Love this dumpling place, great dumplings and dumpling soup! Not too thrilled about the noodle dishes, mine was a tad bit salty!! Otherwise we always stop by here for a quick bite whenever we go to SantaCruz. Love their sesame balls, must order!!

I had one delicious serving of garlic noodles with shrimp. Each bite was rich with the aroma of fresh garlic. The shrimp were plump, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Every forkful burst with flavor and freshness. It was a truly satisfying and memorable meal. It was a late night and all the spots were closed. This spot was nice, they also allowed us to freshen up despite them about to close. Staffs were super friendly! We've discovered our favorite spot in Santa Cruz

Great service. Super nice people. We only went there once but would try again. Food was very good. Good flavors… pork dumpling had a lot of meat in it. Chicken wing appetizer was very much enjoyed.

Absolutely the Best Chinese Food I’ve Ever Had! I’m so glad I found this place — everything we ordered was outstanding. The dumplings were absolutely amazing, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The soup was rich, comforting, and delicious. On top of that, the restaurant was clean and welcoming with a nice atmosphere. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food and the customer experience. Honestly, the food was so good, I joked that I could move to Santa Cruz just to eat here regularly! I’ll definitely be coming back every chance I get.

A group of six of us had a really great dinner here a week ago. We ordered several dishes and shared everything. Lots of variety on the menu. The dumplings variations were unique and tasty but my favorite was the beef noodle soup that I ordered. Service was excellent and everyone was very nice and friendly. The restaurant isn't very big but it didn't feel crowded or anything. We didn't have any trouble finding parking in the lot. Thank you for the great meal!
