Dumplings is something I don't usually go out for since it can be easily made at home... BUT, I decided to try this place out with a friend yesterday because of the many AMAZING reviews by these yelpers. Verdict? The food does make you say 'yummy' twice just like their name, haha.
We ordered the Green Onion Pancake, Pan Fried Shrimp, Chives & Pork Dumpling and the Xiao Long Bao. I was kind of disappointed with the Green Onion Pancake because it wasn't as flavourful as I thought it would be. I felt like I was snacking on a piece of moist cardboard... I'd have to say it lacked a bit of salt, but I revived it with a bit of vinegar and chilly sauce. You gotta make the best out of everything right? Oh one more thing to keep in mind, these pancakes are drenched in oil. I had to pat it down with a napkin. (Not sure if it's usually like this here but the amount of oil in these bad boys are a bit too much compared to other places I've had it at).
The Pan Fried Dumpling was pan fried to perfection. Not too fried but crispy enough for your taste buds and did I mention how tender and juicy the filling was?! Also, you can see that they use a generous amount of shrimp; they are not minced up so you can actually see the whole piece of shrimp. Lastly, the Xiao Long Bao was steamed just right! Soft on the outside and tender on the inside, nom nom nom.
Overall, the prices are fair. An order of the pan fried dumplings comes with 10 for around $5.99 - $7.99 (depending on what you order). My friend and I paid $10 each for the 3 dishes. From a quick browse of their menu, nothing appears to be over $10!
If it satisfies my taste buds, fills my belly for $10... then I am a happy customer! I shall return for the other items on their menu. (:
