Jaimee EstrellerDiciembre 16, 2015I could eat a whole order of the pork soup dumplings by myself. I mean, you're here for them, do it. And then split the crispy pork noodles and scallion pancakes. Great prices too.

Tianqi LiaoNoviembre 8, 2017It's a shame they no longer offer soup dumplings. Instead you get these pan-fried finger baos, which are equally as good or even better because the portion is manageable.Votación a favor14Votación en contra
Terri RDiciembre 23, 2018Spicy XLB and dan dan noodles were great! I also really enjoyed this pork appetizer (can’t remember the name but it was under the cold appetizer section of the menu).
Votación a favor1Votación en contra- Valentin GuerinEnero 15, 2018Don’t listen to the hype, this is just your typical Chinese restaurant with higher prices. You came for the soup dumpling? They don’t do it anymore. You want a Bao (bun) they don’t do that either...Votación a favor4Votación en contra
Cole KennedyAgosto 28, 2019If you’re here dining solo, which you probably shouldn’t because that’s not the vibe, you should get Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao and Dan Dan Noodles.Votación a favor3Votación en contra
Gianna NebbiaSeptiembre 9, 2018Everything was fabulous- don’t be intimidated by the extra extra spicy XLB- they’re perfectly spicy but not over the top. (Kung pao chx and scallion pancake pictured, both so tasty)

CatherineEnero 6, 2015How to eat soup dumplings: carefully place the dumpling on your spoon. Put a little hole on the dumpling and drink the soup that leaks from it. Then finish the rest of the dumpling.Votación a favor4Votación en contra
Barb LeungOctubre 21, 2016Consistently terrific. The soup dumplings have a delicate and thin skin that burst to reveal a delicious broth. If you're here for lunch, the specials are generous in price and portion.

What's Good HereAgosto 5, 2014Order the pork, pork & crab, & super spicy soup dumplings and eat in that order. The pork & crab are favs, but the spicy is also very flavorful with its inclusion of Asian chili sauce.

Qian SunAgosto 27, 2017Recently they started serve some cute original hybrid Bao, a mix between juicy Bao and Shanghainese style pan fried Bao. Food portion very small...😳

The soup dumplings here are to die for - for two people, get three orders of those: regular, wasabi, and kung fu (spicy). Pair with the scallion pancakes with beef and a couple of Tsingtaos.Votación a favorVotación en contra
Ashley ChanJunio 3, 2017Great place for comfort Shanghai food. The Kung fu (original) XLB is addictive & their large plates are very reliable and not over-spicy. They have some interesting XLB flavors such as wasabi & choc!Votación a favorVotación en contra
