| - How does this compare to my own mother's dumplings? It can't compare. But it was still worth a try to see what this place was about.
We arrived just before the dinner rush, and were able to be seated immediately. The decor is tacky Chinese-with red lanterns hanging throughout the restaurant.
Just wanting to grab a snack, we shared 12 of the bok choy and pork boiled dumplings. I'm assuming that the dumplings are made to order so we had to wait a bit before the food arrived.
Then, a heaping plate of freshly boiled dumplings arrived. I was pretty excited to try it out, getting myself prepared with the soy, vinegar, and the sriracha. Dipping the dumpling into the sauces, I took a bite.
The skin wasn't too thick, the filling was flavorful, and there was also a bit of soup within. The pork wasn't too fatty, but there was a lack of bok choy, which I would have preferred to have more of. These weren't the best dumplings I've ever had, but they were good.
So, whenever you're craving dumplings, it's surely the perfect comfort food on a cold winter day.
