We went mostly pork this time. We had pork Xiao long bao (steamed pork soup dumpling) handmade. This had a tasty soup base inside. fried pork bun, fried sesame scallion which seemed thick. We thought it was going to be thin. We Also had beef roll ,this was okay tasting but really couldn’t taste the beef. Cucumber salad this was quite cool and refreshing on a hot day. Also had PF chicken ( pot sticker), fried Lao mian noodles.. These last two items were good quality, not the best, but good. Overall, we enjoyed the Asian craving of food, since not much quality from our area. As always, post where ever your palate ends up taking you.

XLB is good and authentic , other food is average. Service was good. BTW, I was thirsty after the meal - suspect that the food has msg added.

Small joint, seems pretty popular and I can see why.First, the XLB was pretty solid. Much nicer folding than other places I've been. Taste was fine. 4/5Beef roll - 5/5. It was really crispy. The size is a little small compared to other places, but overall, would definitely order again.Pan fried bao - 3/5. It's fine. Nothing mind blowing.Fried rice - Pretty decent. Could be a little more flavorful. 3/5Beef slices - it's the same beef that goes into the roll. Not much flavor, a bit dry. 2/5. Pass.Overall, price is pretty fair and the staff is friendly, despite being very busy.Would recommend.

This place is very popular and there weren't that many seats inside. We waited for about 15-20 mins when arrive at noon on a Saturday morning.The xiaolongbao and pork bun all taste good. The popcorn chicken has a great portion. The pan fried dumpling is a bit too oily.

Get the beef wrap! It is so delicious. It may be the best beef wrap I've had so far because these had the perfect proportion of meat, sauce, scallion and bing. The cherry on top is that there is a thin outer layer of crispy flaky bing. Perfect mouthfeel ?. The XLB was also really good with thin skin and lots of juice! The golden buns were not cooked in fresh oil and you can taste all the oiliness right away so I would not order that again. Overall, great food!

I enjoyed the food here. Came here on a busy Friday night around 8pm and ordered the Chicken fried rice, chow mein and the chicken. Everything tasted good. The food is a little pricey but what I expected. I liked their excellent service, taking my order immediately and as we waited for are order the man working up front came outside to hand us are food. Perfect restaurant to take your family out to, you will enjoy It!

My friend recommended this place to me and it's been more than 5 times I ate at this place and finally I write a review.I had a veggie and pork wanton soup, stir fried rice noodles and crab and pork Xiao long bao. Man, that Xiao long BAO was amazing. It is very hot when it just comes out so be careful not to hurt yourself. The old man gives you a small plate of ginger which you can have with spicy sauce on the side of your table.Then the wanton soup was also satisfying. Very satisfying and almost relaxing taste. Not strong, nor salty. I realized I ordered too many foods at this point and left much rice noodle and took it home. But stir fried rice noodle is also goood. It is very very healthy. It's like you are actually sitting in a restaurant in a rural China where chefs just learned from watching their former chefs. Traditional Chinese.And I had a tea. I'm pretty sure it's Jasmine tea. Ohh what a nice combination with xiaolongbao and wanton soup...

The food was fine. However... Dry Erase board posted $4.99 price for Edamame. They charged $5.99. My mom discovered it on the receipt while we were waiting for the food. I went up to the cashier to ask about the $1 difference. He said "Price went up" pointing to the laminated menu $5.99 for edamame. The other drawback was that seating on the right side of the entrance gets a big draft every time that door opens. Our napkins blew off the table.

Solid 4 stars! The hits were definitely the golden fried buns, the beef pancakes and the fried rice! Some small misses: the XLB fell apart a little too easily, the pan fried buns were a little undercooked on the top, and the gyoza was just average. Overall fair prices and good food, would come back!

Maybe I’m used to authentic Chinese food but everything I ordered had a funny after taste. Wasted about $60 on food. Didn’t finish one order of anything I purchased. Everything was bland and lukewarm. Only thing truly satisfying was the lo Mein and cucumber salad. Super disappointed and I try to always be positive about new restaurants but the lady taking orders was extremely rude to multiple customers. Will not return.
