brandie: We liked our crab and pork dumplings, but loved our chicken and broccoli lunch special.
Jeremy Jacobowitz: The BEST Chinese food in NYC! Soup dumplings, pork dumplings, scallion pancakes, general Tsao chicken! It goes on and on....
ZenFoodster: Sista to its W'side original, this Midtown E joint is pricy but real deal. Oily Shanghai spring rolls, OK XLBs & thick-skinned but tasty Pan-fried pork dumplings. Ask 4 black vinegar & ginger w/ XLBs
Amanda Nanawa: Really good, fresh dumplings and all at a very affordable price. Clean restaurant & bathroom was impeccable. We ordered pan fried dumplings, steamed pork dumplings, & wonton soup w/dumplings. Tasty!
Polina Weitz: The pork soup dumplings are good, but I've had better. The pan-fried pork dumplings are great as always.

Abby: So delicious - get a mix of meats & veggies. There are many varying happy hour specials depending on the day. Cap the evening off with an order of s'mores. Nice window seating as well.
Tony Xerri: This place is absurdly amazing. Go with a group and order their kobe beef combos for the best experience. Servers tip you on the best way to cook your meal and the Bibimbap is life altering.
Tony Nguyen: Happy hour before six is amazing! The bar have amazing deals. 5 dollar cocktails ftw!
