A few words from people who have eaten here recently.
“Another Chinese dumpling restaurant that truly hits the spot! From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The food was excellent! We especially love their xiao long bao, juicy, and flavorful. The pan-fried prok bao bun is another favorite, with a nice crispy base and soft, fluffy bun. Overall, a great place for comfort food and satisfying dumplings. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Their Xiao long bao from both branches that I've been to are consistently good, plenty of soup and pork tasted so good. The spinach wontons were not bad and their fried pork bun was decent. Not sure why they don't have any chili oil as a condiment. Tables a bit tight, but this is how cbd is. I will most likely go back only to their Albany branch.”
“This dim sum spot is legendary! My wife and I went for a Tuesday dinner, and it’s clear why it is so popular in the Asian community that quality is guaranteed. We ordered the pan-fried pork bao, handmade Nan Xiang steamed pork xiao long bao, spring onion oil noodles, and cucumber pickles, perfectly enough for two. The bao was juicy and packed with flavour, and the xiao long bao was very delicious, just one bite and it melts in my mouth. The noodles were a great complement, not too strong in flavour, and the cucumber pickles were an absolute must. We loved every dish and left completely satisfied. Highly recommend!”
“Very delicious broth. We got the dan dan noodles and although it might look spicy with all the redness, it wasn’t at all. Perfectly salted, seasoned, and delicious bowl of noodles. Would love to have some more veggies in the noodles. The Traditional soup dumplings was also delicious, the fillings were tasty and generous amount of it. Aunties were very welcoming as well.”
