Food is amazing--honestly one of the best places to get noodles in Santa Cruz. Not to mention the service was great and our server was very outgoing, kind, and talkative. Shoutout to Eagle!

My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night and the food was so yummy! Service was fast and the workers were all friendly. Ambience was very nice inside.We got the beef noodle soup, pan fried dumplings, green beans, and soup dumplings and every bite was so flavorful. Definitely would come again! :)

The service was amazing! They were super quick. We were craving chinese so we ordered way too much! Ashamed to say but we finished almost all.. Everything was great, but my favourite was the beans, my husband loved the noodle soup ( it had a kind of pepper that makes your mouth numb) and our daughter loved the sesame balls and coconut balls. I've had chow mein many times before, but this one was completely different. The noodles were thick and full, incredibly delicious. I don't usually like chow mein, but we ordered it because my daughter loves it. I'm so glad we did--I ended up eating it all!My overall experience was so good, I would definetely come back.

The food was great. The service was good and I would definitely come back for more. We shared the soup dumplings and a noodle dish, don't remember which one. Both dishes were great my friend couldn't stop eating the noodles! Definitely will come here again and definitely recommend!

The restaurant is nicely decorated. Order from a QR code and food begins to arrive at our table. We were ambitious to try as much as we could between three of us. Every item tasted super fresh with delicious soup broth in the dumplings. The cucumber salad was light and refreshing. We definitely stuffed ourselves, but the only thing we couldn't finish and had to take as leftovers was the scallion pancakes.Would definitely visit again.

Came because I was violently craving some good quality soup dumplings and was so impressed. We were seated immediately on Saturday afternoon, you know a place is going to be good when the servers speak little English. Pork xiao long bao were incredible! Filled with the most comforting broth and tender meat filling. They're held together by a perfectly thin hand rolled skin. They only come with six but are generously portioned out and pretty filling as well. Pan fried soup dumplings were amazing as well, fried to golden perfection with a crispy bottom. They're FILLED with that delicious broth, but I will say I wish there was a bit more meat in these. Overall a very casual vibe to the restaurant, you're in and out pretty quickly. Can't wait to come back to try some of their other menu items!

No wait, and the food came out fast. Overall, pretty clean place with cool plates and super tasty dumplings, I loved them! We ordered the Pork Soup Pan Fried Buns ($13.99) and the Beef Pot Noodle Soup ($23.99). The soup had a strong ginger flavor, which I didn't mind. The dumplings were perfect--the soup inside was so flavorful, and the crispy bottom was just right!

Second time going to this place with Hubby and the service has improved a lot. Food is as good as the first time and very consistent. We have ordered 4 dishes this time. All very good. The waiter warned us how hot the pan fried dumplings were before we ate them. Good job!!!

I visited this restaurant for Lunar New Year dinner, choosing it based on its 4.4-star Yelp rating. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. After the first dish arrived, I requested small sauce plates and chili sauce for the dumplings. Despite asking twice, these items never came. I eventually took chili sauce from a neighboring table and poured the dumpling sauce directly onto the dumplings due to the lack of sauce plates. The food was mediocre; I've had better dumplings elsewhere. The soup dumplings fell apart when picked up, spilling the broth. When I wanted to take the remaining dumplings to go, I had to walk to the front to request containers and ask for the bill.Dishes ordered: * Pork and Crab Roe Soup Dumplings * Steamed Soup Dumplings * Spicy Pan-fried Pork Buns * Braised Rib with Mixed Noodles/Rice

It's getting so expensive to eat out nowadays everywhere so I won't comment too much on that. My memory is horrible and I feel like the price went up slightly? Dumplings! This place always hits the spot. Beats going to the mall and waiting for DTF, and I feel like they have more of a variety. You want any combination of dough and meat pan fried, boiled, steamed, you got it. The small appetizer dishes are flavorful and a perfect segue to the main course. This last time, I ordered too much and totally forgot about the ribs and rice dish that came out at the end. I was stuffed, but really surprised how good that dish was! I kept eating until it hurt. The ambiance is a bit fluorescent, neon, and bright, and I think we are coming in at hours before people are really dining, but it's never taken away from the meal.
