The 13 Hottest Restaurants in Orlando Right Now

"Lines are a given at this tourist sector outpost of the famed New York City restaurant serving dumplings of every sort, including excellent xiao long bao in pork, chicken, and pork/crab varieties. Chef Peter Song, who shuttles between both cities, also happens to be a master at hand-pulled noodles, of which the beef with chili oil sets tongues awagging—other items to consider: Bracing cucumber salad, scallion pancakes, and plump veggie steamed dumplings." - Faiyaz Kara

This was our first time here, and the food was generally good. The kids loved the beef patties and popcorn chicken nuggets. The pumpkin pancakes and xiaolongbao were also good. However, I wouldn't recommend the spicy fish, as it had too many Sichuan peppercorns and the fish didn't taste very good. The overall environment was nice, the restrooms were clean, there were dolls at the entrance for photos, and parking was convenient.

The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and one of the servers who speaks Chinese was especially friendly. We tried four of the Bib Gourmand–recommended dishes: wonton soup, duck bun, Shanghai veggie bun, and beef roll. The wontons were plump and tasty, the duck bun was flavorful, and the beef roll was wonderfully crispy. The cucumber appetizer was a hit with everyone, and the stir-fried noodles were also very good. The noodle soup was more average, but overall the experience was great.

We ordered delivery after a long day at the parks and were astounded by the quality of the food! The hand pulled noodle soups were exceptional, particularly the spicy beef. It was packed with flavor and the beef itself was melt in your mouth tender. The pork soup dumplings were to die for and were filled with delicious fatty brothy goodness. This was definitely the best food we had during our visit to Orlando.

Finally found some decent soup dumplings. One of my favorite foods from my travels. These soups dumplings are larger than you will find in the famous din tai. So be aware that they are not small and bite size. They are almost double the size. They are delicious. The Shanghai fried dumplings are also fantastic. We made reservations but it was still pretty empty (off peak) but they do recommend reservations for peak dinner times. The food here was super good and I plan to return one day.

Good soup dumplings though ours were a bit overcooked. The cucumber salad, while not the smashed garlic cucumber salad we were craving, were very good as was the sliced beef appetizer. The scallion pancake with beef and pan fried pork buns were the star of the show here. We also had the duck noodles, which were very good as well. The dining room was clean and basic, and service was excellent. Definitely recommend a stop if you want some above average dumplings.

Restaurant was great. Everyone was friendly. The food was very fresh and tasted amazing. I ate the stirfry noodles and Pork Xiao Long Bao which was delicious! If you’re in the Orlando area, definitely try this place will be back for sure!

Only three tables were occupied when we went in. Once we were seated the only waitress, who is from Thailand ignored us for 15 minutes! Did not even ask us if we wanted water or not, which she did with new customers who came after us. She took our order which took another 15 minutes to come and she never came back to our table! Very bad customer service which ruined the experience. We've eaten here before but will never again come back nor refer this restaurant to any of our friends.

Everybody was kungfu fighting.. the urge not to order more food! There are so many options here at Kungfu Kitchen, all delicious and fun in their own ways if you're a foodie you'll want to just try one of everything on the menu. Alas, we definitely did over order even for a group of 3. Couldn't be helped to a point- the steamed dumpling buns were probably my favorite due to the whole experience of eating them a certain way. Make sure you have your dumpling spoon, a bit of soy sauce on it, poke a whole in the dumpling them slowly slurp/ eat the thing. Salty and tangy and delicious. They have some amazing dessert puffs too that cannot be missed out on. The pumpkin ones were decent but the taro ones- oh man, we almost ordered another set to go because they were so dreamy. They look so unamusing from the outside, just brown bread with some seeds on top, but inside they are doughy and soft and sweet and melt in your mouth. Even the whole atmosphere here was so nice, it's a clean and well decorated restaurant and adds to the fun. Your taste buds will surely be kungfu fighting after a visit here!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! One of the best, if not the best, place to go for soup dumplings! Moving from the northeast, I've searched for good xiao long baos at numerous places and this is by far the best. It doesn't come in those random foil containers, they don't cheat you on the meat to bao ratio, and they don't just give you 3-4 four to one container. It's juicy, meaty, and steaming hot when it hits the table .. just the way it's suppose to be! (Oh man I'm getting hungry again).. During lunch and dinner time, good luck getting a table. The wait time can get up to 40-50 minutes depending when you go, but they're efficient. Just look at the menu while you wait so you can order right away cause it does take a while cause people order a lot The scallion pancake is decent but nothing special. I do enjoy the wonton soup from time to time. I come here quite often because it's that good!

