Ate here for dinner on Monday, November 7, 2022. This place was a phenomenal Chinese restaurant a few years back with extremely tasty food and friendly customer service. However, this place has gone down. As we entered, we noticed only one gal runningthe front show (cashier and waitress). When we said a party of three her reply was Cash Only . There was no hello or anytype of welcome greeting. Very cold. We even had to sit ourselves. It took some time before the waitress came to our table totake our order. There was a bottle of warm water on the table and when I asked for ice, the waitress response was we do nothave ice in a snotty manner. We ordered the pork buns, won ton soup, beef noodle...

Our crab and pork soup buns had no soup because the skin was broken and soup was leaked. We couldn't taste the crab in the buns. Owner insisted there was crab meat in it. This restaurant used to bebetter."

Entering this restaurant, the aroma was pungent, more than most other Chinese restaurants. Venturing into the place, it was a musky sauna with a wet atmosphere. Similar to Florida after a downpour and then miraculously sunny. Having to ask the waiter to put the ac on, we received a questioned look, and the smell withered away. The presentation was nice, and the food came out quickly, perhaps too quickly? The food was not impressive nor worth the stay. The pork soup dumplings are below average, lacking flavor, and were full of fatty grease that isn?t found in most soup dumplings 4/10. The pork chive leek buns are flavorful and fresh with a nice consistency for each one 7/10. We also ordered b...
The soup dumplings we tried were not good at all. We ordered the crab dumpling, and it had a very overpowering fishy smell that made it clear it wasn’t fresh, even before tasting it. To make matters worse, they cleared away our side plates before we had a chance to use them for the dumplings. I opted for the beef noodle soup, and it was bland and lacked flavor. The appetizers we ordered were just as unappetizing. Overall, our bill came to $80 for food that was far from satisfactory. Save your time and money—this restaurant isn’t worth it. If only they would take a moment to taste their own dishes. Haaaaaaiya!
This restaurant sucked. I would give it zero, no negative stars. They don't accept card and only cash and venmo not telling you in advance. The soup dumplings weren't good. We had the crab one and it tasted VERY fishy and not fresh. We didn't even need totaste it to know it was fishy. Just by scent. They took our side plates we were going to use for our soup dumplings. I had thebeef noodle soup and it lacked a lot of taste and flavor. The same went for the appetizers we had too. Total was $80 for beyondhorrible food. Don't waste your time with this restaurant. If only they tasted their own food. Haaaaaaiya! Book a table now
Got the pan fried pork chive dumplings, house special fried rice, soup pork dumplings, sha cha beef noodle, and mango drinks. Every item was so flavorful. We placed the order 10 mins prior to closing, and they kindly accommodated by staying open 15 minutes after closing to complete our order. The gent in the front of the house was warm, and made me feel so welcomed even offering a drink as I waited. All in all, we?ll definitely make the 30 min trip from home to (re)visit in the next few weeks? what a great authentic taste top notch service to match.
It?s been awhile since I?ve dined at this restaurant and the soup dumplings are still solid. The dough looked thick, but is actually the right thickness. There were lots of soup in the soup dumplings and this restaurant served it with vinegar with extra thin sliced ginger, perfect compliment! The fish with pickled vegetable noodle soup was just ok. Menu said cod, but it tasted like tilapia, so it was a bit disappointing. The dining room was also stark and not very inviting, the place can definitely use some warmer lights to liven up the ambiance.

The dough was overly thick, making it difficult to enjoy. The gizzard was tough and hard to chew. Our crab and pork soup buns were disappointing, as they had no soup inside due to broken skins that leaked. We couldn't detect any crab flavor in the buns, despite the owner insisting there was crab meat included. This restaurant has certainly declined from its previous quality.
