Description

Nestled in a quaint corner of Brooklyn, this charming restaurant beckons food lovers with its inviting ambiance and heartfelt service. Diners rave about the excellent soup dumplings, with flavorful broths and generous fillings, although some wish for improved presentation. The scallion pancakes and rice dishes, especially the fried wontons and stir-fried noodles, receive high praise for their taste and value. While seating is limited and prices on the higher side, the warm hospitality creates a sense of belonging, making this spot a must-visit for anyone craving authentic comfort food in a family-run atmosphere.

Quick and attentive service, with consistently delicious food and no unpleasant surprises. The menu is quite extensive.

My husband has been bringing me to this restaurant since we started dating almost 15 years ago as teenagers. Today, we took our toddler with us, and I'm pleased to say that the service and food are just as excellent as ever! The manager (or perhaps the owner—I'm not entirely sure) is always so friendly and even gave our daughter a lovely little Christmas gift before we left. We absolutely love this place and hope it will be around for our child to enjoy just like we have.

I absolutely love this restaurant in Shanghai. The service is excellent, and the food is bursting with flavor. We visit at least a few times each year. One of the best things about this place is the pricing; you simply can't find better rates anywhere else. We always order the large hot and sour soup, which is enough to be shared among up to eight people, so I highly recommend getting a soup if you're dining with a large group. Family dinners here are always enjoyable. It's best to call ahead for reservations, especially for larger parties, as the restaurant is quite small. Overall, it's a wonderful spot, and I'm always looking forward to returning!

Can improve on the soup dumplings because they were all broken and the soup leaked out of them. The scallion pancakes are great, and the rice dishes too! This is a tiny place, don't expect much seating, and the prices are a little high as well.
