Good but can't say socks blown off. It feels bright and open but snug tables. Service was functional but not overly warm or friendly including asking us if it was okay to close out at 915pm, I get you want to finish. For food, it lacked the flavor burst that I'd be looking for. The pork xiao long bao was missing the flavor. And placed on the steamer close so the hole dripped out the soup and became a simple dumpling. Same goes for the har gow sticking together while missing the slight mini crunch of shrimp and even the Lamb dumplings needed more. The Sheng Jian bao was the most interesting with the dough pan fried and somewhat soupy filling. Good but I'd not likely go back any time too soon. 3.5 out of 5 for me. Enjoy

Very friendly service, the food is good, especially the 生煎包, very juicy. It's a good place to eat when you visit San Jose downtown

This small but cute restaurant in DTSJ , is the perfect Asian cuisine addition in town! Although the service is literally one waiter, he is super friendly and as quick as he can be! The food is "seriously" so good, but a little on the pricey side! Def enjoyed catching up with an old friend! And I cannot wait to come back here again, if ever in the area!

Our first time and everything is super flavorful and yummy... Kids loved the garlic noodles, soy sauce chicken wings and the soup dumpling. We will be back soon.

Came here with a friend for lunch, solid service and really cool interior. Location is great cause it's near different cafes/boba shops. The noodle soup was really good and the meat was really tender. The xlb had a good soup to filling ratio but would've liked a little more flavor.

Great location. Fantastic. Right next to San Pedro Square and a huge parking garage. Lovely location with a closed off street and tons of people around. The food was delicious. We particularly liked the fried bun XLB. Crispy all round, not just the bottom. And filled with really yummy soup. Chili pork won ton also good. Just enough sauce and the won ton were nice and plump. They don't skimp. Minced pork noodles was the last dish. Amazing. I had to slow myself down else I devour the entire plate and not leave any for others! Service was fast though not with a smile. That's sort of s as big deal for me. Maybe I'm old school. But it was quite expensive for Chinese food. Imma say 33% more than average. Example is the minced pork noodles. Fair would be $12. Nice and spacious inside though. And a nice selection of fancy cocktails.
