OMG the dumplings are mouth watering! We tried the pork & cabbage steamed style dumplings, beef kabob, wagyu and onion fried beef dumplings and Si Fang Beer. The wagyu onion soup dumplings are delicious but I recommend sipping the broth out first before biting them as it can get super messy. The pork and cabbage are also mouth watering and not as messy. I also recommend mixing the vinegar and soy sauce together for some extra flavor on your dumplings. Also don’t forget to take home some frozen dumplings.Wheelchair accessibility: Would be a bit difficult. Has very narrow entrance and small seating area.

The food here was absolutely terrific! I had never had dumplings before, and now I can’t wait to have them again. I want to try everything on the menu. We got fried wagyu beef and onion dumplings along with steamed shrimp & pork dumplings. Both were excellent. It’s hard to pick if I like steamed or fried better. Also got the cucumber salad. I had no clue what to expect for taste, and I was pleasantly surprised. If you haven’t ready already, the cucumber salad has a little heat to it! I ordered out, but next time I want to dine in. There is a parking lot right across from the restaurant. We will be back soon.

This is a dumpling place and doesn’t have a full dim sum menu. It was good but not great.

I ordered steamed lamb and coriander dumplings, braised beef with brown sauce, and grilled lamb kebab for take out. Pick up was seamless and the food was great. The dumplings definitely lived up to their reputation: delicious filling with hearty broth and delicate wrappers. I absolutely loved how flavorful the beef with brown sauce was. Though the portion was quite small for the price, the dish was an umami-garlicky bomb. Note that this dish might not be for everyone because it was served cold. Lamb skewers were packed with spices, tender, and delectably smoky. I'll have to return to try other types of dumplings.

The only downside is there waitlist service kept showing an error which may have been a one-day thing, but did affect our experience.

Excellent food and exceptional customer service! We've been 4 times and it never let's us down!
Steamed lamb dumplings were good, the lamb skewers were way too fatty with pieces we couldn’t eat . Wouldn’t go back . Servers were amazing but they wanted us in and out as fast as possible even on a very slow day with half the tables empty. Expect to pay atleast $35 pp.Parking: They don’t validate the pricey parking lot !! You will pay the full expensive price and not the $2 for 3 hours that you get with validation at most other Chinatown restaurants .

Great service, great atmosphere, great food and super expensive. I was aching for the 6 tiny skewers at $17.I know it's the price because of the manufacturing and all the know-how etc... but I was expecting a little more consistency all the same.Despite this, the ravioli are excellent and the service is perfect.I recommend !

Such a fantastic lunch stop yesterday! The pork and dill dumplings were my favorite, but the shrimp were delightful as well. We did ours steamed and added some of the beef kebab which were very flavorful. This will definitely be on our list for future Chicago trips!
