Fresh dumplings which have never let me down. Still, my favorite's probably the addictive popcorn chicken side.
Only weakness in the menu would be the curry; it's perfectly adequate, & the portion's good, but it's not spicy & just a little bland.
Really great value & taste in the fried buns, but if you take these to-go, ask them not to close/staple the bag; steam condensates in the little box if it cannot escape, & while the buns won't turn soggy, it's still better without that.
Service is friendly & solid, the plating is good, no complaints. You can expect 15-20 before tax for a decent meal, but it's dangerously easy to add more. I mean what's just another twelve dumplings right?
Even the location's good; this is immediately next to awesome ice cream puffs.
Amazing food & great service! The quality of the dishes was excellent. The pan-fried buns were especially delicious - very juicy, flavorful, & packed with meat inside. The dumplings were also amazing, full of filling & tasted very fresh. Everything came out hot & well prepared. The servers provided excellent service throughout the meal - very friendly, attentive, & welcoming. Definitely a place I would come back to again for future meals. Highly recommend!

These pork & chive dumplings are seriously impressive! The bottoms are perfectly pan-fried to a golden crisp, with that beautiful lace-like'crispy skirt' that adds both visual appeal & an amazing crunch in every bite.
The filling is just as good-juicy, flavorful pork combined with fresh chives that aren't overpowering. The balance is spot on, making each bite rich but not greasy.
Overall, it's the perfect contrast of crispy on the outside & tender on the inside. You can really tell care went into making these. Definitely ordering again-highly recommended!
I was looking for a place for a quick eat with my family, & what a nice surprise we've got. It was an amazing experience! Super friendly, family-style atmosphere. The chef came out to chat with us & present the food, which made it feel really special. The dumplings were delicious, don't miss the BBQ pork pan-fried buns. & the caramel flan was the perfect dessert. Great value for the quality!
The name of the restaurant is exactly what you would see when you walk in, 3 madames 😀. One taking order, one wrapping dumplings & one in the kitchen.
From their simple but realistic restaurant's name, you could expect the same style for the food.
The food here is simply good! Taking a bite & you know exactly what you are eating. If you often cook at home, you would recognize easily all the ingredients & seasonings. The food here does make me feel like eating at home 💯.
I did not have a MSG shock, did not sense any strange smell or taste, no diarrhea after, which are all things I have experienced from other big chain dumplings in downtown...
So, this place is great! Give it a try. I tried dumpling soup, xiaolongbao & fried buns, all are good. Chef's choice means assorted fillings, a good choice for first-time customers.
They have dumpling with fried-egg filling, which was new to me & it was good 👍
UPDATE
been 2 more times after my initial review & was disappointed. They changed their recipe based on some comments from people because xiao long bao go get that soup requires gelatin & fat & apparently that upset some people. Please, do not go to other cultures then ask them to modify the recipes, go elsewhere or order regular dumplings. I wish they didn't fold to these requests. I don't know if they reverted it back to the original recipe since. It just wasn't as juicy & as good because of the modifications. Sammi soup dumpling it is!
ORIGINAL review:
DELICIOUS, you must try, will be back again.
Had xiao long bao, the pork was sold out :( got the chicken & mushroom & it was so good. Also had the beef curry dumpling & pork coriander pan fried dumpling & the cucmber entree. Every single thing was perfectly delicious. Very flavorful, juicy, tender, the right texture for the filling & the skin (all home made) & the skin was just thin enough. Loved all of it! There is a lady that sits at the front making dumplings non stop.
I'd suggest doing dine in for xiao long bao, I don't think you'll get the same experience with take out or delivery. There are a few tables inside, nicely lit, it's a cute spot to eat in. The lady serving us (one of the 3 madames that own this joint) was super sweet.
You can also order water or tea (& tea isn't charged extra) so it's a great authentic Chinese experience :) Highly recommend! I want to try everything on the menu.
amazing quality dumplings, savory & chunky. cute menu. have tried a few dumpling places but have been coming back here many times since my discovery; for dine-in & delivery. my favorites are the xiao bao long broth dumplings chicken/shrimp/scallop & the chicken/mushroom/shrimp & I keep coming back for those especially! also had the fried buns with beef curry, beef & corn dumplings & the wonton soup waw! even the dumplings in the little soup were well filled. love this place
Cute little gem. I tried a couple different dumplings with the'chefs choice' so they pick the popular ones & bring them. The lamb dumpling was delicious. You can pick steamed or fried. The wonton soup was good too. The fried dumplings are my fave personally. Would definitely come back!
