    Soup dumplings were delicious
    Kat R.

    New dumpling house is pretty good. We had the soup dumplings, spicy chili oil wonton, house noodles spicy, and sesame balls. Dumplings were great with good flavor. The noodles were good but a little too spicy for me. I'm excited to try everything on their menu. Ambience is loud and busy and there is a full bar with tvs to watch the games. Service was good but a little slow as expected for a new restaurant in Ridgecrest. All in all, would recommend this place.

    Amazing food, clean and upscale decor, nice presentation, great service, skilled bartender.. This new restaurant is a must if you're visiting Ridgecrest or maybe it'll be your new weekly dinner spot.

    Vegetable noodle soup, the best!!

    It was cold out all day and I was very hungry. Went in the restaurant and it was clean and cozy…read more They had nice music playing and it was very busy. I went for dinner and it was great. The food was fresh and hot and they had shrimp at least 5 ways and I like that the fish was salmon. I tried a small bit of many things and everything was good. They gave me a pot of hot tea and that was good too. The service is very friendly and they want to make sure that you enjoy your meal. They have a salad bar and also small sushi selection which is fine as all their hot Chinese food is really good. I am not a dessert person but I tried their mango jello, real ice cream and hot apple strudel. They were all tasty. I was impressed with the quality of meat. They have orange chicken, chicken teriyaki skewers, broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, and my favorite was the BBQ pork ribs. I enjoyed my visit. Going back soon.

    $59 dollars for 3 adults for average, bland cuisine is kind of a rip off. The only thing I got out…read moreof this experience was quenching my curiosity because I thought this place was dead and closed by the looks of the exterior. Welp. It's open and there is food inside. They just don't care to make the façade look inviting. Service was depressing. Like, are you OK? Food is not horrible and I didn't get sick but there is absolutely no reason to come again.

    Excellent! Food was delicious! Their attention to customer needs can be seen their offer three…read morevarieties of soy sauce- gluten free, special blend and low sodium. Staff was very genuinely friendly, nice and efficient. Ambience is so so cute! The restaurant is shaped like a merry go round and has awesome decor. Plenty of vegetarian options. They even have resident well behaved and very beloved pit bull 'blue' in residence. He does not bother diners. And accepts petting like a gentleman. Definitely worth the visit! On our second day as we asked around about restaurants, everyone recommended about merry go round.

    My partner wanted to come here based on a write-up that mentioned the history of the building,…read morespecial soy sauce, and extremely kind staff. The staff was kind, and the building was cool, but that's where the charm ended. We walked into an obese pit bull literally sitting on a chair at the table, right next to where we got seated. There had been a sign out front saying there was a "service dog" inside with a picture of the obese pit bull in question, so I guess that's helpful but calling it a service dog really stretches credulity. I'm not sure what service the dog is providing for the owner who was not present until the end of our meal, at which point he paraded the dog around the tiny restaurant to greet customers. Another customer came in with a dog, too - apparently this tiny restaurant is teetering into becoming a dog park. I love dogs. I work with animals for a living. I am a dog owner and bring my dog everywhere I can, within reason and with the explicit permission of the businesses we visit. I do NOT appreciate a poorly-behaved pit bull, kept docile by virtue of his excessive weight, slobbering on a dining table. I do not appreciate dog dander in my food. But mostly, being in a family that used actual guide dogs - as in, dogs that were specifically bred and trained for YEARS by experienced professionals to assist their visually impaired handlers all day, completely ignore food and people that try to interact with them, and to tuck themselves quietly at their handler's feet at a restaurant, I'm put off by "service dogs" just moseying around a restaurant or sitting at a table with diners. It really does seem like this dog's main purpose is to hang out and be a restaurant mascot, which sure sounds like a health code violation. Dog dander aside, the food was basically on par with what you might order at any American-style Chinese restaurant. The orange chicken had a strong orange peel flavor, so it stood out. The rice was dry. I didn't notice anything unique about the soy sauce. The other items we ordered were unremarkable.