Since my prior review, we've returned a few times and it appears that they've now gotten into a great flow of service, quality, and flavor! Pork & Shrimp Wonton Soup: The soup is heavy on the vegetable flavor but it's a nice and light accompaniment to the dumplings. Scallion Pancake with Sliced Beef: Always a crowd favorite, I appreciate that the pancake is crispy but not oily and dipped in the hoisin sauce makes it perfectly salty sweet! Pork Xiaolongbao: Really great all around, but I did notice that the dumpling skin across all the dumplings is really thick compared to others I've had. I was also curious as to why they stopped providing ginger, vinegar, and chili oil with this dish. Pork & Shrimp Steamed Dumplings: The filling was great, sort of tasting like a shumai but in a dumpling with a large chunk of shrimp! But once again, that dumpling skin is really thick. Overall, I'm glad to see that this place is here to stay in the LBV area, as it's a great restaurant away from the food of the theme parks!

This was my first time trying Kungfu, and it was a very enjoyable experience! My favorite dish was the street noodles--they were delicious. The eggs were a bit overcooked for my preference, but everything else was flavorful and well-prepared. The chicken steamed wontons were a standout--so juicy and tasty! The service was excellent; the servers were attentive and quick to take care of us. The restaurant itself is spacious with nice décor, though the lighting felt a little too bright, which gave it more of a casual vibe. Parking can be a bit tricky since the lot is shared with other businesses in the plaza, but overall, it was a great visit and I'd definitely come back.

It was our second visit to this place. We stopped by for dinner and were seated right away. The decor inside was nice and cute with bamboo steamer baskets on the wall. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We ordered wonton soup, hand cut beef noodle soup, pork soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, house special stir fry hand cut noodles and sliced beef in chili oil. All the dishes were delicious. I especially enjoyed the beef noodle soup. We would definitely stop by here again if we're in the area.

This is a fantastic dumpling and xiao long bao gem! All the different entrees we tried were fantastic, and it truly lives up to all the hype. Service was also great- the staff were friendly, fast and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Ambiance is A+!

4.5 Stars We come here for the Pork Xiao Long Bao and the Hand-Cut Stir-Fried Noodles (Shrimp). They have other stuff on the menu, but the hand-cut noodles and the soup dumplings are the star of the menu. We've also tried the noodle soup with hand-cut noodles with duck and a few other dishes, but we found that the duck we got that day was a bit too bony. The broth was super flavorful, but I prefer the stir-fry noodles. Be sure to ask for the chili oil (but be careful because it packs a kick). If you come a little before 6p, there's usually not a wait, but be prepared to wait a bit if you come around peak dinner hours. Service is always fantastic and the servers here are fast and friendly. It's also super well decorated and I thought they did a great job including Neo-Chinese elements.

Must get the taro puff. It was so soft and flaky!!! We waited till the crazy hype died down, wasnt't going to stand in line. Went on a Sunday around 1pm. Scored a table right away without the silly wait. Of course you have to get the pork soup dumplings. Also did the crab dumpling as well. Bok choy with mushroom bun and the taro puff. They didn't have the pig ear which was a bummer. Everything was delicious. Service was ok, they came by to refill our waters a few times. Would recommend.

I was here about a year ago with family and decided to uber eats the delivery upon coming back to Orlando for a business trip. The shanghai pan fried pork buns are so good. I also felt the shrimp dumplings were fresh and the wrapper was so soft and chewy (in a good way). The chicken xiaolong bao were just ok. Same with the cucumbers.

