The value was fantastic - we shared 5 small plates and a large noodle bowl and 2 beers and only paid 22$ for both of us. The pig ear was soft and I like it deep fried but I'm sure this was authentic. Scallion pancake was a bit too greasy but the noodles were good but a bit heavy. Service and decor was enjoyable.

Many Chinese eating there, but I wasn't impressed with the food. The onion pancakes were pretty dull and dry and none of the food except the soupy noodles were interesting. Service is not great.

The place is crowded, noisy, and service chaotic. As former regular, my wife and I were often moved a smaller table after seating. We noticed non-asians consistently received better treatment. We finally returned again. They again denied a good table and offered it to (caucasian) couple behind us. The couple were then offered an even better table. I've never been treated like this anywhere else. Can they make this discrimination more obvious.

Lots of small dishes -- this is like Chinese tapas, only the plates have more than in a Spoanish place. I've eaten in 100s of Chinese restaurants and never had food like this: northern Chines. Not your average Chin ese restaurant. Not one of 15 dishes I have had has been bad, and some have been very very good. Second best Chinese restaurant in the DC area, after Hollywood East dim sum.

The cucumber salad is addictive. I love the Chinese-style fried chicken and fried pork. Steamed dumplings are unique and tasty. Wonton soup is excellent. In this authentic dim sum restaurant, diners receive a paper menu and pen, and are instructed to circle the number of each dish they are ordering. Dishes are prepared to order, rather than coming out of the kitchen on carts. It's tiny and inexpensive, and very satisfying!
