I was visiting Chicago for the week and walked by this place, I was not disappointed either. It is easily the best food I had while in town. My waitress gave lots of recommendations and even showed me how to eat soup dumplings. This will be the first place I visit for dinner when I'm in town again.

Loved the deep flavor profiles of the jasmine smoked pork ribs & the lamb with cumin was yummy. We shared two apps & should have shared one entree - especially if you decide to add sides of rice (so so good-tea infused) or green beans (also good). Prices are consistent with the area so a bit pricey.
I saw this place in a post on Eater and wanted to try it because of the colorful soup dumplings and unique desserts. I was worried that it might not live up to the hype, but it was incredible! The different flavors of the soup dumplings were all delicious (spicy, cheese, truffle, crab, pork, and duck), and the Jasmine tea ribs were tender with a great texture, but had a unique smoky flavor that I'm not used to. We ordered the lotus blossom for dessert and were treated to a nice show. The dessert itself was so satisfying, I definitely could have had another one. Im so happy with my experience here!
I had a nice experience here last week. I came here on a Thursday evening around 7 and was seated without having a reservation. The atmosphere is nice- casual yet classy vibe with nice music and appropriate lighting. Our waiter was great - he was bale to recommend his favorites as well as the most popular dished on the menu. We ended up ordering the steamed buns, the xiao long bao sampler, and shrimp fried rice. All were great - would definitely come back!
Excellent Chinese restaurant in the loop. Excellent service as well, the staff couldn't have been any better. Dim sum is awesome, rainbow dumplings would great and the fried rice and spring rolls were excellent as well. Ending the night with the Lunar Blossom was perfect.
Made a reservation here for a celebration dinner. The atmosphere is amazing. I loved the decor. I recommend trying the xiao baos and ending the meal with the lunar blossom dessert. The staff were friendly and kind. I would love to come back and try other things on the menu.
Absolutely amazing dumplings! You can watch the chef making dumplings from scratch.
There’s another chef making hand pull noodles as well.
No doubt the best dim sum in Chicago, San Francisco and New York Chinatown.
Service was excellent.
However, dinner was a little bit disappointing. The roast duck was quite ordinary, not the Peking style roast duck but the cheaper Cantonese cousin. Yet, it wasn’t cheap. For a quarter duck with sauce and pancakes, that’s $30. Comparing to New York price - $80 for the whole duck Peking style, that’s overpriced especially in Chicago. Other dinner dishes are ok but not amazing.
Better to come here for lunch dim sum.
Nice spot for Asian classics and some modern twists. I brought my friends here for their soup dumplings. We ordered them classic ones the red sejuan ones and the green duck ones. They were pretty good with enough soup inside to make it interesting. The biggest surprise of the evening was the noodle soup with short rib. Will for sure order that again next time.
Delicious food and great decor. I do wish they'd upgrade their dishware because that felt too cheap compared to the quality of their food. The egg custard buns and soup dumplings were absolutely perfect. We also saw a chef give a small child noodle dough so they could mime pulling noodles while he pulled noodles actually. It gave me a warm feeling.
We went on December 25 for our annual Jewish Christmas celebration. The Lamian noodles are made to order and we were able to watch the process through the glass window. It was a really great meal; I can't wait to go back. I crave the beef fried Lamian noodles now everyday. The egg yolk greens beens were amazing. The egg yolk was like a tempura crust on the beans! The dumplings exploded delicious in my mouth. And the wontons were soaked in amazing brown liquid love. So so good.
What an amazing place, loved it.
We were roaming around hubbard and found out this place, luckily we got the reservation ( since its pandemic time).
They accomodated us very well, victor was very informative and kind.
We had sapporo beer,
Beef and chicken, smoky noodles ( lamian), chilli chicken , kung pao chicken and dumplings!
Everything was just perfectly cooked and delicious.
Definitely definitely recommend.

What a fantastic spot for dim sum! We stopped in Monday for lunch and were treated to stellar food and service.
We were a party of 3 seated right away (no wait) and our server immediately greeted us with waters. She explained the menu and how things worked. We ended up ordering 4 different dumplings and 4 other dim sums of all different varieties including mushroom, gruyere, truffle (like real truffle not truffle oil truffle), szechuan, bao, etc. Basically 4 different dumplings and 4 different dim sums. Everything was amazing though the truffle dumplings were my favorite. I will be back to try other things too!!
