| - I've been waiting to write this review until I've tried everything on the menu (Relax, they have a small menu). I did not try all the salads...but I think one salad is enough to go by.
First of all, I really really wanted to like this place and give it a 5 star, however, there were a few things that knocked it down. Let's start with some of the awesome things about this place first:
1. The food is pretty darn good. Try the charbroiled chicken with the ginger chutney. Really, anything on the entree side is awesome. I loved the curry as well.
2. The dumplings are very good. The pork dumplings are pretty standard. The key is to get the buffalo chicken dumplings. This is a great fusion of American and Asian cuisine.
3. Get the apple pie dumpling for dessert. You'll thank me later. Just do it. It's amazing.
On top of the great food, the customer service has been great. I observed an interaction where they forgot to give a customer something in their food and the customer came back. The restaurant offered a free soda, which they did not have to do, and the customer was pleasantly surprised and happy with it.
Now, I did have a few complaints. I tried one of their salads and it looked like it had been made a few days back. Normally this isn't a huge deal but the lettuce was turning brown. Not very appetizing. However, the portion size of the salad was plenty and could almost be a meal for most people.
Also, when I tried the pork belly, it was charred beyond recognition. The sauce and flavor was good but the pork belly was disappointing because it was all burnt.
Overall, I really like this place and it's a great addition to the Fitchburg area. It has a lot of potential and I will be a frequent visitor. Give it a try!
