"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...

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.

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.

Decent service and delicious dishes. Not many employees so if it got a little busy, there was one server trying to help out everyone. But still! Everything got to us in one very yummy piece. The interior is clean but very hot since they didn?t have any air conditioning on. The food was perfect. I mostly recommend the rice boxes because it comes with so much. I tried the Fish filet with bean pepper sauce. It came with the fish, sautéed string beans and cabbage, white rice, and a boiled tea egg. Their soup dumplings look to be freshly made and they?re quite tasty. Their pork and chives buns are also very well made. One hundred percent recommend that you try one or the other. Or both!
