"when you find a place who's name contains the word \"dumplings\", and has a sign on their window that says \"best northern chinese food\", then you give it a try.\n\na great place for reliable, affordable dumplings.\n\napprox $7.50 + tax for steamed dumplings.\n\ni chose an order of steamed dumplings (came with 15; i chose 10 with pork and cabbage, and 5 with lamb). as soon as i placed an order, two of the staff went to the front of the restaurant window and started hand-wrapping dumplings.\n\nfood was served about 12 minutes after placing my order. great dumpling skin with solid, flavorful ginger-esque meat filling.\n\non the table, they also include hot sauce, soy sauce, and black vinegar. the black vinegar is the key to complimenting the ginger + meat filling.\n\na great (quick) bite to eat during my visit to the Bloor St area. no frills, nothing fancy; just good handmade dumplings by nice people."^^ .
