A very delicious and authentic restaurant. The service was pleasant and attentive. For the first time in five years, I finally had real 锅包肉 and 地三鲜, although the 家常莲菜 was a little too sour and a bit soggy. Still, I will definitely come back here again!

Super great food, staff, and value! One of the few places where you can eat authentic northern Chinese food.

The best Chinese food I ever eat for long time. This is the first time I was impressed with the taste, portion and service. This place should be a must to visit when you are in Chinatown area.

Very delicious and they always give generous amount of food! I’ve been coming here over 2 years now and they never seem to disappoint. The dry hot pot here is really good and you can choose from a variety of vegetables and meat. The service is also exceptional!

This is such a gem in Bridgeport! Delicious tasting food and great value as well. I love their clear noodle salad and fish in spicy chili oil. We also had soup dumping and beef with pickle mustard and they are good as well. We had plenty of leftovers for next few days. Must come and try!

Authentic northeastern Chinese cuisine with very friendly service. Ordered 酸菜白肉,小鸡炖蘑菇,羊肉烧麦,京酱肉丝,锅包肉. The dishes I had photos of are really good. 锅包肉 batter is very thick and not tasty. Servers are so nice and constantly checking on us to see if we need anything.

Their spicy cold Korean noodles were OUTSTANDING — the perfect dish for a hot day. We also loved the string beans and spicy numbing stir-fry. The soup dumplings were tasty, but not as strong as the others. Can’t wait to go back!
