Mama's Dough

My daughter and I went there one day and were absolutely satisfied by the food and service. We went back a second time, but after I donated plasma the first time. Unfortunately I ended up passing out at the restaurant. My husband and daughter said the service during that visit was beyond exceptional. They were very kind and helpful and got our food packed up. My daughter and I went again yesterday and still the food is so good. The Bao is the best I have ever had. I had hot pot there on the first visit and my mouth was getting hit with so many amazing flavors. Best place ever. Thank you

My family had the egg & shrimp stir fry & it was delicious. Literally melts in your mouth. We also had Crispy fried chicken, beef pancake, pork dumpling(pan fried), & shrimp fried rice. I’ve been to so many Chinese places & this is by far my favorite. Everything was beyond delicious.

They earned their restaurant name with amazing Dumplings and Xio Long Baos! Epitome of home comfort food truly reminds me of mom's cooking.

A bit on the pricier side but not a deterrence for me coming back.

Since discovering this restaurant in January, 2020, I have eaten here about eighteen times and gotten takeout food from here about thirty eight times. This is an extraordinary restaurant and the chef and her staff really know a lot about food that tastes good, and they serve it. I am not an expert, but I think this is food from the region of China around Shanghai. When one eats at the restaurant, one is served a tiny little “Barbie’s appetizer” of the sort that in many European restaurants is called a throat/ mouth/ tongue amusement or something similar, in any one of a dozen or more languages. This little item is very entertaining and it says a lot about the restaurant: one is slightly sweet, one is slightly sour, and one is slightly piquant. Consume it slowly and thoughtfully. With most orders, you will be served a small dish with minced not pressed garlic in it, covered with a darker liquid than soy sauce. This is so-called black vinegar, and I really like it served this way. I had never had a “soup dumpling” before, and, truth be told, I am not sure that I could’ve envisioned their existence until they confronted me, but they are spectacular and delicious, especially the pork ones. Do not get these soup dumplings to carry out or be delivered. Wait for the pandemic to pass so that you can eat them just as they are served in the restaurant. Other dishes that I consider delicious to the point of having spectacular characteristics are the pork pancake rolls, beef pancake rolls, egg & chive pancake rolls, the hot and sour tofu hot pot (!), every kind of dumpling that they make, the pork wonton in spicy sichuan sauce, and today, to my great satisfaction, I was introduced to the Chinese sausage with a handmade noodle that they call vermicelli, but it is rather wide. I have not eaten much fried rice since I first ate Chinese food a very long time ago. I ordered fried rice here and it was wonderfully toothsome and delicious. The pancake rolls are difficult to eat, but they are so tasty that they can be forgiven. The app that they use for takeout orders is rather buggy, and I find I prefer to order in person and sit down and read a book while they prepare the food. The warm, alert, and friendly staff are liable to recognize you if you eat there more than once, even if you wear an elaborate mask. This detail quite took my breath away. A slight preponderance of the clientele appears to me to have Asian ancestry. At my house, we can usually make four to six “person-meals“ from three orders of food from here. Overall, my feeling about this restaurant is the feeling I would have if I found a bag of gold dust on a forest trail. July, 2020: A new special, off menu, written on construction paper on the wall is “salt and pepper shrimp.” This is very lightly batter-dipped shrimp, in its shell, fried with assorted peppers, red, green, black. It is delicious.
