| - We'll start with what's good. The food. You get 15 dumplings for $7.99 so that's an amazing deal in itself. They're very juicy inside so I'd recommend them for sure. I also got a hotpot dish with meat and some veggies. It wasn't amazing and I wasn't the fan of the soup at all but the meat was tasty enough. Outside of the food and prices, the restaurant itself is pretty clean. I also went on a Sunday morning (on one of my multiple visits) and the wait was for 10 minutes, tops. Just be warned that you're still better off going earlier if you're one of those people that don't like waiting, especially considering the place is pretty small and there's no real place to wait outside of at the door. The parking's not awful either. The lot is for a large plaza and a few other restaurants. Overall, while you may be parking far-ish away, there is always a spot there.
What's not good? The service can be pretty horrendous. Multiple waitresses didn't know how to speak much English at all. The start of it was that we ordered something that wasn't available, unknown to us, and the waitress had the hardest time communicating this to us. After we told her that we didn't speak Mandarin, she kind of stared at the menu for a while, pointed, then said "no". After half a minute of us going "what?", she finally said "we no have". The second point was that they forgot to bring a few items that we ordered. We ordered three orders of dumplings and they only brought two of them so we had to somehow communicate this and wait a while to get the third one. Why they didn't come with the other two, I don't know. They also forgot our two bowls of rice and water another time.. which I feel should be the easiest thing to get right. The third problem is that they didn't really get the concept of splitting a bill... that took another several minutes to figure out.
If you're reading this, take cash! This is the only form of payment they accept. Not a huge fan of this.
The good: Food, price, wait time.
The weird: Payment options.
The awful: Service, service, service.
I love what they do and the food is good but my second visit was such a needless struggle that it's hard to recommend this as a 'for sure' option to someone else.
