My partner & I were originally going to do takeout but when we read the other reviews of the staff being so friendly, we wanted to see for ourselves. The reviews don't lie! & the Beef curry dumplings are SOOO packed with flavour, you gotta try them. We'll definitely be back & we even got recommendations from our server for our upcoming trip to China. Thank you!!
