    Huge space!
    Francisco S.

    We heard this was on the best oof 2024 so we stopped by to try it. This is an unassuming place with plenty of room inside. Every time we pass by it, we see a full parking lot. So we entered through the red doors and the service was prompt. However, the food was bland. We ordered the potstickers, the kung pao chicken, and the beef pepper steak. The potstickers had a good number of 10 pieces and the crust was crunchy. But they were unfortunately bland as well. It may have been an off day for this place, but without the chilli paste and lots of soy sauce, we just couldn't get much flavor from the food.

    I have been coming here for like 30 years. My family go to spot for takeout. I took my kids today while in town and they loved it. Delicious Food and Service. The meal portions are generous and even had left overs. Everything came out fresh and tasteful. The egg rolls are superb as always!

    Food was super good! Only felt rushed when sat down and had to change some stuff up because of misunderstandings, other than that the egg rolls were okay the rest was awesome. Waitress made me feel rushed

    My supervisor recommended this restaurant for lunch and he was on point. I ordered the Orange Flavor chicken with fried rice, Egg drop soup, and chicken wangz. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was awesome, and the food was great. The Orange flavor chicken sauce was sweet and a little tangy which was perfect. The chicken wangz cooked perfectly, it was crispy and seasoned with love. Egg drop soup was slamming, I recommend it. The Egg Rolls were crispy, and had a good amount of filling. All together this may be a hidden gem in the 505, I will definitely be returning.

    It's ok but not great I think of the accuracy of the orders would be better and the food less watery it would be good

    If you like noodles and dumplings and everything Chinese, then you will enjoy this establishment…read more The dumplings are flavorful and tender, with not too much wrapper encasing the tender morsel inside it. Carefully not too break the membrane for fear of losing it juices. Service is responsive and not rushed. Atmosphere is casual and pleasant. If you're in ABQ, and you want to try another side of Chinese cuisine, try this restaurant. Enjoy.

    This is a little spot off to the side of the mall, every time we've been here in the mid afternoon…read moreon a weekend, parking hasn't been bad. Even though its a small parking lot in a strip plaza. Fresh hand pulled noodles are good, which were a little soft for my personal preference, but still good. It may sound strange but things with pork will taste porky. My girlfriend doesn't like pork, but can eat it, but she ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings and it was too porky for her. For me, it tasted just right because this is the flavors I grew up with. The dumpling dough had a nice texture that I prefer. My Ramen had a big fatty pieces of pork which is what I like. They didnt skimp. It was a good bowl of noodle soup. Wouldn't say its the best ramen I ever had, but it was good. Beef roll was good, I would say its one of the better ones I've seen in ABQ where its really filled with beef. Would recommend this. We also got soup dumplings and I will say that we didnt get the proper spoons for them. At first I thought they just didnt offer them, but looking at photos, we never got them. It makes a difference for your eating experience and enjoyment. We will definitely be back as this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area and you really get some real Chinese variety and not your basic generic stereotypical menu.

    What a cool experience…read more The food came out fresh, hot and delicious which is a great combination. I believe this to be a great find of a restaurant especially since I normally only eat New Mexican cuisine when visiting ABQ. Be patient as the food is made once ordered so don't be in a hurry.

    Still a solid place to get dim sum! Ofc nothing beats the Bay Area but this is a decent spot. We…read moreorder: pork spareribs in black bean sauce 4/5: the flavor was good but the pork had little slivers of bone. must be the way it was cut so be careful! beef rolled noodles 2/5: maybe it was just me but i prefer the meat to be ground up beef (not hamburger) but this beef was weirdly chopped or cooked. didn't really like it. chinese donut rolled noodle 5/5: this was done well. not bad with the plum sauce but a peanut butter sauce would be so much better! soy sauce noodles 4/5: ordered this for our cutie patootie grandson. he loves the noodles! simple chinese noodle dish done well with good balance of salty sweet. beef chow fun dry 3/5: the noodles tasted a little old today but the flavor was good. had a nice "wok hay" but again too bad the noodles didn't seem fresh today. lotus wrapped sticky rice 2/5: the sticky rice was good but the wrapper had a funny smell so we sent it back. The wait staff was nice to give us another one cuz we sent it back, but it came back again with the same smell so we were worried but it tasted fine and we didn't get sick hahahaha. Wouldn't order it again tho because of the smell. steam chicken feet 5/5: nicely steamed with a spicy kick. steamed egg yolk bun 4/5: this is the main reason we come here! love the topping on the bun and the flavors of the steamed egg yolk. Normally it's a bit runnier which would make it a 5 but it was a bit oversteamed today. IT Dim Sum is a great choice if you're craving dim sum in the ABQ area. Haven't found another spot to beat it yet so it's our go to spot when we're in town!

We would get Dim Sum in Flushing, NY and I have nothing but great memories from it. So! When I found out this spot brings out the carts for Dim Sum - I ran over! We went for Saturday brunch and it was empty. I ordered for the table. The chicken feet really stood out to me and were delicious. I will say...they advertise it is homemade...but I'm not too sure. The soup dumplings definitely had a precooked frozen packaged texture / flavor - similar the ones you can get from the grocery store. BUT! Overall: we had a fantastic experience. The family was very friendly. I think they were surprised how much I ordered. I was excited and happy. And yes, we finished it all lol If you've never had Dim Sum then you MUST come here for the experience alone. They bring out the carts and you pick what you'd like. This is a great way to spend BRUNCH with a large group. Forget the American brunch and try the Chinese one! It's a new experience and will be fun.
