Usually I order the duck buns from this restaurant on the weekends. However today I ordered on a Monday and I was very disappointed. The duck looked like it was cooked a day ago. It was 100% pale, had no moisture and even the scallion looked sad. I am really disappointed that this restaurant is even allowing the output of this kind of food. I had to dump out the entire tray because I was scared I would get food poisoning. This is really unethical.
Delicious food and they get it get to you really fast. However, they need to stop being so adamant about tipping. It’s called a tip for a reason. Also, the service wasn’t great. They don’t ask if you need anything, they just pick up the plates without saying a word.
Haven’t been here since pre-pandemic but came here for dinner a few days ago— really liked the way tables were divided. Hanging adjustable dividers really made the place seem extremely sanitary and I felt very safe here. Food brought out was hot and they even gave a egg soup dessert on the house!! Very pleased with taste, cost, and overall experience.
Excellent food and service. I enjoyed the salted tofu soup, purple sweet potato mochi filled with salted egg, lucky 6 soup dumplings and as a bonus for spending over $10 they let me pick out a roasted duck bao for free. At the end of my meal they gave me a warm and sweet dessert with chewy rice cakes in it. Additionally they serve hot tea with the meal. I appreciate the seperation barriers between tables as well. They are cash only too.
I first knew about this restaurant from the original shop in Flushing. Since this one is closer to home I tried it. I was very happy. This was pre-Covid. Today was my first time back since and I must say things flipped. I had my usual three dishes. Soup, Pan fried dumplings and the complimentary XLB. The soup was Shredded pork and persevered vegetable noodle soup. One would have need Sherlock Holmes to find the pork and the bland soup needed lots of help. The pan fried dumplings arrived WAY to fast to have been freshly cooked and due to the internal temperature I am guessing a microwave oven was involved. The XLB tasted...how to out this politely...like it was prepared on a table that was very soapy and not cleaned. I am very sad because it was my favorite. No longer. ⁰⁰
best dumpling place in the neighborhood.all kinds of dumplings are great.In my opinion, other than dumpling dishes are soso.
Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. Menu is eclectic. Clean and nice ambiance. The free Soup Dumplings are extraordinary. Curry Beef Vermicelli Soup is so good it's addicting!
The soup filled dumplings are more flavorful and full than many of the more popular dumpling restaurants. The dishes we're good, but the pan fried noodles were soggy. The extra large size dumpling is a novelty but not really worth the price.
Food is always delicious, comes out super quick. This place never disappoints!
Just as good as the smash hit Flushing location! Same "spend over $10, get free basket of xiao long bao" deal. Instead of xlb, you could opt for Peking duck buns (1 piece per person)They check vaccination status at the door. Interior is very similar to the Flushing location too, fairly clean and bright.
