I visited this place on a Wednesday in the afternoon. The service and atmosphere was wonderful. I was looking to eat some dim sum and the quality is 5 out 10. It tasted like it was heated up from a market bought dumplings. But the egg plant stir fry was yummy and the salt and pepper calamari was awesome!

Love, love, love Shanghai Bun. Great cocktails (can’t beat the Singapore Sling), all manner of delicious steamed and fried bao buns, and rolls. I love the duck slider in the lotus bun, but you can grab the lotus trio to sample the pork belly and bulgogi too. 😚🤌

Not bad - prices are very good. Soup dumplings are always good - although the first time I ever got them I found a hair and a piece of bone in the meat. The vegetable egg drop soup is amazing. The cucumber salad was so sweet I could not eat it - tasted like candy. All of dishes I've had have been satisfying. I was hoping this place would be a cozy little Chinese ambience to enjoy some dumplings but turns out it's more like an American sports bar. The dine in food tastes far better than the take out.

We've been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time, so finally today we did to celebrate Chinese New Year! Now we know what we've been missing, but not anymore! What a gem hiding in plain sight! A must try for all the locals! But shhhhh

Decent spot to get some flavorful soup dumplings at a fair price! Our entree we got was from the wok chicken with the Szechuan sauce and trimmings. My only complaint was that it was very sweet. However it did come beautifully cooked with a large portion of chicken and wonderfully stir fried veggies. Service left something to be desired, but they got the job done.

My husband and I stopped in for some snacks and beverages after running some errands in the area. Took advantage of their happy hour, and we are so happy we did! Great selection of small plates of dim sum and appetizer selections, and they have a decent beer selection (didn't check out the wine). TVs at the bar, tables inside and out back in a patio area. We will make this a regular stop!
