We were skeptical about this restaurant but it exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return! We came on a weekend for dinner so it was busy! We were able to snag a table and seeing how busy this place was, we knew it was going to be good! We had the pork XLB, chicken feet, pork & vegetable wontons with spicy peanut sauce, noodles with scallion and peanut butter sauce, beef lo mein and the beef ribs. Everything was delicious! The highlights of our meal were the pork XLB and the beef ribs. The pork XLB were made fresh to order and they were flavorful and juicy! Definitely on my list of best XLB I have ever had. The beef ribs were also delicious! They torched it table side which definitely added a nice touch! Considering how busy they were, the service was immaculate. They were also very attentive to details since we had a kid with allergies. We will definitely be coming back soon. This place is also right next to the Court Street train station which makes it very convenient to get to!

It gets busy on weekends, so the earlier you get there the better.

The bathroom was passable, but definitely could be better. The staff were to the point and did their jobs well. The Beijing pork chop was fried well and had great flavor. My only gripe was that there were some small end pieces. I wish we had some bigger pieces of meat. The fried tofu was done well. They put some corn starch underneath each piece of shrimp so the shrimp will stay on top. It was not always cook through, so that was unpleasant. The snow pea shots were cooked well and it was a massive portion. We also have pan fried noodles with seafood. The portions were huge and we have leftovers for the next day. With tip it was around $125, which is a great deal for this meal.

Note: This is a less detailed review than normal, as we ordered a ton of food from the AYCE menu,…read moreas can be seen from the photos Anyway, I've been back to this tasty Chinese place twice since my first review, with the second one being a very similar meal. The most recent time, I was here for their dim sum brunch, which is either $36 for AYCE plus $2 for tea, or they price each thing individually. It was a bit annoying that the tea was not included, but at least both the Oolong and Chrysanthemum teas were good quality and readily filled. Service in general was pretty fast and frequently checked on our large semi- private table to see if we needed anything else to order or more tea. The dim sum selection is a bit smaller than many of the traditional dim sum spots, but the overall quality was excellent, with a couple of definite highlights and some more unique dishes such as dumplings with pickled shrimp, crawfish, or Taizhou rice along with Ningbo wontons. In general, I would say that the wrappers were properly thin and everything was filled generously. The aforementioned Pickled Pepper Shrimp Dumplings were one of the highlights. The slightly spicy and sour pickles made it taste very light and paired nicely with the plump shrimp. In terms of other shrimp dim sum, their version of Har Gow/Crystal Shrimp Dumplings included a little bit of sweet crab for an extra touch. It was also tasty. I also liked the Ningbo wontons, filled with a variety of ingredients including minced pork, dried shrimp, yard long beans, pickled vegetables, bamboo shoots, and others. It had a wonderful mix of textures with some interesting crunchy notes. Another unique option mentioned is their Crawfish Dumplings, which are very noticeable compared to the other dumplings due to their bright red color. I appreciated the spiciness but found these a tad fishy with a thicker wrapper than most, but others loved these and ordered more. For more standard dumplings, their Xiao Long Bao/XLB were pretty good, and they had a tasty version of Sticky Rice Pork Siu Mai. The Baked Pork Buns were good as they were not too sticky sweet. Finally, there was a decent version of Pork Dumplings in Chili Oil. Non-dumpling highlights included their excellent turnip cakes along with steamed spare ribs, chicken feet, and a particularly tasty version of steamed beef tripe with satay sauce. I would skip the Beef Short Ribs With Black Pepper, which had good flavor but was way too chewy. I know someone else ordered the spring rolls, but I don't remember trying them. They also apparently now have a Ningbo speciality called Shi Bing Tong, but I don't remember ordering it. Someone else got their simple and tasty porridge/congee, only available traditionally with pork and century eggs, and enjoyed it. I tried a bit, and it was indeed good. Desserts included a tasty Crispy Durian Pastry, alright Sesame Balls, a good Pineapple Bun/Bolo Bao, and Custard Buns, which everyone loved, but they had a cuttlefish ink shine, so I couldn't try them. This is a fantastic, reasonably priced AYCE Dim Sum. Would recommend it if they still offer this deal.

This is a refreshing yet filling side to pair with the soup dumplings. I wanted something to round out my meal and this was a great choice. The edamame and tofu make it more satisfying than a typical greens salad while the mustard adds a slight bitterness. - vegetarian soup dumplings (9/10): six pieces of vegetable dumplings filled with a hot broth. This was the main reason I came here so I had to order them. The experience of popping into one and sucking out the broth takes a few tries to get the hang of it. I recommend mixing the chili oil and soy sauce because the filling on its own is just the flavor of vegetables. The dumpling skin is thin and allows the soup to be the highlight. I would recommend eating these as soon as you can so that the skin does not stick to the paper. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It was great comforting food that still felt fresh and filling

Dishes weren't particularly clean and service was alright, a little clumsy for lack of better word. Was also surprised they put the dessert XLB on top over the savory ones. Food was delicious though! Snagged two savory XLB and a sweet XLB. Michelin recommended spot so definitely hits the spot, no question there. The duo tables were a bit small and the tables are slightly close together, but overall it's spacious. Two washrooms (bathroom, restroom for search terms) available. Six Flavors XLB - love the variety pick as an option! Color wasn't a gimmick, as they actually tasted different. Gourd was the most unique, being a vegetable base. Signature and crab tasted pretty standard with other spots, but the other four were more unique. Signature XLB - a classic pork soup, rich in flavor and hearty. Taste was on point but they're pretty sizable and have lots of soup. One of our XLB had enough soup for two spoonfuls and we wanted bigger spoons but then the others were definitely less. Mochi & Sesame XLB - a dessert XLB always hits no matter how the others taste. These had a strong sesame flavor, very rich. However the mochi was a bit funky texture wise, just getting stuck in teeth. Definitely get a dessert XLB, is a good option but I'm almost positive they're all good, so no strong bias.

We were in NY for about 4 days and we went to the same dim sum resturant the entire time for dinner! The food is fresh and it's hot coming out of kitchen. I had a lot of steamed rice noodle from different dim sum places and this is the best spot so far in my life! If we come back to NY - you bet this will be the first place I come! 10/10 recommendation!

Their Pork Soup Dumplings are delicious, consistently so! I wish I had gotten some chili oil for these, but they were still great on their own. The pan fried beef buns I'm not sure if I tried before but were great as well. Came hot and had a nice char on them, however the crust to filling ratio was a little off - I'd love more filling. They didn't reheat great in the microwave. I imagine they'd reheat better on a pan or in the air fryer.

Recommend having a reservation to keep from having to sit outside or bar - I choose the bar. Food wise: The chicken dumplings were fried and seasoned to perfection. The black truffle dumpling didn't have enough truffle to really have impact.

Appreciate the good bartending service and chill atmosphere.
