    Popped by this place on a stroll around the orange circle. We just wanted a quick snack and the vegan dumplings and Cucumber salad didn't disappoint. The Cucumber salad was to die for! Super light and refreshing with a lot of flavor, yet not to overwhelming. There's something different about this Cucumber salad that I can't quite put my finger on but it's so so good. The dumplings were also super good, hot and fresh. Will be back 1000 times for the salad though!

    Crab and shrimp shumai and steamed shrimp dumpling
    Beverly P.

    I went here for dinner and ordered shrimp dumplings, shrimp and crab shu mai, a Thai iced tea, and two mango mochi. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. They initially did not bring out the mango mochi at all, so I had to ask for them. The owner brought only one, and I had to explain that I ordered two. Then the cashier came over holding the mochi in his bare hand and placed it directly onto my Styrofoam container. This was extremely unsanitary, and I had to complain about it. As for the food, it was very underwhelming. The only sauces available were soy sauce and sriracha. The steamed shrimp dumplings were bland and completely flavorless. The crab and shrimp shumai was wet, had no flavor, and honestly tasted like nothing at all. Overall, the quality of the food and the level of customer service were very poor. Considering the price, this place is a rip-off and absolutely not worth the cost. I left very disappointed and would not recommend dining here.

    A cute little dumpling place in a fun part of town? Yum! I had the spicy wontons here, admittedly close to when they were preparing to close. Still, my order was hot and delicious - and definitely hit the spot for me. The interior is small and the tables are a bit worn in, but that shouldn't scare you away. Seems like a good place for a quick lunch or a grab-and-go snack. My order only took about 8-10 minutes, not long at all. There were plenty of other folks waiting on soups and dumplings and boba milk tea, and they all seemed to get their orders in a reasonable amount of time, too. Prices are fair - dumplings aren't the cheapest when they're done right - and portions are reasonable. I will be back for the juicy XLB dumplings and black garlic fried noodles very soon!

    I've come across this area a few times and finally tried it. I went on a random weekday so parking was available in the front. I decided to try their vegan dumplings and a taro milk tea. The taro milk tea was pretty good, but it did have a salty and sweet taste. As for the vegan dumplings, they were different tasting. Not bad, but not usual. There were edaname inside of them and some type of vegan paste. The dipping sauces weren't so great. Oil inside Sriracha-like hot sauce was odd. I was hoping for more of an authentic chili sauce. Overall I would give it a 3. There isn't much else I would taste so this might be just a single time try for me.

    Small spot for a quick eat and go. Soup-in-dumpling is rich and flavorful, pork dumpling with mango habanero is crispy + addictive, and the fresh shrimp dumpling is a winner.

    Cute little spot, parking isnt the greatest but worth it for the food and the flavor at this spot been a few times. Service is good place is clean.

    Juicy XLB Dumplings (10 pcs) - all broken before they were even touched!

    I'd say the price point between Din Tai Fung and this place are pretty similar, but given the choice, I'd go to DTF. My parents and I ordered the XLB, black garlic noodles, and fried rice. The XLB were are broken and torn apart before we even got them, so we weren't even able to enjoy the juicy broth - the most important part of the XLB. The dumpling skin was super thick and doughy, which makes me wonder how the dumplings managed to tear and allow the broth to escape. The black garlic noodles weren't too exciting. The flavor was mostly garlic, of course. The fried rice was also pretty average. Not much to write home about.

    The restaurant is small but also has two tables for outdoor seating. My party ordered the boiled beef dumplings, the black garlic beef noodle, and the yuzu tea. The black garlic beef noodles were okay. It's not something I would try again as the garlic was a little too much for my liking. The boiled beef dumplings didn't taste that much different than the ones I could buy at a grocery store. Still tasted pretty good, though. The yuzu tea was great! I'd try that again. Service was good, had minimal interaction with the server. That being said, it's not an awful place to try out. It's a place I'd be willing to order something different in.

    My partner has been wanting to go to this spot since last year and we finally made it. The guy who was at the cash register greeted us as we walked inside and took our order as well. He was friendly and patient since we(mainly my partner) were looking at their menu items. We ordered their "handmade" pork dumplings and their chicken fried rice. Their "handmade" pork dumplings tasted like they were reheated food not handmade. My partner tried the sauces to if it would make them taste edible enough to eat but sadly that was not the case. It was so disappointing since my partner was planning on buying dumplings to go. 1/5 Rating for their "handmade" pork dumping. The fried rice was 2.8/5 due to its lack of seasoning and flavor. The interior was bright with all their beautiful parrot chandeliers and the rest of the lighting. It's a very spacious area, especially great for big parties. Overall, our experience with the food we had was not the best. I guess we had high expectations, especially my partner due to the high ratings on Yelp and Google. However, the customer service from the guy who greeted us and took our orders was superb. Hence, the total of three stars and not one or two. Who knows if we may ever go back to give them another try but hope you all have a better experience with the food.

    Cucumber Salad
    Jarvis J.

    #Thank You Thursday Thank you for having great food every time my wife and I come in. It is one our go to spots to get away from it all and have some dinner. The dumplings, fried rice, cucumber salad are the best. Thank you for making our mini date nights great.

    Teyung, the owner's husband, was the sweetest host and treated us to the delectable  Brown Sugar Pancakes!

