Honestly, I did not expect to find food like this in Springfield. I came here for work my travel…read morejob. This is my third time in Missouri. The first time I visited St. Louis, I had amazing Chinese food,but I still wasn't expecting this level here in Springfield. I've actually walked past Corner 21 multiple times and kept going to the restaurant across the street... yeah, big mistake. The food here is legit Northeastern Chinese cuisine, super authentic, not watered down, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was spot on, and the dishes came out pretty quickly too. For context, I grew up in Asia and have lived in California for 25 years, so I'm pretty selective when it comes to Chinese food. This place easily holds up even compared to spots in LA. Service was great. Our server, Allen (天宇), was friendly, attentive, and just easy to talk to. It felt welcoming without being over the top, which I really appreciated. The space itself is clean, nicely set up, and has a comfortable vibe. And I have to say the milk tea was ridiculously good. I've been drinking boba since I was a kid, and this one really stood out. Even my coworkers (who aren't Asian) loved everything, which says a lot. Didn't expect to find something this authentic in the Midwest, but here we are. Definitely coming back.

This is my 3rd visit and it's by far the most authentic Chinese cuisine in 417Land. I enjoyed the…read morespicy fish on this visit, but I really wish the fish had some actual heat to it (in the breading), and not just relying on the heat from the sliced dried chilies, which are abundant, but hard to chew. The cumin lamb is always a hit as well as the duck. I visit Springfield often and look forward to working my way through this menu. It reminds me of the Chinese food I can find along Olive Boulevard in an hour version of Chinatown in St. Louis. My family that is migrated to Springfield from St. Louis are super happy with this restaurant and apparently everyone else in Springfield is too because the place is always jampacked. Congratulations to them! They moved from their original location on Sunshine and are thriving here on Republic in the shiny new location (formerly the failed Sugarfire franchise, ironically from STL).

The bake goods were excellent and some items aren't easily found in other Asian bakeries, such as cassava cake, and coconut rolled bread is unique. I ordered a matcha latte and bbq pork bun. The bbq pork bun was soft and flavorful, would order again. Matcha quality was ok. Staff was friendly and place was clean.

There is a wide selection of desserts that are all made by the cafe owner! We had the cheesecake, egg tart, and matcha tiramisu and they were all so rich and flavourful! We also got two drinks.

Wow. The dango was really fresh, soft, and delicious. My favorite was the black sesame bao, gotta be careful ripping it open, the black sesame filling will pop out and if you're not careful, you might lose some! Red bean taiyaki is our standard and it was made perfectly. Everything came out in the most adorable take out boxes. I hardly ever see cherry blossom flavor tea so I had to get it and it did not disappoint. I saw there was a Sakura milk tea, and I aim to get that the next time we are passing through town. I also want to get the pork steam bao next time! Whatever y'all are doin' at Lucky Cat Boba, keep doin it! We love it and I know everyone else must be loving it too.

We have been customers for over 7 years now and have never had a bad visit.

Also you have to visit the sauce bar to make your own sauce!! That was so delicious. The house sauce is amazing and a must!!! At the end you also get a little complementary ice cream! It's a decent size too! The staff is so nice too, we accidentally arrived way too close to closing and didn't realize it but they still served us and let us stay after. So nice!!!
