What to Order
Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)
These classic steamed dumplings are filled with succulent shrimp, a staple of any dim sum experience.
"Loved the pork bun, the sticky rice in lotus leaf, the soup dumplings and of course the Har Gow and Shu Mai. Dumplings for days here and they are all top notch."
Richard W
Siu Mai (Pork and Shrimp Dumplings)
Another dim sum essential, these open-faced dumplings feature a flavorful mixture of pork and shrimp, often topped with roe.
"You can’t go wrong with their Har Gao (shrimp dumplings) and Siu Mai."

Steamed BBQ Pork Buns
Soft, fluffy steamed buns filled with savory-sweet char siu (BBQ pork), a comforting and satisfying bite.
"Our favorite was the shrimp rice roll and bbq buns."
Karen Escobedo
Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao)
Delicate dumplings filled with seasoned pork and a rich, hot broth, requiring careful handling to enjoy the burst of flavor.
"The soup dumplings are to die for but patience is key."
Hannah Duncan
Deep Fried Squid
Crispy fried squid, often lightly seasoned, offering a delightful crunch and savory taste.
"If you have kids (or just love a crunch), the Deep Fried Squid is a mandatory order."
RiCK S
Stuffed Eggplant
Tender eggplant pieces stuffed with a savory filling, often served with a flavorful sauce.
"I wish they had more than one type of Chang fang but the stuffed eggplant is delicious (I recommend a small side of black bean sauce with it)."
Hannah Duncan
Chilli Oil
A house-made spicy condiment that adds a significant kick and depth of flavor to any dish.
"The chilli oil is a perfect pairing."
