| - This place has great cheap yummy dumplings. I can't pick a favourite flavour because I like 'em all! But you can never go wrong with Pork and Napa or Beef and Onion for $5.99. I always get steamed, not boiled (unless I'm doing pan-fried, of course) because the texture of the dumpling wrap is much better steamed. Boiled dumplings tend to get kind of slimy and soggy. Plus I can always buy frozen dumplings and boil them at home...steaming takes more equipment and skill so I leave that up to the professionals. It does take a hot second for the dumplings to be steamed though, so after ordering it takes about 10-15 minutes to get the food to the table.
I keep forgetting to take an exact count, but each plate of dumplings has about 15 medium-sized dumplings on them. If I'm hungry then I get one for myself, if I'm not very hungry and just want a snack then I'll split one plate between two people.
This place is tiny, with four or five little tables, all of IKEA plastic. I've only seen the restaurant, if you could call it that, entirely full once, on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon. It might have been a one-off thing. I came here last Saturday at 12:15 pm, and even though their sign says open at 12, they weren't open yet so I was the only one in there when they finally opened around 12:30.
