Incredibly sweet owner/staff, just makes you feel right at home, so kind & patient, gave us recommendations that were the best, we took the pork dumplings, delicious, the claypot rice with meat, so the meat tastes like bacon I would say, it doesn't look like it but that's the flavor I got, sooooo good, the rice is crispy at the bottom, I flipped it & took a picture of that, it's delicious, the best was the soup, it's beef broth & the meat, OMG it fell apart in my mouth, it was so tender I was able to give it to our toothless chihuahua, she just gobbled it up, that soup has the best tasting broth, better than a lot of the Pho places in Chinatown. Very reasonable prices, we ordered 3 dishes & it cost us 70$ with 18% tip. Will definitely be back!
