Jessica ChuJune 19, 2014When you're feeling sad, come here and order some soup dumplings and literally everything on the menu. Bring the leftovers home to eat and sulk.
Kim PhamMarch 30, 2016A great spot for fast, authentic Chinese. The xiao long bao are stellar!

Seong HwangNovember 1, 2014I ordered mini pork soup dumplings as well as mini pork and crab soup dumplings. Pork soup dumplings tasted better of the two. Their skins were thicker than the ones you have in Chinatown though.
FoodiesprAugust 5, 2015Pork soup dumplings are so good! The spicy beef Szechuan it's in a broth not sautéed
Special lamb with cumin is amazing: Lamb fried with a ton of hot dried peppers, Szechuan peppercorns, salt, and whole cumin. Spicy and fantastic!
MariaMay 17, 2018I simply loved this place - go with a bunch of people and try all different types of Chinese food. Really great stuff! Delicious 😋
Terence ChanFebruary 15, 2016Terrible service hardly makes up for the good food. Got the soupy dumplings and the A29 and both were good. Also got the beef stew spicy noodle soup and beef with longhorn peppers (hot!) 3.5/5
David BJanuary 27, 2015Best chinese food in Cambridge I've had so far. Soup dumplings are great. All of the dumplings are great, for that matter!- Amazing dumplings!!! So much better than Patty Chen's Dumpling Room and cheaper too. Best dumplings I've found outside Chinatown.
MaxOctober 8, 2015Excellent sour fish with pickled mustard greens 酸菜鱼 and shredded potatoes with spicy vinegar 酸辣土豆丝
Fabio SanchezSeptember 29, 2016The lunch deal are Great, you get a complete dish with rice and the soup the day.👌🏽
Justin OrdovezaDecember 27, 2016Decent lunch specials. The soup dumplings were good and the pan fried dumplings were crispy.
Sarah NixonMay 24, 2017The dumplings were delicious! So was the beef tendon. Unless you are super adventurous avoid the stinky tofu.
SunainaOctober 28, 2014Just go and dump all the dumplings you can in your tummy. They are so good. Lol. Eat away. And then dump away.
Jack ThalerJune 23, 2014Much more space than the Chinatown location. Same great food. The twice cooked pork is a can't miss dish.
Nick HolroydApril 15, 2016If you're not up for the red line journey to Chinatown, this isn't a bad option for dumplings...but you might wish you took the extra 4 stops south.
We had nothing bad in the eight dishes we ordered, and my whole party is eager to return there sometime soon. For all I know a bunch of them have already
Brandon HaganSeptember 6, 2014Got sick after eating here, and the service was poor. The wait staff seemed to ignore you for the most part. I do not recommend.
