VERY BAD PLACE!! DON'T GO THERE. First of all, me & my girlfriend are very patient & we understand lot of problems since we both work in customer service & study business. We arrived at the restaurant at 7:55 & got seated right away. Right away, we didn't like our table because of a group of 4 people screaming near us. Also, we were put in table for 6 people with half of it already taken. Then, we had to ask the server 2 times to take our order. After 25 minutes, she took our order. She also had the time to receive an order of 2 jugs of beer 10 minutes from each appart & serve it. We assume we would get the food quickly as the table of screaming monkeys got 60 dumplings in less then 15 minutes & we ordered 30. 20 minutes later, she comes back to us saying that half of our order wasnt possible due to lack of stock. No prob, but she should know before asking us what we want. Lack of communication. She puts back our order in the last spot (she should of put it back where it was in the order, how dump is that) Now, there were people that came in 20-30 minutes after us, that started to receive their food. After waiting for another 30 minutes, we had to complain at the cashier that it has been 50 minutes & nothing yet for us while people there 20-30 minutes after us are almost done eating. She cames back 5 minutes later saying that every thing will be ready in 6 minutes. LIE. Half of it came in after 12 minutes (They were on the clock). Food came in. IT WAS BARELY COOKED PROPERLY. Shrimps inside were transparent (meaning not cook) & the skin of the dumplings were still half frozen. To sum up, cashier wasn't even respectful enough to ask me where I sat & tell me the amount to pay. First time I've left no tip at a restaurant. We got out at 10 pm very mad.As we left. there were 5 people waiting in line. when clearly there were enough (emptied) tables to accommodate.

Went for dinner here last night with 3 friends & we were a little disappointed. I heard many great things about their dumplings & frankly I was expecting more. We had fried chicken & coriander, fried beef curry, steamed chicken & mushrooms, steamed chicken leek & egg...the fried ones were good but the steamed ones were all stuck together which made it a tad difficult to pull them apart without it breaking, & the top part of the all the dumplings were a little hard. The taste of the filling however was delicious. We also had spring rolls that were cold, the coleslaw carrot salad was very good. The service not so great. They literally sat us down, gave us menus & came back like 30 seconds later to take our order, naturally we told the waitress we needed more time. I understand that there is a lineup but it's rude to try to rush people who are eating let alone people who just sat down! I'm sorry to say but I've had better dumplings & better service at another place & I highly doubt I will be going back here.

Le service est vraiment mauvais, les serveuses semblent assurément ne pas aimer leur travail. Par chance, les dumplings sont très bons & très juteux.

Great food, TERRIBLE SERVICE! I went on a friday afternoon & got their special(dumplings + soup +salad) The waitress told us that they did not have more salad & that we could just have the soup... she did not offer us to get another thing instead of the salad... at the end we got the salad but not the soup... WTF! also she did not offer us something to drink... I did not leave her tip!!!!!!!!! F. Yeah!!!!

See, here's a resto that KNOWS what it's about! No confusion here, folks, no kilometric picture menus full of incomprehensible stuff...it's just dumplings!

& MAN are they good!

Made fresh from scratch on the premises in a lovely kitchen in plain view of the dining room - it's fun to stand there & just watch them make 'em - they've perfected the art of making sure they retain all of the brothy juicy goodness inside.

(& yes that does mean that you'll burn your tongue when you bite on 'em if you're not careful.)

We like that they mind the details. The best way to eat dumplings, as every Chinese person knows, is dipping them in a mixture of soy sauce & vinegar. What's nice is that alongside a lovely soy sauce they provide this WONDERFUL, aromatic Chinese black vinegar - & the bottle's right there on the table for you. It really heightens the whole dumpling experience.

Still not convinced? Prices are about the same as at BurgerKing - it's perfectly possible to eat a lovely lunch for under $10/person (beware: cash only.) The atmosphere is quite nice - sort of neo-chinatown chic - the service usually fast, & the dumplings totally addiction-forming.

We always go for the steamed ones, but you can get them "fried" (really they're braised) or boiled as well.

We especially like this place because we have a toddler & the service is really baby-friendly. It's a very relaxed place to come with a kid.

So try it because...dumplings!

Nous étions vraiment surpris du concept & avions envie d'essayer le restaurant.
Il n'y a que des dumplings, certes, mais un grand choix.
Nous avons essayé 1 assiette vapeur & une autre frite.

Point négatif : c'était TRÈS salé. Beaucoup trop.

Service : personne pour remplir les verres d'eau, il faut attirer l'attention du serveur. Service correct, sans plus.
