" I’ve visited this restaurant a couple of times and I keep coming back for the dumplings! However, I wish the menu was a bit more varied. Everything I've tried is delicious, but as someone who loves variety, I would appreciate more options to choose from. The ambiance is cozy but can be a bit too packed on busy nights. Overall, it’s a great place to satisfy a craving " (*Curated Review*)

" I had really high hopes for this place, but I was a bit let down. The layout is cozy but a little disorganized, which made it hard to order. The food itself was alright — I enjoyed the cucumber salad a lot, but the noodles didn’t have the depth of flavor that I was hoping for. Service was friendly, but they seemed overworked. I think I might need to try a different dish on my next visit before making a final judgment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The dumplings were some of the best I've ever had, and the soups were flavorful and hearty. I really liked the BYOB option, as it made our dinner feel even more special. This little restaurant is a must-visit for all noodle lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated a friend's birthday here and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is a bit cramped as it's quite small, but the vibe was lively. The service was friendly and attentive. We tried a range of dishes including their famous dumplings and noodle dishes, all of which were packed with flavor! I loved how everything was made fresh. Just be prepared for a wait, as it's a hot spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was not impressed by my visit to Lao Peng You. While the dumplings were good, the flavors were not as authentic as I anticipated. I found the portions to be on the smaller side given the price. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed; I had to repeat my order a couple of times. I don't think I'll be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine, this is the place to be! The pork and chive dumplings were reminiscent of home and bursting with flavor. My only complaint was waiting for a table, but it was worth it. I loved the youthful atmosphere and energy in the restaurant; it made for a lively dinner. The BYOB option is a nice twist, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" My trip to Lao Peng You was pleasant. Overall, the dumplings were good, but I felt that the flavors could use a bit more depth. The service was acceptable and polite, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The prices are reasonable given the quality. Just be prepared for the busyness in this small space. " (*Curated Review*)
