I'd say, Have the Butter Squash Soup. Mmm!
Satvik BeriSeptember 17, 2014
Pretty bad service and experience–took more than 15 minutes to take our order even after we flagged down a waiter, and got our order wrong. Waiter was constantly absent and hard to reach.
Victoria ChanNovember 16, 2017

Best Chinese restaurant ever
Vaidehi KJanuary 8, 2019
It was good, but not great. Their sister restaurant China Blue, which serves Shanghainese food, is much better.

Maggie BlackwellOctober 21, 2015
Food is good and fast but servers were dry and unhelpful. Don't ask for iced green tea. I guess they dont like that
Vivian ChenOctober 20, 2012
1 Michelin star, yo.

Cumin Lamb. Recommended by Marissa and Angela
Lance LiuJune 22, 2013
Don't get why this place is so hyped. Nothing special. Plain food. Tasteless and poor material. One of the waitresses was hot but that's the only thing worth mentioning, yeah, at a restaurant.
Annie JAugust 11, 2013
Bad service and sub par Chinese food. They serve frozen packaged soup dumplings to their customers!! Overpriced and small portions. You're better off going to Evergreen for Chinese good in the area.

Three pepper chicken is like crack, get some.
M GonzalezMarch 17, 2019
Very cozy but not worth the wait time or price - decent but not great. Skip the dumplings, stick to entrees.
AmateurConciergeMarch 18, 2018
Best food and worst decor of this crew’s restaurant group. Err on the side of more dumpling. The crispy chicken, sesame noodles are a must
Blaire FraserOctober 11, 2014
Soup dumplings!

Get the Ma Po Tofu

Not too many gluten free options.
Lears FoolFebruary 17, 2016
For a regular place, it is damn good. For a Michelin star, it was meh. Pork dumplings with chili oil was great.
Elizaveta T.October 10, 2015
Those noodles... 🏆
