Reviews
- Rory_4Service: honestly the service here was super attentive — you can tell they've been properly trained, everyone was so warm and welcoming, couldn't be happier with how we were treated. Environment: the place is spotless. The second you walk in you see the open kitchen behind glass, everything gleaming, and even though it's right on the main road there's not a speck of dust anywhere. Even the bathroom smelled amazing. Food: nothing pre-made here, everything is cooked to order and you can really smell the natural aroma of each dish coming out of the wok. And the dumplings — oh man, freshly wrapped right there, one bite and the soup just bursts out. Value: super affordable too, maybe a few dozen kuai per person, but honestly felt like we were eating a meal that cost hundreds. Totally worth it, would 100% come back.
