The staff answered my questions quickly and took my order. I had the Chinese broccoli, soup dumpling and salt and pepper squid. The Chinese Broccoli wasn't good at all. Very bland and I didn't really like the oyster sauce. The soup dumplings were good. Not anything to write home about, but I'd order them again. The squid was really flavorful and it was a good portion. I also had a giant pot of oolong tea which was delicious. They take Apple Pay as well and for less than $40 it wasn't a bad lunch. I'll be back to give it another shot for dinner.

The bottomless drinks are premixed but still taste good and strong. The restaurant itself is small with few tables inside and outside but it does have a long bar with seats available as well. It's located in Barracks Row so street parking is hit or miss. Will definitely go back and take advantage of this special!

The roasted pork, shrimp, and chicken was perfectly prepared and the lo mein was just right. The flavors combined together for a lite yet delectable dish and I especially loved the vegetables (bok Choy) I would absolutely order here again as long as the quality doesn't change.

The food is consistently fresh, hot, and good, and the customer service is always great. The restaurant itself is fairly small and definitely more of a carry-out than a dine-in restaurant, which is perfectly fine for what it is. My only complaint is that I wish they stayed open later! I usually have to order during work hours because by the time I'm off, they're already closed. Other than that, this is easily one of my favorite spots for Chinese food.

Reservations are encouraged as this place does get busy and it leads to the phone not being answered. Small staff but big hearts for the customers. I've enjoyed the high level of customer service during my visits. Can we talk about the pork belly? Chiillle, it runs out fast so go early. If they do run out, the soy garlic chicken dish will get you right. The mixologists do a kick butt job on the drinks and there are non-alcoholic options if you're not in a getting tipsy mood. I was pleased with the different flavors and portion sizes. There may have been one dish that I wasn't over the moon about, and even then it was still edible. The manager will come to discuss any substitutions if they run out of an item. When this happens, they more than make up for it by offering something comparably delicious. I would recommend and return to explore more of the menu.

For appetizers, we shared the salt and pepper calamari and the jah leung. The calamari was good was but was on the saltier side. I've never had jah leung; it was a very pretty dish and tasted interesting but not sure if I really liked the textures. For my entree, I ordered the beef brisket chow fun. I liked how tender the beef was but it was also on the saltier side. I got to try my husband's char siu place and my friend's crispy pork belly. Both were really tasty and I would probably get those next time instead! Overall, the service was good and I was pretty happy with the food in general (maybe I'm just sensitive to salt).

Most of the tables were taken but we were seated right away. We ordered the Edamame and House Smashed Cucumber. The Cucumber had the right amount of tanginess. The Cheng Du Spicy Wonton stood out.

It's advertised as spicy, and I was asked if I was ok with spicy after I ordeeed (which I appreciated), but I honestly didn't find the soup very spicy at all! It was pretty flavorful though. I'd get it again. I'm also looking forward to trying other items like their Dan Dan Noodles.

Still, it delivered on taste. The chicken with broccoli was the standout of the meal. Fresh, well-cooked, and nicely seasoned, it felt simple in the best way and easily the highlight. The fried rice was solid and enjoyable, though lighter on vegetables and add-ins than you might typically expect. Overall, a good, dependable meal that does exactly what it should. Straightforward, comforting Chinese food that's especially well-suited for an easy weekend delivery night. Solid four stars, and I'd order again.

Since Soupy Dumpling & Fancy…read moreCuppa was too far away, we walked into Dumpling Hot Pot Beyond after an evening school event on a Thursday around 7 p.m. One other person was just finishing their meal when we arrived. Overall, the food was good. Once seated, a server hands you an iPad where you'll order your food. To feed two adults and one child, all hungry, we ordered dan dan noodles, orange chicken, cucumbers, BBQ pork bao, pork dumplings, and, of course, soup dumplings. Every dish had good flavor. The dan dan noodles are more soupy compared to nearby Copycat, but it was still good. One odd thing that may be a one off, but worth noting is the wait time. With one other person there and no takeout pickups and three people in the kitchen, it took 35 minutes to get our first dishes. Over an hour later, we got our final dish- orange chicken. We couldn't figure out why there was such a long wait especially when other spots bring out the cucumbers within minutes of ordering. We were hungry so it added to the emotions, but worth calling out in case you're a rush.
