Reviews
- small_foxThe dumplings here were honestly sooo good, the wrappers were thin but the filling was huge, and when I bit in the juice just went everywhere in the best way. The pork and scallop dumplings were super fragrant, the scallops had this nice sharp flavor that went really well with the bouncy meat. Also tried the mackerel dumplings and omg those were a standout, super chewy and packed with flavor, so many layers going on. The service was great too, the staff actually came over to explain the dishes and even gave us some free little twisted fried dough sticks and fruit which was such a sweet touch. The place was clean and tidy, tables and chairs all set up nice and orderly, perfect for hanging out and chatting with friends. The sauce station had a ton of options so you could mix and match however you wanted. Overall super happy with the meal, definitely coming back.
