The squash dumplings had a very distinctive flavor, though I would have preferred a bit more spice and slightly less dill or lemongrass.

This place is not very kid-friendly, so I would recommend it for a date night.

The food was absolutely delicious, particularly the Dan Dan noodles, and the presentation was beautiful, which is always a nice touch! Our server was incredibly sweet, funny, and attentive. On a previous visit, I tried their crispy chicken bao (no photo available), and it was fantastic—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! I highly recommend adding that to your order.
