star star: 5 stars for the price/quality balance.The hand-pulled lamb noodles are what they are most known for (a steal for 13$!), and they're definitely worth a try if you're in the area. It's not the best I've tried compared to other similar places in other cities, but it is the best option in Boston I have been to for this type of food. Noodles are a bit thick and chewy (if that's the texture you prefer then you will love!) and the chili oil and lamb is delicious. Wish there were a bit more vegetables in the bowl, but you can add extra toppings for additional fees.Food came relatively quick for a weekend lunch, but restaurant is very small, so you'll likely be looking at a takeout option if you go at a busy time. They accept both credit and cash, but don't really provide much service for dine in (much more of a self-service type place). Overall great option for fresh hand-pulled noodles in Boston!
Bailey Williams: Some of the best Chinese food on the east coast and a hot & sour noodle soup that will go toe to toe with any spot in NYC

Panadayana: Really great find on our trip, enjoyed the hand pulled noodles (no broth just chili oil) lamb skewers, pork and lamb burgers. The spice level I got was the spiciest and it was just right. Cash or they have a digital kiosk as well as some Asian drinks to try. The lychee was surprisingly refreshing with the spice. Would go again next time.Vegetarian options: They did have some vegetarian options like tofu and no meat all veggie

samantha s: Never had hand pulled noodles before but ordered them with pork. A bit salty for my taste but would get them again. The prices are great, especially for the portion sizes. I think one order of noodles (with pork) lasted me 2-3 meals at least.
Jeanine: SO GOOD!! This was one of the first meals we had in Boston and it set the bar for the remainder of our stay. Staff were wonderful and welcoming, and the price is absolutely right. Truly a gem!!
Ashley Lauren: Holy moly the soup is so good
Josue Perez Campos: super flavourful dishes and the pick up orders are ready super fast, especially during lunch peak hours. i will be returning.

libra dom: so mid. came here yesterday and was really excited because i haven’t had hand pulled noodles since ‘xi’an famous foods’ in new york and ‘chili square’ in quincy, thinking this place would somewhat compare to those spots. i was so wrong; the noodles were heavily doughy and poorly pounded, they ended up sitting in my stomach for the entire night and made me feel queasy. the soup had little to no flavor and the only things i could taste were a little bit of lamb essence and heavy sodium. i asked for half spice and they gave me none, then said they’d charge me an extra dollar for the spice they missed.overall, gene’s does lamb pretty well though. i asked for half spice and it was nicely seasoned and juicy! the skewer i had was one of the only salvaging parts of this experience, as well as the pieces of tender lamb in the hard-to-stomach noodle soup. this place does satisfy cravings for hand-pulled noodles, but you’d be better off going to chili square in quincy for authentic xi’an food instead.
Nicole Raphaelson: I agree w the previous reviewer. These hand-pulled noodles are nothing like the thick but stretchy xi'an noodles of nyc fame and are worse than Gene's pre pandemic. These noodles have all the stretch of pieces of wall to wall carpeting. Try Chili House in Quincy for excellent rendition.Food: 2/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More
Roka Hosono: Don’t know why the rating was so high. My main problem was they they put a lot of Onions in the Lamb noodle. It doesn’t work well with the dish and it gives out a distinct smell I’m not a big fan of.Xi An Famous Foods in NYC is way better. Their lamb base is much more spicy and has more flavor.Wish they come to Boston one day. This ain’t it.

I'm always full when about 2/3 way into any of their noodle or rice dish.HATE: cash onlyLOVE: food is mostly consistentHATE: odd balls and "fake" items -- most recent being the Shanghainese style noodle. It was supposedly dark brown from dark soy, but it came as pale as Shanghainese people's skin. My Shanghainese friend is not impressed. Please, take it off the menu!!p.s.They recently re-opened limited seating for eat-in.

Manya: food was not as authentic as i had hoped. tasty, but obviously toned down for less adventurous palates

MrEgzekutor098: Obsługa średnia, nie było ruchu a kelnerka jakby nas chciała wygonić.
Xudong Wang: The food was good, however the cashier had so bad attitude that made us feel very very disrespected.

