The food was delicious, especially the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). You can also buy frozen ones to take away. Thank you, boss.

Wow, the minced pork noodle here was comparable to those I ate at the “ATAS” hotels. Sauce was thick, plenty of minced pork and cucumber slices. Noodle was QQ (springy).
