    Arpit D.

    Found a new gem of a Chinese restaurant in Germantown. This restaurant was where Happy Uncle used to be, but I'm assuming its now under new management, therefore a new name. The restaurant was very nice, spacious, with lots of tables. It was empty when I arrived to pick up my food, but I'm guessing they get a lot of carry out orders so the kitchen was really busy. I ordered online easily, with the main entrees being the Vegetable Delight and Vegetable Lomein. Both moderately priced, but well worth it, though I wish the Vegetable Delight had more gravy in it. It was a bit too dry for my taste, but next time I order again, I'll be sure to tell them to put more gravy. The lomein was amazing, noodles soft and slurpy, great taste. Vegetables were all crunchy and fresh. I really enjoyed the food because ever since another chinese restaurant closed in the area, there hasn't been a great option since. Hopefully i found the right replacement. Amazing service and the carry out bags were really cute with insulation in it to keep the food very hot on my drive home. First time I've seen these types of bags. I'll be back for sure!

    Steamed meat dumplings.

    Tried this place for the first time. The chicken in garlic sauce was delicious. I'm definitely going back.

Our waitress was lovely and very attentive throughout the meal, and the service was impressively fast. The food came out almost immediately. Everything we tried was delicious. The chili oil handmade noodles and the signature pork soup dumplings were definite standouts and absolutely worth ordering. The firecracker salmon spring rolls were a little different than the typical spring rolls we're used to seeing, thinner and more delicate, but still incredibly flavorful and delicious. Overall, a great experience with fast service, excellent food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

    I finally went here after passing it for years. I've actually been twice now. I've had their…read moredumplings, combination lo mein, and house basil chicken. The dumplings were delicious on both occasions. The basil chicken was flavorful, but the lomein was very bland. They did not include any sauce in the to go bag (you have to request it). Therefore, I had to eat dry lo mein. The customer service was lovely. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I look forward to eating in on my next visit. There are many menu items that I would like to try. Overall, I think it's worth a visit. It's conveniently located and the prices are fairly reasonable.

    Very attentive service on a Saturday morning. The sound of Chinese pop music plays quietly in the…read morebackground just enough you can still hear the lyrics but also the conversation from nearby tables. The dining area is one room, from what I could see, but very clean. You can see the kitchen where there are stacks of steamer baskets used for the soup basket. Some table had printed drinks menu but we got a handwritten one. All the menus are laminated and you're given a whiteboard marker to mark what you would like to order. We ordered some appetizers/snacks along with soup dumplings and the crispy coconut shrimp balls. Shortly after ordering, the side dishes and appetizers appeared. The dough sticks were a simple beige food for the child who happily munched on it. It's a fried dough sticks that didn't seem too greasy. Each half can still break into two smaller sticks for smaller bites. Traditionally it's paired with soy milk but we had already ordered a lot of food. The cucumber garlic salad was crispy, flavorful, and slightly sweet. Little threads of carrot added a bit of textural difference and color. The garlic provided a small bite without overpowering the fish. It's a kid-friendly dish as long as they are okay with cilantro! This is a must order. The scallion pancake with beef with also a huge hit. It's crispy and flaky (but not crumbly) and it's served with slices of beef, what appeared to be some sweet sauce (hoisin maybe?) and thinly shredded scallions. It was similar to Peking Duck but with a scallion pancake and beef instead of the thin pancake and duck. The thinly shredded scallions add a bit of a kick and freshness that counteracts the oil from the scallion pancake. The coconut-crispy shrimp balls were a huge hit. This dish was whole, headless, fried shrimp tossed in a sweet sauce then dusted with shredded coconut, served with some slices of pineapple. It reminded us a bit of mayo-shrimp dishes but with coconut. An order of the chicken soup dumplings were placed just because most of the soup dumplings contain pork. It was recommended over the other non pork shrimp and zucchini dumplings. They don't seem very hot until you get your first big bite. Took a nibble, drank some of the broth, and then with a bigger bite realized there was still more broth! Ginger, soy sauce, and chili crisp/oil is available on the table, but the juicy soup dumplings were perfect on their own. The steamer of rainbow dumplings was also quickly devoured with the black truffle (pork), mala spicy pork, and shrimp/zucchini being the favorites. Each soup dumplings had its own unique taste. Upon hearing the shrimp/zucchini was liked because it was refreshing, an order of those were also placed. Once they arrived, I had to agree they were very good. They have a different taste and texture and even though I thought the chicken was good, I found myself quickly devouring the steaming soup dumplings. While we ate, our drinks were constantly refilled and we were asked if we needed anything, even ginger slices. With the clean, prompt, service that comes along with delicious foods, we're bound to come back to try the other foods!

The food was so delicious and the portions were quite large. Every bite was flavorful, thankfully I was able to try out my wife's food as well, which was also really good.