We did not know the details of the expenses at all.Food: 4/5|Service: 1/5|Atmosphere: 2/5 …More
Cheepers _: Yummy food and a nice atmosphere. Somewhat hard to find/enter off the street.Wheelchair accessibility: Not very accessible without assistance. There are two heavy doors. The first is coming off the street, and it leads into a small room about five foot by five foot. The second door slams. LOUDLY. Very heavy doors and not easy to access with a wheelchair or with physical impairments.
Allison Hughes: This is not a real restaurant, just a scam to make money quickly while treating customers terribly because they don’t care if you come back or not. They would take your money and then not give you the meal. Kitchen is very uncleanly, food is disgusting and they likely put fillers like wood shavings in it. I know 3 different people who have gotten food poisoning from the food.

They take credit card. Food was delicious, so much so I came back the next day for seconds of their beef scallion pancake - the bomb! And, so many choices, dumplings were yummy. Definitely a keeper for our next cross country Boston visit.

I should’ve gotten my money back too !
Kevin Swift: Good dumplings
Adam Vieth: Avoid this abysmal establishment at all costs. Fried rice wasn’t fried and was just white rice with oil. The steamed dumplings were accompanied by a healthy helping of boiling water. It was not disclosed that 18% gratuity was added onto bill no matter party size. Shady practices and depression inducing food. Stay as far away as humanly possible.
Sav Stewart: Recommended dishes MA PO TofuMore
Nelsy Nunez: Bad! Waitress was very rude and was rushing us the whole time. Food took a while and when we got the bill there was an added 18% though there was only two of us. The service was not worth the 18%. Food was okay. First and last time.
Nadia Tabbara: Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More
Vincent Cheung: A very authentic Chinese food experience. We got the Taiwanese style wonton noodle soup and the pork soup dumplings. The noodles had the perfect bouncy texture and the more mild flavor actually complimented the very flavorful soup dumplings. The soup dumpling were well stuffed and bursting with broth. It was a perfect lunch stop!
Kan: tl;dr - food is fine but overpriced, bad service and 18% gratuities included in the bill周末晚上去的,当时店里坐得挺满,不过基本都是老外,没几个华人味道还行,比想象中好点不过八块钱的小馄饨只有五个就有点没天理了服务是一塌糊涂,服务员点单点了一半会去隔壁桌收盘子。我们坐了半个多小时连水都没加过一次最后单上竟然还直接加了 18% 的小费。hmmmm 边上好吃的这么多,何必来这家磨练人生意志呢,是吧?

Benjamin Lee: I'm not going to blame them entirely that this has gone downhill since covid and their huge renovation change. This just hasn't been the same HK eatery I had growing up.I expected the inflation prices and I am very okay with paying it. But the character they had in their food and atmosphere just isnt the same and it's been a high disappointment. They also left out that this restaurant is now self-service. No wait staff is there to take orders anyone like a fast paced HK style place anymore. Take out is still the same and there are side dishes available to pick up which is great to a point. That all honestly has nothing with the 2 star I left behind, it's the impression they gave me that I had to tip them on top of the inflation prices they have.If it's self-service now, why would they tell us to tip? I left a nice one because I knew how hard it is for restaurants to find staff before realizing we had to go up to the take-out counter to get the food ourselves. My food was left there for 10 minutes and they didnt even call my number.I think I lost one of my favorite HK spots in Boston. Maybe I will try again in the future

