" Wonderful place for some great dumplings! As someone who loves authentic Asian cuisine, I really appreciate their dedication to quality. The popcorn chicken was particularly delicious. Service was friendly but the wait was longer than expected. Still worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! The dumplings are made fresh, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. I loved the creativity in the menu and everything tasted unlike any dumpling experience I’ve had before. Will definitely be returning to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was fantastic! I loved the atmosphere; it has a unique charm with its rustic decor. The staff were super friendly, and I felt welcomed immediately. I ordered the beef ho fun and they were so generous with the portion. My only gripe would be that my dumplings were slightly overcooked, but overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Regrettably, this was not my favorite spot. I found the flavors to be more bland than anticipated, particularly the xiao long bao which were a letdown. The setting had potential, but it felt too hustle and bustle for my taste. I probably won’t return for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience! The staff were courteous and attentive. While waiting for my order, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the place. I had the chicken five spice, which was a real treat. If you're a dumpling lover, do yourself a favor and come here! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was nice, but the food fell short of expectations. Both the xiao long bao and the pork bao were bland. The service was adequate, but I expected more from such a popular place. Not likely to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pretty good, but be prepared to wait if you come during peak hours! The flavors are excellent, particularly in the noodles and wontons. I do wish they offered larger portions or combo options though because I left feeling a bit hungry. " (*Curated Review*)
