really good
upstairs seating is quite nice
only thing is you have to go pick up your food and they put a bunch up on one tray so its kinda scary to go up the stairs with it
otherwise very good dumplings

The food here was absolutely fantastic. I especially loved the dumplings — the soup inside them was incredible.
My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was also excellent. It came with a slice of lemon and a sauce that paired beautifully with it.

The service was great: welcoming, polite, and delivered by genuinely lovely staff members.
The atmosphere was also wonderful, with nice music, a clean and tidy environment, and a stylish overall look.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys this type of cuisine.
👍
10/10! Love it, would come again.

Food was spectacular, and a very fair price, atmosphere was very nice as well, bamboo decorations everywhere.

We asked for a variety of things and everything was according to what was expected, specially the ramen and the number 51. Great choice if you're eating here.

Service was nice, attentive.

For all in pictures (5 plates) and 2 dumplings (10 pieces) the total was about € 53, fair.

Would come back 9/10
