Disappointing. Service was absent. We could’ve just walked out and not pay because the workers there didn’t want to come out and do anything. They forgot what we ordered. Nobody sat in there. The food is so so. We ordered Xiao long bao, pan fried dumplings, and regular fried dumplings. And the scallion pancake was questionable. Maybe I’m just not used to it. Total $34

Food is VERY hit or miss. Some items are more tasty than others. Overall food quality is better some days than others. We have probably ordered food from here 5 times and been disappointed 3 out of 5 times now. Those odds aren't good enough for us to reorder again, especially considering the price.

From a food and price perspective, this place is hard to beat. Big portions of tasty and cheap food. The spicy beef noodle soup had flavorful broth and really good beef. The lo mein was super tasty as well as the mini wonton soup. We also got the soup dumplings, which are always delicious. If you’re there to dine in, you check off on the menu what you want and can grab your own drinks. The place was crazy busy for a Monday and now I know why!

Super bummed with our lunch delivery today.... The quality in our meal was really bad..... Nothing seemed fresh tasting, hot, or seasoned appropriately.... I think this may be our last time ordering from here.... Time to find something better in this area.
