The fried dumplings and noodles here are absolutely delicious! They also have steamed dumplings available if you prefer something less oily. The staff is friendly and attentive. On one occasion, when there was an issue with my order, they quickly prepared a new meal for me. While there are a few vegetarian choices like sesame noodles and veggie buns, keep in mind that all the dumplings contain pork, so it may not be ideal if you're looking for a complete vegetarian meal. You can enjoy your meal on-site or opt for takeout.

The food tastes pretty good, but I took off one star because the price doesn't seem justified. I could hardly see or taste any "salted egg yolk." I recognize what it should look like, but it seemed like it was ground up and mixed with soy sauce, and I just couldn’t taste it. It was nice to give it a try, but I think I'll choose something else next time. However, I will be back since this is the closest place to get Dim Sum in this area, haha. San Francisco and Chicago do a much better job, but I have to manage my expectations living in such a small college town. For glutinous rice cakes, though, I'll definitely be spending my money at Oasis next time. When cooked properly, the frozen ones taste just as good!

Good service, and not too long wait time. The menu screens took awhile to properly order but the wait staff were all friendly and helpful with the menu. The food were all good and delicious.

A small eatery famous for its fried dumplings. Besides that, it serves cold noodles, steam buns, soups and fountain drinks, that's all. The fried dumplings are different from potstickers, as they are completely fried to form a crispy yet a little hard shell. I would prefer potstickers with only the bottom deep fried. The apple pieces makes the cold noodle bowl unique. I've never seen people do that before and I think to put apple pieces is a brilliant idea: apple's sweet taste neutralize the hot flavor from the noodle source. Hot and sour soup is similar as other Chinese restaurants but is spicier. Will come and try the buns next time.

We had chicken, vegetables and traditional dumplings which were fine. The sweet and sour soup however had a very strong seaweed flavor which really did not like.
