    Cooked soup dumplings
    Luc Y.

    Great place for soup dumplings! Stoped in Columbus about a month while on a road trip and figured I'd grab soup dumplings from the top rated place in the city according to the Internet. I was not disappointed! The lady was very nice and packed the soup dumplings frozen in ice for the 2 hour drive back to Cleveland for me per my request. Great service and understanding there. They were extremely easy to cook, 3 min in the instant pot and low heat and they tasted so good! The skin was moist and soft, not sticky at all and the meat filling was juicy and flavorful.

    Everything here could be improved. Imo. First the restaurant is freezing like they didn't bother to adjust the heat to the outside weather. It was noticeably cold... instantly. The over all ambiance is not really that great. Why? Torn awning outside. The mop/bucket is out in front of the bar. A broom/standing dust pan is in front of the hostess stand. Hostess stand un manned, despite the broom combo. There are large boxes and boxes piled up along the entire back wall, stacked haphazardly in the formal dining room, giving off a super messy vibe as its in clear view. The place smells clean so thats a pro. Yelps health score rating showed a 100% from the last dept of health rating so I didn't cancel the order but I was still unsettled. You wonder what I ordered: I ordered was a shrimp/chive bun and a soup. Was expecting it 5.75 total as that is what the menu says. Found it to be over 8 dollars. Thats a big difference. When I brought that to their attention they said oh the prices are wrong on the menu. Pretty sure thats illegal to do that with pricing. That irritated me, but I just smiled and vowed never ever to return. Then when I looked at the food when I got home... the chive bun was a few tiny potstickers. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting a bun dumpling or bao shaped item. As I said I didnt eat any of it. Im seriously tossing the food. I got a bad vibe I cant get over the messy box situation. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Plus The fact that its 10-20 outside and their heat isnt turned up inside just doesnt sit well with me. Hard pass for me.

    Dim sum menu -
    Linda L.

    We stopped by Saturday morning excited for some Dim Sum. Since their Dim Sum menu was smaller, was thinking they just were their specialties. Unfortunately I seemed like all the dim sum was frozen and reheated. Was super bummed not to get more authentic goods.

    Sign the says "closed until further notice"

    This is a wonderful restaurant with all sorts of great authentic Chinese food (dumplings are their specialty, my favorite is a spicy Szechuan cauliflower dish), but, alas, a sign in the door says "closed until further notice." I have no idea whether it will reopen, but I hope it does. Soon.

    "Soup" dumplings

    Ordered soup dumplings. There was literally no soup. Not a drop. They also did not serve it with any dumpling sauce or black vinegar. Guy looked at me like I was crazy when I asked. Would not order this again here.

    I think this was the Hunan beef but I'm not 100% sure. It was delicious!

    Hidden gem!! The location isn't great, but the food makes the trip worth it! We started with the hot and sour soup and it's the best I've ever had! I got the cilantro pork and it was very tasty. My only critique was a couple bites of pork were fatty, but that can happen anywhere. Mom had the shrimp with broccoli and loved it. We will definitely be back!!

    Ordered takeout from here the other night. I thought the food was tasty and exactly what we were looking for. A little pricey but I would order from here again. Good size portions and tasty!

    First they didn't honor the yelp coupon for 6 free dragon rolls. The fish chilli was perfect. That by itself is worth 4 . However, I took a star because they didn't honor the yelp coupon. The house pad Thai was dry so I poured some of the chilli both on it and it booted it up a notched . The chicken Lo mein was moist and had good flavor. The egg roll didn't have any flavor but it was crispy. I had alot better. The fish chilli was the highlight. I would order it again it was that good. It out shined everything we ordered. The fish was boiled and the sauce was perfect. I sopped it up with bread because I didn't want to waste any of it. Would I take a friend from out of town? Yes just to get the fish.

    I've had this place bookmarked for a while but never found ourselves in downtown cbus until today…read more We saw a matinee show at the Ohio Theatre (highly recommend) and then walked over to Pat & Gracie's for a late lunch. Arrived approximately 3:30pm - restaurant basically empty (maybe 5 tables total occupied). Went to check in for 2 and the host said he had reservations at 5. Huh? So I asked do you mean you can't seat us until 5? And he said no, that we need to leave by then because other people are coming. I thought that was very weird and unprofessional. I've never had an experience like that before. It's a basic sit down place, why would you think we'd linger for more than an hour and a half? Whatever, weird feeling, but we were seated. Seated in the walkway. Not like in a path but literally blocking the walkway where you step down. Why do I say this? Because people walking by kept banging into me. Not their fault. Why is there a table there? And why were we seated there when at least 80% of the restaurant was empty???? Ok whatever. Ordered food including their signature made in-house tots. Waitress comes back and says they were slammed in the morning and they're out of tots. (Man I feel bad for the people coming at 5. LOL) whatever except the people at the next table appeared to be served tots. Food was tasteless. The Mac and cheese had a weird texture like the roux wasn't cooked properly. My patty melt was mostly bread as the patty was too small for the bread. My husband had the signature chimi burger and it completely lacked any chimichurri flavor. Like at all. We were out by 4ish (plenty of time for them to prepare for their expected onslaught) and needless to say I've unbookmarked this place from my yelp. Maybe we'll try the Mexican place across the street next time. ‍

It may not look like much, but it packs a whole lot of "great" inside of it! PROS: -Service is fantastic. The servers, despite being less than an hour from close, were super friendly, and they made me feel like I was part of everything. No clique-y vibes or disgruntled employees. Lots of joking and laughing from the staff when they weren't serving. -Food was delivered freakishly fast. We had barely got our beer when we had apps, and we had only managed to get the chili cooled enough for a few bites before entrees came out. The kitchen was really on top of things. -Really large selection of salad options. Their ranch was really delicious, but most importantly, all the salads felt like relatively "healthy" salads unlike many places that try to make them restaurant "quality" by stuffing them with cheese and other treat-y options. This could definitely be a place you could take someone who had to watch what they were eating for various reasons. -Prices were very, very reasonable, and we came away with a good meal without spending too much. -It was raining when we left, and staff was offering to walk people to their cars with their restaurant umbrella.

It just might be a few blocks walk. -As a chill night, it was okay, but I could feel this place feeling a bit crowded with tables too close together on really busy nights.

If you're anywhere near German Village, you owe to yourself to give the Old Mohawk a try. Just a couple of blocks north of Schiller Park.