Check in at the kiosk when you arrive--super easy and efficient. We came on a Sunday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the very short wait despite a packed restaurant. Service was quick, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Favorites (in order): 1. Scallion Pancake with Sliced Beef - perfectly crispy and flavorful 2. Beef Stir Fry Handcut Noodles - great texture & good flavors 3. Steamed Chicken Xiao Long Bao - juicy and disappeared quickly. Also really liked the Steamed Chicken Dumplings -- everything we tried was tasty and well-prepared. The only letdown was the Shanghai Spring Rolls. You get just two small rolls for nearly $8, which didn't feel worth the price. I'd skip those next time -- feels like a high-margin item. Ambiance was pleasant. My daughter commented on how much she liked the comfy, U-shaped chairs. Overall, a solid meal and great service. We'll definitely be back (minus the spring rolls)!

Great find down in Orlando. Wonderful soup dumplings worth a try as well has beef soup with hand cut noodles. Perfect rich and flavorful broth with just the right balance of soft yet slightly chewy noodles. Beef tendon appetizer also delicious with slightly numbing spice. Would definitely recommend as well even thought about returning a second night in a row!

Listen, you know the food is good when you barely get photos and some of the dishes are half-enjoyed! I'm so glad we finally got to try Kungfu Kitchen! For those who are curious about more dim sum-style dishes, I feel like this place is the perfect first step-- most menu items are approachable and even favorites like xiao long bao have options for chicken instead of pork! We visited on a day when it was quite packed, but service was prompt and friendly. Plus, it's a lovely atmosphere with lots of sunlight! I loved everything we tried-- I truly can't choose a favorite! So go, stop questioning what you're having for lunch or dinner and just go to Kungfu Kitchen!

I can't wait to go back and try more. Every item we had was excellent and I'm bummed that I didn't go with a big group to try more of the menu. Kungfu is a super cute spot that was perfect for a late lunch. The food isn't heavy, which makes it easy for a quick bite even during the hot summer. My favorite were the chicken dumplings - the filling was excellent. We had ours steamed and I want to try the other options and the other preparation styles. The pork soup dumplings were also good - clearly the reason people go there, and you could tell. I'm not a huge fan of the steamed shrimp, but they were good - just not my personal preference. Can't wait to go back and try more.

Starting off with the wait times, I would like to say that if you have a larger group of more than 2 expect a longer wait time on weekends. I visited with a friend on Saturday and we were seated withing 3 minutes since it was only us but other parties with more than 2 waited 30-45 minutes. The parking is horrendous since there are so many other restaurants in the plaza. The wait time was not bad though. As soon as we were seated we were greeted and given drinks and placed out orders. The dumplings were amazing. They were fresh and piping hot. The broth was flavorful. The beef scallion pancakes served as the perfect appetizer as we waited for the dumplings. They were luke warm sadly but still delicious. The interior was quite nice but the seating arrangement is quite tight since you are arms length from the next table. I hope to try more of the menu on a less busy day.

Best soup dumplings in Orlando hands down - you used to have to wait out the door and for quite some time before you could grab a seat. Pro tip is now to go early and beat the rush (even if you go peak hours now, you'd likely just have to wait for a short duration, this place has leveled out now in terms of how busy it once got). This was one of the first serious ones that opened up during the COVID renaissance, and a few copy cats have opened up in town, but I haven't found anything that is as juicy and tasty for soup dumplings as this place. My only complaint is I wish they provided ginger to go with the vinegar for a more authentic experience, but as this is in a super touristy location, I guess I can let that go. Their hand cut noodles are also really good and competes with any other place that specializes in house-made noodles! Highly recommend trying that as well.

