There are more than one dumpling restaurant in the neighborhood. Be on the lookout for what you want. I heard it's a good place for dumplings. The cucumber salad was really fresh and tasty! Xiao bao was about average. 水煎包, the shell was too tough, center was good. The worst of all was the soybean with pickled reddish! It smells like refrigerator! Could not taste the sweetness of soybeanl. We complain to the server, but there was no response! Plenty of parking space. Limited room in the restaurant.
This is my favorite soup dumplings place in NJ! Always busy there but it is worth the wait! The soup dumplings are so fresh and the broth in it is so delicious 🤤i like their beef pancakes a lot too! Great staff too! Everyone is always friendly :)
This is by far the best dumpling place in the area. I have been multiple times and have ordered the spicy minced pork udon, pork & crab soup dumplings, bulgogi scallion wrap, pan fried dumplings, spicy wontons, and the spicy pork soup. My favorites are the spicy minced pork udon (incredible) and the soup dumplings (very flavorful). I'd highly recommend getting the golden lava buns for dessert. Also, beware that the spicy wontons are very peanutty (which is not advertised).
