I came here for a casual dining experience and had a great time. I ordered the dumpling sampler and the shredded beef mini bao. I personally enjoyed the chicken and vegetable dumplings the most—they had a soft texture and delicious flavor. The shredded beef bao was also excellent—the beef was tender and paired perfectly with the soft, fluffy bao.My daughter ordered the chicken dumplings and really liked them as well.We also tried the jasmine tea, which was warm and very pleasant—light and refreshing, a great match for the meal.Service was fast, and even though they made a small mistake with the order, they corrected it right away. Staff was polite and attentive. The place is clean, and they clean up quickly after each customer leaves, keeping everything ready for the next guest.There was no background music, but that actually made it easier to have a conversation.Overall, I definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area and looking for dumplings or a casual dining option. - Pedro Martinez (AcidezVlog)
