it's been too long so I last numbed all my tastebuds with spice at a place like this…read more - walking up to the an unassuming outside in an area not entirely known for this cuisine, I was interested why the reviewers were so good - the restaurant is deceivingly large as its thin but goes deep in the back. we started with their banger of a happy hour and got $9 spritzes & jasmine lychee martinis. the martini tasted like a sweet tea turned boldly alcoholic. very fun. I next just got a regular lychee martini, which was much less sweet & a perfect drink #2 - we started with the pork dumplings which had such a complex sauce. it looked like a basic chili oil but there was a tangy vinegar and a sweet aftertaste that balanced out the numbing spice. the dough was so chewy & thick, I loved. - the cold eggplant was very garlic forward & naturally ofc coated in spice. it's a large serving of the same vegetable but we ate every piece - we split the tofu & fish entree. this was insane, the same base and consistency as mapo tofu. incredibly rich and flavorful with light large chunks of silken tofu & battered fried soft fish. the fish absorbed so much of the sauce, which honestly I was eating by the spoonful.

The three pepper fried tofu was also delicious, I enjoyed the variety of texture in this dish and how well seasoned it is. I did try some of the chicken and it did taste a bit gamey so that would be my only note. Overall food was great and service was attentive.

Amazingly they refused to do anything, $60order, nothing, wouldn't move it to Manhattan wouldn't give a refund or even a discount, not even an apology. This has never happened,,,,what is customer worth in a 10 year period, what is their recommendation worth. I can honestly say that the manager who decided to F us should be fired immediately. He has cost their new outpost well over a thousand dollars in the next few years, and of course I will tell all my neighbors and anyone else. In a town of so many good or even great restaurants,,,,don't waste your time. Customer service is everything, and they don't believe in that basic truth. Avoid them, they do not deserve your business, you can get Chinese food everywhere and get treated with a lot more friendliness and respect. Never been treated like that before,,,,unbelievable.

But it was soo tasty & worth it. It was also busy, & I thought the service was attentive. Our waiter was sometimes the bartender, the bartender was sometimes our waiter and those that served food acted as our waiter from time to time. I came with a group of 6 and they even did separate checks! Highly recommend! Need to come back for their HH. They looked great.

Staff was very attentive, but we were seated at this isolated table at the front of the restaurant where the waiters can't really access things like dishes to be cleared or water refills without awkward passing back and forth. There's also a round window right there - makes for a distracting fishbowl feel with people passing by on the street peeking in. Then, the food...it was ok. We ordered 10 things, at least, but here we are just a few weeks later and I cant remember a single one of them as a standout.

We had a lovely birthday dinner here. The Szechuan fried noodles, and the stir-fried cabbage were…read moremy favorite, but everything was so good. The mapo tofu, green beans, twice cooked pork, and spicy (lazi) chicken were very flavorful. I thought the mala levels were just right, but it may be on a bit on the lighter side compared to authentic. The lamb spine came in a delicious broth, but it was a bit hard eating the lamb from the bone for not a lot of meat. The house steamed fish was also amazing. They don't take online reservations for groups over 5, so we called to make one for our group of 6. It was pretty busy Friday night, so would recommend. The service was great; they drew the cutest card when they found out it was my brother's birthday and let us bring a cake. And they also offered hair ties to the people with long hair. You order through an iPad which has a beautiful menu.

This place is known for their grilled fish dishes, where you pick the type of fish, the flavor and then your add-ons. It is served in a huge tray with burners on the bottom to keep it hot during your meal. We tried the spicy tofu flavor, which was excellent, but they also offer non-spicy flavors. Add-ons include various veggies, mushrooms, and noodles. All of the food was very fresh and flavorful, and we were very happy with the quality. Service: Service was phenomenal. The staff was so attentive and friendly. We brought a cake to cut at the restaurant and the staff were very helpful in getting everything set up and the table cleared before we brought the cake out. Ambiance: The restaurant is not that big, but they can definitely accommodate large and small groups. Seating is spacious and comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

So blessed to have a friend in Williamsburg. When visiting we stay at his place for a few of the…read morenights and there's something about Williamsburg that makes us stay when we have plans elsewhere. We wanted to go to a dumpling place in Chinatown, but we're running late and decided to cancel. This place looked good while we were walking around...and I'm so glad we were late because it was absolutely excellent We ordered: Crab soup buns: 7/10 standard Spicy cumin lamb: 100/10 may have been the best I ever had in my life????!! Curiously tasty chicken: 9/10 we didn't realize this was also cumin. It was super tender and juicy, but the flavor was too similar to the cumin lamb. So if you're choosing between both, go for the lamb As a table of 2 this was way more than enough food with leftovers. Perfect place to get shareable with friends for a quick bite without any reservations even on a weekend, with the flexibility of a communal table too.

The service was a little funny to pin down but still top tier. Everyone was willing to help. I loved the Wong Kar-Wai inspired cocktails, "2046" and "Fallen Angels". So cute! But it this heat and possible spice, I really just wanted a chill, Sapporo to cool off. And they sell it by the pitcher. Sign me up. We did the cold noodles. the shrimp dumplings, the scallion pancakes, the veggie fried rice and the snow pea shoots. Everything was perfection. I enjoyed every bite. We could not get enough. My boyfriend was especially blown by the snow pea shoots. I wanted more noodles. I did not feel heavy after all the fool. It did not taste greasy. I can not wait to go back. I had the best experience.

The food is why we are all here and this place did not miss! We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation and it was a Sunday night. We were told the specials for the night with great detail, we snagged one of the last soup dumplings and they are incredible. The only other place I've had soup dumplings as good is in flushing - that's high praise from this queens girl. Next up we ordered the scallion pancakes - which ruined all other scallion pancakes for me. They were ultra crispy and flaky. The dipping sauce was deeply flavorful and the portion was perfect. We also ordered the chicken wantons that came in a chili crisp oil and peanut sauce, delicious. The pork noodles were the secret star because the description was pretty straight forward. But my partner is a chef and insisted we get them. They were some of the best noodles I've ever had. Definitely made in house and they were coated in a flavorful sauce. The crispy garlic chicken was so good that I had to take it to go because we were stuffed, still amazing the next day. The bartender with the cool tattoos that gave me extra coconut candies, you are truly amazing and really made us feel well taken care of. Can't wait to come back and try mo
