disappointed. here's what happened. I came here tonight to try the pork soup dumplings, beef fried rice, sticky rice ball in liquor soup, and chicken herbal soup, but our main issue ended up being the dumplings.

pork soup dumplings-- 0/10. ALL six of the dumplings oozed out slimy and liquified-looking pork that tasted as unappetizing as it looks. (see photos). on first bite, the meat was runny - the pork literally tasted uncomfortably slimy, the temperature of the soup contained within was actually cold/lukewarm, and left runny streaks on my napkin. me and my partner were excited at first to try BUT this dish ended up making us question its preparation/cooking methods that ultimately felt too uncomfortable to actually finish. here's the main thing: i'm chinese and usually LOVE soup dumplings, but being honest, these were probably the most questionable ones we had and tasted objectively disgusting that i can't see anyone actually enjoying. my suggestion: quality check these dumplings, fix its issues that is causing the slimey and runny taste and most of all, have the kitchen/staff taste test until it tastes right again.

beef fried rice-- 5/10. decent portions. the rice itself felt a little bit hard and undercooked. temperature was lukewarm and didn't taste freshly made. beef was overly chewy in a cheap way. seasoning was lackluster. forgettable flavor.

sticky rice in liquor soup-- 3/10. decent portions. the liquor part of the soup just ended up not a taste we enjoyed - overly sweet soup mixed with overly soggy/boiled sticky rice. i recognize this dish might just be not within my personal preference. others might enjoy this dish, so you might like it. it's just not to my palate nor my partner's.

chicken herbal soup-- 8/10. this soup was surprisingly maybe the only that "saved" the dinner for us. the soup had generous portions served in a decently large cup. the broth tasted flavorful, included four pieces of chicken that was pretty juicy, two dates that added to the overall taste of the broth. REALLY nice dish and would have again.

in conclusion, this felt like a hit-and-miss experience, which i feel bad about since we honestly wanted to have a good time here and there were just more misses than actual hits. and while the herbal soup tasted fantastic, it was overshadowed by the disappointment of our other dishes. it was overall a let down.
