✨ HighlightThis is my second visit, serves the best dumplings I have ever had. There is usually a line out front. Arrived at about 640pm on a Wednesday. Had about 5 to 10min wait. In the queue you get a menu and can pre-order. My last trip was with a large group and the peanut satay dumplings are a must. Tonight I went solo. Ordered #5 pan fried pork buns, #80 stir fried vegetables jasmine tea. About $43 all up. Both dishes were absolutely awesome. I put my leftovers into a 50cent container and left full. Staff are very efficient and very busy. Don't expect a friendly, overly helpful, talkative group. Expect a team working crazy hard to keep up with the demand. The space is a bit like a hole in the wall. It's a little dirty in the corners. The chairs are a bit old, the leather material on the chairs is a bit ripped. The tables are a bit old. But... the food is that good, it just doesn't matter. I fully understand why they are so busy and so excited to go again.→
