I had the beef & curry dumpling & it was good but the lady seemed super sour & impatient from the moment we walked in. I read the reviews & came because it said the staff was super friendly but I did not experience that; would not come back.

My partner & I were originally going to do takeout but when we read the other reviews of the staff being so friendly, we wanted to see for ourselves. The reviews don't lie! & the Beef curry dumplings are SOOO packed with flavour, you gotta try them. We'll definitely be back & we even got recommendations from our server for our upcoming trip to China. Thank you!!

Amazing dumplings! I ordered #2, #6, & #19 & they were all amazing. The flavour of the chicken curry dumpling (#6) is what stood out from all that I've ordered. Dumplings had a good size, texture, & definitely taste. I am sure that I will go back here the next time I'm in town.

Love to discover neighborhood family-run places! Had the cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, lamb & oregano steamed dumplings & the chicken curry friend dumplings: outstanding! Also loved the dainty teacups for the green tea. Sweet ladies, great service with smiles all around. Gave atmosphere 5 stars because no, it's not a trendy hipster joint, but a clean & functional space with soft Asian music in the background. Charming!
