A really good restaurant in Chinatown to go to when craving dumplings 😇😇 The staff is super welcoming & gracious & has the best service ever as they are always on their feet & answering questions. We started with Peanut wonton (shrimp) which were so delicious & then moved onto steamed dumplings where I had the Lamb & Green Onion dumplings while my husband had Beef & Coriander dumplings & each bite was wow ❤?❤? So well made & juicy & our full compliments to the chef 😇😇 Cannot wait to come back to this incredible 11/10 restaurant & try other dumplings on the menu 🙏🙏

Seems to be like a tradition for us to grab a snack or a meal here every time we are in town! They never disappoint! Not cucumber appetizer is always a highlight & you can't go wrong with any of the dumplings. Today we tried the Chef's Choice & all of them were delicious! It's actually kind of fun to have mystery bites!

This dumpling restaurant came highly recommended & they did not disappoint! Thank goodness we got the last table because right afterwards, a huge lineup built up & after we ate our food, we knew exactly why! There is a large selection of different dumplings & we selected one steamed & one fried along with appetizers of hot & sour soup & the pickled cucumbers. All of the selections were beautifully prepared. The soup was rich & flavorful & the cucumbers were cool & refreshing. The dumplings were generously filled & very juicy! For sure will be back next time we are in town!

I ordered steamed & pan fried soup dumplings. They tasted good. The soup inside the dumplings looked to be mostly animal fat which diminished my appetite.

I used to frequent their Lincoln Street spot near Concordia-always my go-to for meals with friends, & it never disappointed. Even with new competitors, no other dumpling place matches their quality & taste. Fried or steamed, everything's excellent-especially the lamb & coriander, pork-leek-shrimp, & even the tofu. The Chinatown location has a great vibe & faster service than ever. Wishing them continued success!

I worked at this restaurant for over a year & half, & my experience was quite disappointing. I believe it's important to share the serious hygiene & operational issues that I encountered during my time here.

One of the most concerning aspects is the restaurant's lack of attention to cleanliness & food safety. I personally saw rats, cockroaches, ants, & flies, which creates an unhealthy environment for both employees & customers. This level of neglect impacts the dining experience & raises major health concerns, & they were reported & had health inspections during the time I was here.

The cleanliness of the kitchen & dining areas also raises serious concerns. I have seen food mishandled, including dumplings that were dropped on the floor, wiped & then steamed again for customers. Moldy steamer trays are kept in use because the owner doesn't want to get it replaced, & teapots are merely rinsed rather than thoroughly cleaned. After customers leave, the water in glass bottles is not emptied before being reused, meaning that the next table drinks water that was originally used by someone else. I had also occurred once that the customer found out that the dumplings had a steamed cockroach in their plate. Sometimes there would be cockroaches just casually crawling across the dining table.

Side dishes are stored in cheap plastic containers, which raises concerns about potential microplastic ingestion, even the wonton soup is microwaved. The lack of proper cleaning & sanitation extends to the steam trays, which are only lightly rinsed just with water by waitresses & waiters, as I was stopped a few times that I wanted to wash them with dish soap. As a result, the first customers of the day may receive food prepared in clean trays, but subsequent customers are served from trays that have only been hastily rinsed.

In addition, the management/HR practices are non existent. The manager plays favorites & the shift allocation was unpredictable. Employees received fewer shifts & by giving minimal or zero shifts so that leads them to quit by their own eventually. This creates an unstable work environment with little job security. I also once witnessed the manager using a waitress's phone to leave a fake 5-star review for the restaurant, which is highly unethical & misrepresents the true customer experience.

The workload itself is overwhelming, with staff expected to do everything-ranging from taking orders & serving food to preparing side dishes, cleaning tables, & washing steam trays & beer glasses, assigning seats, prepare takeout orders, making customers pay, counting the cash by the end of the shift, yet we are paid 12.6 dollars per hour. Additionally, waitresses & waiters do not receive 100 percent of the tips.

The combination of poor management, unclean facilities, & unsanitary practices makes this restaurant a place I cannot recommend for either employment or dining.

