Ordered tofu dumplings and a few bites in I realized there was SHRIMP in them. Whole shrimps. I’m vegetarian so couldn’t eat them. Bubble tea was mediocre. Bubbles were mushy and had an odd flavor and tea was literally just milk with a splash of tea. Musky sugary milk. No thanks. Also wasn’t any red pepper flakes in the dumpling sauce like there used to be. Used to be a regular, but this place has really gone downhill. Won’t be returning, especially after hearing they have mice
Great post-wine tasting dinner. Located close to UVA campus so parking was challenging. We enjoyed the 5 pork dumplings and 5 shrimp & chive dumplings (both wonderful), seaweed salad, fried rice, and Tonkotsu Ramen (very tasty! ordered it only a little spicy and it was still slightly too spicy for me). Everything is served in to-go containers, but we still ate it there at one of their tables. Two of us ate for about $25. Steady stream of college students came through ordering carry out - they turned their orders around quickly!
This place is almost a hole in the wall, but man are they good! They have super delicious dumplings, their fried rice is literally the best rice I've ever had, and having a super wide selection of bubble tea is always going to draw me into the store. It's really no wonder why they are PACKED on weekends when college students are in. If you haven't gone here, definitely try them out. They are one of the best take out restaurants in Charlottesville.
Favorite dumpling place! I order here with friends 2x a month and I get the tofu dumplings with peanut noodles A++ Good portions and fills you up - so good I wish I had leftovers
My favorite go to place when I am in Charlottesville. My favorite is the shrimp and chive dumplings. The soups are great too. They also have bubble tea
Very fast and convenient. Not a big fan of the shrimp or chicken dumplings but the pork and tofu ones are OK.
The card transaction is hard to do on their site and can be fickle, so that was my first qualm, but the ramen, that topped it off for me. The ramen was good, don’t get me wrong, but I felt like I was picking bone from the duck meat out of my mouth more than I was actually enjoying my meal, I barely got any meat. My two dumplings were so small, they weren’t worth getting for almost 2 dollars extra. It’s a good amount, and the broth is delicious as are the flavors, but to me, it wasn’t worth spending 32 for two people.
cold sesame noodles were so refreshing after walking around during a hot day! definitely a nice and quick spot for takeout.
Love there teas and there noodle soup is out of this world
The dumplings are unbelievably good! I usually get the pork dumplings. The fried rice and ramen are also great. Highly recommend!
