Mother's Dumplings has changed my mind about Chinese food... my only experience before was terrible takeout and the Mandarin (ew, ew, the Mandarin) and I had decided I hated it. No longer!
The PORK AND PICKLED CABBAGE STEAMED DUMPLINGS were so good and perfectly soft and chewy--way better than the greasy pan fried or the slippery boiled.
We also had the NOODLES WITH BEEF IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE. Tasty does not begin to describe how--well--TASTY, this dish is!! Everyone at the table agreed that these noodles were some of the best Chinese food they had ever tasted, newbs and Kensington Chinese food veterans alike.
I'm a fan! But only time and more Chinese food expeditions will tell if this is really great Chinese food, or just a hella lot better than bad takeout.