Surprisingly good authentic Chinese food in a very touristy part of Orlando. The restaurant is chic and well decorated. Everything was clean and fresh. Servers spoke English and Chinese. It was packed on a Sunday evening. We tried the pork shrimp wonton soup and it was delicious. Big meat centers with nice thin dumpling skin, lots of bok choy and seaweed in the broth. The Shanghai style steamed rice siu mai wX delightful. Soft squishy rice perfectly steamed and not overly salty. We were wetr impressed with the spicy pig's ear appetizer. It was sliced so thin and the sauce was delicious. Not very spicy but savory and refreshing.

Service: we were one of the first people sat when they opened however we were on of the last people served Overall the waiter was pleasant but not exceptional. We had to ask for napkins, boxes, water refills Good: they have the BEST pork dumplings. The ramen was flavorful. It was perfect and filling. Ambiance was traditional. The utilized all their space. We were pretty close to the people on either side of us

What a great find for Dim Sum. The Yelp reviews were very good so I decided to check it out. I was a little skeptical with the name KungFu Kitchen. You know it's going to be good when you walk in & all you see are Asian faces. I had pork & chicken dumpling, Pork Buns & the shrimp, chicken & bok choy soup. Everything was delicious! I had a new Server named Julie & she did real good. I only wish she told me the pepper sauce was on the top of the Scoville scale!!! I asked the Manager about it. He was very pleased to say it was the HOTTEST in all of Orlando!

Great stir-fry hand-cut noodle with a combination of beef and shrimp. Love the chili oil and braised egg on top of the delicious noodle. Definitely will come back for more. Yum! The takeout bag with brown parchment paper is very thoughtful touch. p.s. A bit pricy maybe because the chef was famous in NYC.

A very pretty restaurant I must say. Kudos to whoever designed this place. Come early or you may not get in, or at least have to wait quite a while. The menu is extensive and very interesting. Since they are famous for their soup dumplings we just had to try those. I really enjoyed the chicken soup dumplings. As always is my dilemma with soup dumplings, should I try and wait a minute or go ahead and potentially burn my mouth... as usual I burned my mouth, but it was worth it. We also enjoyed the pork and shrimp dumplings. Delicious and I really loved the dipping sauce. I was quite hungry and decided on the shrimp ramen stir fry. It was tasty, but it didn't amaze me. The duck buns were my least favorite, but my guest loved them. Service was about average and prices are also within reason. The huge parking lots out front are deceptive as they fill up quickly with all the restaurants in this area.

I've been craving Kungfu Kitchen every day since trying it. It's kills me that it is about 40 minutes from me (sometimes more with traffic). The Shanghai Pan-Fried Pork Buns have SO much flavor. The texture of the bun is perfect too. I forgot to take a photo of these. The stir fry hand cut noodles with beef are some of the best noodles I have had. The hand cut noodles have such an amazing chewy texture to them. The beef sliced thin and is tender; NOT like the beef most crappy restaurants put in all the dishes. The sauce is actually flavorful (I'm sorry to say a lot of noodle dishes like this don't usually have this much flavor at other places; side note: what is up with beef chow fun being so bland at almost every single restaurant?! Ok, back on topic...) Ask for the chili oil! I love the chili oil there and put it on EVERYTHING. The pork Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are also good of course; much better than at some other restaurants I've tried. You will have to ask for ginger if you want it; it doesn't come automatically. Unpopular opinion: I don't like the sauce that comes with the scallion pancakes with beef. It's like sickly sweet or something. But others seem to like it!

I have had bao and stir fry before. So I know it tastes good. This place's food didn't taste bad but it did not have much flavor. The food looks good, but looks can be deceiving. (Just ask my brother in law) The best thing I had was the green tea. Service was fine, language barrier made it hard to get any info or recommendations. The dining area was small and open, like a strip mall. Nothing about the place matched the prices. 2 appetizers and two entrées cost $73. I do not recommend this place, and that's yelp elite guarantee!

