Nice little Restaurant in the strip mall/shopping area in Chinatown. Had a scallion pancake ordered as an appetizer which was brought out with our ramen dishes - which was fine, I guess - a little oily but I think they're all like that; can definitely taste the scallion. We had the spicy garlic beef ramen and I ordered the pork shop ramen. My pork chop ramen had some of the bone in the breading, which was ok, but would have preferred if it was boneless. Food quality was good. The broth for both was good. The ramen bowl was pretty filling.
Great Chinese restaurant with good soup dumplings and hand pulled noodles! The menu has a lot on it but looked at reviews ahead of time and these two items seemed like the restaurant’s most popular and so glad I ordered them! The service was fast, food was great (didn’t love the beef was in the noodles) and the atmosphere was great just a bit crowded. The meal was so affordable too so I definitely recommend!
Great food and great service. My go to here is the noodles with brisket as well as the spicy dumplings. But also the scallions pancake is absolutely delicious. Fried rice is great too.
For drinks you can’t go wrong with the Hong Kong royal tea, so creamy and delicious.

Really enjoyed this place. There’s no pictures on the menu so you’re kinda just winging it based on what you want in your dumplings. We went with Shrimp Pork and Leek steamed, and then the server recommended Beef Scallion fried. I have never had a fried soup dumpling. It was fantastic. Steamed ones were excellent as expected
Great Sichuan options for cold days! The dry chili beef and dumplings in sichuan chili oil were amazing. Scallion pancakes were also great. Prices are more than fair, service is fast and friendly. Only complaint was that we were seated close to the door and there was a slight draft with the cold air.
Kid friendly, cheap prices, satisfying portions. So flavorful!

The garlic eggplant is one of the best dishes of Chinese food I’ve ever had. Truly. I don’t live in the neighborhood anymore but I make it a point to come when I can. It’s always worth it.
What a pleasant hidden gem! The dumplings are amazing, service is fast, atmosphere comfortable though minimal. It looks very inconspicuous from the street, but once you are inside be ready for a treat! The flavor combinations are great and there is a lot to choose from. We shared orders and got about 4 different choices. Every one was excellently.
First time here. Service was quick and friendly. They have a very extensive menu. We ordered the house pho and sesame chicken. Unfortunately they were sold out of pho soup, so we had hot and sour instead. The soup was good and the chicken had a great flavor. We would return again.
Limited indoor seating. Best to make reservations ahead of time if possible. I was seated in 20 mins without a reservation. Great menu selection and excellent customer service. The dumplings are fresh and full of flavor.
I would’ve given this 5 stars if it wasn’t so expensive. But definitely worth trying once.
Had the lamb kabobs ($6/6 skewers) - best taste and price. Shrimp, pork, and leeks (steamed, $17 order of 12) and lamb and leeks (fried, $17 order of 12) was great but a little over priced.
Waited an hour to get seated. Make sure to reserve on yelp before coming.

Went here for my son's 16th birthday. The place small and easy going. We were seated pretty quickly though we did have to wait about 10 min for a table, which was not a problem at all. The staff was courteous and the service was fast too. We ordered a beef brisket hand pulled noodles soup which was sooo delicious!! My daughter ordered herself a plate of orange chicken which was just too good to share. I got the honey walnut shrimp.... Now I don't particularly like mayo or walnuts however this is the only place so far where I will make an exception! We also ordered Thai iced tea. Gave the service 4 stars because while my kids and I love to be left alone when we dine out, we needed a member of the staff to come to our table and we felt a little ignored. I'll hand it to them, it was a full house so, it's cool. If you like noodles, sushi, or want some comfort food this is the place to go!
To go order 10/20 picked up at 7:00pm: There was a pube on one of our soup dumplings, so we obviously did not eat them.
This was my first time eating soup dumplings and I have thought about it every day since.
The service was friendly but understaffed. I’m not sure how soup dumplings travel but I’d probably order takeout over dine in again. Still 5 stars because it was a great first time experience overall.

One of the few restaurants that I order the same things every time we go: truffle beef soup dumplings, crispy pan fried lamb dill soup dumplings, chicken hearts, pig ears, Chinese style seaweed salad (different than Japanese style) & the special Off Color tea beer brewed just for them. Their chili oil is so flavorful, looks like they have a large nutmeg in each jar.,
From the moment you walk in you can tell they know what they are doing. And lots of people clearly love it.
For me it was hard to appreciate the strong flavors, also it felt very salty. Even the chicken hearts were overloaded with spices. But again, that’s me. I can talk how much people love it and truly enjoy the food, the service and atmosphere.
Keep in mind that is not cheap.

