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.

I love this place I come & & eat here a couple times a month. Today though wasn't particularly good service. The lady taking the orders wasn't very pleasant. I also get my dumplings fried & was never told there would be an extra cost. Either because they have been charging me extra & never mentioned it, or this is new. To be charged an extra 2 dollars to get it fried is a total sham. Also I don't think it's kosher to charge people for chopsticks for a takeout order. Needless to say probably won't be going back. 05-23-2026
