Reviews
- winter_currantWalked in and immediately fell for the courtyard vibe — all the old-fashioned decor was so charming, every corner was super photogenic. The staff were really sweet, smiling the whole time, and even took the patience to explain how to eat each dish which was such a nice touch. Everything we ordered had its own character, but the standout was definitely this thin-skinned pan-fried dumpling situation — skin was crispy, filling was juicy, and it had that real old Beijing flavor. Ingredients tasted fresh, layers of flavor were on point, you can tell they actually care about what they're putting out.
