"Legit will come back here again for the food. The place was very clean as well. All the soup dumplings we ordered were great. The pork chop and soy garlic wings were amazing as well. Lastly, the hot and sour soup was one of the best I ever had and its serving size fed three people in our group -- outstanding value at $4.95."
"The dumplings are amazing! They're so juicy and flavorful. I also love the noodles. They're cooked perfectly and have a great texture. The ambience of this place is amazing. Loved the staff and the service. They also have plenty of veggie options."
"Loved getting lunch here. It’s easy to find parking, restaurant itself is big, new and clean so there’s not a long wait and good for bringing a baby. I liked everything we had. The house dumplings were delicious and every flavor was distinct. The shrimp cucumber one is unique and refreshing and my favorite is the truffle XLB. If you get bubble tea make sure to emphasize the bubble because it’s actually considered an add-on, but I like that you can choose how much sugar to add. We also tried the coconut lava balls which remind me of dim sum sesame balls but with coconut tapioca inside. So it’s very mild in terms of sweetness and a little gummy in texture. I personally liked it but could see why others might not. Overall everything tasted good and didn’t feel heavy."
