You will know there is indeed something special going on here when you see the number of regulars pack into the tiny, no-frills space, which claims a whopping four tables and a small takeaway counter to its name. You will know there is indeed something special going on here when you see the number of regulars pack into the space. When you notice a large number of regulars crammed into a small area, you will realize that this location is hosting an event of exceptional significance. Paul Yu and his daughter Rebecca own and operate the business together as a father-daughter duo. They once oversaw a larger site, but they have since moved into this quaint little corner, and their regular clients don't seem to be bothered by the change. To start, we have the pan-fried pork buns, which are made of five pillowy buns that have been loaded with tasty and juicy pork, and then pan-fried to perfection until they are golden and crunchy. Because they have a crisp shell and a vibrant, soft inside composed of rice noodles and bright vegetables, potstickers created with vegetarian fillings are just as wonderful as those prepared with meat because they have the same characteristics. Attention those who like noodles: the soups are tasty, but the dumplings are what really make this place stand out.

We love Dim Sum! We had our favorites: shrimp hargow, shrimp and pork shumei, and added the wonderful crab and pork dumpling. Portions larger than expected, priced commensurate.

Good taste, high prices. Didn't notice that orders are 6 dumplings instead of standard 12 until i got home. Was so hungry.

This is a good spot for hot soy milk, dumplings, potstickers, sticky rice, and noodle. Those are my usual orders for the last 2 years. I am glad they are using next door to extend their space. No dine in availabe at this time. Even if they did, I still recommend to do take out.

Dumplings were yummy and 5 pieces around $7 I think overall really liked their dumplings will come back !!

Best place for takeout. The food is always super fast and fresh. I’m so excited to try out their new expanded menu!

This place never fails to make amazing dumplings. My favorite go tos are shanghai dumplings, pork buns, and beef noodles. I'm excited that they have expanded their menu!

Expanded to next door and revised their hours. Expanded menu too. See latest photos. Good flavor and meat portions on old menu's stewed beef over rice. Haven't eaten from new menu yet. Often order rice roll and have noticed smaller size and higher price. Sometimes contained hard rice grains in the past. But ordered rice roll today and it was great. Crunchy cruller in the middle, pork floss and some salty pickled vegetable enrobed in warm, soft sticky rice. Hit the spot and highly recommended.

Love this place and they have a new expanded menu!

Their Salty soy milk with dough fritter was delicious.
