I wasn't really impressed with this place.

I had a sizzling shrimp and scallop dish that was very tasty and my partners shared a dish they liked, so I see why people might like it But... There was no silverware on the table and I had to flag down a passing server for that and a refill of the non-coke coke I had. My overall impression was that I was supposed to be grateful for eating there and their reputation was enough to ensure that. It didn't for me.

I was so excited to bring my mom here after trying it the first time last year, however, we were…read moreboth disappointed. The dishes on the menu were vastly different from what was brought to the table (dan dan noodles especially). The short ribs were brought out ~2 minutes after we ordered, which seemed like they had a pre-made batch in the kitchen instead of being freshly made. The flavoring was not as expected, it was more of a panda-express type of flavor. The dan dan noodles did not have the fresh meat on top, but had a dried pre-made type of seasoning instead. (Menu vs dish shown in my pictures). The beef noodle soup was mid, the beef wasn't the same quality as other Chinese restaurants. The chili wontons were good! I'd recommend that dish. Overall disappointing experience and it's unfortunate, because my mom and I were looking forward to coming here for her one night in New Haven.

The meat was frozen and defrosted, the broths tasted like water, and it was pretty expensive for the quality you get. The broths looked very flavorful, but it truly tasted like water... No amount of sauce was able to save it. You also can't even make your own sauce, they come to your table with a sauce cart and make it for you... The service was meh as well. Overall very disappointing.

The menu is very limited but oh so very uniquely special, which is difficult to find in CT for a Chinese restaurant. The pork ribs clay pot was almost a spicy Chinese curry flavor which was absolutely delish. We ordered pork soup dumplings, beef dumplings and shrimp dumplings. Kids and the Mrs were not disappointed. Big kid ordered the wonton soup which was a larger bowl than expected with a lot of wontons, seaweed, egg and some veg, yumm, The braised beef brisket noodle soup with bok choy was also an absolute winner with a good spice kick. We devoured and shared everything in our typical tapas fashion and thoroughly enjoyed all the unique tastes which will keep this place firmly on my radar. Excellent job guys.
