very authentic chinese cuisine, their cold chicken appetizers has a fair amount of chicken considering the price of the dish. we also ordered their scullion oil noodle, the noodles were sticking together & the dish was cold when delivered. despite the coldness of the dish everything was good. recommend the chili oil wonton, very nice taste & the filling was very tasty. would come back again!

We are returning! A top place for noodles, dumplings, chicken rice/dishes, & amuse bouche appetizers. Don't forget to try their speciality plum juice! Well done team with friendly service 👍🏻👍🏻

Don't know how authentic their Hainanese chicken is, but it tasted unbelievably bland. Would not recommend if you're looking for a flavorful experience.

Stopped by here with my lady for a quick lunch & it was perfect! Not too pricy, looks very nice, & the food came out quick!! We both got rice bowls & they fill you up - I have a black hole for a stomach so that was an important factor for me.
Good stuff!!

This is a hidden gem. The food is wonderful - you have a great selection of northern & southern Chinese food - & it's very delicious. Terracotta rice / clay pot rice is just like what you can get in Hong Kong. We arrived at around 12:40PM on a Friday & the food was served quite quickly. Reasonable portion for a reasonable price, I would even say it's a bargain because how delicious it was. Restaurant is very clean & staff is very nice. I would definitely come back here again.

Les wontons sont excellents. Les rouleaux également.

Boeuf braisé pas bon. La saveur ok, mais la moitié du plat est du gras, des tendons & des bouts croquants. Un boeuf braisé devrait être tendre .... sans tous les bouts pas très mangeables.

Interesting menu, a bit on the expensive side but given the location - makes sense. Would like to come back & be more adventurous - try the intestines. The potato appetizer was super refreshing had only heard about it from people travelling near Tibet - finally tried it here.
