"Service and logistics can falter when the place is busy — patrons may be asked to order in a separate area and to‑go timing has been unreliable — but many dishes make the return worthwhile. The pork-and-chive pan‑fried dumplings (order of 10) delighted, though the tableside vinegar won’t suit everyone; beef and broccoli features bright green steamed florets and tender meat in a vibrant, well‑balanced brown sauce. Other wins include lemongrass chicken soup dumplings (texture and flavor on point), hot-and-sour soup, and addictively dry‑sautéed green beans. Minor critiques: the Thai‑style udon’s vegetables could be firmer, and the orange chicken’s sauce runs a touch too sweet for some tastes." - Erin Russell
