The food here genuinely surprised me because everything came out super fresh and hot. We ordered a BUNCH of dishes that I lost track of taking pictures, but a few really stood out. The steamed spare ribs were hot, tender, and flavorful; the taro pieces mixed in were great too. The chicken feet were cut in half for convenience and the taste and texture were spot on. The hargow surprised me with filling that was mostly shrimp which is sometimes too much to ask for sadly. My favorite might've been the honeycomb tripe (not the one in the stew). It came out steaming and had that ideal bounce without being chewy, I'm pretty sure I cleaned more than half of it. Overall, the freshness and heat of every dish made a huge difference. The restaurant had a great vibe and service was good although they accidentally charged us an extra order of chicken feet (which was resolved when we pointed it out). Definitely worth checking out if you're craving dim sum in the city.

I also tried the pork soup dumplings, which took some time to cook. It arrives very hot, so give it some time to cool off, maybe 5-10 minutes.

Baked Pork Pastry was a little meh, it was extremely rich and ours was in that awkward in-between temperature. - Chive dumplings are pretty shrimp-forward, good, but shrimp-forward. - If there's something you want and it doesn't make its way to you, ask!

The crispy branzino was better than the duck. 10/10 would recommend. It tasted like a sweet and sour sauce. That one we finished all of it and there was barely any bones. We ended up packing half the duck because it was too much food for 3 people. Skin definitely could have been crispy but it was pretty meaty.