Taiwan Cafe: what do users think?
kevin d.: used to be a chinatown favorite, but they now charge 18% tip automatically (we were a party of two) without any prior disclosure and then have the audacity to ask for a double tip.giving an extra star only because their pork&chive dumplings are delicious.
Kyle Amirault: Food: 5/5More
Charlie Pierce: Consistent amazing fresh food. I’ve never had quicker service at any establishment in the US and service is always so kind and sweet. Chili peanut wontons are a must and you can’t go wrong with the brisket soup. Lunch special can’t be beat.
Albert Vo: A good location for some comforting Taiwanese food. I ordered a tomato beef and egg dish and it was deliciously made. The rice cake with beef dish was decent but missing the Wok Hey taste and smell (it was rather white looking). I was disappointed with their Xiao Long Bao (juicy pork dumplings) because the bao skin was thick and didn't taste fresh.
Christine Ho: This place I loved to go in our memory. It makes me feel so bad this time I brought my two kids this time. Be aware that front desk girl. She is the one of waitress let me paid her in front desk. I was thinking about she gave me the bill was true. When I asked for paying cash, even she didn’t print it to me. She’s showing me how much that I had to pay it. I did trust her. After that I found she changed three of us tip 20% of amount already. Even I paid extra 25% tip over that we always did. I would like to direct talk to her owner. To be honestly, three customers are illegally let her charge tip. I always gave very good tip . Just feel so weird she still greedy of me. By the way. I hope she will not over charge under 5 people. She needs learn how to be a honest if customer never check the check.
mark hodder: Food was good. But not quite as we expected.The menu is vast and a bit hard to understand... be careful ordering by number, as numbers are repeated several times. On our order, they gave us one wrong dish, even after giving the number and pointing on the menu.The beef on spicy broth was tough.The dry fried cauliflower was good, but better if it comes with a burner under it.Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible... walk up entrance.
Shawn Jin: It’s the typical Chinatown restaurant. Food is edible, prices are ok. However nothing impressive or outstanding
D XZ: Average food lot of questionable 4 star reviews, Even if you are solo they automatically add 18% tip and when they print the slip for credit card they will still have space for tip hence fooling innocent people!Then they ask you to pay cash .... hum!
cat: Nothing Taiwanese to me about this place, but food taste fine. 1.5 floor above ground, small restaurant, gets busy often.

Charles De Farias: In my top 5 Boston restaurants, I eat here any chance I get. Can't go wrong with the xiang long bao as an appetizer and the house fried pork chop rice plate. Please try something weird and different, they're excellent.
Alina Tang: I ordered hot and sour seafood noodle soup for delivery, and all I for was a bowl of broth with 5 pieces of bok choy and some noodles. Literally zero seafood.
Jea Kim: Taiwanese restaurant with average food and service.While looking for a place without a wait line in Chinatown on the weekends, my friends and I found this place. Since we didn’t have a lot of experience with Taiwanese food, we decided to give them a try. Their vast menu featured over a hundred dishes, and navigating the menu was a bit daunting. We’ve been to quite a lot of restaurants in Chinatown but still felt like neophytes struggling to figure out what’s best. We ended up ordering several Taiwanese dishes that sounded like the most popular menu.For the main dishes, we had the Taiwanese fried pork chop and the Taiwanese style wonton soup. The wonton soup was just okay, but the pork chops were better. The pork was slightly overcooked and dry on the inside, but I liked its flavors and its crispy batter. The shrimp dumplings that we ordered as appetizers came out last, and these were also just alright.While I probably wouldn’t come back for their food, it was still an interesting experience. Just beware that when you pay with card, tip and tax are baked into the bill. Our server seemed visibly dissatisfied with our choice of payment, and since we didn’t speak Chinese, we weren’t notified.

Naman Goel: Went here for a team lunch during lunch hours. We ordered a bunch of things like different dumplings and buns and udon and chicken feet. The food was delicious and would highly recommend if you're looking for some nice dumplings in the area. They have a large menu with vegetarian options as well. The service was a little slow as it took us about an hour to get the food but that might be due to the lunch rush hour.

It is a very busy and tightly packed restaurant during peak hours though.Recommended dishes Fried Turnip Cakes w Ox Sauce, Bakery …More
Patricia Austin: My daughter, sister and I dined here on April 14th. We were seated quickly, but things went downhill rapidly. Before placing our orders, the waitress placed a large pot of hot tea on our table. My daughter poured a cup, which was full tea leaves, herbs and hot water. Unfortunately, amongst the tea leaves, herbs and hot water, my daughter found a hair at the bottom of the cup. We called the waitress and requested that she give us a clean cup. She examined the cup, denied that it contained a hair, dumped the contents of the cup into a basin containing soiled dishes, and returned the cup to us. We should have left then, but apparently, we are gluttons for punishment. Subsequent cups of tea contained more hair and the sautéed baby shrimp that I ordered did not taste fresh. Also, an add on to go order contained two containers of wonton soup instead of the requested single container. In spite of the bad service and cups of hairy tea I left a minimum tip. Imagine my surprise when the waitress loudly demanded that I pay a minimum 15% tip and badgered me until I did so. I wish I had read the previous review. I will not return.
Angelina Yeoh: Reasonably priced— the portion sizes were bigger than I had anticipated but the Dim Sum and Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) were very good. I recommend getting the chicken feet and short ribs with taro (pai gu)
Yuwei Fan: It is a small restaurant for dim sum. Very good food, fresh made with order.They have wonderful bakery too in a separate room.We have visited this place many many times. They always have the top quality food. This is the best authentic Chinese dim sum you can find in Northeastern area, including NYC.PS- 2023 After COVID, the price goes up and the taste goes down. I think they changed the chef. The food is not that good and fresh as before but still delicious.

