Amazing food and taste. The dumplings are beyond explanation. Orgasm of flavor in your mouth. Pork dumpling shanghai style is worth the mention. Pork buns just melted in your mouth.

Peking Duck with Pancakes is delicious. Crispy skin duck mooshoo! I live in Chicago and I always stop here for the duck when I'm in town.

Eggplant and pork lunch special - best eggplant I've ever eaten. Wish the pork pieces were a little larger, wee actually part of the sauce on the eggplant. Overall it was delicious.

Nice to have a quiet dim sum restaurant alternative! Friendly staff, made to order dim-sum. Luscious rice noodle rolls, & all the basics are solid.

Singapore chow fun (rice noodle) spicy and tasty, but slight metallic taste.

The prices are expensive! The rice alone was $12 and you don't get any extras with the meat.

This place sucks. Tourist trap. Not authentic at all and super expensive. If you want authentic dim sum flavors and experience, go elsewhere please. I beg of you.

Peking duck was okay. Crepes were more like tortillas. Smallest glass of wine I've ever been served. Pretty pricey for soso food.
