• ★★★★½ Spare Ribs Beef Ribs Shrimp Shumai Chive Dumplings Char Siu Bao Visited Aug 4, 2021

  Good Variety, Somewhat Small Portions For The Price, Flavor Is Hit Or Miss

  This was my second visit, and this time we tried around seven different items, including pork buns, tripe, dumplings, chive and shrimp dumplings, beef, pork belly, and custard buns. Overall, everything was good, although some items were better than others.
  
  The chive and shrimp dumplings and custard buns were among my favorites. The pork with sesame oil was decent, but not as good as it was during my first visit. I also tried the short ribs on my first visit, which I enjoyed, but this time I accidentally ordered a different beef dish that wasn't nearly as good this time.
  
  Ordering here can be a bit confusing. Not everything available is listed on the paper menu, and many items come with different portion-size options. I actually struggled to reorder some of the dishes I enjoyed during my first visit, which made it easy to end up with something different than expected.
  
  Most items average around $5 per order, with only 3 or 4 pieces per order. Making it fairly easy to sample several different dishes without spending too much, but also making each order not all that filling especially if your sharing the order.
  
  I'd consider coming back for a third visit. Now that I've tried more of the menu, I have a better idea of which items I enjoy and which ones I probably wouldn't order again.
