As usual, i stumbled upon a Tiktok video of a young gentleman who got the crispy beef and salt & pepper shrimp! OMG... I just had to try the shrimp. They didn't have shells so I thought, perfect. Even better. I can pop them in my mouth easily lol. We arrived close to noon on a Saturday. Appeared busy with to go orders being prepped and customers eating but the workers were attentive any way with seating us. There is even outdoor seating, perfect if you want to bring your furbaby. We also were given a small bowl of wonton chips on the house to start. That was nice :) Service was definitely 5/5 for me. The young worker with the glasses was very nice and was quick with everything. I loved that she had the customer's best interest. Without her, we wouldn't have known that we can do the lunch special (I assumed because it was a Saturday, that we couldn't), or that an item not listed on the lunch special menu was included, or that we can sub an additional eggroll for the soup. As if her customer service wasn't already top tier, the girl is fluent in Spanish! We were shocked, but honestly, great to know for those who only speak Spanish, she's got you :) I also wanted to mention that there was somebody's kid hanging out but I thought it was the sweetest thing how he would grab candy from the front and gave them to customers when they were seated. There menu is big! Lots to choose from. We just ordered off their lunch special menu. I actually do not know the time frame for the lunch menu but we came on a Saturday. It was nice that they offered their lunch menu on the weekend. Currently, their lunch special is priced at $14.95. Comes with your choice of Egg Flower Soup or Hot & Sour Soup, Steamed rice or Fried Rice, and an egg roll. However, if you do not want soup, ask for an extra egg roll :) We tried both soups, both were good. Even topped off the soups with the wonton chips they give you. Anyways our order was: Orange Chicken, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and Crispy Beef for the lunch special. Crispy Beef was NOT listed on the lunch special menu however, since I was just going to order an entree of it, the nice waitress asked if we would like it as a the lunch special. Yes, since you cannot beat the price for the amount of food you get. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I will say, though the S&P shrimp is delicious, it leans more on the saltier side. But, your girl will order this over and over as long as I have a good amount of water. I love the flavor regardless, and it is crispy. The crispy beef was crispy and delicious too; great flavor on it. The orange chicken, was exactly how it should be. Order it if that is your go to Chinese food order. Eggrolls were just veggie rolls but honestly, not bad. Perfect veggie rolls actually. I would order these items again. Bottom line, this is now my favorite Chinese restaurant. Lunch Special is the way to go, amazing price. Amazing food. I will be back and I want to try more items off the menu!

There is very little signage and decore outside, so I wasn't sure they were open. The interior is elegant and spacious, and the wait staff is friendly and attentive without getting annoying. And the food! Oh my goodness, I haven't had such wonderful Chinese food in decades, and I've eaten my fair share. I will caution you, though - the portions are enormous! My husband and I were on date night alone, and each ordered our own entree...and the leftovers lasted us two more meals! It was really just an overall surprise, and we will be back several times, and we'll be bringing family and friends so that we can try many more entrees and share. I'm so excited to find this restaurant less than two miles from home.

Won ton strips were crunchy and had a delicious fresh fried flavor. Wor wonton soup had bbq pork, shrimp and chicken along with snow peas, napa cabbage, and carrots.  Bbq pork was tender and had a 5 spice powder based flavor.  Shrimp had a nice snap and light shrimp flavor.  Chicken was tender, dry, and did not have much flavor.  Won tons had a pork filling and had a nice white pepper flavor.  Pretty good dish which made for a good size lunch. Fried chicken wings had really crunchy batter.  I was a bit worried seeing a few blackened spots.  Wings were a bit dry.  Flavor was good with lots of salty flavor from the batter and a little bit of sweetness. Bbq pork lo mein had lots of bbq pork.  Bbq pork had a tasty 5 spice powder flavor.  The pieces were sliced thin and well done.  I liked the soy sauce they used to season this dish.  Noodles had a nice mild flavor that reminded me of Qoun Yick Chinese style dry noodles my mom bought.  Pretty good dish. The owner was very nice.  Service was fast and friendly.

They also let us know the karma lounge which is like the sister establishment next door is available if we wanted servers to take orders with same menu options. Food 4/5 -Dynamite shrimp roll, California roll topped with fried prawn covered in spicy mayo and eel sauce. Very impressed by the huge prawns and overall roll size, good quality sushi. -House shrimp fried rice, rice had a good level of oily sheen to it, savory and fragrant but not overly salty. Shrimp was bouncy and fresh but not particularly seasoned. Overall, a good fried rice that makes me want to keep eating it. -Beef chow fun, my least favorite of the three but it's decent. Green pepper is not usually added in this dish and I think it made the dish less harmonious. Noodles were on the oily side and not so much of the flame/wok flavor that should be in this dish. Beef is tender and good though. Ambiance 5/5 -Nice, modern and Asian inspired decor. Comfortable seating and overall calm ambiance, good dining space.

Are they going…read moreto compare to other dumpling spots in LA or SF - prob not, but their service and some key dishes are great. Partner and I ordered 4 dishes total. Beef Noodle Soup (4/5) - the Soup and Beef were Meh, I've had better, but the noodles were fresh which was nice. Pork Soup Dumpling (4/5) - decent soup dumplings, the soup flavor was good, but wish there was more soup within each dumpling. But overall flavor was succulent. Chongqing Chicken (4/5) - def not a specialty, but tasty. I've def had better where the chicken was a bit more crispy and Wonton in Spicy Soup (5/5) - this was the standout dish, the spicy soup sauce was phenomenal and perfectly complemented the wontons. I'd def come back for this dish alone. Bonus - Chocolate Dumplings (5/5) - provided this as a free dessert, which TBH should be on the menu (if it isn't already), the chocolate flavor was so delicious and had the nice pork soup dumpling type skin. Service was very attentive as well - def better than your typical 'chinese' style service of quick/brusque servie - for sure. They repeatedly checked water/tea refills. Overall 4.5/5

You can order your food from a tablet at your table. They offer many delicious Chinese dishes, my favorite of which are the pork wontons in chili oil and the xiao long bao (soup dumplings). Their pig shaped custard buns are also quite cute and fun for dessert! The menu is similar to that of Din Tai Fung, but at a much cheaper price, and their food quality is top tier. Would definitely recommend checking it out!
