I order from here as my go to comfort food when it's needed. Everything on the menu looks just as good in person and tastes amazing, if you think you'll like a dish I guarantee you will love it. Some of the best <<taggedItemId=114303414>>Sesame Ball with Anko (3 Pc)<</taggedItemId>> I've ever had anywhere, and their <<taggedItemId=114303449>>Shanghai Charred Scallion Noodle<</taggedItemId>> are as good as the ones my sister makes in her wok here at home. I'd complement the pork bao as well but they're really hard to mess up and the ceiling for making good ones is so low anyways, but they're still delicious as always. Don't be afraid to try new things if you've never had dim sum as well, I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised by how delicious those dishes can be

The Sticky Jasmine Beef Fried Rice was VERY good. However, I wish they would list all of their ingredients because I would've preferred no seeds. I wasnt very impressed with the <<taggedItemId=114303442>>Hot & Sour Soup<</taggedItemId>> unfortunately. $9 for a small cup is ridiculous. You can get the same soup for the same price at PF Chang's for triple the amount of soup. There was also very little chicken in the soup too. All in all, I had to give four stars bc the fried rice dish was truly amazing, even with the other hiccups.

The flavors were good. I've had better soup dumplings (these were not that bad though but not great value considering price and quantity). The chicken portion was on the smaller side and slightly oily, but the taste was pretty good. 

Their beef chow fun and shrimp har gow are sooooooo good!!!! The hot sauce is so flavorful and super spicy!!!!

Green beans were great. Calamari, excellent!
