Une expérience absolument fantastique sur l'avenue Somerled. Tout était délicieux & parfaitement préparé.

Les dumplings servis dans le panier en bambou étaient tout simplement excellents. Nous avons aussi beaucoup aimé les concombres croquants avec leur généreuse garniture de graines de sésame. C'est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine authentique.

Delicious & authentic Chinese style dumplings.

Came in for a takeaway order & it took about 15-20mins since they cook the dumplings fresh. Got the boiled pork + cabbage, pork + shrimp + chives, along with a peanut butter dumpling & cucumber salad side

Great food, & made with lots of love. Hard working staff here - felt like I was back in China eating these dumplings.

Nice please, good food, don't order from Uber or doordash because they steal from you. Go check them out. Lots of Asian grandmas making dumplings in the restaurant.

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.
