"The Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings 蟹粉小籠包 really hit the spot. I loved the Passion Fruit & Lime Green Tea , it's my go to drink. I would totally order it again. The Crispy Dough 油條 bread is so good."
"The pork buns were cold and soggy with super thick bread like dough and not much pork. And the beef in my noodles was bland. On top of that, it took over an hour for them to make my food. Will not be ordering again"

"I'm not in New York often I've been craving the cumin lamb burger. I picked it up when I was in New York. I ordered pick up and it was super easy and a seamless through door dash. I also got the hand pulled Lamb hand ripped noodles with sauce on the side. It's a decent sized portion so I'll probably have room for later, but it's really flavorful and would definitely get again"

"foods delicious if a bit oily. Grilled Beef Ribs 黑椒牛肋骨 is probably one of the best versions of that dish ive ever had, tender but till has bite, not mushy. Steamed Sticky Rice In Red Dates 心太软 hit the spot perfectly if you like them jujube, crackly skin, perfectly soft mochi. portion size is quite small, and combined with prices, rather expensive meal. splurge or don't come hungry."

"Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings (6) were amazing! Pan Fried Pork Buns (6) & Fried Vegetable Spring Rolls(3) too! 5 star review from teenagers who who asked that we rember these for our next visit. Thanks so much for a delicious meal! "
"Good experience! The order came a bit early which was nice with just the right amount of food we were expecting if not more. The merchant also supplied serving and eating utensils as requested. The packaging could have been a bit more durable because the bok choy liquid spilled out of the aluminum container a bit and the vinegar spilled a little too but overall good experience and fair pricing!"

"I like their food. It’s good food. I understand that some think it’s not good…but I have had no problem with this restaurant and their service to date. I really like the string beans they’re usually pretty good :) on average, they do a good job (it’s also not too terribly greasy)"
"First of all, I don't typically review things on food delivery sites. Really wanted soup dumplings, and this was the only place around here I could find vegetarian ones. I am not impressed, to say the least. They did not secure the soy sauce in any way, so my order came with soy sauce spilled absolutely everywhere. The dumplings were much smaller than pictured. The dumplings themselves were surprisingly dry for soup dumplings - maybe 2 out of the 6 had a sufficient amount of soup. And this may just be a personal taste preference, but I did not enjoy the taste of these. The mushroom felt muddled at best, barely there at worst. The only reason for the two stars is that they have vegetarian ones in the first place, and the dough was alright. I've had great soup dumplings, I've had mediocre soup dumplings - these are all the way at the bottom of my list. Would not try again."
