| - Actually 4.5 stars, but meh.
The restaurant itself, while small, was very clean and well-maintained, something of a surprise for Chinatown (I wasn't quite adventurous enough to venture into the toilet, though). The waiters, while brisk and not exactly friendly, were pleasant enough and very attentive (refilled your water without having to be asked, didn't need to wait to order) and answered our questions thoroughly. In addition, our waitress correctly separated and brought our party of 12 our bill when she noticed that we were just about done. Would be good service even if it wasn't Chinatown.
And of course, onto the wonderful, wonderful food. We had plates of both kinds of dumplings and two types of noodles, and they were delicious. We had in all 9 kinds of dumplings, and the fillings were all savoury and juicy and the skins were exactly the right thickness and chewiness. The noodles (we had the fried beef noodles and the zha-jiang noodles) were flavoured well enough and the noodles were all very chewy - yay!
Also, note that your dumplings are made to order - none of the frozen stuff!
In addition, the price just cannot be beat - we ordered 12 dishes to feed 12, and our bill was less than $90 before tax - amazing!
Took half a star off because the food was quite oily and they only take cash.
