Everything here could be improved. Imo. First the restaurant is freezing like they didn't bother to adjust the heat to the outside weather. It was noticeably cold... instantly. The over all ambiance is not really that great. Why? Torn awning outside. The mop/bucket is out in front of the bar. A broom/standing dust pan is in front of the hostess stand. Hostess stand un manned, despite the broom combo. There are large boxes and boxes piled up along the entire back wall, stacked haphazardly in the formal dining room, giving off a super messy vibe as its in clear view. The place smells clean so thats a pro. Yelps health score rating showed a 100% from the last dept of health rating so I didn't cancel the order but I was still unsettled. You wonder what I ordered: I ordered was a shrimp/chive bun and a soup. Was expecting it 5.75 total as that is what the menu says. Found it to be over 8 dollars. Thats a big difference. When I brought that to their attention they said oh the prices are wrong on the menu. Pretty sure thats illegal to do that with pricing. That irritated me, but I just smiled and vowed never ever to return. Then when I looked at the food when I got home... the chive bun was a few tiny potstickers. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting a bun dumpling or bao shaped item. As I said I didnt eat any of it. Im seriously tossing the food. I got a bad vibe I cant get over the messy box situation. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Plus The fact that its 10-20 outside and their heat isnt turned up inside just doesnt sit well with me. Hard pass for me.

I can't speak about the service or ambiance since I only ordered food twice from Uber eats.I am not sure if Americanized Chinese cuisine is not there thing, but all of the dishes have just been okay to not the best.I tried their soup dumplings, egg drop soup, sesame chicken, honey chicken, eggplant and garlic sauce dish, and pork fried rice.The two times I ordered food I ended up having a stomach ache. I don't think it's because the food is bad, but rather because it's super fresh.The best two things I ate were the soup dumplings and egg drop soup. The egg drop soup is standard and tastes how you would expect. The soup dumplings were tasty but unfortunately not soupy. They may just not transport well.The chicken is not good. The cuts of meat they use are tough and the texture is a bit unappealing. I also felt like the honey chicken was wayy too sweet. The sesame chicken had a good flavor but was soggy and had an off extremely chewy textureThe eggplant has great flavor but is really greasy. If it had less grease it would be an awesome dish.Lastly the pork fried rice was okay, the pork was well prepared but there was very few pieces. It was mainly just fried rice with some veggies, and a couple bites of meat. I just feel like for the price it was not worth it. Also though the pork was tasty the rice itself was pretty bland. Overall based on these two orders I don't plan to eat here again and believe there are better places in the area.

We stopped by Saturday morning excited for some Dim Sum. Since their Dim Sum menu was smaller, was thinking they just were their specialties.Unfortunately I seemed like all the dim sum was frozen and reheated. Was super bummed not to get more authentic goods.

Made me wait because they cannot properly put orders in system. Gave people that came in after me their food first. My order was placed 20 minutes before arrival and made me wait 15 more minutes. The slip didn't have my time until after I arrived. No apologies or anything. Just gave me the food and walked away.

Hidden gem!! The location isn't great, but the food makes the trip worth it! We started with the hot and sour soup and it's the best I've ever had! I got the cilantro pork and it was very tasty. My only critique was a couple bites of pork were fatty, but that can happen anywhere. Mom had the shrimp with broccoli and loved it. We will definitely be back!!

When searching Columbus for soup dumplings, Helen's came up. We've been wanting to try this place for years, literally years.It was a very cold winter day, and I decided I NEEDED soup dumplings... so today was the day for Helen's.We, per usual, ordered a lot to be able to get a feel and a taste for everything. I obviously order dumplings.. in addition to mala string beans, white and fried rice, steamed pork buns, and a few main dishes..... the soup dumplings had 0 soup in them -- the taste was fine, just missing the most important ingredient... the beans needed more spice, and the main dishes weren't memorable (as I don't remember what we ordered).While the meal was filling, it was a little of a let down.While I am not saying I wouldn't give it another try, I don't think it will be anytime soon.

Family owned restaurant. the food is very consistent. It is a little oily and doesn't have that much flavor , but I'd rather prefer that than be overly seasoned with MSG and salt.

Really wanted this to be good, it just wasn't seems like a carry out situation for the most part. Leaky ceiling and half our food was cold.

The service was really amazing, the host is so friendly and explained everything in detail, even willing to customize orders to help customers enjoy their meal. the atmosphere is great. This is southern Chinese cooking style on dishes from around China and Hong Kong. Personally I would like more spice, but that's in a different area of China z
