Reviews
You order at the register and they bring out the dumplings to you as they are cooked.
Each of the dumplings we ordered were delicious. But I think the soup dumpling was the best!
Most times when I visit there is little to no wait, which is great for planning to pick up food. Don’t expect frilly extras, there are essentially 3-4 types of fillings, and you can decide on pan fried or steamed (I usually go for fried).
When it comes to flavor, these have always been consistently good. I tend to like their pork and shrimp, with a close second being the beef curry. The dumplings are always hot and crunchy on one side. The fillings are always flavorful, and hit the spot. Yes, they are not amazing and worth some kind of special stop, but especially for the price in the area you can’t beat it.
If you’re in the area and need a dumpling fix, you know where to find it!
The dumplings came out after a little bit and looked pretty good. I tried the shumai first. They’re pretty dense and well filled. I felt like they were fairly middle-of-the-road shumai. I couldn’t quite make out the shrimp in them. I think they benefitted from the included sweet soy because they had a basic flavor, not bad, but not complex.
The pork and shrimp dumplings were just ok. I took a bit to see the filling and again, couldn’t really see the shrimp in there. I would have easily taken them for pork & chive dumplings. The dumplings skins were tender, though the very edges on a few seemed kind of dried out/more firm. I used a little black vinegar, again, giving a little more complexity of flavor.
Overall their food was fine, but personally I think the price point and quality don’t totally align with each other. I could see them being less expensive or upping the quality of their items.
Not awful, but fell way short of similar restaurants I have eaten at and ordered from. I’ve had dumplings and dim sum from a variety of cities in the US and Asia and I really can’t recommend ordering from here.
The sweet dipping sauce had more flavor than any of the fillings. Disappointed as I really enjoy dim sum and dumplings, either authentic/traditional flavored or creative options like those that were offered by Ping Pong in DC (before it closed).
