    This is not Chinese food. The scallion Pancake was like a thick flour tortilla chip sprinkled with a few green onions. The noodles had zero taste. It's truly mall food.

    This restaurant shouldn't accept tips. I dined in and paid a tip. There are inside tables but there is no server. You have to pick up your food yourself. If I pay a tip, I expect you to bring food to me and also clean up after I am done. But I had to clean up myself because there is no server. Moreover, there is no trash can inside. I genuinely want to ask what tips are for. You shouldn't accept tips if a dining in customer does all the work. The table was dirty also. I cleaned the surf ace of the table myself. Please don't accept tips if there is no extra service. That's just not right.

    Low key this place is kinda slept on. A mall is not where you’d expect really good Chinese food, but I tried this place once and haven’t looked back. I got the pan-fried buns (生煎包). I give the taste a 9/10 on authenticity (which is very high for the US). I also got the fried rice. It’s okay. Could use more seasoning. It is also a little pricey, but I think overall $15 for a soda, fried rice, and 6 buns is not the worst for eating out.

    I ordered the chow mein and it was extremely salty. When I tried to dilute it with a bit of water, I realized the meat wasn’t fresh.

    It's hard to complain about a fast food chinese place since its nice to just have options other than Panda Express, but people need to know that this place is extremely subpar even for Taiwanese/Chinese fast food dumplings. It is a disgraceful introduction to the real thing. This review is for the Beef Noodle, Steamed Pork/Shrimp dumplings, fried rice and hot sour soup. Good idea, good concept, poor execution unfortunately. P.S. I cleaned my own table to not sit down in stickiness and soy sauce, that did not add to the experience, thanks for leaving a rag and cleaner out for customers after they are asked to tip 15-25% for to-go only service.
