"The dining room at this restaurant in The Triangle is small and cozy, thanks in large part to a bunch of French bistro tables crammed together under long rows of hanging paper lanterns that cast a warm glow. Dumplings and noodles are the centerpieces here—and they’re evenly matched—but don’t let that push you away from bowls of steamed eggs with ground pork, savory beef pancake rolls, or a dozen other small plates worth trying. Ordering takes place on your phone, and within the span of about two minutes, your table will be filled with bowls of wontons swimming in fiery chili oil, baskets of xiao long bao, and other Sichuanese specialties." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
