You know an Asian place is legit when you see a bunch of Asian families there. Luckily, the tables turn over quick. Menu is large and the prices are very reasonable. My vegetable dumplings were very large and the portion of my rice cake with vegetables also was large. I still ate everything. The great thing about authentic Chinese food is that they don't abuse the salt and sugar to cater to American palates. My noodles despite the heavy sauce was not greasy. About the only quibble is that I'm not a fan of the ginger sauce which is black vinegar and ginger. Traditional yes. Just don't appreciate the taste compared to a soy sauce mix.

The soup dumplings are a MUST-order, and this time we ordered a few different things to share. Highly recommend the beef tomato egg rice- so tender and so well-cooked, the fried oysters were delicately fried and savory and fresh, and the enoki tofu cucumber salad was delightful and well-balanced, pairs really well wit the fried oysters. The staff are always extremely fast and responsive despite all the busyness.

The staff was also outstanding, coming to clarify my order with me and checking for any allergies. The girls at the front check in desk were also very friendly and helped me sign up for the wait list. HOWEVER, in the midst of my dinner I witnessed something very disturbing. While I was eating my dinner, I heard some yelling going on and noticed a scene in front of me. The manager/owner was loudly berating his staff members in the dining area and threw his phone at the front desk counter. I think that is extremely unprofessional to do in front of staff and customers. If you have to have a serious conversation with your staff you should not be doing that in front of dining customers. That left a bad impression in me and I don't think I'll be coming back.

It's kind of like hotpot in terms of flavor profile and customization but made in the kitchen. In that way, it's like a hot pot experience but more low-key and cheaper. In terms of quality, I absolutely love mala flavor--sichuan food is some of my favorite in the world--so I have tried my fair share, and this place is quite good. The portions are large and reasonably priced. Honestly, you could probably split a soup if you aren't a big eater. They're also BYOB which is nice. I would definitely come back here in the future.

The Sauerkraut soup was flavorful, slightly tangy and has a good kick. It pairs very well with the fish slices and the supplementing ingredients. Noodles are cooked perfectly; bouncy and fresh.

Depending on how big your party is, you can order a combo for 2,3,4+ people, and the portion is generous! You can then pick how many toppings you want in your broth, and what sides you want. There are 3 broths to choose from, with 2 spicy, and 1 tomato (non spicy). The toppings can include vegetables like bok choy or enoki, all the way to glass noodles and spam. My favorite sides are the fried pork belly, and fried chicken wings. They do their fried foods well, and the 5 spice dipping powder is sooo good with it. Their cucumber salad, and the black noodles are cold dishes that are light and refreshing. The noodles are a bit on the sour side, so it's great to pair if you get a spicier or oilier soup. You can also pick from fish, beef or a combo. I'm from a seafood family, but surprisingly we pick beef most times. It's soo tender and it soaks up the flavors very well. It's worth a visit! You should definitely come try :)

We decided on the small pot with beef and 2 sides special. For a combo that fed 2 people with leftovers to spare it was a good deal. The small pot is quite large. We got to choose some premium ingredients such as king oyster mushrooms and wide starch noodles. The deal came with a choice of 2 sides so we got fried pork belly and takoyaki. Both arrived pretty fresh and piping hot, not stale. The main course of the small pot we chose with mild spicy flavor. It had a good numbing spicy kick though it a hint of the greasy taste that turns me off a little bit with these types of dishes. It wasn't overwhelmingly greasy, thankfully. There was a generous amount of beef and mushrooms as well as noodles. Overall a great meal at a good price.

While the food was still pretty good, my wife, son and I had ordered: - The soup dumplings - Pork and spicy pork regular dumplings - Some of the cooked buns - Cucumbers Our friends had ordered something similar and they seemed to enjoy it as well. One thing that I was not really thrilled about is the lack of plates at the establishment. We did ask for some extra containers since they didn't have plates, but you can really get a feel that this place has shifted the experience from being dine-in to more takeout-based. All of the containers and plates are these paper plates that do tend to leak with enough time. As the bok choy we ordered had a soy-based sauce it was prepared with and that started leaking out of the paper container. All in all, still a good dumpling spot and the service was okay. The staff was friendly, but really the only thing they're doing is bringing you the food to the table. They don't check on you and you order from a kiosk now. So the overall dining experience in my opinion has gone down overall. If you're ordering takeout, I'm sure none of this applies will your food will be good, but just the dine-in experience is not what it used to be.
