I also got the pork pot sticker things which I always love. He gave me a buzzer for when it would be ready, was very fresh and was night to sit down while I waited.
The lady staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made me feel at ease right away. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and I truly enjoyed the touch of Chinese culture throughout the place. Although I didn’t get to try many items this time, the warm environment alone makes me want to visit again.
As a sweet gesture, the staff gifted me a cute keychain, and they also offered complimentary snacks — such thoughtful touches that really made my day!
