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

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.

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.

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!
