Customer Reviews
It was newly opened here at the Pentagon City Mall, food court level. The food here is pretty good. I had the shanghai shumai and the Rainbow Soup Dumplings. The dumplings are made in-house, which is nice to see. All the food is served to go for now. The prices are a little expensive but you have to realize that this is at the mall and not your typical hole in the wall restaurant.
Hidden gem! Amazing dumplings. The dough, the soup inside each dumpling, shrimp zucchini filling- wow. Definitely coming back. I just wish they served them on plates, not only for to go
10/10 The customer service was warm and welcoming, the food was ready and in no time (Also amazing). I got the chicken fried rice and chicken dumplings. And the Tea shop next to it— Divine!
Extremely disappointing experience. The noodles were terrible, consisting of pre-made ingredients hastily assembled. Noodles are super dry because of it was just taken out from frozen. The ‘soup’ was nothing more than diluted soy sauce. In all my culinary experiences, these were undoubtedly the worst noodles I’ve encountered. The presentation was equally underwhelming. Food items were carelessly placed on recycled boxes, and customers were expected to pour their own soup. The complete lack of service was appalling. Given the poor quality and absence of proper service, the price point is unjustifiably high. A meal of this caliber should cost no more than $5. My sincere advice: explore any other dining option available in the mall. Your taste buds and wallet will thank you.
I wish the menu was more descriptive so I don’t have to guess what I’m ordering, especially since everything is so expensive. Packaging is great.
