restaurant is a solid 4. Over the top decor in a fun way. If you can get a table in the front by the sidewalk that’s open to the outside that is lovely. Service was excellent to start and then fell off. Waited quite a long time to order a second drink because we could not flag our server down. Food comes out as ordered and is meant to be shared. Everything we ordered we enjoyed and would order again. Scallion pancakes a must. A little chewy and tender at the same time. Soup dumplings a solid choice. They had some fusion options that looked delicious but we wanted to stay traditional for our first time. Pork belly buns were recommended by our server. I don’t care one way or the other about buns but these were very good. House fried rice was very good. Beijing lamb was good but lately no lamb I order out has a true gamey lamb flavor. Mr H martini was delicious. It’s a batched cocktail but has a sweet note which adds a great balance. If you like good Chinese food I think this restaurant is a great way to enjoy the food you love in a fun elevated setting. They end the meal with a complimentary shot, nice thought but not great in my opinion.

I was genuinely excited to come here tonight and specifically chose this restaurant because they advertise non-alcoholic options. I’m newly sober and wanted to enjoy a night out like everyone else, just with an N/A beverage.
I first ordered a non-alcoholic beer — the waiter returned and said they were out. He then suggested two mocktails and even recommended one in particular, but after a few minutes came back again to say they were out of those as well. I ultimately ended up with a Coke, which was fine and in a super cute cup, but not the experience I had hoped for.
I want to be clear that the staff were polite and tried to help. The issue was the lack of availability and communication around the non-alcoholic menu. If a restaurant promotes N/A drinks, it really matters that those options are actually stocked — especially for guests who don’t drink alcohol and are trying to feel included in a social dining experience.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, a bit tight at some of the tables and the food was just ok, a bit pricey for what it was.
I really hope management can better align their menu with what is actually available so guests relying on non-alcoholic choices aren’t left without options.

This was possibly some of the best food I have ever had. I’ve been to china, Taiwan, and Korea but this was amazing ! Service was excellent with attention to details ! Plates/ silverware were replaced. Our server was Juan who made numerous suggestions. The table was wiped clean between courses in a delicate manor. We arrived at 5pm when they opened and soon after it was packed with patrons. We had bang bang noodles, Crab rangoons with a home made duck sauce, dumplings, the most amazing chicken wings, tangerine tuna, and noodles with a duck sausage crumble. We did not have any cocktails but they too were impressive as they were delivered to other tables. When heading to the ferry at the Boston seaport stop here it’s across the street. They offered to hold our luggage at the front entry and were cheerfully greeted by the staff at the entry. I felt very welcomed by everyone we interacted with. There was a 3% tip added for the kitchen staff which I found odd…. but so what , it was $4 and they deserved it too !!
