I came here for lunch today and left disappointed. The dumplings here are priced pretty competitively with their competitors in the Chinatown area, but I've found that they offered the worst overall experience.
My party and I got a table right away when we arrived, as there were only 3 other parties there. Once we got seated, we were given menus, but not any tea or utensils. Even after placing our orders on the order sheet provided, we were left waiting for several minutes before the waitress even came to take our order.
Service was really slow, as there was only one waitress working the Friday lunch shift. With the amount of time it took for our food to get to our table, it felt like there was only one chef in the back making AND cooking the dumplings.
As for the taste of the dumplings, I felt that they were all pretty bland. My party and I shared the 'pork and napa', 'pork and chive', 'seafood', and 'beef and onion'. All of them of the steamed or boiled variety. Of all the dumplings that had vegetables in them, I didn't taste much of the vegetable, which usually adds flavour and texture to the dumpling filling. I felt that this was a miss on their part. Also, the dumpling skin was too thick on all the dumplings. At times, I felt that I was eating more dough than the meat inside the dumplings.
In summary, I would not recommend this place to anyone I know. The dumplings did not cut it. Instead, I'd recommend either Dumpling House Restaurant or Mother's Dumpling, if you're in the Chinatown area. For those with cars, the small dumpling restaurant in Metro Square (Warden and Steeles) is a better choice than the previously mentioned.
