Très bon repas. La sauce aux arachides est très bonne. Je vais essayer autre chose sur le menus la prochaine fois. Je vous recommande d'essayer les xiao long bao pour un 1er essai je vous recommande les porcs sucrés x2 & aussi les X6 porc, poireaux & crevettes. Ils sont vraiment délicieux ça vaut la peine d'essayer. Moi-même je suis ne suis pas un fan de pâtes cuit à la vapeur mais ceux-ci sont vraiment exceptionnels. La sauce aux arachides est excellente je vous recommande d'essayer C4.

Delicious- from the Pork & Coriander Long bao to the General Tao (with actual chicken not scraps of gross leftovers), & very good portion sizes, it is worth a trip or even to order via Uber. They even have Lotus Lead Sticky Rice! Some dishes last me two meals or can be shared as the portions are generous - even the small wonton soup. Very clean & tidy restaurant.

Je recommande, c'est vraiment très bon. Ils ont la meilleure sauce aux arachides ! Nous commandons régulièrement le Poulet sauce aux arachides & le Poulet Général Tao, & nous sommes toujours satisfait. Bonne portion, prix raisonnable. Nous aimons aussi varier les saveurs des Xiao Long Bao & des Dumplings, vapeur ou fris, c'est un bel accompagnement. Les thé aux perles (Bubble Tea) sont aussi très bon !

I almost don't want to rate this place so high, in case more people find it! Some of the BEST dumplings I've had on the South Shore. Xiao long bao were beautiful, tons of flavour, & plenty of soup. Lots of options for fried & steamed dumplings, as well as more typical plates for friends who prefer noodles/fried foods. Service was a little confused (different servers kept coming back to my table after I'd already paid) but I can't wait to go back!
