My husband and I ate here and everything we ate was delicious! We had the Bird’s Nest Garlic Shrimp appetizer, spicy seafood soup noodle (I ordered mine without crab meat), tiramisu cheesecake, and blue berry cheesecake. The seafood soup was one of the best soups I’ve ever eaten. Plus the customer service was excellent. I didn’t get the waitress name, but she was so polite. We’re looking forward to eating here many more times. Highly recommend!

After looking at this place walking by, or driving around we decided to try it, the pictures and the menu look very good, the food looks good but no flavor, it was very disappointing, the waitress a very nice young girl does her best but the food is the problem. I will not recommend this place at all

I have been seeing pictures of the Dragon Shrimp Dumplings for months and made it a necessary stop when in town. While I had just had breakfast nearby, I made the walk and sampled two things.

In the corner of Nashville and Magazine street, this is a nice place with a good vibe. Open space and it’s nice to sit outside. We got the Dragon Shrimp Dumpling and it took some time for it to come. Wait was abit more than expected considering it was not crowded at all. The shrimp was just Boiled and there was no seasoning. I personally wasn’t satisfied with it. Maybe it will be good for someone else. Since this seems like a new place in the area, just give it a try and see for yourself. Maybe they are still figuring things out.

Really great dim sum! We were even able to try jellyfish for the first time. Very authentic and enjoyable, and the seating arrangement outside was lovely. We were too full for dessert, but I plan on treating myself to some cake from here during lunch today.

The food was not fresh at all. It tasted like Costco Dumplings. We also didn’t finish out Matcha cake because it was too old.

It’s a quaint dining area in a nice part of New Orleans. I found the Ramen noodles a bit over cooked but the glass noodles were just plain amazing. I got the fatty beef hot pot with glass noodles a couple days ago and it was hard not to get them again. I also got the blue berry cheese cake and I’ll just say that I liked the little egg custard pie better. They had a nice crisp crust, warm, not too sweet. I could eat five of them. I got the seafood spicy soup with ramen today and it was great. I would just ask that you have your noodle under or AL dente. I’ll be eating here again tomorrow

I was at the zoo and was looking for restaurants, found this one and the menu sounded amazing. I ordered alot of different foods since I live 12 hours away and everything sounded so amazing . The food did not disappoint, everything was so delicious and our waitress was also amazing. If I lived closer I would go out of my way to eat here often. The food has alot of flavor and absolutely delicious.

Cute, casual, yummy. With an uptown New Orleans location off Nashville the outside is totally adorable. They have a super cute patio space that was way too cold for me to enjoy when I went. The menu is large, there are a lot of different dim sum options and it was a little overwhelming for me at first. We tried the lobster shu mi and basket shrimp with the jellyfish and cucumber salad. Everything was good but admittingly my favorite thing was the salad. I took a bunch of baked goods home as well This is where I found things lacking. I’m under the impression that the baked goods were not that fresh. The tarot cheesecake was yummy but the coconut custard was overcooked in my opinion, the egg tart was good and we also tried this little egg yolk thing that looked really crispy and delicious on the outside but was kind of just old and dry tasting and then when you got to the actual egg yolk that was separately just not my jam. I probably go back to try more dim sum. Haven’t found a dim sum place on the East Bank besides this one. They have another location in Metairie. No alcohol.

The spicy dumpling soup at Wishing Town Bakery Cafe was a real treat. The dumplings had a nice kick to them and the broth was flavorful and satisfying. The server was very friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. The ambiance of the cafe was also quite pleasant, with a comfortable and welcoming vibe. 100% recommended!