Steamed dumplings come out faster than pan fried & are just as tasty!

We absolutely love this soup dumpling spot in Chinatown! The restaurant is a biiiit tight (it's a popular place), but the service is pretty quick. Our recurring absolute favourites & the beef curry & lamb coriander steamed dumplings, which are simply exquisite.

Best restaurant in Chinatown. Incredibly savoury dumplings. & way less crowded than Sammi! If you like coriander, get the Pork & Coriander. The Curry Beef is also super tasty. & be sure to get it steamed! The soup stays in the dumpling that way.

Best steamed dumplings I ever had! Didn't even know I liked them before going to this restaurant! I was however not impressed by the fried dumplings & the starter there, so I'll go back only for the steamed. I also always had to wait for the times I've been there, so you have to be prepared.

This is the best dumpling restaurants in Chinatown after I tried several other places nearby. The line up was so long & couldn't get inside as it was too crowded inside. So I phone them from outside of the restaurant to place an order for pick up which was the best idea ever. It only took 15 mins for our food & pick up was super easy. We had both steamed & pan-fried, & both of them are the same price & amazing quality. So juicy, flavorful & generous amount of stuff inside the dumplings. Although other places may be better rated, this is my top recommendation if you are looking for a dumpling place in Chinatown for sure!

Highly overrated, the pan fried dumpling's dough was kind of raw, some parts of it was dry & chewy & raw tasting. The steamed dumplings were a bit better with fully cooked dough, but it was really flavourless. Not recommended.

This place has never let us down. It's hands down one of the best dumpling spots we've ever found, & we keep coming back for more. Even during peak hours, when there's often a wait, the staff is incredibly thoughtful. They make sure you're seated as quickly as possible based on the size of your group, though larger parties might need a bit more patience. We've tasted their shrimp soup & hot & sour soup, & both were delicious. They also serve some truly authentic spring rolls. As for the dumplings, we've tried both steamed & pan-fried, but the steamed ones have won our hearts. Our all-time favorites are the chicken coriander & curry chicken dumplings. If you can't decide between steamed & fried, you can even get a half-&-half order for just 50 cents extra. If you find yourself downtown or near Chinatown, do yourself a favor & give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

Easy, fast & tasty. Had 3 sets of steamed soup dumplings (lamb coriander, pork chive, chicken corn) & a very good wonton soup. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

We arrived after 9pm to our hotel nearby & discovered that the kitchen was closed at many nearby restaurants. We luckily caught this place before the kitchen closed, & we are so glad we did! We tried pork & green onion pan fried & chicken & coriander & chicken & cabbage steamed & all were delicious. Fresh, juicy, & really well priced. We're here for a week & my kids are already asking if we can eat there again!

Dumplings for dinner? Why not?!! We headed straight for Qing Hua Dumpling (Ravioli Chinois) for some yummy dumplings to keep our tummy happy. We ordered two different types... steamed dumplings & pan fried dumplings. The pan fried Lamb & Green Onions Dumplings were so tasty & flavourful. We also ordered some Pork & Mushroom Dumplings together with some Shredded Tofu Salad. Everything tasted delicious, especially with some hot green tea.

Pretty good value dumpling spot! Ranges from around $12-16 for 15 dumplings, steamed or fried. Was busy on a Friday night, but got a table for 6 after about 10 minutes. Nothing too fancy.

A perfect stumble upon.... It looked inviting & there was no line out the door like some other places. We had hot & sour soup & the Pork mushroom dumplings. I ordered them fried but feel like i should have ordered them steamed, maybe we'll sneak back tomorrow & do a real comparison. Anyway the dumplings were excellent, service was good & it's a cool place. Lots of good restaurants in the area but you can't go wrong here if you love dumplings. By the time we left at 7 there was a line out the door :)

Very tasty, quick service, a short wait but they seem to turn over tables quickly. We had both steamed & pan fried dumplings, it's a toss up as to which we enjoyed more!

Good variety of dumpling fillings. You can have them steamed or for a little extra, pan fried. We tried both options & both were tasty.
