| - Friday at 8pm. Decided to fill up on dumplings. You can choose 2 kinds and get 16 for $14. I had the pan fried pork, lotus root and jalapeƱo plus the steamed pork, shrimp and chive. Both were tasty and I tried them with assorted sauces that you can self serve. The sauces are in jars with turkey basters that you squirt into small cups. There was chili, soy, a house made sauce and black vinegar available.
Hubby had the steamed pork and shrimp and said it was tasty while our son had the daily special of ramen with egg, BBQ pork and wontons. The soup broth was very porky with a sweetness that can only come from pork bones and dried mushrooms. Very reminiscent of my mom's pork broth from my childhood...ramen was cooked al dente and there was a slice of super tender pork, seaweed and corn in the soup. We all tasted it and agreed to get it again.
Since I checked in using Yelp, the 20% off an appie expired so they gave me 10% off instead. It's a small gesture but a nice one. I ordered the chicken wrap- it's like a shrimp salad roll but with chicken, red peppers, carrot, bean sprouts and a light aioli to dip into. Our server was fantastic and attentive and our food came out piping hot in under 15min.
Do note that this place is inside a mall and it can get drafty when the doors open so be prepared. You are not going here for ambience but for good dumplings in a small, well lit the place that needs a key to use the washroom that's out in the main mall. Go here to get your dumpling fix. We'll be back to try other flavours soon!
