Reviews
They started the meal with a complimentary scallion pancake, which was very good. Then our hot & spicy fried rice arrived. It was good, though not very spicy.
We waited around 20 minutes and our pan fried pork buns arrived, all burst, with the soup more in the plate than in the buns. The dough wasn’t quite right, fully gummy and soaked, as if it almost wasn’t the right dish. They had been flipped upside down and were just a pile of mush, covered in a lot of oil, unlike any pan fried pork buns we’ve ever gotten. About 10min later, they tried to drop off another plate of (oily) dumplings at the table, that wasn’t what we ordered. They took it back and double-checked our order on the paper and saw that we had ordered the wonton in chili oil, which came about 10min later.
Overall a very mixed and long (for what it was) meal with some good food, some not-so-good, and lots of weird pacing. A couple of the servers were friendly and did check in on us a few times.
Sidenote – I love chili oil but the one they had there wasn’t my favorite – it’s less spicy, more salted black soybean. No big deal there, just not my cup of tea.
I had the spicy fried rice (pro tip: it comes with chicken, even though it doesn’t say so on the menu). ️ The flavor from the hot chili oil and black salted beans was out of this world. ✨ We also enjoyed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were perfectly done.
What really surprised me was the sautéed cabbage with Thai chili peppers so simple, yet packed with incredible flavor. ️ The beef soup was hearty, and the spicy chicken dish with Sichuan and chili peppers brought the heat in all the right ways. ️
Customer service was great, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. I will definitely be back.
Next dish out was the chicken dumplings. When I saw that they looked exactly how I made mine, I fell in love. I’m a sucker for hand-made dumpling wrappers. Very tasty, to boot!
The beef noodle soup was killer. I added a dash of soy sauce & vinegar to mine, then a half a spoon of chili oil to bring up the heat. (I like spicy food, okay.) The meat was so tender, the noodles were perfectly bouncy, too.
The pan-fried lamb dumplings came out last and they were also an instant favorite. I put a few of them in my soup and WOW! That was an amazing meal.
The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Not too noisy, either. I definitely want to go back and try more dishes.
We also ordered the beef chow fun, a flat noodle dish with tender beef, crisp veggies, and perfectly chewy noodles coated in a savory, smoky sauce. Everything came out fast, and the service was efficient and friendly. With great food at a reasonable price, this place never disappoints. Definitely a must-visit for dumpling lovers!
After about 10 minutes of waiting, I finally got her attention and she took my order. However, shortly after, a couple came in, and she assisted them right away, taking their order and delivering their food before I had received mine. When I inquired about my order, she assured me that it was ready, yet I continued to wait for quite a while.
Frustrated by the long wait, I asked for my meal to be packed in a to-go container. I left with my food in hand, but the service left much to be desired.
While the dumplings may be delicious, the service could use significant improvement. I hope they can address these issues to enhance the overall dining experience for their customers.
