We went as a group of 3 and ordered a bunch of different things to share. Everything we had was outstanding. We had the bao bread, fried chicken, dumplings, carbonara and the Denver steak. Forget what our dessert was called but it was also great. The service was top notch. Chris was our server and she did an excellent job of checking on us and ensuring we had water at all times. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and not a loud space. Safe to say Snow White laundry is going to be one of the best meals in the city.

The staff took such care of my celiac needs. I am so impressed. If I could I would come back here weekly, sadly only visiting. Service was excellent!! I wish I had a better photo of the other dishes but I dove in too quickly

We had the tuna tataki, crab gnocchi, dumplings and hot chicken and it was hard to choose a favorite!

If I had to pick faves I’d go with the duck, the dumplings and the carbonara, but it was all delicious. What made our dinner truly exceptional was the service and the atmosphere. We sat at the chef’s table and really enjoyed the opportunity to get the inside scoop on what was happening in the kitchen from Chef Ken Pittman’s super friendly and talented team. Unforgettable!
