Great place for homemade dumplings. Their dumplings and fried chicken are top notch. Service takes a while, but worth the wait.
★★★★★JILL JIANG2 years ago
The lady owner is very friendly and hard working. All the baos and wontons are homemade handmade, if you want to try authentic Chinese food, with a affordable price, this is the price. Chicken wings are quite big than all the other places I been to, even some famous lined up restaurant is no better ...

food comes out quickly & hot. Have gotten sheng jian bao a couple times & the meat held together a lot better the second time we came. loved the chicken wings too. cash only but there are plenty of atms on the street
★★★ "I usually order their dry fried chicken wing, XLB, and pan fried dumplings.
★★★★ "Stopped by for the ShengJian Bao with my girlfriend. Owner wasn’t the friendliest at first but definitely warms up to you(maybe because i shared that i lived in Shanghai for a while).

- ★★★ "I usually order their dry fried chicken wing, XLB, and pan fried dumplings.
A little disappointed of the wings and XLB this time. The batter of the wings is too hard, and size is smaller not much meat, sauces is still amazing (Tate's like sweet honey with ginger).
XLB skin is too saggy this time, se..." — **s z** (6 years ago)