We were not expecting Florida to have good Asian food but, we were proven wrong... AUDIO: Everybody was KUNGFU FIGHTING! There's a lot of good Asian spots here in Florida & you can find it mostly ALL on YELP ;) I was just craving for a light wonton soup for dinner and this SPOT was close to our villa... WONTON SOUP: 9/10 beware of the tiny shrimps on the broth they have eyes that look at you ;) Side of KNIFE CUT NOODLES : 10/10 Marinate with soy sauce and dumpling sauce ;) The PAN FRIED DUMPLINGS: 8/10 BEEF ROLLS: 10/10 SERVICE: 10/10 We love the vibe! There was a little bit of a wait at around 6:00-7pm but, we got seated within 15 minutes and they can text us. Rock on KUNGFU KITCHEN! KUNGFU FIGHTING Let's go!

My first review of the 2025 New Year!!!Absolutely amazing! I have to say I love the Yelp community as I happened to come upon this spot doing a search in Orlando for noodles/ramen. We just returned from cruising in port canaveral and had to come back to Orlando to fly back home. We had some time so we were like let's eat close to Disney Springs and then walk around Disney Springs before heading to the airport. It's roughly 10 minutes from Disney Springs. At any rate boy did this hit the spot for all of us. So jealous that this place doesn't exist in VA, I would be a frequent diner for sure. This place opened at 12:30pm and believe it or not we walked in at 12:35pm Saturday and the place was almost all packed out, glad we snagged the last 5/6 person spot. My kids ordered some Mango Slushy which they both loved! For food we ordered the Spicy Beef and Tripe in Chili oil appetizer, delicious marinated well with the mala spicy flavor. Ordered two of the Spicy Beef Hand Cut Noodle soup, delicious, love the spicy peanut sauce they add in, noodles were al dente simply great. We also ordered the Roast Duck Hand Cut Noodle Soup also delicious. I love how there are tons of veggies too. We had an order of Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Buns, so plump and juicy and perfectly fried. We tried their Pork Xiao Long Bao, also amazing and very soupy! While all of this was absolutely amazing... the shining star was the Taro Puffs, if you love Chinese Dim Sum , this is not to be missed, probably one of the most authentic versions I've had, so good I ordered another order to take home to let my mom try it out. One thing is for sure, if we come back to Orlando this will be a must stop! Don't hesitate if you are wondering if you should try it. Like my husband said... if it's packed with a bunch of Asians, as it first opens you know it's good

Kungfu Kitchen is near Disney but their other location is in NYC. I think their dim sum is one of the best in Orlando and their service is excellent. I have been here three times and on the weekend there can be a line to get in. One thing I have noted is the restaurant is always well staffed and you will receive service almost immediately after sitting down. The restaurant is not large but super clean and the decor is inviting. It is not all tourists because you see local families sharing meals here. I always look around to see if it is something I want to order next time. The Good: -The buns are great we have tried several of the varieties including their signature one and the duck. -We enjoyed the soup dumplings and they provide a tool so you can get it out of the serving plate without busting it with your chopsticks. There are several filling choices. -The sticky rice shumai really surprised me. We split it three ways and these were so good I wanted more. -When I ordered a fruit tea I thought they were a little pricey but they come in a tall to go cup. I enjoy it on the way home. Not so good: The roast duck stir-fry hand cut noodles include a good amount of duck but also all the tiny bones. You are practically required to use your fingers to debone it. I thought this was too much work. The only duck that is deboned is the buns. -The pumpkin mochi cakes have very little pumpkin flavor. The filling is all red bean so the small amount of pumpkin comes from the mochi shell. I enjoy KungFu kitchen. My ideal meal would be to go to KungFu Kitchen and have a few dim sum and then go to Susuru in the same plaza for the second course.

Awesome place! So happy my husband found this spot where their Shanghai soup dumplings are about as comparable to the ones in NY. Our personal family fave: - crab meat and pork soup dumplings (XLB) but took forever to come out - pork XLB - F4 spicy beef noodle soup, cut noodles - fried pork buns - taro smoothie - four season green tea with honey - yum! What we tried and don't mind passing up, shrimp dumpling. It was great! But I'd order more of the crabmeat and pork XLB bc of its flavor. Service: 4/5, they were attentive, mostly! Location: enough tables :) Wait time: it's so busy, so there was a wait, and you can't RSVP in advance. All in all, if I lived here, totally coming back!

