Unfortunately, this Express location did not meet our expectations. We ordered the Crab Pork Xiao Long Baos (soup dumplings) and Steamed Vegetarian Dumplings, two dishes we loved in Flushing, but here they fell flat. Both the dough and fillings were tasteless, lacking any seasoning or flavor. I couldn't detect any crab in the soup dumplings, and the meat filling was generic and bland. The steamed vegetable dumplings were slightly better but still not impressive. To make matters worse, both dishes were served in plastic to-go boxes even though we were dining in. I suppose that’s because it’s an Express location, but it didn’t enhance the experience. Service was decent, the atmosphere was nice, but the food left much to be desired.

The atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly as soon as I walked in. The dumplings were delicious, fresh, and served hot; I tried the chicken with hot and sour soup, and they practically melted in my mouth. I'm definitely looking forward to returning soon to explore more of the menu. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by this charming spot—you won’t regret it!
