This hip and stylish dumpling-and-noodle shop started a culinary Chinese revolution on Kansas City’s Restaurant Row by presenting unexpected dishes — Ants on a Tree (cellophane noodles with minced pork), Chinese pot roast, flavored bubble teas — in an unabashedly California Cool setting. There are lots of vegetarian choices (the vegan set flocks to the place) and an excellent selection of fragrant hot teas, for those who might prefer jasmine to gin with their roasted duck wraps. — Charles Ferruzza

i went for the first time last friday and was blown away by the superb taste /atmosphere/price/service. my sister and i just happened to go there since the Jazz restaraunt was so packed and we did not want to wait. We both were very satisfied
China Moon and Duck Wrap make for a superb meal value.

Good food but the customer service needs work!
I made reservations for 7 at 6:30pm. Seating was almost immediate. Our waitress was efficient and knowledgeable.
The spicy chili meat wantons were outstanding! The Pot Roast wast tasty and very tender as always. I had the Ants in a Tree. That dish is slightly spicy/sweet and I even make it at home sometimes. The shrimp in black bean sauce was ordered also and was very good.
BUT.....
My son ordred the pork wraps or pork infusion. The pork was marinated in a peanut sauce. He did not like it at all. I tried the meat and it was tender but almost tasteless. The waitress took the dish back and he ordered pork dumplings which he loved.
Overall the evening was very good except for the fact that they would not take my sons dish that was sent back off the bill! I was not in the mood to ruin a good evening by arguing, but I knew I would get the word out about this error in customer service.
I love:
Ants in a Tree
Chinese Pot Roast
spicy Chili Wantons
I do not care for:
The tapioca beads in my tea!
The Mango ice cream tastes like Mango/Celery ice cream.
