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.

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!
