This place is great, everyone comes here for the soup dumplings- but rule of thumb, get the one with crab meat, it tastes so much better, a place worth going to, though I must say, the waiters weren't all that nice, which reflects why this isn't a 5 star

4 Stars: Best Soup Dumplings! (by Susan L.)

I love this restaurant. It has the best soup dumplings. Scallion pancakes, and any noodles dishes are delicious. i always walk out full satisfied and full.

But be prepared for a long wait, especially if you decide to go during the busy lunch or dinner hours. I've waited over 2 hours for a table onces. I find the staff service okay. Some are more friendly and polite then others. But the food is so good.. Who cares?

PROS: Fantasic food
CONS: bad service, long wait

no argue, local chinese are also crazy for the soup dumplings, but note, order the one w/ the crab meat!
it can blows u away! another special dish: Tofu with Crabmeat Sauce. Though extremely long waiting time, but once u get in, food serves really quick, so it definitely worth a trip!!!

PROS: Crab meat dumplings
CONS: Tight spaces, long wait
