“ Amazing food no matter what you get, service is top notch, and it's got a nice atmosphere to it. ”
“ Great dumplings and really good won ton soup. Perfect for a cold day! Service was efficient. Prices seem very reasonable ”
“ We were in the mood for some Chinese food, but wanted to try something different from our usual places. I'm glad I listened to my friend and friend Chef Junes. The place is small, but well kept. There were two people cooking in the kitchen and one young lady waiting tables. Service was quick and efficient, and the food was great! We all love the salt and pepper pork chop, so much flavor and great texture! My daughters loved the cold noodles too. We'll be back again soon, it was all very yummy! ”
“ Chef Junes is a hidden gem! The husband ate his Shank Ramen so fast it was impressive. Their Mini Juicy Buns (soup dumpling) were delicious. Friend & myself had the chicken noodle Raman and we both raved about the broth, probably the best we ever had. We will be returning soon. ”
“ First time here with a huge party of 18. Luckily we make reservations before arrived as the restaurant has very limited capacity and we arrived in an hour before closing time. There is only one server working at that time, so I took the initiative to take down 18 people's order then pass it to her to make her work easier. The food came out around 15-20mins after order. So we are unable to take photos for dumplings.... The dumplings are damn delicious either boiled dumplings or pan fried dumplings.... Even children also like the taste. When comes to noodles, our favourite is the Biang Biang noodles. We will definitely come back to try out more options soon ”
“ The General Tso's chicken lunch special here was great...while the rice was only so-so, that chicken was on point! The dumplings are why we came here, and the pan fried beef dumplings were tasty but not as strong as some of the ones I've had in Chinatown (Qing Xiang, for example). Lots of dine-in space and that food came out fast. Excited to come back here and try other lunch specials. ”
“ So the place is quaint and both Chef June and Yanan are super friendly and welcoming. We just found the place on Yelp so we ordered every dumpling pan fried on the menu along with both pork and chicken soup dumplings. I also wanted to try the beef shank noodle soup and Yanan was right about the shank being very tender and tasty. All the pan fried dumplings were good but will probably pass on the veggie ones. The triple delight and beef with scallions are my favorite. The mini juicy soup dumplings are essential for each visit and the chicken was surprisingly more favorable for me. There was only two of us but we ordered 9 dishes and finished all of them except a few veggie dumplings. Service: 5 Dumplings: 4 Beef shank: 4 Need to try their other dishes next time to see if they're good too. It's nice to have Chef June's dumplings to satisfy my cravings. ”
“ Great dumplings, doesn't seem to get as much "press" but I'd say it's just as good if not better than some other places. The soup dumplings are sublime, everything was delicious and not as salty. Service is a bit slow, so be prepared to just take your time, enjoy your company and the food. ”
“ I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile but every time I tried to order, they were closed or I tried out of normal hours. I get back to town, drop my car at the shop down the street for service & walk over, I'm the only person in at 1:30p on a Monday. Seated and order taken quickly after friendly greeting. 5 people sit at 3 tables while kitchen is coming. Getting busy. Pork dumplings come first then Mongolian beef lunch special. I added chili crisp and enjoyed both. I would return. ”
