Got the food truck at Duke, just tried the dumplings and my friends rice noodles. The line was super long so I thought the food would def be fire (it was). The dumplings were really really good and tasted authentic, but I wish they were a bit fresher. When I ordered he just grabbed a box from a heater or smth and they weren’t super warm. Next time I definitely want to try the egg drop / wonton soup.
EDIT: 2nd time I tried their spicy chicken mushroom noodles, and they were super super good. Could’ve benefitted from more mix-ins and meat since I ended up just having noodles left about halfway through but the actual taste was 10/10.

Overall Score – 22 out of 10
This spot is definitely unique—but not necessarily in a good way. It’s tucked off a main road in a partly abandoned area, and the setup raises more questions than comfort. The ordering process happens outside with no real help, and the building didn’t feel welcoming or safe. There were no drinks available, and the restroom situation wasn’t clear. While it may have a reputation as a food truck, the physical location isn’t recommended.
Dumplings – 5.5 out of 10
These were decent. They tasted fresh, but the quality of ingredients felt questionable. Nothing too memorable, but not bad either.

Ordered online for pick-up, First time there. I was pretty confused with where to go and it took a moment to find someone who could communicate with me. They told me to go to the other side so I did but then they came to hand me my take out food. It was a really nice day so i ate on the picnic table outside. I didn’t mind the set up but I could see how it might be inconvenient if or when it gets busy or the weather is not nice. I parked easily right in front but there were few spaces.
The food: I wanted to like it but I just did not. The dumplings (pork/chive) were mediocre at best. Very little filling to dough ratio, they were extremely fragile, and the filling had almost no flavor somehow. It needed salt/spices, and it was pretty dry. The sauce was equally lackluster and had almost no taste? Unclear how dipping sauce can be under salted lol. I hoped that dipping them in there would add some flavor but it just didn’t unfortunately.
I also had a pork bun. The bun looked beautiful and really well done so I was really excited for it but again, it fell flat. Very little filling to dough ratio and it was just bland– the quality of the meat seemed off somehow.
Side note: I pan fried the leftover dumplings later at home and made my own sauce, and they were much better.
I have traveled extensively and lived in several countries in Asia and I have a culinary background, so I’m not seeking waterdowned Americanized food or rating them against unrealistic expectations. I was really hoping to find a nice authentic Asian restaurant where I could go regularly, but sadly this just wasn’t it. The search for the best dumplings in the triangle continues…

I accidentally placed an order and called within one minute to cancel. Instead of handling it promptly, they stalled and delayed until the food was already prepared, which made my cancellation request seem unreasonable then.
For context, I’ve ordered from this place close to ten times and have probably spent 600ish here in total, so this isn’t based on a single experience.
Overall, the service was mediocre at best. Prices are higher than most places on Franklin Street, yet the quality does not justify it. In such a location, it’s unacceptable. The dumplings appear to be frozen rather than freshly made. I have doubts about the freshness of the filling, the oil tasted off, and the wrappers felt overly thick and doughy, almost like undercooked paste.
There is significant room for improvement. Despite being delivery-only with no dine-in option, the service attitude was still poor and felt more focused on extracting money than providing a good experience. It may only appeal to freshie who haven’t had much exposure to good Asian food.
So disappointing, won’t be ordering again.

OMG – what a hidden gem! The dumplings – the beef and the vegan burgers – the egg rolls – still dreaming about the foods! A must try!

Pork burger was excellent. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The bun was the perfect amount of crisp on the outside. The hot and sour soup’s tanginess goes great with rice. The dumplings in the soup are tender, but do not fall apart when you pick them up. I also got the frozen shrimp and vegetable dumplings. They are also good dipped in the soup and the texture is much different than store bought, the outer wrap is not as thick. Definitely will return. 下次见!

Parking lot is a nightmare. Order for pickup was ready fast and warm, but they included part of someone else’s order in our bag that we returned to them. I could see why some reviews talk about their orders being messed up. The buns, fries or steamed, were dry and didn’t have much filling. The filling inside wasn’t very flavorful. The spicy pork burger had good flavor but felt greasy and dry at the same time. The grease got soaked up by the bun and the meat was dry. The chicken and pork dumplings were good but I would not recommend the shrimp ones. It would also be nice if they offered a fried dumpling option. This place is pretty far out of my way so I am not likely to be a return customer.

This food is so good! I have been working my way through the menu to try each dish and so far every single one has been delicious. The spring rolls, Rice Noodle with Spicy Beef Mushroom Sauce, and pork burger are all amazing.
The hot and sour soup is unique from many others that I have had – it is not the typical thick broth full of mushroom and tofu but a thinner broth with intense spice, sour and málà. It is very flavorful, and one of my favorites.
I also get their frozen dumplings to have later. My favorite so far is the Pork Belly Pickled Cabbage, but they have all been excellent.

Stopped on our way driving from Asheville to DC, and go glad we did. We got the pork and cabbage dumplings, spicy cold noodles (perfect for a hot day), and the spicy beef burger. Everything was delicious. The owner came out to ask us if we enjoyed the food, which was really nice. If we hadn’t been on a road trip I would have definitely bought some frozen dumplings to go.

Finally got to go and pick up Chinese burgers and dumplings from Sister Liu’s Kitchen tonight! Definitely authentic since the woman who came out with our food spoke little English and had some difficulty communicating with my husband. Nice that you can order online then pick up. They give you a number to text when you get there so they know whose there to pick up. Definitely slower than the 15 minutes at dinner time so give yourself at last another 10+ minutes if you order after 5pm. Handmade dumplings are really tasty and just like we have at my parents house and the Chinese burgers are very tasty with authentic flavor. Especially the pork burger. Also got some frozen dumplings to take home which will be great when other dinner plans fall through. Will be back again!
