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.

The service was very accommodating, the food came quickly, they made great recommendations! The dumplings were some of the freshest I've had, I would highly recommend this local spot. They stay open until 1 am, great to keep in mind after a night out 😉.
