" An amazing culinary journey! The pork buns and chili wontons transported me back to my childhood visits to Taiwan. Each dish was lovingly prepared and the flavors were authentic. Our server was friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The vibe inside was inviting, and the decor made it feel like a cozy retreat amid the hustle of the city. I'll be recommending this place to everyone I know! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Sweet Chive did not disappoint! I found every aspect from the service to the food to be outstanding. The spicy chili wontons were the highlight for me, and the scallion pancakes had the perfect crunch. The ambiance felt warm and inviting.

" Sweet Chive is one of those places that you just can't help but love! The atmosphere is soothing, and the staff is genuinely kind. I loved every bite of the spicy chili wontons and the pancake sliders—two of my favorites from the menu! The only downside was the wait time; it took some time for our food to arrive. Nonetheless, it was well worth the wait. I can't wait to return with friends for a proper feast. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sweet Chive has a unique charm that’s hard to beat! I really enjoyed the chili wontons and the fish sushi roll, both were outstanding! The only downside was that the ambience could be a bit loud at times, especially when full. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and the staff seemed very attentive. I look forward to trying more of their sushi offerings next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty good dinner tonight! The scallion pancakes were crispy and delicious, but I found the portions for the beef claypot a bit too small given the price. The service was friendly but felt a bit slow; we waited a while for our drinks. However, the inviting ambiance and quality of food balance things out. If you're looking for a chill spot to dine, this is a solid option! " (*Curated Review*)
