“ This is now my favorite dumpling spot! This is everything we ordered. My personal fav was the soup dumplings ”
“ Food was so delicious! Highly recommend the spicy wontons. The staff is super attentive and nice. Definitely worth the visit!! ”
“ Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered way too much and had leftovers. The stir fried green beans were amazing! ”
“ Wow! Great food, amazing service! Came here for a late lunch on Xmas eve, place was fairly busy but we got a table right away. They give you tablets to order on and then recap the order before it gets submitted, which I liked a lot. Food came out pretty fast, the pork bao was excellent, the green onion pancakes were great, the sesame chicken with fried rice was very good, the pork dumplings were good, the only thing that wasn't great were the soup dumplings as they were falling apart. Definitely will come back, service was great and very attentive with drinks. Nice job! ”
“ This place is good for both drinks and food! It's a Mala Chili restaurant with a Yomie's Rice x Yogurt inside--the best of both worlds! ”
“ Possibly the best dry chili chicken I've had. Been dreaming about it and it's consistent! Every time, the chicken comes out temperature hot with the perfect amount of spice. We also love the stir fried green beans. They taste so fresh, have the perfect crunch each bite, and just amazing. We did order the braised beef brisket and it was good, but not for the price/amount. I love that rice comes out in a big pot with refills for free!! Service always has been friendly. They do have a large tv on one wall and had SpongeBob playing with no sound last time we went lol. They sometimes use the robot to bring out the food with music. Overall, a great spot for some Chinese food and close to hmart to do grocery shopping after! ”
“ We recently visited this Chinese restaurant while in the area for a grocery trip, and it absolutely lived up to the rave reviews we had heard. Inspired by other recommendations, we ordered the spicy chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, popcorn chicken, and hot and sour soup. Everything exceeded our expectations. First, I have to mention the rice--it was incredible! I rarely think to comment on rice in reviews, but it was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and generous in portion. We were thrilled to have a full to-go box of rice left over, which was perfect for our family-style dining. Now, onto the dishes: * Spicy Chicken: Cooked to perfection with bold, flavorful seasoning. * Popcorn Chicken: Crispy, fried just right, and full of flavor. * Salt and Pepper Shrimp: Another hit--crispy and tasty with a great balance of seasoning. * Hot and Sour Soup: A warm, comforting classic that was just right. The only thing we missed was a dish with a stir-fry sauce or gravy to complement the meal and balance out the crispy, fried dishes. It's something we'll definitely order on our next visit, which we're already looking forward to. This restaurant is a must-visit if you're in the area, and we can't wait to explore more of their menu soon! You can order online for pick up which was convenient. ”
“ I was invited to a friend's food event featuring Mala chili, so we got to sample a wide variety of dishes. We went on a Friday night, and it wasn't too crowded, making for a comfortable experience. The waiter was very helpful, taking the time to explain each dish, and there was an impressive selection to choose from. Overall, the food was good, though not exceptional. However, there were two standout dishes that I'd return for: the spicy chicken and the pepper vine sauerkraut fish--they were both fantastic! With such a large menu, I'd definitely come back to enjoy my favorites again and try a few new dishes. ”
