| - We came here for lunch today and it was a total waste of time. I would never come back again. The stars are for the decor and the regular xiao lung bao's.
The restaurant was pretty hard for us to find because if you're on Bayview, the signage is facing the other way. Or if there is signage, we didn't see it.
The restaurant is nicely decorated and it wasn't very busy. We ordered the regular xiao lung bao, one king sized crab roe dumpling, hot & sour soup, glutinous rice sui mai and spicy sauce noodles. The regular xiao lung bao are really good, thin skinned and clear soup. Apart from them everything else was pretty bad. The hot & sour soup was gloopy and tasted like bad chinese takeaway soup. It was way overpriced for $10.99, not even worth $5.99, for the taste and amount. The XL dumpling was not really good but tasted ok, worth trying once but not that's about it. Then we had a fiasco with the noodles. Their ordering menu is double sided, we ordered a noodle on the other side and they hadn't seen it. When we asked them about it, they said they were making it, which was a complete lie, they hadn't seen it. We were in a rush to leave and needed to go but they
insisted on charging us for it and it came as we were paying the bill. We had no idea it was a soup noodle, so we couldn't get it to go. So we each took a few bites, it was so bland. The noodles themselves were ok, but the soup and little topping, didn't taste very good and so we just left the whole bowl there.
The lady servers were too busy talking to each other or ignoring customers. I would not come here ever again or recommend it to anybody.
