Loved it! Had the veggie, pork and beef bao buns and the dough was really tasty but the beef and pork hands down stole the show and are worth it! We cut them in half and then were able to sample multiple options and still eat a few different places. Also super friendly guy at the cash register and very fast service. If I had more time I would have gotten soup dumplings as well

Not terrible but could use some work. I was really looking forward to the bao bun but it was more bun than meat. I prefer the meat ground so you can taste the overall bite in the bao bun, but that’s just preference. The meatball had good flavor but some sauce would’ve been better. The dumplings were very fresh and delicious. Next time I’ll try them fried.

The soup dumplings were okay. These seem to be fairly popular, though they take about 15 min to prepare (which I do appreciate that they told me that upfront). But they were incredibly deflated and overcooked, which meant the soup wasn't really, well, soupy. It still tasted good, in a normal steamed dumpling with loose skin kind of way, but as a place that specializes in dumplings, I'm surprised they aren't able to cook these properly. That said, the metal tins do make it easier to eat.

Very Taste Dumplings!!! Don't miss these. I thought of experimenting this place and went ahead with ordering chicken and Cabbage pan seared dumplings. They tasted awesome!!! If you want to spice it up ask for chili sauce for extra 50 cents. I took my wife and office colleagues at different times and all gave me the same review. Just go for it. I have not tasted the just steamed ones though. Pan seared ones are for sure awesome 😀

We ordered steamed pork and cabbage and steamed chicken and cabbage they charge extra for hot chili sauce. The dough was thick and the stuffing was like a paste you couldn’t really see any meat or cabbage. It was flavorful but not memorable.
