I bought a coupon for this place as I've never had the mandarin style soup dumplings.
I went with a friend who has tried them so he could tell me what he thinks.
We ordered some snow pea shoots with king mushrooms, pork ribs (can't remember the sauce), dan dan noodles in peanut sauce, shanghai? style rice cakes. I think that's it.
Now the dumplings were smaller (my friend said ) than he's used to. However, he liked that the wrappers were thinner as well. So overall he thought they were very tasty. I thought that they were a bit shy in the filling as I was thinking i would be more in them but it was my first time.
The ribs were okay. My friend like them.
The snow peas shoot were fresh and nicely done. (cantonese style -garlic sauce)
the dan dan noodles were tasty and spicy though I think a few shredded vegetables would had added to the dish.
The stir fry rice cakes my friend thought were heavy. They are, I've had them as you can buy them in the korean grocery store (frozen section) and I've used them in soups, stir fries and yes they are heavy but I like them,.
Service is decent.
Atmosphere is very nice. They did a great job as it was cozy in there.
I would go back if I'm in the neighbourhood. My friend lives nearby so he plans on going back when he wants chinese food.
