I've never been to prison, but I don't want to start practicing either. The seating is probably set up to provide extra room in the serving space. I get it. But yikes! The lighting is super dull. Not like a romantic dull, but a zombie dull. No good. Service: something about it was just off. The waitress seemed like she was a robot. So awkward. The tea they served wasn't hot even though it was brought out in a kettle..(ummmm...Huh? A bunch of question marks there!) Not a fan of the service at all. Food: it was edible.

The staff were very welcoming and informative. As the adults, we were unfamiliar with how this type of set up worked, and our cashier was very patient and ready to help us as much as they could. We all ended up loving our drinks! We got a brown sugar milk tea, a Thai green milk tea, and a passion fruit strawberry drink with passion fruit popping boba. It was all delicious! We also got some Vietnamese egg rolls that were fried fresh, hot and crispy. The inside of the shop was so cute and inviting. It had nice seating options. So if you want more privacy, or to be sat with everyone else, you easily can be. With different kind of seats too. They provided board games, that were entertaining for all of us. We really enjoyed ourselves, and when the staff saw that we wore masks, they made sure to mask before coming up to us. Which was very considerate and much appreciated. Highly recommend coming in if you're wanting to try something new, or looking for a spot that feels welcoming for everyone.

High ceilings and exposed brick are a few of the ways to my heart. If you've seen a post about this place, you've probably seen a picture of the crackly round, artistic dish and wondered what it was. There are dumplings on the underside of it and you break each one off of the crackly part to enjoy. We did enjoy these but I would've loved a soy sauce to dip them in. They came with chili crunch, peanuts, and green onions but I wanted an actual sauce. They were very standard tasting dumplings and there was nothing extraordinary about them unfortunately. As always, we'd looked at the menu beforehand and decided what we wanted. It does state on their website that their menus can change due to freshness and availability. But we'd both decided on an app and entree we wanted only to get there and have none of them on the menu. I do appreciate a rotating menu to accommodate local items, but I would also love for those to be updated on a regular basis. So after rerouting, we decided on the chicken skewers as another app with the dumplings. These were chargrilled, flavorful, and had a nice crust on them. I got shrimp fried rice and Julia got spicy beef noodles. It was fine but I wish the shrimp wouldn't have been cut up. It felt like they chopped them up in order to not put as many in the dish. At $25 for this, I'd like whole shrimp please. There were a few pieces of raw spinach with pepper on the top. I would've loved a sauce of some kind. I would've preferred shrimp hibachi with fried rice from a Japanese place that included vegetables and sauces. This was not *bad* there was just SO much room for improvement. We both agreed that nothing was awful, but for these prices and the hype, we expected more. Our waitress was super friendly. Bonus points because they had match boxes at the host stand! There was a paid parking lot diagonal from the restaurant, so we had to walk through an intersection to get there. There are some spots up front if you can snag one. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but won't be sprinting back.

Serving up tasty cuisine that's much more authentic than those sketchy Chinese takeout places, their bao and dumpling game is strong! While it's impossible to find a menu online, and their website consists of an Instagram page, this is the way the younger generation gets their information. And it works. The pork belly bao is relatively comparable to what I've eaten in China, so props to the cooks at IB! Notice I'm not calling this dish "bao buns" like everyone else which is typical language in the states. That's actually redundant as bao in Chinese already implies a filled bun, literally translated as parcel or package. And there is no need to call it a "filled bun bun." Autocorrect is already on my case about that double wording! But I digress. Yes, if you're in Auburn, grab a tasty Asian snack here and you won't be disappointed.

I'd never been here before, but had been excited to try it out! The atmosphere is similar to the other restaurants on 2nd Ave, and I love the mural in the back. I love a short menu, the menu here is the perfect length. Just one side of a sheet of paper. We tried the cauliflower to start, the flavor was amazing but the fry could have been a little bit crispier. My friend ordered the salmon plate for dinner, which I had a bit of and was INCREDIBLE. I'd definitely order that next time. I had the Mongolian beef bowl, which hit the spot, but did leave a little bit to be desired. I wasn't particularly wowed by the flavor or sear on the beef itself. Service was ok. I'll definitely come back here. The price and ambiance are right for a weeknight winter dinner out. Parking can be a little bit tricky around here. Most street parking was full and we ended up parking in a paid lot behind Neon Moon.
