SO INCREDIBLE. the chaushou & its sauce is incredible, so it the smoked fish & ITS sauce. the meatball was so great & the soup dumplings are a must. we also got the pork belly noodle soup, shredded pork & salted veggie noodle soup, and pan-fried flat noodle. all of those were great, the broth was relatively mild, but very soothing for a winter day. thank you so much for serving us!!

Incredible food, the best noodles and wontons I’ve ever had. Kind and attentive server who was in charge of the whole restaurant but did an amazing job. Super friendly, welcoming and other customers made it feel like a homey place. Will 1,000,000% come back! The chaoshou is the gem of the menu, truly delicious.

I can’t say enough about how incredible this place is. First of all, these are hands down the best soup dumplings and Shanghainese dishes in Cleveland! Second, the two ladies that work up front work extremely hard every single day that the restaurant is open. They provide some of the best service I’ve ever received and they know their customers extremely well. Every time I walk in, I’m welcomed with warm enthusiasm and hilarious banter. They truly go above and beyond. I couldn’t ask for more from a restaurant!
