Really innovative Asian fusion and friendly staff . You can't go wrong with the kale salad , chorizo dumplings , and sweet potato churros . Eat everything!

Aida

For dinner , be aware that the shrimp have the heads on. It's an intense sight! The lamb noodles are FANTASTIC, the maple panna cotta is a dream, & the buttered fire cider can cure your bitter soul

Serious Eats

Brick-and-mortar version of the Mei siblings' food truck . Expect the usual faves, like the Double Awesome and braised beef dumplings , and bigger plates like pork chops and fried pork trotter terrine .

Terence Chan

Double awesome , lemongrass pork dumplings with cottage bacon , steamed bun , everything was very tasty! Def get the soy aioli sauce ! 4.5/5

BU Today

This popular food truck has set up a brick & mortar shop in South Campus serving up Asian comfort food classics like sweet potato & sage dumplings and sandwiches made with scallion pancakes .

Cortney Evans

Scallion pancake perfection, which is an incredibly rare thing. Crispy outside, perfectly chewy middle. Not oily, not doughy. Just perfect. Going to be my new food craving for sure.

Claire Ha

Cute addition to the neighborhood . The Double Awesome is so messy, but soooo worth it. Eat it with spicy ketchup and you'll be addicted!

Samantha L.

the dumplings , corn fritters , and porridge are all amazing! then of course there's the infamous double awesome . a fabulous addition to BU's south campus!

Charlene

We took the pierogi dumplings , the three sisters dumplings , and the sweet corn fritters . The first and the third were amazing, and the middle was meh.

Reserve

The Beekeeper’s Salad is an entree-sized serving of fresh greens , herbs, yogurt , pecans , Bloomsday cheese and honey . Read more

If a lot of people want the same drink, ask for a pitcher instead of ordering separately! Since they're a small family business , they're really friendly and accommodating :)

Chris Mills

Everything is tasty, but they have a different menu for dinner than for lunch , and notably the double awesome is missing. Double sadness.

Gianna Nebbia

Wings (picture), pork shoulder and cabbage salad were all good. They serve generous portions of wine .

Katherine Isham

Awesome food but definitely 9n the pricey side. Get a small plate and a large plate and split them both to bring down the price.

Stephanie

Don't be a fool, eat the Kung Pao chicken dip ! Best creation ever.
