First time at the dumpling hour! Incredible experience trying all sorts of szechuan inspired dumplings thanks to the expert guidance of Robert. I highly recommend the crackling chicken, it was excellent. Pairs well with a cold beer. Cheers
The best food in the world and and the best best best food I ever tasted that's why I rated a five star. The story is so sweet. And the service brings lots and lots of food. I like it the ambience.
If you haven't checked out this place, then put it on your to do list! I definitely love dumplings in this place checks all the boxes. We did not make a reservation, and it was quite busy when we went in on a weeknight, but we receded right away. The server that we had was extremely informative and walked us through the menu since it was our first time. It's definitely great for an outing with the girls, date, or a large group. Highly recommend checking this place out and excited to go back to try more dumplings!
In reality, this should be a 4.5. We absolutely love coming here. The food is always great, the staff is always on point, and the ambiance feels very good. I only really have 2 negatives, and I'm really reaching here. They need a bigger location. It can get crowded quick. Some of the tables are way too small to save space. Secondly, I understand it's bad for you, but they need to have a unlimited foundation drink option. I don't like having to pay PER can soda. It's a rip off in my opinion.
The long bao (pork) might be the best thing I've ever eaten. The waitress was so helpful & described the menu items as I was unfamiliar. Coconut shrimp was fried perfectly but weee very sweet & were covered in coconut sauce. I can't wait to go back
Food and service was both great. Started off with the Sweet and Sour Cucumber. It was good but underwhelming. Spicy Beef Buns were next. We absolutely loved these although they were not actually spicy! Then got the Dan Dan Noodles. These were very good and had what we called a peanut flavored sauce. We finished up with Pork Xiao Long Bao(pork soup dumplings) and they were great! We had one that didn't have soup in it but that wasn't a big deal! We were pleased to see that our total cost was only $39 and left the two of us filled up!
Delicious dumplings, and other offerings. My kids really loved the variety of dumplings. They had really good chicken wings, too. I want to go back and try more dishes, because everything I saw when I scanned the room looked good on other peoples' plates. I had some type of wrapped beef, that I can't remember the name of. It was almost like a Chinese burrito. My son really loved it. Can't wait to go back!
The staff was very helpful with all the options. We came with a big group and eating family style was the best option for all of us. We wanted to try basically one of everything. We had such a good time and almost needed a wheelchair to get rolled out. Place was so yummy I wanted to take the chefs home with me. MUST TRY SPOT!
Dim Sum * Saw this spot in Lafayette, LA on TikTok and decided I needed to give my own go at it. Location in a shopping center off Ambassador, easy to get to and lots of parking. Tastefully decorated with a BIG menu. We may have ordered too much . Service was super fast and had the table full within minutes of ordering. We got a mix of Pot Stickers, Soup Dumplings, wings, Pork Buns and Egg Rolls. I forgot pictures of some but the table was literally covered. Everything was so good and full of flavor. Highly suggest getting many options and if you need to (like us) get a to go box... or 2!
