" Wow! I’ve traveled far and wide to try authentic Chinese food, and this place hit the mark! The wontons were crispy on the outside and tender inside, while the broth was perfectly seasoned. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and the staff are so friendly. Just be careful with the service charge—they add it automatically! I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone looking for amazing dumplings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Easy to find in the hustle of Chinatown, this restaurant doesn't skimp on authentic flavors! I was completely satisfied by the wonton soup and fried dumplings. While the service was consistent, I wish they had a larger seating area since we were a bit cramped while eating. I would definitely return for those delicious dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited and had a great time! The wonton noodles were indeed flavorful and had just the right amount of filling. The restaurant itself had a vibrant energy, filled with laughter and conversation. The only thing I'd point out is the automatic gratuity. Still, it was a delightful experience overall and I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on the recommendation of a friend and was thrilled with what I found. The menu is extensive but being a fan of wontons, that’s what I ordered. The soup was flavorsome, and the wontons themselves were tender with generous fillings. My only downside was the slightly delayed service as the rush picked up, but I would happily return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an unexpected lovely experience here. The wontons were delicious, as I had hoped. The broth of the noodle soup was rich and had lots of flavor. The atmosphere had a nice vintage feel to it, which made it enjoyable. The only downside was paying the automatic gratuity as I had intended to tip a bit more due to the service being so good. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (1399)

" Disappointed with my visit. I expected better based on reviews I read online. While the wonton noodles were good, the roast duck was underwhelming and very fatty. The restaurant was cluttered and I felt rushed by the staff, even though it was not overly crowded. They automatically added an 18% service charge, which I didn’t appreciate since I had planned to leave a tip regardless. It felt like they were more focused on getting us in and out than providing a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a quick lunch after hearing rave reviews, and I was not disappointed. The dumplings were fresh and flavorful, and the wonton noodle soup is practically a work of art! However, the staff seemed overwhelmed and it took a while to get seated. Overall, the food made up for the service hiccups! " (*Curated Review*)
