The food is SO good! We ordered the hot & sour soup which was just $8.95 and enough for a family! The cucumber salad has the best flavor and is so fresh and crisp! We also ordered the crispy tofu and 10 pieces of beef & onion dumplings! This is going to be my favorite go to spot in San Carlos! This is a clean cozy restaurant AND Phoenix, the best wait staff, is very attentive and helpful! I’ve been at this restaurant at least 4 times now and it is consistently good every time!! Come and give it a try, I know you’ll enjoy the fresh and tasteful food here!!!

Definitely the best dumplings I've had. Clearly handmade and family owned. I highly recommend for anyone who is in the area. Decent amount of street parking. Not too busy in off hours either.

Was here last Sunday with my husband. The food was so yummy, I was craving a beef noodle soup and they delivered. Definitely recommend the soup as an entree or to share. The cucumber salad was also delicious and i’m still thinking about the chocolate dumplings, the best dessert. Overall this restaurant was very clean and the service was great and the food was excellent.

The food is sooooo good. I was in the mood for some high quality food and saw the reviews - this place did not disappoint. I had wonton soup- the wontons were so soft and tender, the broth was yummy and you could tell they used fresh ginger. There were fresh greens floating around in there too. So so so good! I also had onion pancakes - they were crispy and full of onion flavor. Lastly I had custard dumplings - so cute and yummy! It was such a great experience.

I’ve lived in San Carlos my whole life but moved away and haven’t been back for a few years - was looking on Google for restaurants and found this place with 4.9 stars and that entirely makes sense. Not sure why the average isn’t 5 stars, because wow the food is incredible! The staff is so kind too and service is fast! Will absolutely be coming back every time I’m in town :) Walnut shrimp, XLB, soup and not pictured: scallion pancakes (delish), Dan Dan noodles (also delish) & pork buns!

Wonderful, clean, and easy parking! Delicious, I love the northern Chinese, Thai and some Malaysian food! I am telling my friends, because I am tired of driving to San Mateo.

The pork buns are really juicy! It has a ton of soup inside. We ordered a Szechuan Cold Noodles that gets along with this hot weather, and it was pretty good. The sauce was spicy fresh and cool.

Delicious dumplings and pot stickers of various kinds, and soups. Cold water for the tables, various drinks available, and friendly helpful service. You can watch them making the dumplings by the front window. Beijing Pot Stickers were fantastic. The dumplings were really good; definitely worth checking this place out.

I found this restaurant after visiting the area, and I was glad I found it. My dining experience here far exceeded my expectations from the moment I arrived. The staff greeting was warm, and my host gave excellent recommendations for the meal. I have not had chicken satay prepared this way before, but their version was mouthwatering and delicious. The sugar pea leaf left me delightfully satisfied that there is something other than kale that is healthy and pairs perfectly with my chicken corn dumplings. I wish this place were closer to where I live because I would visit at least once a week. I returned again and just like the first time the quality of service and the taste of the food remain 5 stars. Only the best here.
