" Had a wonderful dinner experience here! The wonton noodles are a must-try - they have that perfect shrimp and pork filling that keeps you coming back for more. The broth is flavorful and comforting, most definitely reminiscent of traditional Hong Kong styles. The staff was attentive, and the ambiance felt cozy, making it a great place to enjoy a warm meal. I highly recommend the fried dumplings as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute must-go if you are in Chinatown! The wonton noodle soup is spectacular, bursting with flavor and authenticity. I also tried the stir-fried noodles with vegetables which paired perfectly with the soup. The atmosphere is cozy, and although it can be busy, the food makes the wait worthwhile. Service on the other hand could be improved; we had to flag down our waiter a few times. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable experience! My friends and I came here after hearing fantastic reviews, and we were not disappointed at all! The wonton soup was divinely good and incredibly comforting, and the staff was welcoming. I'd say the only downside was the tight seating which made it feel a bit rushed. Still, the food definitely outweighed any minor inconveniences. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge fan of wonton noodles and this place truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I sat down with the aromatic tea, I knew I was in for a treat. The noodle soup had a depth of flavor that transported me straight to the streets of Hong Kong. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the environment felt warm and welcoming. Definitely adding this to my favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is rich in flavor and very fulfilling. I had the pork and shrimp dumplings, and they were heavenly! It’s a small little spot in Chinatown but don’t let that fool you. The taste packs a punch! Just a tiny bit on the oily side for my taste but still delicious. Would definitely return for that amazing wonton noodle soup! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
