Found this in my fried rice. It can cut my digestive tract if I swallowed it. Horrifying!

Saturday they changed the soup container size ( half of the regular size) with the same price.
I’m not going back anymore.

Wife and I came here for a quick early dinner. Ordered one order of the soup dumpling sampler, hot and sour soup and the scallion noodles. The scallion noodles and the soup were bland to the point of being almost inedible, with the soup in particular tasting like it was straight out of one of those powdered soup packets yet even more watered down. Seriously, I cannot reiterate enough how terrible the hot and sour soup was... It was the worst I've ever had. The soup dumplings, though, were actually pretty good - flavorful and delicious, although the dipping sauce was not particularly good. I recommend eating the dumplings by themselves without it. Overall though, not particularly pleased with the quality.

SUPERB soup dumplings - we had pork and crab with pork. The fried pork chive dumplings were good but only lightly fried - and definitely at their best when freshly delivered.

We loved this place! Lots of great dumpling options- we tried the chicken soup dumplings and the rainbow soup dumplings- which is one of each flavor- and we loved them all! Lots of flavor. We also tried the pork Bao and the crab now both of which were very tasty. Service was fast too
