I dont think I have ever loved a meal more! I got the chicken dumplings in Sichuan sauce and the chicken scallion pancake wrap... and it was genuinely fantastic. The space is small and unassuming but the folks working there are so friendly and have createda truly fantastic environment in which to serve up amazing eats. Read more
Little Chinese restaurant that seems to be family owned (not sure). We ordered the pork belly buns ($8), the beef scallion... pancake/wrap ($8), and a spicy noodle soup ($12). Was really excited for the deep fried buns but they happened to be out whenwe went. Food came out quickly, and the beef scallion pancake was great! However, in the future, I will steer clear of the porkbelly buns. The pork belly was fatty but far more chewy/rubbery than melt-in-your-mouth as I expected. They have other fillingoptions like chicken, etc., which may be better (haven't tried). My friend had the noodle soup, which was nice and heenjoyed. Might come back for the deep fried buns but not sure! Felt a bit overpriced for the quality, but maybe I would feeldifferently about a different selection. Read more
Pretty authentic and a quick place to grab a bite. I got the scallion pancake beef wrap. Anything scallion pancake here is... delicious. I also recommend the shrimp steamed dumplings. The inside is a bit small if it becomes busy and you are looking for aseat, but take out is also an option here too. Read more
Bess's Café is a cute little place with great food. We got the beef noodle soup, pork noodle soup, pork buns, and pork & chive... dumplings. Service was friendly, wait time was reasonable, and we really enjoyed the food. People came and went, bringingtake-out with them, as others filed in for dine-in meals. The owners accommodated everyone efficiently, and we sat thereenjoying our meal. I would recommend the pork soup over the beef soup, but that may be personal preference. Neither wasdisappointing. Definitely get the pork buns. Read more

Scallion pancakes were really crispy and delicious. Everything was piping hot which is always great. Steamed buns were very soft... and the veggie filling was tasty. Dan Dan noodles had really great flavor but could have been a bit spicier. They were out ofthe veggie dumplings but will try it next time! Read more
