This cozy Chinese restaurant at 2 Fenton Rd invites both locals and visitors alike to experience an authentic dining adventure filled with vibrant, carefully balanced flavors.
The menu showcases an enticing variety of dishes that beautifully highlight the diversity of Chinese cuisine. The steamed meat buns (bao) are the undeniable stars here — each bite bursts with a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. Favorites include the 鲜肉酸菜包 (Pork and Pickled Chinese Cabbage Bao), which masterfully combines tender pork with the subtle tang of pickled cabbage, and the indulgent 牛肉奶酪包 (Beef, Onions, and Cheese Bao), offering a rich, savory experience that surprises and delights. For a milder yet equally flavorful option, the 秘制鱼香肉丝包 (Pork, Agaric, and Carrot Bao) delivers a gentle hint of spice and umami.
Beyond the buns, the hot dishes offer a vibrant spectrum of tastes and textures. From the umami-packed 鱼香肉丝 (Shredded Pork With Garlic Sauce, Spicy) to the refreshing crunch in 爆炒牛肉青瓜 (StirFried Cucumber With Beef), each plate is crafted with care and balance. Vegetarians will find satisfaction in the 爆炒素杂菜 (StirFried Assorted Vegetable) and the delicately flavored 素炒笋尖 (StirFried Bamboo Shoots Tips). Complement your meal with a smooth, fragrant Original Milk Black Tea or the subtly sweet Taro Milk Tea to round out the dining experience.

Saw this place in our area open up for a few weeks now, decided to finally drop by. Got to try their tofu dish and steamed buns! Both dishes were really fresh and would definitely recommend to my friends. Give it a try if your in the area, we will be coming back soon! Owners are very nice people!

Very clean place. There are two small tables for dining in. The service was super friendly. I only had three breakfast items this first time: fried dough sticks (油條), soft tofu (豆腐花), and tea egg (茶葉蛋), plus a soy drink. Everything was very tasty. Next time I’ll try their specialty buns (生煎包) for sure. Thumbs up .
