Cheap food options — great prices. I personally wouldn’t get the duck again, wasn’t the most tender and had a lot of bones that were tough to navigate around. The pork however was good and tasted a lot more flavorful (almost sweet barbecue-y) and didn’t have that boney problem, it did have more fatty pieces throughout as expected but as someone who typically doesn’t enjoy fat, it was still pretty good. Probably wouldn’t hit up this place regularly as I prefer other spots in China town, I still think it’s a good place to get a decent amount of food for a cheap price. ✨Bring cash ✨There can and will be a line during typical peak hours

Came here for the famous buns! However because of the setup of our crawl, we got pork buns beforehand and settled for dumplings. The fried dumplings were great, pipping hot and full of stuffing. They give you a little side cup of soy sauce, it was nice. They have a few seating options outside their designated area, I’m not sure if they take card but as a rule of thumb, always bring cash to China town. Will be back to try the buns!

Truly delicious!:D Worth the hype, there was a line, as expected, it didn’t take too long, order came out in less than two minutes. The bun itself was warm, the inside was saucy and flavorful, bread was soft, I would totally come again to get some more :>>

Rating mostly based on my partners! The noodles are nicely cooked, saucy, and flavorful. Not my personal favorite but my partners a peanut butter lover and ofc they loved it! There was a line when we went, around 2/3pm. Service was fast however, we ordered to go and they had a few ready on a standby.

True authentic Ecuadorian food, you can’t go too wrong with anything in here, everything is delicious. They start you off with concón con seco as a little appetizer, some people ask for nuts as well. All their food is good and their portions are more than generous. If you have left overs (which you’ll more than likely have),they’ll typically ask if you want them to give you extra (broth for soups, rice for other dishes) without additional charge. All the servers are super sweet, been going here for years. CASH ONLY. Most main dishes range from $15-25. ✨photos AREN’T mine, but are from other reviewers on Google :) I go here so often I don’t really take any photos but I’m attaching them here for reference.

Not my favorite — this was my first time trying Thai food and I wasn’t too sure what to expect. Say to say it wasn’t for me. The broth of the soup was very sweet, I’m sure that’s someone’s cup of tea, it just wasn’t mine. The duck itself was good, tender, and decently sized. The noodles were soft and chewy, they weren’t my partners favorite, but sure were a favorite for me! The staff were super nice and friendly, I just don’t think I’d go back due to the food not being for me. But I’m sure it’s for someone!:)

I come here allllll the time! I get the same usual, teriyaki rice and if you’ve only ever had teriyaki outside the city or a real restaurant, I promise it tastes so much better here. Their appetizers are great as well. I wouldn’t consider this a high end amazing restaurant food wise. It’s closer to comfort food, the type of place you can arrive at any time and know you’re getting a good meal. Portion sizes are good for the regular person, I always get full off of just one main dish. Their boba isn’t my favorite, though, I haven’t had it in a while. I got a regular boba tea if I remember correctly and the boba balls tasted shampoo-y. I wouldn’t recommend those, but every other food item and drink I’ve had here has met my expectations. Overall would recommend always :)!

Their fresas con crema are so good, so creamy without being too sweet. Agua Fresca weren’t for me but Ik a lot of people who love them! The strawberry agua Fresca has this kind of banana-y taste to it as well. But it was good, just not my thing. Drinks are abt $8, fresas con crema are 12 :)
