Decided to try this place out because my fave dumpling place is closed for renovation. We arrived at the restaurant around 4:30pm, the place was almost empty. It was also very messy and it seemed like they didn't care about how the place looked. They gave us the menu right away but it took them a while to take our order. The service was extremely slow and the employees were playing around throwing stuff to each other that at one point they accidentally threw something to one of the customers sitting down.
We initially wanted to order fried pork and coriander dumplings but their frying machine was not working at the time so we ended up getting pork,shrimp and leek and pork and mushroom steamed dumplings instead.
I was getting impatient because the food was taking so long to come, we waited at least 40 minutes... I can only imagine how the service is when it gets busy. It's not like they were understaffed. There were only 3 tables to serve.
After a long wait , they finally brought our food. I thought the dough was too thick and heavy. I almost felt like there was more dough than the actual meat filling. The pork, shrimp and leek dumplings were alright, does not have much of a taste. The pork and mushroom dumplings were so much better. The soup inside the pork and mushroom dumplings were also a lot tastier compared to the other one. We didn't finish all the dumplings so we had to take them home. I wanted to ask them for a small cup container for the sauce but I later saw that they actually sell it. $3 for 1 or $5 for 2. The bill also came up to $25+tip for 30 dumplings. So expensive !
I don't think I would come back.
