Happy Hour fills fast — especially Thursday and Friday. Walk in early for the best seating and fastest service.
The Pork Soup Dumpling at $8 for 6 pieces is the best value-per-quality deal on the East Coast for handmade XLB. Don't miss it.
Order 2–3 dumpling varieties, one appetizer, and drinks. Total per person: $12–$18. Total enjoyment: immeasurable.
Our Brown Sugar Boba drops to $4.50 at Happy Hour. That's less than most coffee shops — for a far more interesting drink.
Not sure what to order? These are the highest-value, best-tasting combinations at Happy Hour pricing — tried by our regulars and ordered by the table.
Happy Hour is Mon–Fri 3–6PM, dine-in only. Here's how to build the perfect Happy Hour order and maximize value without sacrificing quality.
Order the Pork Soup Dumplings first — $8.00 at Happy Hour vs. $11.50 regular. They take 8 minutes to steam, so ordering them immediately means they arrive while everything else is still fresh. One order per person is the standard opening.
Egg Fried Rice ($9.20) is the ideal pairing for XLB — the rice absorbs the broth that spills onto your plate and provides balance to the rich filling. Order one for the table to share. Sesame Noodles ($10.35) work equally well and are vegan.
Cucumber Salad ($5.75 at Happy Hour) or Edamame ($4.00 at Happy Hour) serve as palate cleansers between XLB orders. The cool, acidic cucumber cuts through the richness of the pork and broth and prepares you for the next basket.
Brown Sugar Boba ($4.50 at Happy Hour vs. $6.50 regular) is the ideal closer. The sweetness and creaminess of the milk tea cuts the lingering savory and spice from the meal. House-cooked tapioca pearls, real black sugar — not powder.
