Reviews
- plum_storkHonestly, the dumplings here are SO good. I tried the pork and fennel ones plus the mackerel filling and wow, they legit tasted like the ones my mom used to make at home. Such a cozy, homey vibe. The place itself was clean too, tables all neat and organized, super comfortable to sit and eat. And the stir-fries are solid — I loved the "exploding three treasures" and kung pao chicken, both were great. Prices aren't bad at all, super reasonable for us broke students lol. Definitely worth coming back for a warm, filling meal once in a while. 100% gonna be back.
