    Delicious food! Little pricey but worth it. Very authentic dumpling spot. Great service and they're recommended an appropriate amount of food for everyone. It's a little hole in the wall and has a transparent window to watch them make the dumplings from scratch which is always fun. I'd go right when it opens so you don't have to wait bc there's only a few tables Crab XLB 8.8/10 XLB 7.5/10 Truffle angus fried rice 8.5/10 Spicy truffle angus fried rice 8.8/10 Cucumber salad 7/10 Har Gao 6/10 String beans 7.5/10 Matcha XLB 6/10 Pot stickers 7/10 I'd go back to try the other things on the menu. Things I'd order again forsure are the fried rice and green beans

    One word, Delicious! Every-time! Love this place I could dine here everyday. Always fresh, consistent, and tasty. The seating is a little awkward hopefully they will upgrade the seating arrangement or to a bigger building. Other wise was amazing and is one of my favorite restaurants. The prices are more than fair. The servers are always attentive and friendly. I like that the dumplings are made fresh! Such an amazing gem!

    I've been looking forward to trying this spot for a long time and wasn't disappointed. The food was phenomenal, especially the matcha dumplings and soup dumplings. There is something for everyone here. My husband got the beef noodle soup and the peanuts were a nice added touch. This is definitely a must try in Roseville!

    Oh can't believe I waited so long to post a review . We have been here now many times and the food is always fresh , well made and very delicious. I love their version of the cold cucumbers, and their beef noodle soup is one of my favorites, along with the juicy pan fried dumplings! When they first opened a while back the wait would be crazy on any given day . They are still pretty busy but the wait is no longer too bad and makes this a regular spot for us . This Uncle will become your favorite , I'm sure :)

    Second time we have been here and it did not disappoint again! Put our name in on the wait list on our way and we didn't wait more than 5 min once we arrived. The staff were super friendly and attentive. And once we ordered the food came so quick. We had a variety starting with cucumbers and green beans. We had two orders of pork soup dumplings and one order of spicy soup dumplings. An order of chicken dumplings and an order of pork chow mein. Alllll was delicious and I highly recommend!

    Came here on a Friday evening. They use yelp waitlist which is convenient. We had about a 15min wait. This place is located in a little strip of restaurants across the parking lot from some business buildings with plenty of parking. We ordered the xiao long bao pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings, garlic noodles with beef, scallion pancakes and green beans. The food came out very quickly. The soup dumplings were seasoned well with a good amount of soup. The skins were a nice texture. The pan fried dumplings also had a good amount of soup though I would have preferred a bit less breading. The garlic noodles were garlicky and parmesany. The scallion pancakes were flaky with a good crisp. Finally the green beans were nicely flavored with a crisp. Portions were also good sized. Their chili oil was quite mild but tasty. The service was friendly, quick, and efficient. The space though compact was nice and clean. Given the opportunity we'd come again! Thanks for the enjoyable dinner!

    4/12/26 Back again....with the family to order the usual on a chilly day! Must try new Matcha XLB! Soo good! New fave over usual chocolate XLB! Table favorite! Nothing to add that hasn't been already shared on previous reviews. Service, wait, decor was all as expected :)

    Sue H.

    Loved this place! We shared a bunch of dishes, and every single one was delicious. The food arrived quickly, and the staff was friendly. We ate it all so fast I didn't even get many photos. I'll definitely be back for more dumplings!

    Manuel B.

    I had a great experience here. The food was so good. I got to try out the fried rice, and they definitely accommodated my request of not wanting shrimp. The ambiance was really nice and looked very traditional. The service was amazing the servers were really nice and informative. Definitely would come again.

