Worst Dumplings Ever - Don't Waste Your Money I really regret ordered 100+ dollars food from this place. They just don't know about making dumplings. The dumplings were awful — the filling was a weird mix of bland ingredients that didn’t taste like anything it should be and not fresh at all. It was as if they didn't put correct ingredients together and without any thought for flavor. We could barely finish one bite before throw them away. To make matters worse, the dishes didn’t even match their names. I ordered “xie ke huang,” supposed to be some really crunchy cake with nice fillings but what I got was completely off, looks like some frozen beans cakes. All the other dishes the texture was terrible. The chili boil fish looks terrible in a huge tin pan, not many pieces floating in a very diluted sauce water. Looks like someone's left over. We ended up throwing away all of the food. Especially after we got some good ones from another place(yuan bao jiao zi) close by. Honestly, it wasn’t even worth trying to salvage. I don’t know what they were thinking, but they clearly have no clue how to make dumplings or other dishes. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you're looking for decent dumplings, keep looking because this place is a complete fail.

They have a pretty big menu, so one can easily come back and not get tired of the food. Normally restaurants that specialize in dumplings have much smaller menus. Portion size is significantly smaller than Blue Sky Cafe and some traditionally pan-fried dishes are deep fried here like the green onion pancake, but otherwise we like it!

My go-to neighborhood takeout place. Fast, friendly, and reasonably priced. Food ranges from good to great depending on what you're ordering. Despite the name I like their chicken better than their seafood.

Very delicious dishes, and great customer service!!! They also give a complimentary side of egg rolls. Definitely recommend!!!

Love this place. Their food is so flavorful! The pork belly ( Dong Po Pork) is my go to dish every time I visit as it melts in your mouth but it is supper rich …we tried the sweet and sour spare ribs and the were also amazing. Make sure to come hungry…Service is fast and friendly, they are often busy with large groups, but we never had to wait long.

Visited again - updated Their food was great. We tried “weekend special limited donuts and soup”. Shanghai noodle cake was really good. The food is delicious! It’s really crowded and packed with people. The variety of the menu is surprising, you better check the menu and what to order before going there. Yes, the staff was friendly and funny as many people mentioned! 🥟

Food came out hot and fast. Enjoyed the pick 4 item meal. Cantonese Chicken, ribs, green beans and shrimp were great The two people working there were so efficient! Kids enjoyed the cute animal videos playing. Very family and group friendly

Homie food that hits the spot. Lunch special 3 dishes and soup for $32, paid $48 after tax and tip. Rock cod in clay pot delicious, paired with fried pork ribs and green beans

I’ve ordered take out here twice and everything is really good and high quality. Flavor is very authentic. Every dish comes with free cream soup which tastes amazing. Baked items were excellent. Hot milk tea is sweetened. I specified no sweet but was ignored. Please improve the food preparation time. 4 dishes took one hour, 15 mins past ETA. The reception lady has an attitude. This alone makes me not want to order again.

This is comfort Hong Kong cafe style food that hits the spot. I have ordered from here many times and have not been disappointed. I highly recommend the Baked Pork Chop with Cheese & Tomato Sauce and the Bolognese Sauce Baked with Cheese. Also, it is difficult to find HK style rice rolls, so I recommend trying it as well. There are plenty of other options as well and I look forward to trying more items.
