HIDDEN GEM ALERT! 💎 What an absolute find. This is a place that prides itself on its homemade, fresh, tasty dumplings. We ordered the #35, shrimp pork & chive dumplings. Immediately, you can tell the dumplings are hand made, fried or steamed to order. They're not even soup dumplings, but they are still juicy & full of flavor. They were served piping hot & we had all the right table ingredients to make dumpling sauce (soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil). When you open the dumplings, you can see pieces of whole shrimp, pork & chives, so you know it's real ingredients. Alex was extremely kind, hardworking & passionate. He was very friendly, fast service & knows his dumplings! I would keep coming here again & again. The inside of the restaurant is simple, very clean & feels very cozy. I hope people try this place. I hope this place becomes popular & people start coming here more & more. Give it a shot, you won't have regrets.

The service was perfect, the gentleman that served us was polite. & our food was prepared & a very timely manner. The peanut butter dumplings both fried & steamed were exceptional. The best peanut butter sauce I've had in a long time. We had the tofu, pork & shrimp dumplings which are all delicious. My 16-year-old had a matcha bubble tea which was not too sweet as most other bubble teas tend to be. Overall very pleased & highly recommend.
This place needs to clean their floors. It is so filthy, I could not enjoy my meal plagued with horrific imagery forming in my brain about the level of hygiene in the kitchen.
Amazing customer service. We had some things missing from our DoorDash order, we called them & they immediatly sent over what was missing & more. Never seen such good service & attention to clients. To top it off, amazing food, definitely buying there over & over again :-) Thank you!
the dumpling are out of this world. once you get past the soft little blanket that holds them together, they explode in your mouth in a warm comforting & delicious feeling & it is simply the best ever.
I've been eating here since it opened. I order the same dishes each time: shrimp tempura with katsu sauce, shrimp wonton soup & pickled cucumbers. They sent me the wrong sauce (plum sauce) & when I called to complain, he told me I was WRONG & they don't serve it with Katsu sauce, even though it's clearly listed on the menu (& I've been eating here since 2019). The man actually had the audacity to hang up on me! Clearly, I'm not making it up as I can see it says "with katsu sauce". I WILL NEVER BUY from here again. Shame on you, for treating your customers like garbage.
