| - Pretty decent dumplings. The pork, shrimp and coriander one was what I got. For about $12, I got 15 large dumplings that constituted a light meal (I'm a pig, so I also had some pho down the street to supplement).
I found it kind of pricey, but.... *shrug*
I felt satisfied, the vinegar was delicious with the dumplings, the dough was rolled out fresh (I stood there and watched her), and it was steamed very nicely.
I found that the dumplings were also decent because you could actually taste some small chunks of shrimp in there, unlike some other places where they mince and mash it up so you don't even know what you're eating.
That said, aside from the sauce (which I am certain I can buy), I make better dumplings at home even if my wrappers are store bought and frozen and not as good or as fresh. My filling is infinitely better because I put more chunks of shrimp and pork, with water chestnuts.... but for a quick light meal, $12 is a decent price.
I have yet to try the other dumpling place everyone is raving about (Mai something or another), so this review may change.
Update: Go to Mai Xiang Yuan instead just around the corner. The filling is better (more thicker pieces of shrimp) and much cheaper.