Went here for dinner and they had a 1 hour wait. We went to Player 1 to kill time and they were pretty good at following up with guests to make sure that we are on the way. Service wasn't bad. They were keeping our water cup full and were very nice. Would definitely be back for the noodles! We got: Pan fried pork dumplings: 4.5 out of 5 Pan fried chicken dumplings: 3.5 out of 5 House special noodles: 5 out of 5

The food was fantastic! The pork XLB was especially delicious, with a well-balanced and flavorful filling. The scallion beef pancake was also tasty, though I found it a bit lacking in both meat and scallions. The pancake itself was on the thicker side, making it heavier and more carb-forward than I'm used to, as I typically prefer it thinner. The pan-fried Peking duck buns were a great choice as well, but note that they lean towards the sweeter side. Service was nice. Our dishes came out one at a time.

Did a bit of research on this place and added to our list. My bestie and i got to check it out while visiting for the holidays. So some background, about 15 years ago i was doing a lot of travel back and forth to Shanghai .. the land of really good noodles and soup dumplings. I became a fan very quickly. KungFu Kitchen boasts impressive soup dumplings and they do NOT disappoint!! They are huge, very very flavorful and super yummy! The best since discovering soup dumplings in China. The hand cut noodles are Devine. The flavors of umami creat a wonderfully satisfying experience. The best noodles in town! The other pan fried and steamed dumplings are def worth the add to any meal. I suspect as soon as the word gets out this place is going to be tough to get into. My advice, go now!! And try everything! You will find a new comfort food you didn't know you needed in your life!

This was fantastic! I haven't had dim sum or soup dumplings since we moved here from the DC area. This place was so worth it! They have a large selection of dumplings, soup dumplings, steamed buns, ramen, stir fry, pulled noodle dishes, and appetizer type offerings. We had the soup dumplings, which were perfectly steamed, with just enough meat and broth inside. The chop stick wrappers have instructions on how to eat them if you have never had them before. We also tried the steamed pork buns. These were my personal favorite. Think the perfect pillowey bun, lightly browned on the bottom to add the slightest bit of crunchy texture, and a pork filling that was flavorful and plentiful. These were just amazing! I'm sad we didn't get another order to take home - they reheat well. The red bean steamed buns were also delicious. Again, fluffy steamed bun but with a sweet red bean filling. Think dessert bun. The scallion pancake was super flavorful, crispy and nom-nom yummy. I was expecting something more "pancake" in texture, but was pleasantly surprised. The crispy spring rolls were good, pretty much what you'd expect from a spring roll. And finally, we also tried the beef, ramen stir fry. This had tender, thinly sliced pieces of beef, bok choy and other veggies. Really delicious. I definitely want to go back to try the shrimp wonton soup and other dishes we didn't' get to eat this first time. The restaurant itself is super cute, with steamer baskets hanging on the walls. The staff was attentive and happy to make recommendations or explain anything. Also, the bathrooms were clean and spacious (unisex, individual). And it's easy, free parking in the lot out front. It was not cheap, but I feel like we got our money's worth. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the Orlando area and have time to grab a meal.

Just came back from an Orlando weekend trip. Out of all the many restaurants they have in the city, my family wanted to come back to this place twice bc they liked it so much. Very surprising. We ended up ordering take out the next day instead but the food was just as good. Our favorite that we kept talking about was the soup dumplings and the pan fried pork buns. Must tries when you visit. The service was good as well, aside from the slight wait to be seated. I'm assuming during the prime times would be pretty long wait. The decor was spot on too. Very comfortable and well spaced out. Funny thing is that they offer customers bibs just in case the juices come out of the dumplings. Pretty smart bc it indeed happened when we bit into the pan fried buns. Hahaha

Loved it. I tried the pork xiao long bao, the shanghai pork buns, and the stir fried hand cut noodles with beef. My friend told me to order the noodles without vegetables (because she prefers it that way; she said the vegetables add a smoky flavor to the dish). I added chili oil to everything; it's so good. But everything is delicious and full of flavor even without the chili oil. The music and decor sets a good vibe! Very comforting. The service is quick and food served hot. I paired my dishes with the Lychee Not Martini drink which is black tea based. Check them out!

