I am not an expert on Chinese food. The food is very good. I ordered the assorted soup dumplings. The difference in flavor is very subtle. That said they all taste the same if you ask me. But they are all delicious. The kaofu was delicious but is served cold. I wish it was hot. It was on the menu as server with black mushrooms. There were too few mushrooms if you ask me . The dining room is nice but crazy loud when it gets full.

This restaurant just opened in Stamford and I’m so glad that their food is amazing since Stamford doesn’t have many good Asian restaurants. Their soup dumplings are yummy, big filling, and the soup is very juicy. We came here on Sunday and there was an outdoor event right in front of the mall so it was busy but the staff were very nice. Our food came out fast. We ordered way too much for 2 people but that’s fine

The pancake was delicious, the beef noodles were decent, and the xiao long bao were excellent. The cold tofu was just okay—not really my favorite. The staff were lovely and the prices were reasonable.

Delicious eveyrthing :) Just very disappointed with the taro desert, they were a bit weird and didn't feel so fresh? Too sweet maybe. Also didn't like the potstickers, the dough was a bit thick and bland, and they were too oily and not grilled at all.

Excellent one of the best soup dumplings I've ever had. The Taiwanese style ribs are the melt in your mouth type. The Shanghai stir fried udon noodles are very good. But the star of the show is definitely the soup dumplings.

While I am aware that New York does not lack authentic Chinese food, I thought everything I had here was just tasty and I didn't really know how else to describe them. My friend and I ordered some of their signature dishes and some dishes that we would eat while at home in China, and since my friend was a foodie, I had some expectations for this establishment, and was not disappointed. The soup dumplings contained a good amount of soup and had a lot of flavor, so the overall experience was very positive. The chicken soup was also very flavorful, and seeing the oil floating on the top made me recognize right away that it was going to be good. The chives boxes weren't as full as what I have had at home, and the chives taste wasn't as strong, but they were still really tasty. The fried rice wasn't too dry or too oily and had good flavor. The pressed tofu and celery dish offered a good contrasting experience since it was a cold dish and had the right amount of saltiness. Finally, the dumplings were just great since they had the perfect thickness for the skin, and were pretty big in size. With all of those ordered, my friend and I had a great time eating Chinese food and catching up. I am aware that this establishment has a few locations within the city, so I am glad to see it thriving and truly wish it best of luck in serving the local communities with quality Chinese food.
