jenny z.jenny z: Amazing soup dumplings! Even the shrimp & loofa ones are delish (as strange as it sounds). The beef scallion pancakes and the ramen (Chinese hand pulled noodles, NOT the Japanese type) are a must!

Emily L.Emily L: dumplings are delicious! recommend the soup dumplings, pork and crab dumplings, and beef scallion pancakes

Natalie K.Natalie K: The soup dumplings here are amazing. Expect a wait & to be seated with strangers. Totally worth it though!

Jesse H.Jesse Horsley: They don’t state it unless you ask but this place IS vegan. The carrots were phenomenal... so so so good. The bao buns are absolutely DELICIOUS!

Arnaldo J. L.Arnaldo J. López: Maitake Bao

Pavel K.Pavel Karfik: Don't get me wrong, but making beyond burgers isn't that hard. I'd expect more than a beyond burger patty with a tomato. Vegan cuisine (even burgers) offer much much more. Buns were nice.

Fernando R.Fernando Reveco: Ramen! Try also the pork and chicken baos

Rita L.Rita L: Takoyaki, geso karaage, corn cheese, Kara Kin ramen/pork broth thin noodles, ask for spicy on the side! kaisen/seafood ramen with thicker noodles, Nani cocktail is pretty refreshing, looks pretty too!

Emma G.Emma Guest-Consales: Even the hot dogs are great: he brushes them with melted butter and grills them. The buns are buttered and grilled too. Much better than the "poached" dogs you get at the regular stands.

Daniella S.Daniella Schneider: Hot dog with mustard & ketchup a must!!! Crisp dog sliced down the middle and buns are toast. Woot

Shams M.Shams Mitha: The spicy (dark) green sauce - added on request only - is brilliant.

🔹Maria L🔹🔹Maria L🔹: Total dissapointment. Regardless of positive tips, the bun and french fries resemble McDonalds.

Phoebe M.Phoebe Myhrum: Atmosphere, potato bun, no nonsense

Kathy H.Kathy Hergert: Fun atmosphere but the buns were like wonder bread. The fries frozen, and I suspect the meat is factory farmed and frozen patties. Just an interesting version of McD's. Sorry, not impressed.

Concert Ticket AgencyConcert Ticket Agency: A must for all Broadway fans! From Ben Vereen to Patti LuPone. Food/drink minimum, but the small plates are delicious. Not a bad seat in the house, staff is very accommodating and performance-friendly

Andrea M.Andrea Mathias: The perfect place for a first date, catch up with friends, or just to slip away from reality for a while. Also, I will do bad things to get my hands on some of their truffle Mac & Cheese.
