Xiao Long Bao
These steamed soup dumplings are a classic, known for their flavorful broth and juicy pork filling that bursts with every bite.
"Shell Loan Bao is freshly, juice burst with flavour comes out, pork is juicy and don't have the weird pork smell that you may find from other restaurants."
Vernon Chang
Spicy Crawfish
A flavorful and spicy dish featuring whole crawfish, offering a delicious kick for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
"Each of the spicy crawfish has a whole crawfish inside. The spice was delicious as well! 5/5!"
Tony Yang
Fried noodles w/ pork & veg
Bouncy noodles with a mild soy flavor, complemented by plenty of crunchy vegetables like bean sprouts for added texture.
"honestly feels like an understated hit, the noodles were bouncy and overall mild in soya flavour but very tasty — lots of crunchy veggies (bean sprouts) that gave it good texture"
