7.6
A Michigan Avenue spot that blends dumplings and Taiwanese/Chinese-leaning comfort with a more café-to-dinner rhythm, including brunch hours. It’s best when you stick to the items that travel well on the menu—dumplings and a focused starch—rather than chasing breadth across the long list.
Must-Try Dishes:
Soup dumplings, Beef rolled pancake, Karaage chicken
What Makes it Special: Dumplings-and-comfort menu with a brunch-to-dinner schedule on Michigan Ave.
