Review from a fellow Chinese person:
Pork Postickers (8) is super large in size compared to other places, but not pan fried crispy enough. Still too soft.
Egg Fried Rice about average-good. Not greasy and nice eggy flavor. Large portion.
Pork XiaoLongBao (8) the best out of the pickings imo. Thin delicate skin that doesn't disintegrate from picking it up. Wish there was more soup inside. Great sauce to go with it tho. How to eat: Chew off the top (twisted top) of the dumpling and then pour the sweet sauce into it like a cup, and enjoy.
Black & Gold Molten Lava Bun (3) really good soft and dough-y bun! Buns baked right! Still getting accustomed to the sweet oil inside the bun which gives it a "lava" effect, compared to the OG custard buns, this is really runny in a oily way. Get it for the experience, but don't get it if you dislike oily texture.
Shrimp Dumplings (10) you get 10 pieces. A bit smaller on size, but that's because the skin is nice and thin (other places have thicker skin). Good choice.

I don't know if it was an off day. If you serve Pork Lumpia (6) serve the sauce. Give either vinegar or sweet chili sauce if nothing else.
Serve the food correctly prior sending it off to DoorDash, the Pan Fried Pork Bun (6)is more like a pork soup dumpling (see pictures). First bite got all over my coat, and it's pretty bland. Both this and the lumpia taste like they were microwaved and/or quickly fried.
The Shanghai Chowmein was overly oily. Lacked almost any flavor through the oil but was a decent portion.
Try Teapot if you're looking for something similar and far better quality that has actual flavor.
These three items with tip was $57 which is robbery.

Everything is even better than the last time we ordered (just a couple months ago?). Pork XiaoLongBao (8) and Pork Postickers (8) are really good. The Beef Rolls are heavy but so well-seasoned. The Sauteed Garlic Green Bean don't even feel like vegetables since they are such a delight. The garlic sauce is great with everything and they are generous with the amount they give you. Thanks for saving our hungover friend.

The potstickers were packed with pork and full of flavor. The lumpia was crisp on the outside with delicious pork and veggie filling. Very good food!
