Best soup dumplings I have ever had. High pace yet cozy environment, louder atmosphere, all the staff were accommodating. It gets busy during dinner time but it’s worth the wait. Can’t go wrong with any food or drink you choose.

One of my favorite for Asian food. On the night we were there it was extraordinary. They were celebrating Lunar New Year with Lion Dances. So much fun! The lychee martinis are delicious as well! 🍸

Another fantastic dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. This family owned business has been in business for a very long time in San Diego. I remember when they were in a smaller restaurant in the same complex. Asides from the great food I really love there service especially if you have leftovers. Most places will not pack it gir you but here the staff will do that for you. 1. Xia Long Bao, Soup Dumplings "XLB" ( Dumplings filled with Broth. Napa Cabbage and Green Onions) 2. 'Spicy Pork with Eggplant in Garlic Sauce 3. Vegetable Crispy Pan Fried Noodle (Sharghai Shyle crispy noodles) 4. Salt And Pepper Calamari 5. Broccoli Beef

Great service and the food was good overall. However, the atmosphere is a bit weird. It feels like the restaurant has an identity crisis and can't seem to commit to either being a modern bar with food or a normal restaurant.
