Must try mouth watering pan fried dumplings with different varieties of taste. Gourmet juice pan-fried bun! Price is fair but with a Yelp review you get a 10% promotional discount off while still exist. Nice atmosphere here with new furnished furniture and a see through window to see staffs making dumplings and buns. QR code to scan and order for tour table was an ease. Friendly waitress and we will come back and visit soon.
Overall, a pretty good comfort food experience that could be a quick meal of juicy buns. However, I don’t think that on the spectrum of pan-fried buns these were spectacular. The color on the buns was great, but the texture of the bun is weak. The contrast of fluffy dough and crispy bottom is what makes it good, and I feel like the doughy bun was just okay in quality. The insides were all rich in flavor, but nothing to write home about.
Finally trying out this place after seeing endless good reviews. The photos of the food just told me to go there. I got the pan fried buns assorted set, the beef pancakes, and the beef hot pot. The hot pot broth is a bit more salty than I would prefer but I probably have a preference of more bland over more salty. It's probably ok for most people. Plenty of beef, veggies, and other goodies in the soup. Overall about a 7/10. The beef pancakes are better known as beef rolls at other similar Chinese restaurants. However, very good nevertheless. If you like extra cilantro, this one has it. Tasty inside, crispy outside. Overall 8/10. The assorted pan fried buns is a good way to sample the buns of you aren't sure what to get. The house special, seafood, and curry were all great. Nice and crispy on the bottom, super juicy on the inside. Close to perfect. Overall 9/10.
This was a fantastic surprise! A new experience that isn't just novel but delicious & habit worthy. We found this spot on vacation & plan to visit a 2nd time before we leave. Fresh hot food. Be warned..... it's greasy but delicious (can't be surprised by that with the words "pan fried" in the name. Cute pillows on the seats, comfortable chairs, enjoyable decor. Loved it!
Amazing food. A little slow because of the take out orders, but worth the trip! We ate the house special buns, curried chicken buns, and the truffle buns - at $29.99 the truffle buns were $$ but they were delicious and worth it. We also had the taro buns for dessert. Hot and crispy - I happily overate since we don’t have any place like this in Seattle. The beef pancake was tasty, but a trap for those of us that don’t like cilantro.