star star: Solid dim sum choice in Boston Chinatown. Prices are a little above average for dim sum (can find cheaper elsewhere in town), but food is clean and restaurant is relatively clean too.There is a limited variety of dim sum dishes to order, and I wish there were some other common items, but for the most part everything was good (though not exceptional).The 油条 and congee are definitely must haves, the other items are good but I could do without. A good stop for the weekend regardless!
Leo Sun: Xiao long bao is not recommended. The waitress was very rude, demanding 15% tip.
Uyen Nguyen: Well if you ever decide to get up early and grab dim sum for breakfast before 10am, then there isn't a lot of options in Chinatown. This place is one of the few places that opens early. Some dishes are pretty good, some are not. I like their shrimp dumpling - they actually put a decent amount of shrimp in it. The bean curd roll and steamed shrimp rice roll are not bad. Xiao long bao and beef rice roll are not recommended; the xiao long bao barely has any broth and the beef in rice roll is weird.

Yolo Man: I went here with my girlfriend hoping to have a cute china town dinner date. When we walked in there was no one at the door and we were weaved over by one of the ladies who pointed at a table. We were given paper menus and we asked our server what was gluten free (my girlfriend is gluten free) and he pointed at two things. We didn't trust that those were gluten free because one of them said fried in the name... While we were still looking a manager came over and we asked him the same thing. He actually knew what was gluten free on his menu and we ordered from him as well as boba. When we sat down there was tea on the table. Little did we know we'd end up being charged for it. Not just for the pot but for each person.We ordered two dim sum that were mediocre at best and our entrees were awful. My girlfriend got chow foon that was incredibly slimy with no flavor and gave her a stomach ache after only a few bites. My meal was okay but made my stomach sick after leaving the restaurant. Since no one walked by and asked how the food was we weren't able to get anything else. Our drink also never came... Only after calling the manager over many times did we even get the check. We asked to be given one item for free since the food was basically untouched and he said that he could only give 50% off of one item after arguing.Service horrible, food bad, don't expect much. My girlfriend works at a well developed restaurant. You can very well tell that this place is new.
Linda M: 4.5 rounded to 5. They get it right (taste and technique) with their har gaw, steamed black bean spare ribs, deep fried taro dumplings and shrimp n chives dumplings. I just wish the food was served hot and not lukewarm. Lots of choices. The carts are constantly circling in this scaled down version of old Hei La Moon (weekends and holidays only). Avoid the shengjiang manitou (pan fried pork bao) with a pathetic amount of filling (see photo).

Clay Pot Cafe: what do users think?
Joyce Quach: The elderly gentleman owner/waiter is extremely rude to Chinese diaspora who don’t speak Mandarin/Cantonese. Menu is in Chinese and English, however. They also guilt trip you to tip. The eel clay pot dish, price, and during-meal service is good. I would not return unless there’s a change in management.
Matthew Godfrey: Wide selection breakfast to dinner at good prices including eel and frog and best scallion pancakes I've had.Waiter could tell we had no idea, sat down next to us and made recommendations based on how adventurous we were each feeling.Only complaint was that the rice in the clay pot dish was a bit dry but will still get it again.

