AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the vegetarian ravioli, calling it a standout, while the overall vibe is warm and comforting, perfect for a cozy dim sum fix.
“These green vegetarian ones are cute, but I don't remember them for a reason — probably because I didn't like them. They're soft and take the shape of water, with spinach, carrots, and other stuff I'd never eat as a kid. Not satisfying like the others. The guilt goes away, but it's not a pleasant experience. It tastes like a slap in the face, like a reproach. I don't like it much.”

Baozi al vapore con maiale
These steamed buns with pork are insane. The dough is incredible, really soft and fluffy. The pork filling is compact and well-seasoned, with a light garlic and vegetable kick. Each one is a journey. I'd drown myself in these ravioli, honestly. They're my favorite of the bunch.
Ravioli al nero di seppia con gamberi
These black squid ink ravioli with shrimp are very interesting. I really liked them. The shrimp pops in your mouth, and the clam on the other side creates a beautiful harmony of fireworks. It's like Ace of linguine alle vongole, but better than the ones in Corfu. The texture is amazing.

Ravioli al pollo e gambero con uova di pesce
These yellow ones have chicken, shrimp, and fish roe on top. There's the lifted consistency of the chicken on one side, but also a little pop and crunch from the roe and the outer skin. It's cute, light, and mild. I'd dip it in soy sauce to give it a little kick.
