After hearing many positive reviews, we decided to try the weekend dim sum brunch, and it certainly lived up to and surpassed our expectations! We enjoyed the Baby Bok Choy, Chinese Stuffed Eggplant, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, crispy Turnip Cakes, Shitake Chicken Sui Mai, Basil Chicken Dumplings, Chicken Taro Egg Rolls, Shanghai Soup Dumplings, and steamed Egg Cream Buns. Everything was beautifully prepared and utterly delicious, especially the soup dumplings. The staff was incredibly friendly and engaged well with the customers. We can't wait to return for more!

The skin on the soup dumplings was incredibly thin and delightful. The atmosphere is bright and airy, striking a perfect balance between casual and upscale. The lanterns add a charming detail that would enhance the ambiance, particularly for a more intimate evening. They also have a well-stocked bar! I highly recommend trying the giant seafood dumpling, yuzu shrimp, Dan Dan noodles, and the Shanghai soup dumplings (XLBs).

When we arrived, there was a considerable line waiting for them to open. Just a heads up, they will ask you to leave the table once you've finished eating.

The Chinese sausage rice is fantastic, especially when paired with a hint of chili sauce. The salt and pepper shrimp is absolutely phenomenal. I would give it a perfect 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.

This restaurant definitely falls into the latter category, providing amazing food that boasts excellent flavors and generous portions. The dumplings were exceptional—full of flavor and wonderfully tender, making them a true treat. The Hawaiian chicken paired with the peanut sauce was delicious, and it complemented the Dan Dan noodles perfectly. The only reason I’m giving it a four-star review instead of five is the beef potstickers; they were a bit lacking in flavor, and I didn’t particularly enjoy them. Overall, though, I was very pleased with our dinner!
