Great Chinese new restaurant 😋 just opened..

Great soup dumplings! Love the chicken mein noodles. Spoke to the owner a little. Nice lady. We will be back.

I lived in China for over 4 years. This is such a great addition to Long Beach which has been greatly missing more authentic Chinese food.

The staff were all really great here and provided good service. The interior is basic, but clean.

For food we tried the popcorn shrimp, popcorn chicken, scallion pancake, short rib noodles, chicken soup dumplings, chicken and shrimp soup dumplings, oxtail noodle soup, and broccoli.

For four people we finished it all, and maybe we ate a little too much, but it was so good.

This is the only spot for soup dumplings in Long Beach and its such a great addition to the city's food scene.

The noodles and dumpling wrappers are all made fresh in the restaurant.

The food in order of most to least favorite:

The soup dumplings were amazing.

The noodle soup was also excellent.

The fried short rib noodles were great.

The popcorn shrimp and chicken were very good.

The scallion pancake was good, but I probably wouldn't order that one again.

Overall its great and I would definitely come back.

I'm happy Long Beach can have this now.

Great location, and glad for options if you can’t go too far for XLB. Enjoyed the XLB (more broth than “the others”), short rib fried rice. Also ordered chicken noodle soup & popcorn chicken. Overall, flavors are distinct but disparate, the food tastes good but would taste better to me if everything played together as a team. Def will come back to try crispy dumplings.

Sooo yummy! We ordered delivery on one of their first nights open and everything was amazing. The flavors were great and everything was cooked to perfection. I specifically really enjoyed the short rib noodles. Additionally, they threw in some complimentary XLB & green beans which i thought was so nice. I was surprised how well the XLB held up in delivery—not mushy or anything. The only issue I have is that the food is very expensive and you can definitely get similar food for a cheaper price elsewhere. Overall I still highly recommend trying it!
