I just love their small bowl chicken noodles 🫶🏻 the broth taste so tasty and thick. But if you don’t like overcooked or soft noodles, you probably won’t like it. Me personally love it, the taste just so comforting. (Sorry I didn’t take a pic🫠) …

Xiao long Bao is good, internal soup is really sweet and tasty. La Mian is nice but the pork ribs is a little too thin and dry. The other dim sum are also good.
Qadir
Decent Chinese food at a semi-premium price. The restaurant has the classic top-notch service expected of a typical Chinese eatery, however the food was above average at best. …
Priya
I like hot and sour soup so ordered to try but this taste is not my liking. Too sour and too spicy lol Like the Korean prawns the best! …
Oscar
We ordered some dim-sum evergreens, despite the outlet's forte in Chinese ramen and xiao-long-bao (steamed pork dumpling with infused soup), as we had wanted to enjoy only light food. …
