Went to try out some new foods. The lions head meatball was ok, felt like needed more seasoning. The Peking pork and braised chicken dish were delicious. The scallop soup dumplings were amazing, filled with juice. The waitress were always checking in on us and giving our tables refill of water too

RATING - 3.5/5 - Cozy spot that can get busy with neighborhood folks. They're mainly walk in, unless you have a party of 7+, then you get their bigger round table in the back. We were a party of 6 on Father's Day weekend and waited ~ 10 min for a table. What we got: - Pork Soup Dumplings: 7/10 - the skin was a bit thicker than l'd like, but the taste was there. I loved that we all got individual vinegar ginger dips - Crab + Pork Soup Dumplings: 9/10 - better than the Pork! The skin wasn't as thick for our batch - Scallop Soup Dumplings: 7/10 - not a huge fan of the flavor, but l like that they don't skimp on the scallop! - Shanghai Lo Mein & Shanghai Style Rice Cake: 7/10 - they could've had more wok fry, but good flavor - Fried Wonton in Peanut + Hot Sauce: 8/10 - 1 really enjoyed this dish! It's not very spicy + topped with a crushed peanut/sugar flavor - so good! - Braised Pork Belly: 8/10 - pretty heavy, unless you eat it with the bao buns. Very flavorful, and may go good with a bowl of rice as well! - Scallion Pancake & String Beans: 9/10 - standard + yummy! Overall, it was a good place for a meal, but I personally had better soup dumplings elsewhere. Otherwise, everything else is alright!
