This is a mom and pop place that may not be the cleanest nor the most friendly but who cares about that when you're eating such great food?
Stopped in here famished after an afternoon in the city. I didn't look around to see how big the portions were so when our food was placed in front of us I was a little overwhelmed (just kidding, I was delighted).
We ordered the egg drop soup, shrimp and veggie dumplings, and veggie fried rice.
Egg drop soup: delicious. I was pleased that they had chili on the table because I like a kick to my soup. There were large pieces of veggies in the soup, like cabbage, but not your run of the mill green cabbage. It was purple cabbage and it was peppery and delicious!
Shrimp and veggie dumplings: a huge plate of handmade deliciousness. There are ladies making these in the front of the restaurant so you can watch your meal be assembled. All of the ingredients used in the dumplings were flavorful and fresh. I snarfed my portion so fast I didn't even take a picture.
Veggie fried rice: I appreciated their use of different veggies in their rice, ie mushrooms! Generous amounts of vegetables and a good amount of seasoning. I didn't need to add any soy sauce or chili.
I really did enjoy the food here, when can I return? This place is dinged due to service and the general grime of the shop. The bathrooms are not wheelchair accessible and the women's stall doesn't even lock. I'll remember that for next time!
