Every aspect of my experience at this now spot was absolutely 5-star. The service was attentive from start to finish, the atmosphere was so relaxing yet stylish and modern, and the presentation of each dish was truly beautiful. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care. I had a particularly wonderful experience with our server, Julia, who went above and beyond to make the evening special. This will surely become a regular spot for me, as I’ll need to try everything on the menu!

Delicious fusion Chinese cuisine! The space is beautifully decorated, spacious, and complemented by outstanding service. The dishes are creative in ways you might not expect, yet every concept and ingredient comes together perfectly. Highly recommend!

Walked in during the soft opening in late July and got to try their soup dumpling sampler! The mala was my favorite. Ordered the kung pao chicken which came out really crispy and loads of peppers. Julia was a lovely host, can’t wait to come back once their full menu is up

Gorgeous atmosphere, BYOB, fantastic food and great service. I’ve gone twice since opening and the food is always tasty but the service really stands out. Definitely recommend and will be back again!

The chef here has some wok skills - the beef in the black pepper truffle beef is tender with a slight char, while the veggies are crisp and snappy. And the black pepper sauce is super tasty - dump some rice in it and soak up every last drop. Similarly the "jade delight" (or something like that) vegetarian fried rice is ridiculously flavorful and the texture of the rice is nearly perfect. Do kinda wish there were more vegetables in it though. The fillings of the assorted xiao long bao are good, but the skins are a little thicker and drier than I would have liked. But still worth ordering for the variety.

Food was spectacular. The black truffle soup dumplings were scrumptious and their duck and noodles are a must. You can tell they care about the quality of their food. Highly recommend

The food and presentation is good. You pay for the presentation as quantity is enough but less than other places. Server took my silverware but then I had to pack food on my own which wasn't a big deal, especially during a soft opening but try to be more conscious of that. Environment is classy. The braised salmon was on-point and the walnut shrimp was fine. I loved having the option of the blue latter cold drink. Butterfly pea tea with other stuff always seems to be a winner for me. I was wavering between 4-5 stars but this is a soft opening and I have to give them some slack. This place wouldn't be a top choice for me but it is certainly not a bad choice of a restaurant for me.

We stopped by last Saturday afternoon to check the new spot out. We were quickly seated and only one other table had people at the time We love the menu. It's great for flexitarians and not much red meat on the menu. My favorite thing I think was the shiitake bao just bc of how cute and unique the shape of the bao is! The XLB are good and standard, similar to Nan Xing. I loved the mapotofummus what a great idea. It sounds weird but it works and I like the added texture of the pork and wonton chips. Shumai was good too, and we were sufficiently full after this between two people. We look forward to coming back, service was quick and attentive. Im looking forward to trying more of their menu and saving room for dessert

The food was delicious and unique. Highlight for us was the Mapo Tofummus, but everything was quite good. The oyster sauce in the Gai Lan and the honey garlic glaze on the Sweet General had amazing flavor. The Xiao Long Treasure was a great way to sample the dumplings, our favorite was the Mala Spicy. The service was great! Kind servers who genuinely seemed interested in making our experience enjoyable. A nice and relaxing ambiance, great for conversation and dining. We will definitely be returning soon to try more of the menu!

First off the environment was amazing with soft music to add to your meal and the seating was very comfortable. The staff was courteous and prompt. And for it to be the soft opening it was superb! As for the food, every dish was cooked with care, Flavorful and tasteful. The forbidden ribs were cooked so good I started to eat the bone!

Came here for lunch and had an awesome meal with my girls. My daughters love the red lanterns hanging from the ceiling and the artwork on the walls. The food was delicious, was sad I didn't order more because we were full after sharing the suilongbow, the ribs and two entrees between the 3 of us. The waiter was very attentive. 3 hour parking right outside the restaurant which allowed us to walk around and enjoy the neighborhood afterwards. Will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu.

The ribs are incredible. I was excited to try them because the description on the menu sounded fabulous. As soon as I bit into one I literally said "WOW"! The ribs easily fall off of the bone. Whatever they mix in the sauce is insanely delicious. I also tried their Mango Mint mocktail. It was so refreshing. It tasted just like a Mojoto but better. I went back in and ordered two more of them. This is def my new favorite place in Northern Liberties.

The food was amazing with so many options of food to die for! The nicest owners and employees (not to bad to look at either.) I highly recommend dining at this establishment.
