Big fan of this place. The food is delicious and it’s a great place to relax on a nice day. I LOVE the shrimp toast, but if I’m being honest everything I’ve had there was very tasty. It’s right in the heart of fourth street so it’s a nice stop in when you’re walking around, and if it’s busy you can put your name in and walk the strip.

Nice interior and fast service. “Open-faced dumpling” aka pork siu mai was delicious. Other dumpling dishes were a bit of fusion interpretation. 8-9 pm 15% discount Sunday to Thursday happy hour was a brilliant idea.

Mixed feelings about this place..everything that has the chili sign is supposed to spicy but wasn’t really spicy.

Love the dumplings here! The name is very appropriate. There’s several locations of this restaurant and this one is consistent with great service and menu. I’m in love with their garlicky green beans and vegetarian dumplings.

Average to above average dumplings for the East Bay. Presentation of the food was very beautiful. Flavors were reasonable. Chili dumplings weren’t that spicy. Xiao Long Baos were good though not great. The service was super friendly and inviting though.

Great dumplings and very friendly service at fourth Street in Berkeley. We come here often and we should be ready to wait in line because this is a very popular place. Highly recommended.

Arrived at 3pm for a late and still had a 5 minute wait. Service was quick and, friendly, we ordered chicken potstickers, curry noodles, green beans, lobster shu mai, and shrimp toast. Food was tasty – will return!!

Everything tastes divine and exquisite! I loved the xiao long bao, and the fun xiao long bao with beets skin, shiu mai, sesame jellyfish, pork bao (the skin is one of the best bread I’ve had from a bao, so soft and moist), har gow is soo tasty, and maine lobster siu mai was a treat with nice chunks of lobster ! Can’t wait to go back for more! Albeit a little pricey but worth it in this inflationary environment

Came here for the first time with a few people, all the food we ordered was great! We tried the crispy tofu squares, veggie spring rolls, seaweed salad, gyoza, XLB bao. One downside is the price, we ended up spending a fair amount per person due to the small portions. Service was just okay, we felt ignored or forgotten by our server at times and they didn’t have enough clean dishes to provide water cups or silverware during parts of our service.
