Reviews
What a great find! They make a lot (but not all) of their stuff in-house so it’s very fresh.
I personally think that fresh pasta is one of those things that is like the scene with the red or blue pill choice from the Matrix. One shows him the truth and the other returns him to blissful ignorance. Yep, fresh pasta is a similar experience.
We ordered potstickers, beef chow fun and wonton soup. There’s not one of those dishes that was less than spectacular although the beef chow fun stood out for two reasons:
1. incredibly salty
2. insanely tender beef
You should be good to order the beef chow fun as long as a bit of extra sodium won’t send you to the hospital. If it will, get something else. If it won’t, you’re in for a treat. The noodles in this dish are not made in-house but they are prepared expertly. The dish could have used a few less onions but I probably should have thought to ask for just a little onion. The real standout is the beef. I’m not sure what they did as far as a marinade but the pieces of meat were fork-tender and incredibly flavorful.
I would call the potstickers a “must order” if you visit. They offer several different permutations but we went pretty traditional and ordered the pork. They arrived with the entrees but it worked out since everything was served piping hot and we let various dishes cool a little before eating. The potstickers didn’t hold heat like the chow fun so they were consumed first. Tender yet firm dough, very flavorful seasoning and a pretty typical dipping sauce to round out the plate.
I tried the wife’s wonton soup as well. The wontons were expertly made and none of them came apart in the broth. They were on par with the potstickers too. The noodles were freshly made and (even though they are a bit dense) presented as tender and perfectly cooked. The broth itself was rich and full of flavor. Very good dish!
The location is fantastic and the decor good. We only did takeout so not sure how the waitstaff is.
Unfortunately we’ll have to go a bit further for authentic Chinese food, as this seemed to offer it, and then disappoint.
Stills one of my favorite places, but they need to make sure to invest in employees who actually care about customers. Our experiences have been sub par, and I never write negative reviews. I suggest new employees.
I will update the review if service improves on our next visit.
Things I am looking for:
1. Acknowledging a customer after they’ve been seated for 15 minutes and have been trying to waive you down
2. Basic Customer service at a sit down restaurant in which you expect tip
Cons:
– From jump, the staff did not acknowledge our presence when we first stood/waited by the front desk (and there were about 5 staff members right there).
– For a place named Katy’s Dumplings… we were disappointed as the dumplings were underseasoned, the dipping sauce was salty and tasted of pure soy sauce.
– The Thai Iced Tea was alright (not quite sweet enough for me).
Pros:
– Food came to the table quickly!
– The entrees (General Tsos & Sesame Beef) were okay.
– The white rice was cooked perfectly!
Food is a little disappointing, about average.
Only the juicy small steamed buns, and the eggplants that I enjoyed.
Price is reasonable.
