Authentic Northern Chinese mom and pop place for to go or dined in. Most people just grab n Go but we dined in because we found a parking space right in front of the restaurant.
Small plates : Lotus root salad - refreshing
Spicy tripe - not that spicy but with numbing effect. Good

Beef crepes- very good
Beef Noodle soup - noodle was al dente. Beef was tender and flavorful broth. Highly...

The dumplings are 14 per order and soup dumplings came in...
