Great xiao long bao and pork fried noodles. We had a nice and decently quick meal, everything was good and the owner was friendly. Note: that's a double order of noodles.

like being in a living room with your grandpa as the chef… except the xlb are totally top tier. veggies are delicious too— many dishes have this added citrus component (yuzu?). stir fried dishes slightly heavy on oil but every noodle and dumpling wrapper are perfectly Q, worth the wait

My friend and I shared two serves of the xiao king bao and a plate of steamed cabbage and tomatoes. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. Restaurant is very friendly to English speakers. Highly recommend checking out if you are looking for authentic homemade food.
