Our waitress was fantastic I'm sorry I don't remember her name. She helped us with menu selections and the food was FANTASTIC We... even brought extra home. The Nutella wontons never made it out of the car. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for the qualityand portions. Read more
I was looking for a place to grab lunch around the area and here, I decided to try this place out. The restaurant doesn?t have... its own parking lot, so be prepared to look for street parking. The door entrance is not wheelchair accessible because of thefew steps at the entrance. We have a stroller with us, which requires some work to get inside. This place isn?t big, but able tofit maybe about 10 tables. The server was pretty nice and friendly. My daughter kept whispering to me that she looks likeMirabel from Disney Encanto. Hahaa. Let?s talk about the food now. Honestly, only worth my one time try. Food LOOKS good buttaste uhhh nothing special. Szechuan wonton vs Shanghai wonton?I choose Shanghai wonton but it ain?t yummy enough for me to eatthat again. The wonton skin isn?t smooth and silky enough. Pork belly bun vs Short rib bun?definitely the pork belly bun. Nowthis would be something I wouldn?t mind ordering again. That pork belly bun was not like other places, one big slice of porkbelly. This place actually have that pork belly shredded and pieces. The sauce of that pork belly bun was pretty flavoring too.The short rib bun, on the other hand, was really uhhh. The short rib was really dry and tasteless. Next, the Short rib frenchonion bowl with ramen was nothing special. The short rib in that order was a good portion, but not tender enough. The soup basewas not authentic enough. Now with the kids meal chicken cutlet bowl. The chicken cutlet was thin and hard! My husband and Ineeded extra time to bite and chew that up, nevermind my 5yo. I just gave her the lo mein, which isn?t really lo mein likeChinese restaurants but actually stir fried udon. And yes again, so so. No where near a good stir fried udon I have eatenbefore. Overall, only worth trying out of all those is the pork belly bun. (Period) Read more

The food was delicious/big and we would definitely order again, probably take out next time though. Service was a little slow... and not super professional, but they were still really friendly. The wait time for food wasn?t too bad and the prices are decentfor the portions. The vibe and ambience inside isnt amazing, but I enjoyed it for the food Read more
It was love at first sight. We stepped inside to ask for quarters for the parking meter. We were immediately greeted with a... burst of positive and friendly energy from who I would soon discover was Jennifer. We grabbed our change ready to leave. Jensaid, "why not eat here?" I glanced at a customer eating general tao chicken and it looked and smelled incredible. I said to myhuzzbaaann let's stay. I have visited this phenomenal establishment at least 5 times within the first month. I am a foodie and acook as well. I'm not easily impressed by everything; I'm truly a critic. But let me tell you, the meals and apps I've had hasbeen AMAZING. From the General Tao, short ribs, Lo-Mein, fried rice, ravioli, dumplings, buns, and my favorite; spicy seafoodramen. My goal is to taste EVERYTHING on the menu. Cheers to the chefs in the kitchen. I taste your love, and my soul is full.Jenn is officially my new bestie; her personality has been consistently pleasant and upbeat. And it feels genuine. The ownerAnthony is very personable and hands-on which I think is an extraordinary quality. This is my new favorite and healthyaddiction. Visit them and taste the secret ingredient in their big bowls and little plates. The secret ingredient is love and itwill get you hooked! Read more
