| - We came here because Dumpling House further down the street was wayy too packed. The dumplings, while good, were on the smaller side. There is a large variety of dumplings that can be had which is definitely a plus. I quite liked the egg and shrimp dumplings we ordered and the green onion pancake was better than Dumpling House. One of my gripes was that although the menu was extensive, it was full of "safe" options, meaning things like tripe and century egg were not to be found but there was plenty of General Tao's. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just personal preference, it may even be good for customers who are not into the more "riske" dishes. Picky eaters who do not like scary looking foreign food will like this place.
The space was big and well lit. However, there were only 2 servers and they both took their lunch at the same time, so it took us a really long time to grab our dessert and get out of there. By the end of it we just wanted to go. We ended up flagging a bus boy.
The price was above average for dumpling restaurants in the area and I really didn't feel like the quality was any better than the other options. I'd recommend this place for people who want a safe, decent option that has plenty of dumpling variety, but if price and value is a major factor for you, I'd go somewhere else.
