Decent and formal-looking restaurant. I tried their black truffle soup dumpling and drunken chicken. The chicken was a bit too fatty to my taste. The first bite tasted good and it got quite fatty after a few bites. If I can share food with more people, it would be good. The waiter and waitress were friendly and nice. I was the last person dining in and they were patient for me. She had just cleaned the restaurant floor and I wanted to use the restroom but she was still ok with it and friendly.

A vibrant and bright atmosphere. Good variety of food and teas. Very clean and organized. Drunken noodles with chicken were delicious and a must try. The Kon Poa chicken was flavorful and spicy. The cheese foam rose black tea was good if you have a sweet tooth. The hot tea is a must especially in a cold winter day.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia. You can always trust the flavor of their Sichuan and Hunan style dishes. Still remember how I burst in tears when I hand Xiang style fresh chicken several years ago.

This place is tasty. We only really had dumplings here, but every time we go we see a large group ordering a ton of food. We went and tried to go eat soup dumplings around the corner and told us it was an hour wait for food. This place had our food out in like 15. We also like that they make the dipping sauce with fresh ginger. Oh yeah and it’s about the same price as all the other dumpling houses in Chinatown, but the me is more robust for other options.

Truffle soup dumplings are delicious! They have a little truffle on top to give it a little truffle flavor. Soupy and tender flavorful meat inside. The braised pork belly was also tasty. Shredded duck with scallion and bao could be less sweet though. Would definitely come back for the soup dumplings, as they are good enough to rival other soup dumplings in the area.

This restaurant takes cash only which they told us up front. It’s spacious and clean inside. Tables were not too crowded. We ordered their signature dish, live tilapia with pickle (酸菜魚) which is pretty good, and also cauliflower with spicy hot pepper and bacon (大盤花菜) which is also good.

I’ve been here when it used to be mainly sushi and it was really good – don’t know why it changed names…
