Description

Beyond the signature dumplings, the menu and service tend to divide opinion. Main dishes like the braised pork rice can feel ordinary, and the spicy chicken has been called overly salty, though portions are generous enough to share. The staff are helpful and kind when leading the cooking classes, but the day-to-day service during a quick dine-in or takeout visit can be hit-or-miss. It functions best as an unpretentious stop for a fast, casual meal.