    We made a reservation for 5 on a Tuesday night but it wasn't really needed as the restaurant wasn't busy and we were seated right away. We ordered a PLETHORA of food but let me tell you, as quickly as we ordered, the food came out just as fast. Everything we ordered just hit, honestly no notes. Some of our favorites from the night were the Scallion Pancake (light and crispy, one of the best I've had), Salt & Pepper Fried Squid and the Stir-fry Green Beans. Random side caveat, we also had the Truffle Angus Beef Fried Rice, which was delicious. However, I don't think I'd recommend getting it for just 1-2 persons as it's quite rich. For reference, we got the regular variety so it might be different with the spicy version of this dish. Overall, the service was great and we will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

    The restaurant is a bit small and narrow. There is a big window into the kitchen which allows customers to observe how their food is prepared. Pork Soup Dumplings 10/10 It was flavorful and provided with dipping sauce as well that compared great. Will definitely order it again. Comes with 8 dumplings. Pork Potstickers 9/10 It had a great crisp on the potstickers. Also came with a dipping sauce that compared well. Would've wished for more as they are smaller in size than other places or lower the cost but either way, amazing plate!

    If I could eat here everyday I would. Soup dumplings are bomb and come out quick. The string beans are my favorite- I eat an entire plate each time we come. Service is always quick and the place is usually busy but never gets too loud.

It's a delightful choice with variety of dim sum to choose from. We ordered: Veggie eggrolls Shrimp rice rolls Har gow Beancurd skin rolls Chinese broccoli with garlic sauce Sesame balls Salt and pepper tofu Fried shrimp balls We thought that we might have ordered too much but it turned out it's just the right amount because all the dishes were nicely done and we didn't want to leave anything not eaten. The bean curd rolls were packed with vegetables and meat. We enjoyed the shrimp dishes because the shrimps were very fresh. The salt and pepper tofu was a surprised hit. We just kept on eating it. The fried dishes were our favorites because they were not oily. Chinese broccoli was decent. The foods were good and the restaurant was simply decorated, but it's good for a dim sum place (touch the hearts).

The shumai was cooked to order, so it took a little time, but it was absolutely worth the wait -- amazing. The bean curd rolls were packed with vegetables and had a really fresh, delicate wrapper. The beef rice rolls were also excellent, with plenty of beef and a fresh wrapper that wasn't soggy or tough at all -- you could tell it was made fresh. The egg drop soup really hit the spot, and the combination fried rice was fantastic too. The space itself is pretty unassuming, but the food was fresh and delicious, and the ladies working there were incredibly kind and welcoming. They were also very accommodating to my two toddler sons, which we really appreciated. They left such a positive impression on our whole family and honestly made us feel even better about the town as a whole. So glad we happened to stop here. We'll definitely be back!

We could order from the regular menu or their lunch menu. Most of the ladies and one gentleman chose the regular menu but I liked what the lunch menu offered. Soup does not come with the entrees.

I was very disappointed in the amount of chicken in their chicken salad as it was very fine shreds mixed in, probably less than a tablespoon if I had to guess. Mostly lettuce and veggies. The soup was good and our server was attentive. My husband ordered Korean barbequed pork over a large bed of thick noodles. In fact, there were much more noodles than meat which was very disappointing, for the price. This place is very upscale, even giving diners large handled paper bags with their restaurant logo printed on them to take home their leftovers or to-go orders. For the uppity price, I'd rather spend our money on better quality, larger amount of ingredients in dishes and more value for our bucks.

The menu also has wonton soup, noodles, soup dumplings, fried spring rolls, crab rangoons, cucumber salad (Asian style), Chinese egg custards, bbq pork buns, sesame red bean paste fried balls,, stir fry veggies, taro steamed buns, and some other items. I've tried the dumplings boiled, steamed, and pan fried. The boiled ones are slippery and best when I'm in the mood to have them swirled in a sauce like hot chili oil. Streamed ones have a slight chew to the dumpling exterior than the boiled or fried dumplings.But doesn't take away from the taste. Pan fried is good when you want a crispier exterior and slight crunch. Whatever way you order 'em... it's all good! The egg custards, sesame balls, and crab rangoons are classic and my other go tos. I enjoy the diversity of the menu. Gotta confess, in Folsom there is not a lot of these good authentic dumpling places. Plus throw in some dim sum items...score! Is it Michelin star, no.
