  Delicious beef scallion pancake wrap! Definitely coming back to try more of the menu next time. Note**it was not open for dine in when I went.

  I dont think I have ever loved a meal more! I got the chicken dumplings in Sichuan sauce and the chicken scallion pancake wrap and it was genuinely fantastic. The space is small and unassuming but the folks working there are so friendly and have created a truly fantastic environment in which to serve up amazing eats.

  Little Chinese restaurant that seems to be family owned (not sure). We ordered the pork belly buns ($8), the beef scallion pancake/wrap ($8), and a spicy noodle soup ($12). Was really excited for the deep fried buns but they happened to be out when we went. Food came out quickly, and the beef scallion pancake was great! However, in the future, I will steer clear of the pork belly buns. The pork belly was fatty but far more chewy/rubbery than melt-in-your-mouth as I expected. They have other filling options like chicken, etc., which may be better (haven't tried). My friend had the noodle soup, which was nice and he enjoyed. Might come back for the deep fried buns but not sure! Felt a bit overpriced for the quality, but maybe I would feel differently about a different selection.

  Pretty authentic and a quick place to grab a bite. I got the scallion pancake beef wrap. Anything scallion pancake here is delicious. I also recommend the shrimp steamed dumplings. The inside is a bit small if it becomes busy and you are looking for a seat, but take out is also an option here too.

  Little nice homey place. Food was solid but nothing really blew me away. Food definitely won me over with strong basic foundation, and every food was served piping hot. Definitely worth the try if you are craving for beef noodle soup.
