Jan 2025 We decided to stop by here for dinner and check out their soup dumplings. The inside is brightly lit and very open, with some half walls separating the dining area into sections. They had some instrumental music in the background. The kitchen is mostly open to the dining area, resulting in a noise level similar to a busy cafe.
There is a table to the right of the entrance set up for take out orders. There is a tablet for ordering, as well as utensils and sauce packets.
They mostly have 2-4 person tables and booth-chair tables, with one 10 person table. They seem to prefer seating people at bigger tables. Like seating 2 people at a 4 person table, likely so there is enough table space for all the food.
The staff were quick to greet us and friendly. They gave us one of those paper ordering menus and a pen. The tables have QR codes if you want a picture menu and allergen info. They gave us water and small plates of ginger paste (for the dumpling sauce). After filling out the paper, they confirmed the order, printed it out, and taped it to the side of our table. They checked on us frequently and refilled our waters without asking.
Interestingly, they marked the sides of the bamboo steamer baskets to indicate what type of soup dumplings. Pork is unmarked, chicken is C, and crab is ||.
The soup dumplings were decent for the price. A good amount of soup with a decent amount of meat. The dumpling skin was thicker than expected. However, there wasn't much flavor. The chicken had more flavor than the pork. We did not try the crab.
The beef stew noodle soup had a rich broth and lean, soft beef. The green onion pancake was very crisp and thin, with an average amount of scallions. The pan fried pork buns had a decent amount of juicy meat, but it was a bit difficult to get a bite of both the bun and meat at once. We tried the Chinese crepe special and were quickly surprised at how spicy it was. Note that their house sauce contains a lot of sriracha.
They have 2 all gender bathrooms. Interestingly, the closer bathroom has both a toilet and an urinal. While the further bathroom has a baby changing station but no urinal. They were both spacious, clean, and dry.
Overall, very good service and decent food. We...
Read moreSuch amazing dumplings! Not going to lie, made my meal 100% out of different types of dumplings, they were all delicious. Definitely look at the menu online, the paper order form has zero pictures, but the online menu has pictures of every item. My friend had the dandan noodles and really loved them. My hands down favorites where the soup dumplings and the potstickers!
The first time you go I would recommend planning on trying a little bit of a lot of things. It is more expensive but it's really nice to share plates with a friend and try lots of things.
The staff are welcoming and helpful, but they don't come back and check on you a lot, so you may need to wave them down if you need things after they get your food out to you. (We were not there at a busy time, so I don't think this was a lack of time on their part.)
The restaurant is very accessible, wide aisles easy to pull up multiple wheelchairs at a table even their large group dining area in the back has good clearance around the table. They have two huge unisex single stall bathrooms that can easily accommodate multiple wheelchairs. There is a curb cut down at the end of the shopping center walkway, and the walkway is wide enough for opening the door not to be a close fit. Only downside is no automatic doors on the front or the bathrooms. In person order forms are extremely small print, if you have visual impairment you will want to look on your phone or bring some sort of magnifier. The atmosphere is a...
