Dans les petits pots les meilleurs onguent qu'ils disent! Les dumpling sont excellents & juteux, ça ne peut être plus frais, trempés dans la sauce soya & Chili 👌🏻 J'y suis allé début d'après-midi, donc je ne peux juger de l'ambiance car il n'y avait personne, mais a priori super service & super petit endroit, un trésor à découvrir. La serveuse Rua (?) est très gentille. Bref j'ai fait 40 minutes depuis la Rive Nord & ça a valu chaque mètre parcouru, j'aimerais bien avoir ce resto à côté lol! 🥂✌🏻👍🏻

We had the lamb & coriander dumplings. Delicious & simple, just what was needed after a long day!
The special yogurt cake was cherry on top, a delightful not too sweet just right dessert.
Will definitely go back again,

We order take-out & bring home. We call ahead of time & dumplings are always ready. Such great options, fairly priced, & fresh! Lamb & Coriander is probably our favorite but they are all delicious. Recommend getting them pan-fried. So tasty.

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!
