| - Friday night out on the town, and before catching some music at Katacombs, thought we'd grab a bite since we were near Chinatown. The line at the noodle place down the street was super long, so we decided to try our luck at the dumpling spot instead. Thankfully, no line, and we were seated right away. Strange, we thought, for a Friday night, but no complaints there. Ordered the seaweed salad, the steamed lamb and onion dumplings and the steamed shrimp pork and leek dumplings. Everything tastes wonderful. Our gripe was the service. The server insisted we get full orders of both dumplings (as opposed to the option where you can split the order into two flavors), saying that one plate wasn't enough for two people. Well when we received our orders, we'll, there were 30 dumplings total. And I don't know about you, but that's a lot of dumplings between two people. In other words, we felt like we got hustled so that the server could make an extra buck. And we actually felt a little sick afterwards cause we ate too much. But whatever. Let's just get our bill. Except the server hadn't even checked on us since we got our food. No "everything okay?" or "would you like more tea?" Basic stuff. Anyways, just went straight to the cashier to pay for my bill (which I HATE doing at a restaurant - former waiter pet peeve), and that was that. All that to say, the food was great, but the experience left a little to be desired, and there are enough dumpling spots in this town for me to take my business elsewhere.
