This has to be the BEST Chinese restaurant I have EVER been to. My favorite things to get are the scallion (onion) pancakes, steamed shrimp and leek dumplings, steamed pork and leek buns, and fish ball soup. I also really like cold sesame noodles. Pros: The quality of the food is just OUTSTANDING and it's all very fresh. There's amazing service and everyone's always friendly. Everything is made right then and there and worth waiting for. Everything is cooked just enough. Cons: This restaurant doesn't accept credit cards, so remember to bring cash. Food takes a while to come out, so not ideal if your in a hurry. Best For: This place is probably best for a nice, but not too fancy lunch. This restaurant very clean, and worth coming to whenever your craving dumplings. This place definitely deserves a 6/5 rating, and I totally recommend it.

My mom (a Chinese foodie!) loves this place and I agree. The buns and dumplings are really tasty (try the seafood dumplings). Family owned place, cash only, they make everything from scratch. Surprisingly nice service for a small Chinese place too. They also sell frozen dumplings, which we promptly bought after trying the fresh dumplings. They actually made the dumplings from scratch while we were eating to take home to freeze ourselves - that is so nice and rare to see!!

Simple place for a simple meal. My friend and I shared cabbage dumplings (filled with egg, vermicelli, and cabbage) which were excellent, leek fried buns (absolutely brilliant - the crispy bottom and their smell were rather unique) and a cucumber appetizer (a tad salty but exactly what you'd expect). Lots of vegetarian options for their buns, dumplings, and little fried/baked hand pies. Fast and good service as well.

One of my favorite sleepers for dumplings and baozi! They make everything from scratch so it takes a little while, but you won't be disappointed! Flavorful and juicy fillings and even the wrappers are delicious!

Best buns and dumplings in Southern California. They make wonders with flour and pork. They also don’t speak English, so I normally just point at the menu. Nothing is bad on the menu except the seafood. If you get something fried, try to dine in to get the texture right. If you get fennel buns, make sure you like the taste of fennel because there’s nothing subtle about that one. Pork and cabbage is the safest bet.