I'm a repeat dumplinger (new word?) in that I cannot get enough of their soup dumplings, scallion pancakes and hand-cut noodles. Taro puffs are the perfect sweet but not too sweet ending! Service is amazing and hot or iced teas come in large cups and plastic iced cup is totally reusable. Prices are reasonable because the food is plenty.

Service was very attentive and quick. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. The food was great and came out very quickly. We went on a Monday night, it wasn't very busy but had a couple tables filled up. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to try dumplings, noodles, or soup. We had three kids and four adults and they treated us great and we will go back!!

4.5 stars. I have never heard of this restaurant in NYC, but I am glad I found the one in Orlando. The XLB is exceptional. The skin is thin, but filled with lots of meat juice. The Roast Duck Hand pulled noodles is very good. The texture of the noodles is just right, and the soup is tasty. The steamed vegetable dumplings are also good. The green color is so cool. Knocked down half a star because of the Soup wonton. The shrimp is not fresh. Maybe the wontons were made many days ago and put into the freezer? Not Michelin standard if it is recommended by the food critic. Overall a wonderful experience.

Great spot for soups and late night dim sum. Its hard enough to find a good order of soup dumplings, but the BEST are available here all day. The beef stir fry was ok. Wasnt my order, didnt feel like there was enough protein but the flavors were great. Personally I would've liked more spice and different noodles. The soup broths were incredible. The spicy beef being exactly what I was needed, but the shrimp broth provided much needed healing as well! The bok choy was very fresh, the beef was incredibly tender. I only didnt expect there to be so much. You could easily get a soup to split and 3 or 4 of the dim sum options. Don't forget tea!

Delicious foods. Soup dumplings were incredibly fresh. They asked if they should bring items out as they are ready for freshness. We said yes and it worked out great. Kept coming out with items to keep trying. I also had fresh cut noodle duck with chili oil. Very good and noodles were amazing. The slushes were really tasty. The servers were very prompt. All of them will help not just the one taking order. It was nicely decorated and comfortable seating.

The food was so good I didn't get the chance to snap a picture but that just means I'll have to go back and update this review later. The restaurant is very busy so expect a wait -- although we waited less than 30 minutes for a table for 3 on a Thursday. We ordered various dumplings and I ordered the hand-cut noodles with beef. Everything was SO GOOD. Like I obsessed about it for weeks. Everything was downright tasty. I also ordered a frozen non-alcoholic beverage and it was very refreshing. It has been my new monthly fave! If you're in the area do yourself a favor you will not be disappointed.

Wow I really enjoyed my dinner here. I came with some family and convinced them to try dim sum with me. Our server was very nice and helpful, explained some different options to us and we ended up ordering: - Pork xiao long bao - these were good - Pork & shrimp wonton soup - delicious! Especially the wontons - Scallion pancakes w sliced beef - favorite at the table. crispy, delicious and it comes with a sweet sauce to dip into. Next time we will try without the beef - Sticky rice shumai- we were most excited for these but they lacked some flavor This was for 3 of us and we were satisfied with our meal and look forward to returning.

Back to this place again one year later and everything is still so good. I tried my friend's noodle and I'm still upset that I didn't order it this time. Their Xiao Long Pao is amazing but their noodle is the best.

Truly genuine with nice efficient service. Thanks Kim!!! We did carry out and was all perfect. The food was the real thing; delicious Pan Fried Peking Duck Buns. The Roast Duck Stir-Fry Hand Cut Noodles was truly special. We also enjoyed; Scallion Pancakes, Steamed Shrimp & Pork Dumplings. Wow! This is a great discovery at a very reasonable price. Although we did pickup the ambiance there was very attractive and refreshing.
