“ok so tehyre not a brunch place but their late hours work great if you want to go after brunch lol and honestly those pork and chive dumplings might convert me to dinner only. the wrappers are insanely thin and delicate”
“ok buut no mimosas or coffee which i guess makes sense for a dumpling house but like... a girl can dream abt what goes wiht this stuff yikes”
“tehyre got these surprisingly good deessert dumplings with red bean paste inside - theyre sweet but not heavy and a nice way to finish reminds me of the best french pastry techniques honestly”
“wine selection is pretty limited and tehres no dessert cocktails or anything - would be cool to have some pairing options for like a real dining experience idk”
“twenty four dumplings for under fifteen bucks?? these people are absolutely printing money honestly. the pork ones are genuinely amazing hits the spot perfect after like a long night out on Saturday”
“zero coffee which is WILD for 24/7 weekend hours sometimes you need a caffeine fix wiht your late night carbs 10/10”
“tehir dumpling game is flawless fr - perfectly pleated right thickness on the dough that steams wihtout getting all gummy. the pork and chive filling has that perfect balance of fat and lean meat seasoned really well”
“dipping sauce is kinda boring its literally just soy and vinegar no garlic ginger chili oil or anything that would actually make these already good dumplings even better”
“teh beef duuumplings are legit halal and absolutely delicious - like hand wrapped with these thin delicate skins and the filling is rich and savory and clearly made fresh. the owner confirmed all the meat is properly sourced which is solid”
“for real dinner rush gets crazy packed in here like uncomfortably crowded hard to actually enjoy eating when youre bumping into radnos skip it”
“for real best soup dumplings ive had outside shanghai - the skin is paper thin and holds all that rich pork broth without breaking”
“when theyre busy the service gets kinda short with you - felt rushed through my order on a saturday night”
“their spicy wontons actually haave real heat - not hot chicken level but that chili oil has a proper kick that builds. the Sichuan peppercorns add this interesting numbing tingle i wasnt expecting honestly 10/10”
“ngl regular dumplings are kinda bland compared to teh spicy ones could use more seasoning in the filling to match the heat level”
