Wow! Just wow! The Thai dumplings were amazing as were the Sichuan Style String Beans. We also enjoyed the Salt and pepper tofu and Spicy Sichuan Noodle Soup. Everything was delicious and fresh. The service was excellent. I can't wait to go back.

I now have a go-to Chinese spot in Santa Cruz! It was pretty full when we got there but we still got a table quickly and the service was very friendly. The soup dumplings were a big hit with the kids. I loved the shrimp dumplings in my hot and sour soup, and will be planning to try many more things on subsequent visits.

Solid 4 stars. I'm not a dumpling fan myself, so didn't try them myself, but my daughter LOVED the pork soup dumplings - so much that we had to order another. My husband also said the shrimp dumplings that were in his sweet and sour soup were super good. I got the coconut curry soup with chicken - which I was quite pleased with. Good level of spice - on the mild side, but still present. Chicken inside was tender. Would have preferred that it has ride noodles instead of wheat noodles though. My kids got chicken pho - it was on the blander side (as I've often found chicken pho to be) and the chicken in it was a bit dry. I want to dry the beef pho as I feel like that gives a better picture of their pho. It was pretty busy on a Sunday at 6, but they moved things along faster than I had anticipated. Having said that it was not as fast as most pho places or as most chines places.

The spot for comfort food. Lot of options on the menu including Pho and dinner entree items. Location has ample parking, and can get busy during dinner time. The Pho was decent and hearty portion size. The Special Sauce Spare Ribs was savory and would go great with some rice, but the sauce was a bit too thick and harden into a glump about ten minutes later. The dumplings was good but they were all the same shape/size/appearance which lead me to believe it's not hand made. Salt and pepper chicken is a must try, and the onion pancake is a good starter dish. The sesame cucumber was good if you're a sesame lover.

The food is really really good. Their dumplings are always right on time! Service is fantastic - I've eaten in the restaurant as well as had take out and catering and I can honestly say I've never had a single issue. Pricing is fair and the restaurant itself is clean and they have outdoor seating which is nice. This place is on my top ten for west side dining!

I found this place while scrolling on yelp, and I was super excited to come try it! First impressions were a little rough, as the restaurant was very busy and I had to wait a little bit for a table, but not given a time. It needed up not taking to much time and I was seated in about 10 minutes. The inside was very clean, and the table was well put together. We were told that we could order online and the food would be delivered to our table, which I found very fun and very practical. They had so many options to pick from on the menu I had a hard time trying to choose, but I ended up trying the Coconut Dumpling Soup. I will say the food took a long time to come out, and my friend food came out a few minutes before mine. Not to mention the soda we got took way too long to get to our table for them to just hand us a can. We were warned the kitchen was really backed up though so I think the long wait might have just been a one off. When the food did come out, it was yummy and super hot. Not to mention the bowl of soups was a very generous portion for the price. The dumplings in the soup (I opted for veggie and there were five in the soup) were very large and filling. The brother had a bit of spice to it, but the coconut curry flavor still came through and was served very hot. I also liked the veggies in the broth. Again the bowl was pretty large and was a very reasonable price, so this is a very tasty and affordable restaurant that is perfect for families! I would really recommend this place to satisfy your dumpling cravings. The food is yummy, prices are reasonable, and portions are a good size. I believe the long food service we received was due to an off night, and would still come back again to try one of their other dishes.
