This is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to in the United States, and I say that as a NYC resident originally from Beijing who has visited all of the major (and plenty of minor) Chinatowns, so it really is high praise. The reason I say it’s authentic is because it’s clear that the owners and staff are all from Beijing / northern China, as you can hear that they have the Beijing accent when speaking Chinese. We ordered dumplings, bao, meat pancake, and hot pot and all were delicious, well-portioned, and seasoned. The entire time we were eating there was a table of ladies making fresh dumplings in the back. Given it’s hidden location, nondescript decor, and no-nonsense service, this place has to rely on the food to make a name for itself, and I believe it definitely lives up to its name.
Price-wise, it’s not super cheap at about $12 per entree but the taste and reasonable portions make up for it.
I tried for the 1st time real hand-crafted hot dumplings (Dim Sum), hot pot dishes, and traditional Chinese food. This is a must stop and try everything kind of place. I ate so many different soup dumplings. So many that the ladies in the back taught me how they roll out dumplings. Great Job!
This is a legit hole in the side wall.
We ordered hot & sour soup, Shanghai soup dumplings, garlic eggplant, pork pan fried dumplings, hot soy milk, and fried crullers.
I’ve found my spot for hot & sour soup 🍲! My partner enjoyed their soup dumplings. Their garlic eggplant was really good, just a bit sweeter than expect but still very good!
It’s a relatively small place so be patient, great food takes time.
