Reviews
This location is within the mall on the upper level.
The restaurant is very popular and gets quite busy. Highly recommend making reservations. I have been to locations in Singapore, Taiwan, San Diego, and LA.
This location seemed louder than most places. Service was good. Food was amazing as always.
For vegetarians, there are veg dumplings. Cucumber salad has a fresh clean flavor. Mushrooms are pretty good as well. Highly recommend the noodles with spicy sauce.
Reservations recommended.
I have been to several locations in several countries. This is up there with the best of them.
I had pork soup dumplings, pork buns, red bean paste buns and honey milk tea.
Vegan Dumplings
Vegan Spicy Wanton
Vegan Wanton soup
Vegan Noodles with Spicy sauce
Vegetable Fried noodles
A variety of fried rice and noodles options are available.
Chocolate Buns , must for chocolate lovers
Better have online reservation if guests are 6 or less.
The Xiao Long Bao (XLB) aka “soup dumplings”, wontons, and fried pork chop were great. The string beans were the best dish we had- fresh and flavorful.
The rice cake dish was had was quite salty.
Do they have the best XLB in the world? Probably not. Great, but if we were not also shopping in the mall, I would not have found it worth waiting in the mall. There are plenty of solid Chinese restaurants in the South Bay so go elsewhere if you don’t want to wait.
Service was great. Decor was as nice, but it was pretty loud and got a tad hard to hear each other at the table above the noise.
Would go back again if someone in my party wanted to. But otherwise probably would prefer a shorter wait.
I didn’t like the wait and the chaotic vibe of trying to be seated.once seated, we were inches from the people beside us.
From the buns, to the side dishes and dumplings. Each dish was packed with flavor.
Would I go back and pay those prices? Probably not since Chinatown has cheaper and more variety of selection. Worth a try though. I don’t regret going.
The food was a triumph of mediocrity. Each dish arrived with the enthusiasm of a tired sigh: cold, flavorless, and carrying the unmistakable charm of something that once lived in a freezer and desperately wishes it still did. Truly, a masterclass in how not to season, cook, or serve anything.
The service elevated the experience to new heights—if those heights are the bottom of a canyon. Staff members demonstrated impressive multitasking skills by simultaneously ignoring guests and scrolling on their phones. Their commentary, delivered with the subtlety of a foghorn, added a unique “interactive theater” element to the meal. Unfortunately, the script consisted mostly of rudeness and disrespect.
Management appears to be on a permanent lunch break, which would explain the glacial wait times and the general sense of chaos. If there was a plan, it must have been left in the freezer with the food.
In conclusion, this establishment offers an unforgettable experience—mainly because you’ll spend the rest of the week wondering how it managed to go so spectacularly wrong. I will not be returning, though I sincerely hope the food eventually warms up for someone.