Had lunch here on a Saturday - I had been wanting to try this place for a long time and it did not disappoint! Soup dumplings in general are amazing, but this place takes it to another level!! The flavors of the filling are downright sumptuous! I highly recommend the beef coriander, lamb coriander, and the lamb dill. All of the dumplings we tried were top notch, but those flavors especially were UNBELIEVABLY delicious! Our server was super helpful and suggested the method of preparation for each variety of dumpling, and we were happy to follow his advice! Can’t wait to visit this place again!
Soup dumplings are one of the most delicious things I've eaten in my life, and I'm so happy that I finally found a good place in Chicago! I enjoyed everything I ate here. For three extra dollars we could get wagyu beef for our dumplings which was a nice upgrade. I liked the food, I just think it was a bit pricey (as everything in Chicago nowadays) but worth trying out at least once.
I have to say that the wood wear mushroom salad was surprisingly good.

Love the design of the place, super cute and simple. They had a buy 12 get 12 for free deal which was awesome. I got the beef truffle and lamb dumplings. Both were delicious pan-fried. The dumplings are pretty soupy compared to other dumplings I have had. The bubble tea was pretty good, although the order wasn't done correctly.
This is an awesome spot for a quick bite! I really liked the tofu dumplings! I would recommend against the seaweed salad, which is too strong on its own imho. The atmosphere is exceptionally clean, pleasant, and charming. I really liked looking at the custom built in architecture and art.
This is a very beautiful place, ambiance is great. Staff is good too but food is not at all good. We had zucchini and tofu dumplings, they were salty with no taste. Chilli oil was not at all spicy. My kids had chicken and lamb dumplings which they liked it. Oreo shake was very good and olong tea with boba was nice too!
I love the chicken soup dumplings here. The pork was good too but the chicken really shined through. Crab rangoons are also really good. I thought the scallion pancakes were too crispy and hard to eat...also kind of bland. The sesame chicken tasted like orange chicken.
The pork soup dumplings are sooo good here served on a bed of steamed baos cabbage!😋
Also ordered from the appetizer menu, scallion pancakes, which were light, flaky and crispy 😋. Plus, the chilled spicy pig ears ... mmm... drenched in a chili oil, soy, sesame seed sauce.
Service was quick despite being super busy around lunchtime.
Definitely stopping here again next time we visit Chicago Chinatown and trying other dishes.

Very extensive menu. Food was delicious! Must go back...
Such a charming place! The staff was extremely helpful and informative, helping me select the best options. The dumplings were delicious, especially the lamb and coriander!
I liked this place a lot - i originally went for the xiao long boas (soup dumplings) and i thought they were good in portion sizes, nice and fresh, and had lots of soup within them. i wasn’t the biggest fan of the textures, but the flavors were good overall. i also really enjoyed their other fried treats like scallion pancakes
This place is definitely a vibe! So cute. We had the sampler plate. 6 different dim sum, 2 of each, perfect for us! Great music 🎶 and art work. Staff was so nice and extremely helpful.
I've always wanted to come here to find very specific Chinese dishes that I've seen on Instagram but never got a chance to try.
They were on point on service for how late we showed up and everything came out the way I had imagined. The jellyfish salad here actually has vinegar in it for the tangy flavor that other places fail at. I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

A wonderful little place I stumbled across while walking downtown. The atmosphere and staff are warm and welcoming. Everyone greeted me with a smile and offered to help me understand the menu options. What I like most about this place is the variety of food and cool interior design. It brought joy to my soul lol.
I ordered the truffle dumplings and some others, I can't remember at the time of writing. The food was good but I do wish they were bigger sizes. Would definitely come by again

Very neat interior! It's incredibly beautiful and it's just fun to be inside of the building. The dumplings are really good and its nice to be able to mix what kinds you want. You order at the front and then you take a seat and wait for the dumplings to be ready. I'd recommend going with friends so you can all get different dumplings and mix. There seems to be a bar but every time I've gotten it's not been open, probably is for busier days. I really Enjoy! It's a cool spot in the city to check out
Delicious cuisine. Very vegan friendly. Staff knows what's vegan or vegetarian. Very friendly and accommodating. A little on the salty side, but not enough to ruin it. Just extra thirsty. Unfortunately, we didn't like the soybean milk. It was underwhelming. The bao zi and dumplings are amazing! We preferred the steamed dumplings or bao zi to the pan fried ones. Loved the noodle and fried rice as well. Great chive cakes (has egg). Although the rice would be better without the frozen peas and carrots. Highly recommend!
The food was poor. When we question the waitress they were really only two types of potsticker served. I ordered the Mongolian beef and ask for it to be extra spicy; it was quite bland. The rice was very sticky and the shrimp were not done well. The service was not that great as the girl only came back once to check on us. I really hate to give any restaurant a poor rating but will never be back.
This Chinese restaurant tastes great. It should be the best Chinese food I have ever eaten in the United States. The price is also very cheap. The service is very warm. I will always come back. Highly recommended.
