The eatery provides both indoor and outdoor seating options with a total capacity to accommodate 100 customers. The menu currently mirrors the offerings found at the company’s other locations, focusing heavily on traditional Sichuan-style flavors and various dumpling preparations.
The restaurant’s signature item is the pork soup dumplings, also known as xiao long bao, which are priced at $12.99 for an order of six. Customers can choose from several other dumpling varieties, with prices varying based on the filling.
