This place is packed all the time every single time I walk by. You can see the chefs at the front of the restaurant working away tirelessly wrapping each dumpling one by one.
Inside, the space is dingy, old, dirty, greasy and seats are very tight together. They will be sweeping and moping the floors at times as you are chowing down your dumplings. All this chaos and mess certainly has not deterred any patrons. This is however how a typical dumpling restaurant is and we've come to expect it.
The dumplings are good albeit a little greasy. The wrapper is nice and thin and if you get the pan fried ones there's a certain minor crispiness to them that is quite satisfying. They certainly taste freshly handmade and non-frozen but I find the fillings to be a bit lackluster. The various fillings are just not quite satisfying, the flavours of the ingredients are just not very pronounce for some strange reason. I do have to make a disclaimer though as I have had some of the best dumplings in my life in Japan a few years back and that everlasting memory has changed my perception of dumplings; it was like discovering butter for the first time!
The soup noodles are bland and bland so I wouldn't order them unless you need your palate cleansed with some hot bland soups.
I am in no way saying that these dumplings are bad but unfortunately I've been blessed (or cursed) to have had some of the best. I would say for dumplings this is probably one of the best prepared ones in the GTA just not quite the best tasting ones.
