We ordered from here on seamless tonight, I was hesitant since they had no reviews but it looked really good and the food was really great!! We did the 8 ingredient mala tang and some sides. Standouts are the mala tang, okonomiyaki and fried dough sticks. The salt crispy chicken was good but wasn’t as crispy after travel so probably would be better in person. Dumplings were ok but overshadowed by how awesome the highlights were. We will definitely order from here again the next time we want mala tang!

Good spicy malatang, the food came out fast and there was no attitude from staff unlike what a lot of reviews say. It’s a small space though, so if you have a bigger group you might not be able to fit.
