I enjoyed their dumplings, visibly made in house, and house made noodles. Loved their soup dumpings (Xiao long bao), which contain hot broth inside the dumplings. Eat with a spoon!

Abosolutely terrible service, the person "helping" us was extremely rude. Never coming back and definitely don't recommend this place.

Extremely rude staff person who has a very, very, bad attitude. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Came here on Chinese New Year, because I missed having real Chinese festive food. Ordered the fried pork dumplings and the spicy chicken noodle soup. The dumplings have decent fillings, but the dough was too dry (probably forzen) before fried, and is thus too hard rather than crispy. The ramen noodle in the soup is cheap pre-made noodle that is commonly sold in most asian markets, and not ramen; the broth resembles common pho broth, which isn't bad, just not what you would expect. The price is too steep for the level of food served, but I guess the location dictates the price. The owner a very nice southern Chinese lady, who earnestly listens to suggestions. Supposedly, the restaurant is going to be under different management next month, and I will update afterwards.

We were in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area for 8 days, and got plenty of Tex-mex food, so much so that I needed a break for Asian food. Hole in the wall restaurant at the end of a shopping mall, farthest from the end next to the Plaza in Santa Fe. Place clean and attractive with the usual pictures and décor from the homeland. Bathrooms downstairs and require a code to enter. Ordered take out food of $10.50 chicken with rice, and $11.95 orange chicken, waiting 10 minutes even though we were the only customers at that time. We walked to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, spending half an hour there, and then another 10 minutes to get to our condo, before eating the meal. The white chicken was moist with cilantro-lime juices (this is New Mexico) and full of juices from the cooked sliced mushroom, and came with white rice. Decent portion size. The orange chicken was round chunks of white chicken cooked in a very light orange sauce, so that you could taste both the chicken and the orange flavoring. Came with white rice. Good portion size. Good enough to rival the Panda Express down the street from our condo. We are probably the first customers not to order noodle at this Chinese noodle restaurant, as wife not into eating Chinese noodles -she's white. I've ordered Chinese food in such areas as Kalispiel Montana, Mariposa CA, Jasper Alberta, Dawson City Yukon and now Santa Fe New Mexico, all places with no Chinese. My axiom of "Don't order Chinese food in places with no Chinese" is broken here, with good Americanized Chinese food. Granted, it's not up to Dean C of San Jose standards!

This is a ma and pa shop, and it's a gem! It's located inside a small mall. I was tired of Tex-mex food and needed to satisfy my Asian food craving. This place did not disappoint. You order at the front and you seat yourself. You also get your own utensils and water. Hubby and I came here for lunch and had no problem getting seats. We ordered the: Fried chicken wings (which I thought were ok, pretty standard) Rangoon (filled with cream cheese and crab, which I think was one of the best I've ever had) Chicken shumai (absolutely delicious, it had some rice in it which made them look fatter) Spicy beef vermicelli soup (very delicious!) They have a lot vegetarian options and their meat is organic (which is a big plus, in my book). Ambiance is cute (definitely hole in the wall, small restaurant vibe). If you have a huge party, like 20 people, they have outside, indoor seating (if that makes sense). Service was good. Highly recommend this place!

Family owned and carefully prepared and served. This is a delightful change from NM food and is good value for being located right on the Plaza in Plaza Galeria. Try the seaweed salad and dumplings...yummy

Visiting from Colorado, seeing family in Albuquerque and made a day trip to Santa Fe. My boyfriend (New Mexico native) were looking for some delicious New Mexican food, but passed by this little gem in one of the plazas while doing some shopping and it caught our eye. Cute, quaint place, owned by a lovely lady along with her mother and husband. Order at the counter, small menu makes the decision making really simple which is awesome! Started with the steamed (can choose fried, steamed, or placed in soup) pork dumplings and they were delightful pockets of love (not pre made, you can tell) accompanied with a light sauce. I chose the Chicken Noodle Soup and my boyfriend (not a huge soup eater) decided on Loyo Pork Noodle Soup (spicy) in which all the soup dishes you may choose udon, vermicelli, or ramen noodles. We were blow away at how delicate and wonderful everything was, the ambiance, service, quality of broth, and how delightful it was. We enjoyed every bite and continued to talk about how that was some of the best tastiest we've had in a while!! Recommend highly it's real food, cooked by real people that love what they do!

Very good dumplings, not the most flavorful (I love ginger and lots of spices. Veggie dumplings were interesting. Both pork and veggie dumplings were purple inside (maybe purple cabbage). Perfect shape and texture, but slightly bland. Lots of chili sauce on the table to help them ot though. Very filling and amazing service.
Absolutely increadible! What a treat to have a local Chinese resturant h et fe in downtown Santa fe. AND they are family owned! I love their soups. What a treat to have traditional Chinese cuisine here in a local mall.

Great place with very friendly staff and fantastic tasty fresh food. Loved the noodle soup. But you should first try the spring rolls. They are crispy fresh and taste amazing.

Our family was Santa Fe for one day and decided to try this place for lunch. The menu was pretty small, the food was not good and the price was high. We were really disappointed and left without finishing our food.

Good taste Chinese food in Santa Fe. Definitely check it out if you want to have something light. We ordered noodle and dumplings. They mixed purple cabbage with pork in dumplings and taste really good.
