Reviews
- enormous_carawayIf you're coming here for the legit shumai and that home-cooked flavor, this place is gonna hit the spot. The zucchini and lamb dumplings had skin so thin you could practically see through it, the cold shredded zucchini salad was super refreshing, and the chive pockets were crispy outside with a fragrant filling — all just simple, old-school comfort food done right. The braised pork was the Mao-style kind, super tender and packed with flavor, and the steamed sea bass was really fresh and delicate too. Portions are honestly huge — we ended up boxing up two whole doggy bags. One heads up though, weekend dinner rush gets pretty packed and the food comes out a bit slow, so I'd suggest coming at an off-peak time if you can. Overall the flavors are consistently solid, almost nothing disappointed, and it's the kind of homestyle spot you could honestly come back to all the time.
