Ordered Dan Dan noodles - expected a spicy noodle with chilly oil and pork but got a bond noodle with weak peanut sauce. After I added some vinegar soy sauce and chilly oil it tasted better but definitely not comparable to the authentic Dan Dan noodles.

i like there dumpling a lot. i was a little shocked i got my order to go and wanted to have only a couple there the staff actually said i cant. they weren't even that busy. that actually discouraged me from wanting to go there more.

One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Everything is tasty, but I almost always find myself getting the laoganma fried noodles because it's one of the specialties that you can't get at a "generic" Chinese takeout place. I am always surprised that it never seems to be crowded when I pop in for lunch on the weekend. One of the rare places I really like that isn't super crowded.

Spent time with my mother at Cedars ICU. Was starving when we came out. Decided on Chinese food and this wonderful restaurant was right there. Dumplings noodles and the best garlic eggplant I've ever had (one of my favorite dishes). Highly recommend the Shanghai fried noodles and the pork and fennel dumplings, but all of it was good. Excellent service, nice place. Will go back!

I ordered the beef noodle take out and it promises the thick beef shank, but instead giving me the super thin sliced beef, will not recommend.

This is actually a very good place for some delicious Taiwanese food. I can't say it will compare to a somewhere in the SGV, but it quite good. I was recently here for dinner with a buddy and we ordered 4 items to share. We had the Pork Dumplings, Orange Chicken, Shanghai Fried Noodles, and Fried Chicken. I enjoyed everything, but my absolute favorite were the dumplings. Just a lot of flavor in these dumplings and they're full of juice. Be careful, as they can burst and drip all over you. The Orange Chicken was pretty standard. Not sure I'd order it again. Shanghai Fried Noodles are worth ordering. I'd skip on the fried chicken wings. There are a lot of different choices on the menu. I'd come back and order different items to try.
The restaurant is quite spacious and very clean. I think they could have better ventilation though. I left the restaurant with my clothes smelling like all sorts of Chinese food. I don't like the set up of ordering at the counter and paying before you get the food. I never feel right about tipping either. Technically, they haven't done anything yet

Very authentic dumplings. So authentic northern type they even have fennel stuffing. Service is pretty fast and there is dedicated parking.