S Ng: Super affordable food! Small place with fast service. The rice coming out from the claypot is fragrant with the right amount of crunchy. The pork and century egg porridge was good as well!Recommended dishes Claypot Rice …More
Ki Val: Got the preserved duck with rice clay pot. The flavor is remarkable just wish I got more meat than bones. The rice was perfectly crunchy 😋Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
Uyen Nguyen: Claypot rice here is pretty good and they offer a variety of toppings. I think they could make it a little saltier but that's just me. Scallion pancake is okay. Customer service is not that good: we ordered peking ravioli and they never brought it out and didn't say anything. After we checked out and about to leave, they were like oh we ran out of the ingredients 🤷🏻‍♀️ Restaurant is quite small and takes cash only.
Y: Food is ok, service is soso, space is very limited , cash only
Andrea Low: A medium claypot rice and another side dish is definitely enough for two people, stick with Cantonese dishes. Value for moneyRecommended dishes Chicken Chinese Sausage and Bacon Clay Pot Rice …More
Carolyn Lu: Small restaurant and can be slow to get to you since they're only run by a few people, but food is great. The clay pot rice dishes have perfect rice with nice crispy bottoms. Cash only.
James Steve: The best Chinese food In the world
Nicol: 味道不错哦
Catherine Wang: Comforting and flavorful! Order the eel bowl
Adam B: Server doesn’t speak EnglishCASH ONLY/ Vemno I believe, price was excellent.Scallion pancakes and Peking Raviolis was very good . Would definitely go again when I have time and cash.
Yalong Zhou: 咖喱鱼蛋6块多6个,看图就知道,你怎么不去抢啊!点的其他饭味道也真的很难吃!问店员要一双筷子,店员说没有!中餐馆没筷子你开什么中餐馆!
Qingyun Lu: 店面不大,黄鳝煲仔饭还不错,点了小份上的挺快,蚝油芥蓝正常水平。想吃就早点去,提前看好菜单,点的越早就能越早吃上。付现金或者Venmo都可以。
Sam: Cash only hole in the wall. Amazing food at great prices. Clay Pot Rice for $10, century egg porridge for $5. My favorite spot in Chinatown!
Tommy Xia (夏晨阳Tommyxcy): food is decent but they don’t accept card and definitely overcharge, not worth the business here
brianlidawg: This place is super tasty, cheap, and filling! The atmosphere is cozy because it's a small place so come earlier than rush hour! I got the chicken and Chinese sausage hot pot and stir fried yu- choy. They prepare it more traditionally so it's not heavy on salt and all that other stuff, just enough flavoring to be tasty but not overpowering. 10/10 would recommend!

China Gourmet Restaurant: what do users think?
Qimei Ran: 金汤肥牛锅很赞,服务周到、物美价廉!
sasha cheng: 很好吃,金汤肥牛和金沙玉米
Gorey Shang: Bad temperature and environment. Never fill your water. They will ask for tips please don’t go for your own safety
Levi Young: I don't even care if this place is a drug/money laundering front, they gave us wicked good service and amazing food and were super understanding when we had card trouble.Amazing, 10/10 will be eating there again
Kawa: 作为福建人我只能给三星,碗筷海腥味很重,扁食的陷太少,豉汁抄蛤味道可以但是有点点没熟。
queen boston: Great service great food and variety of dishes
Mckenzie Collett: The host was pleasant but the waitress was very rude. Food was average. Only one card per table and $20 minimum on card.
Moses Gao: Not as good as my expectation. This is more like Fujian and Taiwan dish. If you want some Szechuan or Hunan flavor, this is not for you. I hope this place can be cleaner.
Ken Yee: Nice northern Chinese dishes here.... The menu is too large and covers too many regions but they specialize in northern Chinese food and these dishes are definitely good.The sliced beef with watercress could have used a bit more beef but had nice flavor. The fish fillets dish has cabbage and bean sprouts underneath that weren't mentioned on the menu.
eurus gao: They won't give change when you pay cash. I ordered $40 and gave $50 in cash, they didn’t give me the 10 dollar change. Though I also left a tip on the table.The dining environment is also poor. There are bugs and the things on the table is not wiped clean
Ethan: Amazing food, me and 3 friends went out to eat here and had an great time. The staff were also extremely nice when we had a card related issue and needed a moment to sort it out. Highly recommend their mini pork dumplings.There was a decent amount of drink options but all pretty standard stuff that were in bottles or cans.Features: masks are highly encouraged, but not mandatory. all employees seemed to be wearing them. tables seemed clean when we first sat down, and I saw employees cleaning other tables as we ate.
Edward Sun: 店面环境一般,但味道相当不错,超过预期
Judy Y: Lunch special, pick three. Everything is so fresh.
Irina Svitich: The place is small, the food is good and chinese
Guangyang Li: Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: No Takeout: Yes Delivery: Yes Curbside pickup: NoMore
Henry Wong: I ordered two dishes, a cold-dish chicken with ginger and scallion souce and a beef chow fun. The flavor is good but the protein are rough and dry. Not what I expected.
Mr Mister: It was nice and cool, the food was good and cool. Only downside was the loud background noise
Gumba: Excellent authentic food! The only bad taste came from adding a tip to the bill at their own discretion without my knowledge or permission! Terrible!!!
john zhang: I’m a regular customer of this store. I come here to order food every week, but recently I found that there is a phenomenon of shortness of weight. First, the sauerkraut fish I ordered several times was replaced by frozen Lunar fish fillets, and then I ordered live fish every time. There are fewer and fewer slices of boiled live fish that are close to $30. Few pieces of fish are much smaller than before. I didn’t plan to continue looking for this restaurant to order until I ordered more than 70 dollars yesterday. When I went home, I saw that there was one missing item. Cai called and said how could she believe me when she said no, there was no apology, I just hung up the phone and never looked for this store again in the future, there is no integrity and the service quality is poor
toofun77: Fast service, nice staff and good food. A gem in Chinatown.
Zhu Sally: The taste is good, but it is really salty, you can say less salt when ordering!

