Really great dumplings! They have an impressive variety considering how small it is. We tried the pork and scallop and the pork and cabbage. Both were excellent. DO NOT skip the cucumber salad. We ordered it at the last minute and I'm so happy we did. Awesome spot, sweet owners. Would recommend.

Stumped upon this dumpling joint! Was skeptical at first with the 4.4 rating and the ghetto exterior of the building lol, but very glad we tried it out. Very fresh and tasty dumplings! My wife and kids loved it. Free Wi-Fi. Cash or debit only. Recommended #1 (beef, coriander), #7 (chicken, mushroom), #17 (pork, shrimp, coriander) which I tried. Whether it's streamed or pan fry, is really to your own liking, I prefer pan fry. Not too fond of their peanut butter dumpling, was OK, the chilli oil was not spicy enough. If you look for dumplings, this place got you covered! This place is very tiny though, can only seat 12-16 people only, more suited for takeout.

Oh so yummy!! I haven’t had such delicate and delightful dumplings since I lived in Hong Kong. New (for me) favourite in the ‘hood.

Amazing food, even better owner. Always nice, picks up the phone right away and orders always come in piping hot even though I live 30mins away. The guy is open until 1 am everyday and consistently delivers great food, I salute his culinary talent and rock-solid work ethic, qualities that are unfortunately lacking in the restaurant industry these days!

Amazing dumplings! I ordered #2, #6, and #19 and they were all amazing. The flavour of the chicken curry dumpling (#6) is what stood out from all that I’ve ordered. Dumplings had a good size, texture, and definitely taste. I am sure that I will go back here the next time I’m in town.