    You really HAVE to try this hidden gem of a place! We tried the Pan Fried Chicken Dumplings, of course, and they were very tasty! The Spicy Wonton Soup was flavorful, the Black Garlic Fried Noodles with chicken was unique and tasty, in addition to the yummy Vegan Dumplings. What I loved about this place is that the food was very fresh and healthy, yet still incredibly tasty and creative. You can tell the owners really put their heart and soul into this place. And definitely save room for dessert! Specifically The BROWN SUGAR PANCAKE! Wow! It was the highlight of our dinner and the best ending to it! The owner, Jieun,and her lovely husband, Teyung, were the sweetest, most gracious people and treated us to this absolutely scrumptious dessert and we couldn't get enough of it! Also college students get a 10% discount-so that made my daughter very happy and excited to return!

    First time trying the food it was good but not great . The rice & noodles lacked some flavor needs more seasoning , also wish they had more side sauces to dip my food in . Portion sizes are good , but I would recommend they go down on the prices , it came to 60 something not including tip . Overall not bad , cashier was friendly as well .

    Amazing place! It's around Orange circle near a ramen place. I came here craving spicy dumplings, and I end d up also getting a drink and the pork egg rolls. Delicious is the best way to describe it. I got the spice medium and it's spicy enough for me, and I love spicy food. Service was amazing, the person at the front register explained all the items and what substitutions could and couldn't be made, and the entire time she did it with a smile. The place has a cool homely vibe, everyone was able to sit and enjoy their meal and talk. Spaced out so you can have privacy and still speak normally. Great price as well!

Looks like a converted bar with plenty of booths. Our no nonsense server warmed up to us as lunch progressed. We ordered sweet and sour and king pao chicken from the somewhat (?) lunch menu, both very inexpensive. My wife liked the hot n sour soup. My egg flower soup was a STAR! Not too thick, great flavor and nice and hot! Some large egg rolls were included. A little oily for my taste but again, Irene liked hers. You can ask for some S&S/mustard dipping sauce. A slightly different take on how they prepared the mustard. The sweet and sour was decent breaded chicken with good homemade sauce, chopped onions and peppers. No pineapple darn it. My Kung Pao could have been called Kung zucchini! That was okay as the portion was huge and I shared some. Plenty of peanuts too (I wished they had been cooked inside the wok..). More than enough fried rice (we took some home. I always ask myself would we come back? A resounding yes as I have to try their egg foo young! I admit I was disappointed that the tea is in a single serve bag instead of a pot.

Dynasty is located in a small strip mall and is next door to Daiso. This means there's plenty of parking so parking shouldn't be a problem when we got here around 5 PM. I noticed there weren't many people there. Granted, it was still early and I'm assuming you'll get a little busier as the night goes on. We were greeted and seated at a table. The people were nice and while I was surprised they didn't speak. Cantonese, the server spoke Mandarin and help us make decision on what items to order. We ended up getting the green beans, the filet mignon French style, a black bean fish fillet, and their house special fried rice. I thought the best item that we got was the fried rice. They put a decent amount of shrimp and barbecue pork and it tasted pretty good. The green beans was a tad bit on the sweeter side which I wasn't used to, but it had decent flavors. The filet mignon was a little bit on the smaller side and there wasn't a ton of pieces in there and it was the most expensive dish of the night. I probably will skip that next time. The fish fillet was actually pretty good. All in all, 3.5/5 stars is probably what I would give it. There are definitely better Chinese restaurants if you're willing to drive a little bit out. At least it's nice that this place is conveniently close to where we live.

Me and…read moremy friend are not lamb fans and was a bit hesitant on ordering the food so we did hold off on ordering for ourselves. And said we decided to share and eat off of my two brothers plate before we decided to consider coming back or eating more. There was only one worker that was working at the time, but she did a phenomenal job, considering she was holding down the fort for the restaurant by herself. She also mentioned she doesn't like lamb, but she would eat the one here herself so it gave me a pretty good first impression thus far. We ordered the lamb skewers, grilled rib, shank over rice, homemade yogurt, and Cole slaw. Lamb Skewers - 4.5/5 the portion was very generous! $15 for 3 large skewers that was about 1.25 ft length each. Was perfectly grilled and did not taste gamey at all. I believe it was Szechuan pepper that seasoned the skewers. I didn't eat enough to recognize if there was any numbing, but the bite that I took was amazing. Outside was crunchy inside was chewy enough to enjoy, but not tough. Grilled rib - 5/5 I was very pleasantly surprised at how although it was very charred and crunchy in the outside that the inside was very soft and fatty. The meat literally fell off the bone. Again, no gaminess and very pleasant to enjoy. Shank - 5/5 I would have to say that this was the hero of the evening from all the dishes we ordered. The meat was extremely soft, fatty, and literally fell off the bone as I was holding it up. It was very similar to pork flavor and extremely enjoyable for me. On a separate note, I enjoyed that so much but because I had already eaten before this dinner, I came back a separate day to have that dish for myself. The rice seems to be cooked in some type of protein broth and if I had to guess it's probably lamb broth along with carrot. It also came with size of pickled items to lighten the fatness from the meat as well as a small bowl of lamb based soup. Homemade yogurt - 4/5 had a slight tartness to it and light sweetness, but was more leaning towards the sweet side of things. I enjoyed it with the dried raisins and the granola for texture and it was a pretty good ending to the entire meal. Coleslaw - 3/5 it tasted average and didn't seem to be anything special. Though it was good to have it along with all the other protein items to lighten up each bite.
