    Many varieties of dumplings, all delicious. Some are in wonton soups, some steamed, some in chili sauce, and even dessert dumplings. Our group's overall favorite is still the classic/original pork xiao long bao.

    The server was very nice and spoke professionally. I enjoyed being on the second floor and looking out the city. The ambience I felt could be a bit better. It was really bright, but that’s to each their own. I thought the ambience was going to be more chill and not so bright was all. The food was good.

    Food was great - service everyone seemed to be to busy to acknowledge us or have time to bring us water or take our order. 15-17 mins after being seated and trying to flag someone done did our order get taken. The food did come in a reasonable time and it was hot. So that was good! The place was not busy so I can’t use that as an excuse for the delay or lack of attention
