★★★★★ 5.0 Katelyn Allred · Feb 2026

Went for an early Valentines dinner and had an amazing time. We're big foodies and enjoyed watching the kitchen work their magic while we ate at that bar top. The soup dumplings, scallion pancake with curry and pot stickers were delicious. We had the duck and bok choy as our main which was seasoned and marinated to perfection. Topping it off with the chocolate dumplings was the perfect bite of sweet at the end of all the savory. Service was steady, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend making a reservation as it fills up quick!

Hey! Just wanted to share some advice from someone who's been coming here for years. We've celebrated a lot of birthdays and other get-togethers here, and honestly, it's all about the food! The service isn't always perfect, and I've seen some reviews mention issues with it. Honestly, I'd say there right about that – about half of the staff seems a bit disinterested. The main issue is definitely with the hostess. Honestly, they rarely answer the phone, and when they do, they tend to be pretty rude. We try to look beyond this because there is some good workers there. We love the lobster puffs, crispy jalapeno shrimp(must have), taro eggrolls with the pineapple sauce is the bizzness, and the soup dumplings is da shizz. Honestly, all the food is so good. Parking is a little tight because it's

★★★☆☆ 3.0 JayVee · Dec 2025

I am pretty sure the waiters either don't see the tip.. or the house takes a percentage or something.. because the service clearly reflects that. Food was good! Dim sum, dumplings and bao buns were a hit. Jalapeno shrimp was over priced and not worth it. On the reservation I had mentioned it's my birthday. They didn't even acknowledge it, say anything or offer any dessert. So if you're going here, food is great.. just expect mediocre service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Barry Mitchell · Dec 2025

The dumplings are terrific and not found easily elsewhere. Second visit here and made new favorites. The pickled cucumbers are an excellent cool foil to the richness of the dumplings. Reservations recommended- it is a small place with some outside seating and very popular. The atmosphere is cramped and noisy, consequently not very relaxing. But the food is outstanding and the service is friendly and accommodating.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Trang Le · Nov 2025

10/31/25 The food was good, but it’s not your typical dim sum restaurant, there’s no cart service; instead, it’s more of an à la carte experience. For the price range, I expected the service to be much more attentive and professional. Servers seemed rushed and disengaged, rarely checked on the table, and didn’t offer refills or ask if we needed anything. When they placed dishes down, they didn’t bother arranging them properly, leaving us to reorganize the table ourselves. One server, the non-Asian staff member, even set a plate down without looking, it ended up underneath our dining towel, which also touched our food. That’s very unhygienic and unacceptable for a restaurant in this price range. Overall, the lack of attention and care from the staff really took away from what could have bee
