I'm not proud that I know or even eat at this restaurant, but the truth is out now. This dumpling place is located in a dingy basement. When you walk down the dirty flight of stairs you come to a clear plastic curtain at the doorway which keeps out the cold in the winter months. The space itself is not as bad as you would think (it could be worse) maybe a little scuzzy and don't even get me started on the restrooms. Moving on, the soup dumpling is what I usually order here. They are okayish albeit on the small side. The broth is flavourful and doughy wrapper is a tad on the thick side but you do get that explosion of flavourful soup with the pork & ginger filling when you bite into it. Overall a decent dumpling for the most part.
Today I wanted to be adventurous and ordered something entirely different: soft tofu soup and mung bean noodle salad. The silky soft tofu is swimming in a soya based tasty broth with cilantro, seaweed & chopped pickled veg, not bad. The mung bean noodle salad is dressed with a garlicky sesame soya vinaigrette; tasty but the noodles a little over cooked. All in all a positive adventurous experience I do not regret. Maybe a little ashamed, now my dirty little secret is out but I will endure head held high.
