The restaurant is very small, only 5 or 6 tables inside, and has a very cosy feeling.
The food is just amazing. The noodles are outstanding. Small bowl but packed full of flavour. Would recommend getting two bowls - only 6 pounds per bowl.
Go here if you like noodles, if you don’t, go anyway and you’ll be converted.
There is always a queue as they don’t have many tables, and don’t expect high end service.
It’s definitely a place where you eat and leave as there will be people waiting for your table.
Be prepared to wait for your order though, there's only 2 people running the whole show. But it's worth the wait.
Try calling ahead for takeout if waiting is an issue.
pork and chive dumplings - 10/10
xiao long bao - 10/10
noodles with beef brisket - 9/10
It’s a small store with limited seats, and they serve each table’s order one by one, making a long-waited queue no matter outside or even seated at tables. But you can see how it worth when people are still coming during dining time and willing to wait
I ordered a glass of warm soyamilk with half sugar, which was completely a rescue on a windy and freezing night. Savouries are very outstanding. Beef brisket noodle soup is good, with the brisket cooked perfectly to chew out. The Wonton soup is my favorite, where the juicy and stuffy mixture of pork and vegetables are covered by transparent skin, soaking in the salty soup. The juice just exploded in your mouth when you took a bite.
Xiao Long Bao is the must-try. It is slightly bigger than what’s in an usual restaurant, but I don’t think it’s any less than wonderful.
I personally think the skin of dumpling is too thick, I can somehow taste the flavor of flour. And it could be even better if the soup (generally) can be less salty. But overall I still consider it a very highly-rated restaurant.
Cash only. Card payment is not acceptable
