My long time favourite Taiwan restaurant changed to a new Chinese restaurant, which is of good quality . Under new management by young couple from Shandong, they are polite and always wear smile. Their mapo tofu is definitely "rice theif", spicy but not burning, my daughter doesn't eat carbs during dinner, but we keep ordering white rice for it. Their string beans are fresh n sweet, they use a bit chillies and vinegar to enhance the favour. Other dishes are good enough to attract customers back. We love the dessert a lot, lightly sweetened with brown sugar source. All the dumplings are handmade by the chef, Iooking forward to come and try next time. P.S. we finally tried their Xiao Long Bao, and they are good too, springy warpping that can hold the meat juice. Latest update: 8th Dec 2024 I stopped by a few times, but seems they closed for almost 3 weeks recently. Today I stopped by again, finally meet a staff moving things out. He told me they are going to start up a new one @ east green lake way soon, after settling that one, they will reopen this old location. I just added their new info. below.

Came upon this place after a failed visit to Seattle Soup Dumpling(closed). Google search showed Dan’s kitchen within walking distance with Soup Dumplings on the menu. We had pork soup dumplings, wonton soup, hot&sour soup and veg rolls which were all amazing. I’d spend the past month filling up on soup dumplings and this definitely topped the list. $13 for 10 hearty dumplings. Will be back on my next visit to town.
