Newly opened restaurant in RC. Glad that more Chinese places are opening in the inland empire.
Service is good, restaurant is clean, ambiance is so-so.
Unfortunately, food is just average at best.
For the Xiao Long Bao, the perfect ratio is 20-30% soup, 70-80% meat but here it's not. That's why the XLB sinks and doesn't maintain that upright & structured shape. Upside is, it's better than China Republic's XLB.
For the spicy wontons, I don't think they make it by hand. Tastes like it's from a central kitchen. The skin was super hard.

Meat pie was alright but 626 area has better ones.
Overall, you can get better Chinese food from either Seven Grams in Victoria Gardens (for XLB, Spicy Wontons and Beef Roll) or Changan Kitchen in Ontario (Beef Noodles, Fried Rice, Vegetables, Pan...

And if you are ever nursing a cold, I recommend the spicy beef noodle soup! The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the beef pieces were so tender and flavorful. Definitely...
