The place looks a little sketchy on the outside but is cute and intimate. We were greeted by several staff members right away.
Everything on the menu sounded amazing so we tried quite a bit. Everything was outstanding. Truly amazing food. Such creative twists on a variety of dishes. The loaded kimchi fries were delicious. The masala dumplings were so warm and cozy. The Pho’rench dip and brisket curry were fantastic. Im seriously upset we live 2 hours away.

Highly recommend! This time around we went with cucumbers, pork dumplings in chili oil, wonton soup, and pork belly fried rice. The house made sangria is perfection.

Moved my daughter in at KU and stopped here. Nice little dive with stellar fusian food. Do your taste buds a favor and fill your belly here. Kimchi fries were great. The Pho-rench Dip was amazing. The sticky ribs were good. The pork chili dumplings mmmmm so good. And the Birria tacos special was great. I’m definitely coming back here when in Lawrence .

Unassuming place with excellent food. We had the Drunken Noodles with Pork Belly (the pork belly was smokey with a nice char), Classic Pork Dumplings and Pork Dumplings with Chili Oil. All were house made and prepared perfectly. Highly recommend!!

Stopped by here on a trip through Lawrence and was not disappointed. The food was great and the staff was great. The pork dumplings were hand made and had great flavor. The brisket fried rice was a great fusion of flavors. I also took some of the curry home and it was great even the next day. Price wise an about what you’d expect from a fast casual place, $12 for a decent sized appetizer you can share and $18 for a main that I took half home from.

I’ve eaten their food a couple of times and it’s all excellent. Recently we went for Happy Hour and to dine inside instead of take out. It’s not a fancy restaurant but warm and inviting. We were taken care if by the bartender, Josh, she gave us beyond excellent service. From the HH menu we ordered chicken wings which were smoky and delicious, also the dumplings and cucumbers were fresh and tasty. We also had cocktails and mine was SUPER!!! The “Fairy Nectar”, it features vodka, blueberry, lemon and triple sec with glitter and a sugar rim. It tasted amazing. We ordered The kimchi fries which were perfectly spiced, generous portions and also amazing. To go home we ordered Pad Thai with tofu, Brisket Fried Rice and Big Brisket Sandwich. I enjoyed the Vietnamese Noodle Salad in the past. I can’t say enough about the delicacies Ive eaten here. The brisket no matter what it’s on is one of the BEST I have ever had…..hands down. So I recommend anything and everything they serve but especially Brisket!!! (And dumplings etc….). You will never leave disappointed. Run don’t walk to try this place out, I recommend it to everyone who will listen!!!

Holy moly!!! Mind blown by this place… we were in town visiting and didn’t expect too much. I grew up in San Francisco w a lot of authentic Asian food and dim sum dumplings, etc. So my expectations have always been pretty high. We pulled up and the parking lot and building looked underwhelming from the outside. I was about to be pleasantly surprised.
THIS PLACE BLEW MY MIND! I’m still wrapping my head around it:
Casual yet swanky in its own way. Kind of a speakeasy meets dive bar meets casual gourmet dining. Anthony Bordain playing on the bar TV, low lighting, booths to slip into, artsy waitresses, casual yet nice atmosphere, a foodie menu that consists of many creative chef touches. And those dumplings…. Oh lawwwdddd! Im still thinking about them a month later.
We ordered the classic pork dumplings with the spicy sauce on the side (due to my child). They were PERFECT! Some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly soft and crispy, so flavorful, not greasy, not dry, not chewy, not overly salty. We devoured them way too quickly. We immediately ordered more. Eight was not enough. We ordered the fried rice without any meat. The waitress did mention the pork belly was delicious, but we were trying to eat a bit lighter. This rice was SO good! Very different than any fried rice we’d ever had. Many unique flavors pops and you can just taste how much love and thought went into creating that rice! It’s a must try!
Our tastebuds were on cloud nine! We wanted to shout it to everyone to go eat there! We went back the next night and got more dumplings to go lol. If we lived there, this would be our go-to for sure!! I wish I could’ve tried more on the menu!

Wow, what a unique and wonderful place to eat! We started with Salmon Rangoon, which were so good! I got the chicken sandwich with raspberry beet salad, so great! The sandwich had slaw and pickles, so not your typical chicken sandwich, the best! My husband got Pho’rench dip and fries, which was equally delicious. Fries are nicely seasoned and flavorful. His sandwich had a little kick to it, but not too spicy. First time and loved it! Our waiter was very attentive and kind as well.

I’ve heard a lot about this place so I wanted to try it out so we took a little drive tonight, about 3 hours from where we live.
By far the best part of the meal were the smoked salmon rangoons.
The dumpling wrappers were just a little too thick for me however the filling was nicely seasoned. They were more like a soup dumpling almost because they had a brothy liquid that squirted out after the first bite.
I ordered the fried chicken fried rice and my boyfriend order the chicken sandwich. Both were good however I don’t think we’d drive another 3 hours to go again.
