Walk inside and be instantly transported into a cozy and beautiful, high-ceilinged exquisitely decorated space. Had great service and really good dumplings, which is what we came for! It was just before noon and my daughter and I had plans later so we didn't want to overeat so we ordered the fried pork dumplings and the pork soup dumplings. Perfectly fried crisp fried dumplings and enough ginger and tender juicy filling I wish I could have had more but had dinner plans after. The soup dumplings were tasty, but wished the wrapper wasn't as thick, which made it chewier-though was still good. Will be back to try the noodles and other soups and dishes!

That's the ultimate sign you've landed in the right spot for authentic Chinese food. Service: Good Quantity: Good Cleanliness: Good Price: Fair This is Northwestern Chinese cuisine at its best, think bold, spicy, fragrant flavors and hand-pulled noodles with serious chew. If you crave depth of flavor and a little kick, this place delivers. What I Ordered: * Crispy Pork w/ Salt & Pepper ($11) The perfect starter, lightly battered, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Flavorful without being greasy. * Sliced Beef Mala Pot ($27) A hearty dish packed with flavor. The mix of cauliflower, bok choy, corn, thin-sliced tofu, and cilantro makes it vibrant and comforting. It's seasoned with just the right amount of spice, enough to tingle but still approachable for most palates. * Braised Beef w/ Potatoes ($26) This one hits all the notes of classic home-style cooking. Tender beef, melt-in-your-mouth potatoes, and a sauce so rich and savory that you'll want to spoon it over rice. I come here often and have worked my way through much of the menu. The food is consistently delicious, the servers are friendly, and the atmosphere feels warm and bustling. Overall: Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic Northwestern Chinese dishes and unforgettable noodles right here on the Upper West Side.

The Noms: Ground pork basil rice- one of my default orders here... the meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned and mixed with rice and a fried egg is one of the most perfect comfort meals. Coconut sticky rice - I like to order this as a dine in order because then I can ask for more coconut cream, because they tend to be a bit skimpy with it. For deliveries, which I have done three times now... it's always very dry. In Conclusion: So after the first time my coconut sticky rice was too dry, I asked for extra coconut cream on the side for the second time but they forgot... then the third time they remembered but the packaging was so poorly done that it spilled everywhere in the bag. That time was the last straw... I can no longer order take out from them. It's awful. And when you call to give the owner feedback, he told me to return the food and he will remake it. Bruh. I'm on my lunch break at work, I've not got time for these shenanigans. When u tried to tell him I can't return the food, but please make sure to package my next order more securely... he hung up on me!! While the food is good and the restaurant clean... I will no longer order take out due to poor quality and the rudeness of the owner

Didn't know Mock Duck was a thing and curious to test it out. The "mock duck" was not so bad, but not sure had I'd be able to discern it was emulating duck flavor through the stronger curry sauce. Loved the vegetables too. Overall the dish was flavorful and glad I ordered the Extra Shrimp to make it more of a filling meal, although not sure without the deal it's as good a value. That being said, would recommend Living Thai.

You could tell that it wasn't my luck on the server or the particular chef today, it's just what they do and they do it with ease. Early for our reservation, they welcomed us with a smile. Our order was burned in our minds before we arrived. Pork dumplings, soup dumplings, steamed cha siu bao, minion buns and Tang's signature fried rice. The dough was silky and delicate, the filling savory and wholesome. High end bites with the feeling of home. What more could you ask for. From the loose leaf jasmine tea, to the whimsical minion buns, it was seamless.

Service was fairly quick, and you order via QR code on the table. Entrees range from $13-$30. Ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup and Signature Yunan Crossing Noodle Soup. The Braised Beef broth flavorful and rich, the noodles springy and chewy. The meat wasn't the most tender but still seasoned well. The Signature wasn't as good. A bit too mild. Might be good for when you've got a cold but the chicken broth tasted almost bland. I'd pass on that next time. Otherwise, a solid place to have decent Chinese food.

The curry was the most flavorful of the 3, but was watery. The drunken noodles were thicker than I'd like and flavor was light. The fried rice had very little flavor. Both dishes barely had meat.

From my perspective, neighborhood joints don't measure up to our meals on Mott Street. While this is no exception, dinner by-and-large was good, with plenty left over to take home. Deviating from my usual hot and sour, we started with coconut soup (chicken, galangal, lime, chili paste and mushrooms.) The menu is limited but has both Chinese and Thai standards. Our soup was delicious. Shrimp hofun, which our server said is like chow fun, was a let-down. Bland and lacking. We asked for chili oil and soy sauce to jazz it up. Moo shu pork however, was as good as we hoped it would be. The restaurant is pretty, the staff polite and responsive. We'll return to explore the menu, particularly their lunch specials.
