• This is real authentic Chinese food, I studied abroad in Beijing I would know. Get the soup dumplings, the best I've ever had!

• The fried tiny buns are better than the soup dumplings.

• Three dedicated cooks expertly hand-make dumplings from lean pork shoulder daily. Poke a hole in the skin to cool it down or let the soup run out into your spoon, then add the ginger-vinegar. Savor.

• Ask for Raymond, as good as service as you can get in Chinatown. Eff Joe's Shanghai, this place is better.

• Stir-fried dishes are the go to here, & no meal is complete without an order of the xiao long bao. For groups of three or more, consider the massive $15 pork shoulder in honey sauce. [Eater 38 Member]

• xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are incredible- very small and juicy! the fried pork buns are kinda thick and greasy but also pretty good. $18 card minimum.

• Was actually disappointed with the food. Soup dumplings were smallish, and while the skins were thin and delicate, the filling and soup were underwhelming. More tourists than locals...

• The bathrooms are surprisingly clean and when you go downstairs you cab peak into the kitchen which is also shockingly clean.
