    We liked the gai lan, pan fried pork bun, and beef tendon noodle. The peanut noodles and soup dumplings were okay. Lucky this spot is in this area!

    Soup dumplings are solid, with thin skins and good broth. They  come four to an order - handy for solo diners. Mapo Tofu is underpowered and oddly, it's served pre-mixed with rice.

    The soup dumplings are okay. The pan fried pork bao's flavor is spot on but could do with more filling. The spare ribs are good and the braised beef noodle soup is very rich and satisfying.

    We ate half the menu with a group and pretty much everything was fantastic. The shumaj and soup dumplings are top notch.

    Everything is awesome but don't skip the steamed bao. And adding fried chicken to top of your dish is completely worth it

    Soup dumplings were ok, nothing to rave home about but if your craving and don't want to go to Chinatown, solid place. Soy garlic fried rice w chix was tasty and pork buns were greasy but filling

    Obviously get the soup dumplings, but don't sleep on the pork meatballs with eggs and rice.

    I wish I was an inch tall. So I could be trapped inside one of these soup dumplings, then have to eat my way out.

    Mapo tofu was pretty bland but I'd definitely come back for the soup dumplings and garlic fried rice. So good!

    Protip: don't get soup dumplings togo. Had those + chicken curry over rice+egg, was decent but need to be consumed hot. Fun atmosphere

    Soup dumplings and pork buns are a must have. After that, improvise.

    It’s a good place in the neighborhood. Not as great as Xi’an Famous Foods, but good.

    The soup dumplings are standard but go for something else, you'll be more pleasantly surprised

    Pros: fast service, spacious seating, and good music. Cons: not as good as soup dumps in Chinatown, but a little more pricey.

    Tip? Avoid. Ordered food for pickup, food was sitting on the counter, asked the guy 5 times if that was mine, then after 20 minutes it finally dawned on him that it was. Food not worth the wait.
