    Dumpling craving. I had pork and crab soup dumplings and crispy shrimp dumplings. I alternated between six soup and four shrimp dumplings. The decor was simple and dumpling focused. My order was delivered shortly after being placed. Two sauces were presented prior to arrival found to be vinegar based. I enjoy but prefer sweet chili. I asked for sweet chili and was presented with soy sauce. The crystal shrimp dumplings were filled with shrimp and flavor. The pork and crab soup dumplings were juicy and they burst in my mouth. I appreciate dumplings.

    Service was fast and food was great! The place was clean too. Great spot near Union Square.

    La-zi chicken. Gross

    This was honestly the most disgusting Chinese takeout I have ever had. I felt sick to my stomach all night and still feel gross this morning. The La-zi chicken was described as diced chicken pan-fried, but what I received was basically breaded shredded chicken, and it was not fit for human consumption. I wouldn't give it to any living being, frankly. I see reviews raving about their dumplings, but damn, I do not get it. Never again.

    This review is on take out only. I'm always skeptical about dumplings. But I Love their dumplings. Flavorful and they don't skimp. Will definitely continue to come back. The shrimp and pork shumai are my favorite. Price was decent in my opinion and their soup dumplings were delicious.

    This is a very casual, easy place to grab a meal. The food is extremely okay. I personally would not come back because there are plenty of places in the city that have similar food at affordable prices, but for a quick fix, I get it. Service was okay, the person refilling my water kept touching the spot I was drinking from.

    came on a Saturday for a very late lunch to catch up with a friend and it did not disappoint!! restaurant was pretty empty when i walked in and therefore was seated and assisted immediately. my friend arrived shortly after so we got started quickly we ordered a few things to share family style and it came out fast. this place does dim sum solid but its nothing special except the scallion pancakes w beef were super unique and fun, tasted like a beef spring roll. the beef noodle soup is to die for if you like spicy. the broth is super savory with a hint of Szechuan pepper to add to being an elite flavor. def would recommend.

    Double cook pork

    Food is pretty solid. Ordered the tiny fried buns..Xiao long bao..double cooked pork..and dan dan noodles. Everything was perfect and I wanted dessert too. Was too full.

    Service was quick. I felt shuffled in and out, and it wasn't very busy. I ordered pork soup dumplings and they were great, 10/10! But they didn't have soup spoons, so my soup kept spilling onto my plate. It was messier than expected and not as satisfying because it felt more like a puzzle of trying to get the soup in my mouth. If you're desperate for soup dumplings, then go here and grt your fix. But if you can wait to go to chinatown, or a place with soup spoons, just go there.

    The place is very calming. You step in and greeted with a great playlist and nice host. We were sat fairly quickly and was able to place our order right away. We ordered steam pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings and shrimp dish. When they first came they accidentally got us two orders of soup dumplings instead of pan fried dumplings and they felt so bad the messed up they gave it to our table and went quickly to the kitchen to ordered it. Within in minutes a fresh order came out. They were so kind to be so quick about it. Over all the food tasted incredible and atmosphere was great on a rainy day.

    I dunno about cuffing season, I only know noodle soup season... (granted, I love a good noodle soup 365 days of the year, but it hits the spot 10x more in the chillier seasons...) My husband and I were in the area- chilly evening, stuffy noses... we wanted noodles! Found 3 Times in the area- early dinner time, so the restaurant wasn't crowded so we were seated immediately. We ordered the crunchy noodles with pork, spicy beef noodle soup and pork soup dumplings. The crunchy noodles came out first- deep fried noodles topped with a thick gravy of pork, veggies and mushroom! The savory gravy had a tang to it, and made me think of hot and sour soup- it was good, but wish it came with more noodles. The spicy beef noodle soup came next- this was my favorite! Noodles had a good bounce (wish they were a tiny bit chewier) but the soup- this was what made it awesome. While spicy, it wasn't overpowering and was so aromatic and flavorful. We wolfed down to the last drop. The pork soup dumplings were the last to arrive to the table (steaming takes some time!) These were just okay- the soup was a bit too thin imho, and there was too much dough, so the meat to dough ratio was a bit off. Service was good, I think it's key to come in when they're not too busy.

    Order to go for my lunch. Soup dumplings are very good. Juicy and flavorful. Shrimp Shu Mai and sticky rice Shu Mai are good. Definitely love the red bean puff as dessert. Lots tables inside. Very clean. Friendly staff. I'll come back to try other items!

    G8. Sesame Chicken

    Ordered the Sesame Chicken through delivery. Props need to be given where props are due. The chicken was fresh, flavorful & well cooked. The broccoli was crisp and fresh. Portions are generous. This needs to be said - they are doing it right!

    Four of us had dinner here on Labor Day evening. When we arrived, we were told to expect a fifteen…read moreminute wait for seating, and it was pretty much on the dot. A carafe of water was promptly brought to the table. We took a long time with the menu because it is extensive, and wonderful. We finally agreed on Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Kau Fu, Dry Sautéed Green Beans with Meat, Salt & Pepper Squid, and Shanghainese Style Rice Cakes. The Kau Fu arrived first, and was truly exceptional, with large, firm, and juicy chunks of seitan, and a good sprinkling of large, not rubbery tree ears. My friend who said she didn't like seitan tried it, and liked it a lot. Kai Fu has a slight licorish flavor, and is a little sweet. We finished every bite. Moving on to the soup dumplings, the broth was delicate and the skins were thin and tender, altogether the best I've had in a long time. The green beans were perfect, seared and crispy, as they should be, with ground pork and a little pickled veg. The rice cakes were appropriately chewy, and we enjoyed the baby bok choy, mushrooms, and shrimp in the mild sauce. The squid was the only dish that wasn't perfect, being a little bland and a tiny bit too chewy for the size of the pieces. The service was attentive without being too much. We were offered hot tea, and a second carafe of water, without having to ask. The noise level from the other diners was a bit high for me, but I put my hearing aids on the noisy/party setting, and I could hear my friends, which was the important thing. We all agreed that we needed to come back again (and again) to try other dishes. I especially want to have the Hong Kong style Hot & Sour soup, which you can't get at most Chinese restaurants.

Service is super efficient, to order food you use a tablet at the table and order drinks from the servers. The dining room is beautiful and kind of peaceful. I saw quite a few large parties so this spot seems good for groups. We started with the truffle pork soup dumplings which might be the best I've ever had. The soup was the perfect temperature and so so flavorful. I would come back just for the dumplings. The mapo tofu and sauteed green beans came next, and we ordered two sides of plain white rice which came in a generously sized bowl. Portion sizes are large here, we had plenty of leftovers. We went for more familiar dishes, which were so well done, but all the different dishes flying through the dining room looked incredible.

You can really see and taste the ginger chunks- it is definitely very ginger forward with several different pao cai chillies (very sour, pungent, and spicy!) - Che Li's Pork Belly, (3/5): I'm personally not a big fan of pork belly, but my friend loves this! I see a lot of people order this, so don't take my word for it, try it yourself! - Sautéed Water Spinach, (3/5): pretty standard, tasted fresh, not much seasoning - Spicy Hunan Beef, (4/5): a very hot dry spice that goes well with rice. The beef texture was inconsistent, which knocked down some points Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and I would come again.
