The place is small, but very cute and welcoming. It's not in an area with a lot of parking. The food was truly amazing; everything was well-balanced and there was nothing lacking in flavor. Their ravioli are really good and you can tell they're made and cooked fresh. It may seem cheap, but it's definitely worth it.

There's a wide selection of dumplings with different fillings. The Xiao Long Bao had a broth filling, which isn't always available. I also found the Sheng Jiang Bao very good, very soft and well-risen, and they also had broth in the filling.
I haven't tried anything else, but I want to return to try more dumplings and the Peking noodles.

Authentic Chinese dumplings with unique flavors. Bao is freshly made and not frozen. Friendly owner couple.

Ordered the fermented soy pork noodles and the mixed steamed dumplings which were both good 👍 the dumplings tasted handmade with very interesting flavours like the wholemeal and spinach dumpling skins. Noodles were a little too salty but the portion was generous. They also had a promotion of free drinks with a certain amount ordered. Definitely will recommend them.

We tried this new Chinese dumpling shop on a cold Sunday evening. I ordered takeout, and the wait was reasonable—about 20 minutes from ordering. Naturally, our order focused on the dumplings, which were truly well-made and delicious, certainly above average. The soy noodles were also good; only the baozi were a bit spongy, but overall, they were enjoyable. The place is small and basic, with limited seating. The takeout packaging is also well-designed, allowing you to take your order home while still piping hot. The value for money is average for this type of restaurant. The free large Coke with a larger order is appreciated. I recommend it to lovers of Chinese cuisine.
