Reviews
- annoying_fennelThis brand new spot honestly made me so happy. The crab roe rice was the absolute star — a whole bowl just loaded with crab roe and crab meat, mixed into the soft sticky rice and the aroma was insane. They give you this little vinegar sauce on the side that cuts through the richness and brings out the freshness, zero fishy taste at all. The crab roe chicken was such a pleasant surprise, the roe is super rich and creamy and the chicken is so tender, really nice layers of flavor. The crab roe xiaolongbao come out steaming hot, skin is thin and there's so much soup inside — definitely take a tiny first bite and sip the broth or you'll burn yourself lol. Place is nice and quiet, service is solid, and they refill your rice for free which I really appreciated. Perfect if you're a crab lover and into tasting the real flavor of the ingredients. It's a bit pricey per person but honestly worth a special trip. Try to avoid peak dinner hours though, food comes out way faster.
