Sadly I need to do an update. Don't get me wrong, some of the food is really good but the wonton soup did not have any flavor this time and the last time I tried it. The sticky rice in lotus leaf also didn't have much flavor from the first time I tried it. The egg roll was very greasy this time also. BUT the pan fried dumplings are still delicious!! I asked if all condiments were in the bag when I picked up and was told yes. However the only thing I got was a couple of duck sauce. I didn't get dumpling sauce, 😢 and I usually get something with the rice but nothing this time.
(First review) I tried some different dim sum's and everything was amazing. The handmade pan fried dumplings are probably the best I've ever had! The wonton soup is so good, the wontons are made with the thinner dough and the flavor of them is really tasty.

I really enjoyed the soup dumplings, egg roll, crystal shrimp, and rice wrapped in lotus leaf too! The gentleman who took my order was very kind and helpful. I'm so excited we have a really good, more authentic Chinese restaurant so close! They have American...
Read moreI liked the food overall, though it was on the salty side. The beef noodle soup was the best part. It was a good balance of the light broth, the chewy noodle, and the beef that was well-flavored with a hint of sweetness. I also really liked the beef pancake, the chewy yet crispy pancake works great with the beef and sauce. The seafood soup had high-quality ingredients but it could have been saltier. The blue crab and Spanish dumplings were a typo, they had spinach which is unique. I couldn't taste crab, just shrimp. I really liked the "crispy purple yam with sesame". It was a pancake that resembled a flattened sesame balls, but more subtle. The stir-fried cabbage was surprisingly good, they used a different type of cabbage that was more crispy and sweet than I expected.
The atmosphere could use some improvement. The tables were a little dirty, and there was a draft coming from the door. But I didn't mind the hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant vibes, especially with all the authentic dishes. I'd like to come...
Read moreStumbling upon authentic Szechuan food in the suburbs was a wonderful surprise! As a fan of Han Dynasty in Center City, I can confidently say this spot surpasses it.
