Signature Dishes
Signature Xiaolongbao
The wrappers are thin but sturdy when picked up, with fresh, flavorful filling and plenty of soup; the classic flavor is consistent but may not be the most distinctive.
Loofah and Shrimp Xiaolongbao
The filling is naturally sweet, with a light, clean flavor and a refreshing pairing; among the xiaolongbao varieties, it has the cleanest profile.
Shrimp Fried Rice
The grains are distinct and the texture is balanced, with shrimp flavor worked through the rice; mixing in red-oil wonton sauce adds another dimension.
Pork Chop Fried Rice
The pork chop is generous and not dry, but the flavor is more ordinary than the shrimp fried rice.
Red-Oil Wontons
Mixing the red-oil sauce into fried rice adds another flavor; on its own, it is fairly standard, and the sauce can coat the wontons.
