I've been here once before and ordered the same lunch set, which consist of spicy chili oil wontons, shanghai soup bun (like xiao lung bao), and the lamb noodle soup. The cost is $98 for two with a choice of soy milk or tea for drinks. While I was not impressed with their food overall, I remembered that their lamb noodle soup was pretty good last time. Unfortunately, even that dish has deteriorated in quality during my recent visit. Lamb noodle soup - Last time, there was a distinct flavor of la
Lamb noodle soup - Last time, there was a distinct flavor of lamb in this dish, which is the sole reason I came back. This time, it was very disappoiting as I cannot taste the lamb in this dish at all. The noodle soup comes with shanghai noodles wtih cabbages and thin slices of lamb in it. The lamb were tasteless while the broth was oily and unflavorful. I had to add some hot sauce to make it more interesting to eat.
Spicy chili oil wontons - skin was hard and thick while I can't taste any flavor inside (no shrimp?). The sauce was more sweet than spicy. Size was too big for my liking as I like to be able to eat my wontons in one bite.
Shanghai soup buns - supposed to be bigger than xiao lung bao. Looks unsightly and shriveled up though. The bottom stuck to the paper, so the soup leaked out as we try to pry the bun off the wrapping. Can't taste the soup at all. The skin was thick and tough while the meat was average and too big in size. I like xiao lung bao better as it's easier to pop one in your mouth.
The environment is ghetto and the service is below average. For $50, you have better choices around here for lunch.
