I don't appreciate bait and switch with prices they have on the menu and I looked at what I wanted to buy and each item that I bought was 25% more at the at the checkout. Instead of paying $4, I paid $5, I paid a dollar more. I bought two items instead of paying $8, I ended up paying $10. What if I didn't have an extra $2 in my pocket, I should be embarrassed to say I'm sorry I don't have the money! I looked at the menu, I expected to pay $8, the fact that it was more, and I should be the one avoiding embarrassment? It should be the owner to store avoiding embarrassment!!
I had the dumplings which were very good, if at the price I wanted to pay, not the price they raised it to; however, the soup was horrendous while the pulled-noodles were very good with extremely minimal soup, I order a vegetable soup, one piece of spinach (a small one at that) nothing else, no other Chinese vegetables, nothing nada and one egg.
Horrendous, I expected better, how am I supposed to come back to this place??? What was asked for, was not delivered. And the pricing is predatory. They bait you with a small price with the menu, and then when you come in they raise the price 25%, that's absurd!!!
If their prices are higher, they should print new menus, it's no excuse to say "oh we can't afford to print new updated menus" , or gee at 25% you certainly making enough more money, you can print new menus, it's only paper with ink, you print them once and you don't trick your customers!!!
I don't think I'll be coming back to the store that lies and does not give me what is advertised. I don't recommend you coming to this place. It is certainly worth a trip to another hand-pulled store or maybe Wo Hops in the...
Read moreThis is such a special place. This food belongs in the Bible. It should be revered like the Kings and Queens and even the gods of mythology. You’re not getting better dumplings than this. The shredded meat and cabbage or leek is so tender, so sweet, spicy, sour, vinegary, and the tender sheath, the skin of the dumpling is so chewy yet soft and wheaty and flavorful like nothing else. It’s just as unique as the distinct flavor of a Cheerios or Quaker oatmeal, but completely different and better. This is just the steamed dumplings mind you. The rest of the food will need subsequent reviews. Phenomenal. Eat there today.
Edit: These days it’s all about the oxtail noodle soup. Hot dog that...

I'm feeling it the NEXT DAY. I asked for recommendation for handmade noodle w/ beef but not soup, and they gave me boiled beef, noodles and not sauce. I tasted terrible and dumped it. I'm all about supporting local spots but damn not good. I would...
