Stopped by for dinner with my brother — the place looked really cute and had a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold; I wish our server had been a little more welcoming. As for the food, the dumplings were just okay, and the garlic chicken didn’t have much flavor. I’m giving it three stars because I understand every place can have an off day, and I’d be open to trying it again another time. - Diana Ocampo