Empire Garden Restaurant: what do users think?
Crystal HU: Taste is ok, but be aware of the fried rice, usually people use overnight(s) to do the fried rice, the beef fried rice I had (you could see my attached picture), the rices are too hard for people who has periodontal (every bite I had, I had to use my tongue to test before I chew … really afraid one bite will take my weak teeth out of my mouth, if it’s really happen, should the restaurant pay for the dental) …service is not really good … feeling pushed and imposed … just checked they tip themselves for a few dollars more than the original one signed … great fraud …
Edurnezuri * ;o): Best Dim Sum in Chinatown Boston!
Suna Lee: Interior was amazing and the food was great
Connor: off-putting atmosphere and mediocre foodFood: 2/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More
Cely Dalomba: My husband and I went here for the first time because I love dim sum. The food was fresh, fast and very good we definitely will come again. Everyone was very nice and helpful.

Colm Whelan: Quintessential Chinese restaurant. I enjoy its atmosphere and style.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Hannah Madaus: Really wanted to like this spot, but it didn’t hit the mark. We were seated towards the back, so we got a great look at the interior, however we didn’t see many food carts come our way. When we did get service, I enjoyed their pork dumplings but it wasn’t anything spectacular.
Aminollah Maghanitoroqi (Amin): It's a very fantastic place based on their culture, and so much delicious food
C Policastro: Food was bland and expensive even for the area. Most dim sum was gone and hard to order since they were out of everything. Menu has no prices which is terrifying as you dont know what your paying for.Food: 2/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More
Dan Qiao: I ate dim sum there Yesterday, I feel the food quality is under average, but more significant is the bad service quality. One lady working there was very rude to me, making it my worst dining experience ever. I will never go there again.
Vasilis: Good food overall. Don’t except anything fancy. We liked pretty much everything except the duck (which was still ok). Service was ok but could be better. The atmosphere is definitely…unique; The restaurant is in an old theater..!
Frandly Alexander: I have not been there since I was young glad to see it still around the food was great as always but I would like to see a more modern interior. I know it's supposed to have a nostalgic feel to it but it could use a little bit of work! Again it works for me but I have heard others say that it looks rundown on the inside and that is due to the younger crowd that now frequent the establishment! Just a thought!
Harriet Barnes-Duke: Best chicken feet I've ever had!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Sesame Balls, Dim Sum, Chicken Feet …More
Piotr Wronski: Not reccomended for a quick lunch for one. You'll be overwhelmed by number of servers annoyingly offering you more and more, plus no menu with prices. But food was good, very tasty dim sums.
Andrea Szabo: The food was good but there was limited selection of dishes for weekend dim sum. The same dishes came around and we needed up re-ordering the same things just to get more food.
chi zhang: 开业时间很早👍,方便
Amy Lee: Worse disrespectful service I’ve ever dealt with.fyi- they don’t ask if you want the tea they just bring it to your table and add the 5.00 charge.
Alan Pfersch (Al): Big restaurant. Mostly empty when we were there. Bit pushy with the drinks.Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Derek Delgado: Hospitality was lacking and felt forced. service seemed like we were inconveniencing the staff. Lo mein was dry and flavorless but portion was large. Too much for one person. I wasn't a fan of the dumplings or the dim sum. The wrappings were too thick. Beef buns were good.Food: 2/5|Service: 2/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
