    Visited here for a friend's birthday and the ambiance and aesthetic were AMAZING! We went on a Wednesday, which is when they have live jazz. Very nice. The food was very fresh and savory and the wait staff were very punctual. Not pictured: shrimp dumplings, scallion pancakes, and pan fried pork dumplings Everything was delicious! Can't wait to go back!

    We came here for brunch and didn't have much of a wait. Everything tasted super yummy and they have a pretty interesting menu in addition to the more traditional items. We got the tea smoked duck, crab tofu, crab and pork soup dumplings, sautéed string beans and the sichuan cold noodles. The duck definitely had a unique smoked flavor. Actually pretty smoky, but tasty too. I would say the pieces didn't have too much meat though. Crab tofu was what my friend really wanted to come here for. Taste wise, not super crab-y and the texture of the sauce was a bit grainy. I still actually liked it though, it was unique flavor-wise. Soup dumplings were standard and the sichuan cold noodles were probably my favorite. Can't go wrong with classics. Really good and very shareable of course. Wish we came with more people!

    Very nice ambiance, with some star dishes and live jazz music in the back. EXTREMELY fast service too... our appetizers were served almost right away and our mains quickly followed... we were in and out within an hour. We ordered a LOT of food (16 dishes for 7 people lol) but it actually ended up being enough food... we finished almost everything! For small dishes: -Cucumber (5/5): such a highlight. so crunchy and refreshing -Woodear mushroom salad (4/5): really delicious, but not my favorite woodear mushroom salad I have ever had -Spicy cabbage (5/5): also a standout. The cabbage was crunchy and super refreshing -Dan dan noodles (3.5/5): good, but not outstanding in any particular away. Noodles are thin with a nice texture. -Sichuan noodles (3.5/5): same (also nothing special)... these are definitely spicier and it is nice that it is a cold noodle, which is refreshing for a summer noodle. For mains: -Tomato soup with fatty beef (4/5): I was pretty excited about this and it did not disappoint! The soup was slightly thicker than I expected but the fatty beef was delicious and loved how the enoki mushroom and glass noodles really soaked up the broth -Pea shoots (3.5/5): solid, but can do without. nothing special. -Numbing Rib Eye Cubes (5/5): honestly this was a standout dish. the rib eye cubes were so tender! -Egg tofu with enoki mushroom (5/5): this dish was also so standout. The egg tofu was lightly crisp on the outside and it was so soft, almost a custardy texture in the inside. Must get this dish... haven't seen it at other Chinese restaurants -Cabbage with soy sauce (5/5): loved this veggie... cabbage was crunchy and garlicky. Just wish garlic was a bit more fried or in smaller pieces so it is more pleasant to eat -String beans (5/5): also loved the string beans here. Not too oily, had that a nice bite with the lightly fried exterior -Crab Tofu (3.5/5): It was good, but I feel like I had better crab tofu at other restaurants. It is very soft though -Chili Fried Chicken (3/5): I'm not a big fan of fried chicken, but other people really enjoyed it. The pieces of chicken are really small, but it is juicy when you get a good bite. -Duck fried rice (3/5): rice is cooked well, but there could have been more flavor to this dish -Cumin Lamb (2.5/5): was not the biggest fan of this dish.. definitely have had better cooked lamb. Could have been more tender and chewy. Very flavorful though. -Steamed fish with green peppers (2/5/5): also not a huge fan of this dish. Fish was good, but not nearly as tender and soft as I was hoping for. Also, not too much flavor. Overall, the restaurant gives similar vibes as Uluh in Manhattan, but with a larger and more lovely interior with live jazz!
