The service was a little hectic here but was acceptable considering how packed the place was. The dumplings are really good here. I make dumplings myself occasionally and I also eat a lot of store-bought frozen ones. Freshly made dumplings are always miles better. The dumpling filling here has a nice balance of meat and vegetable and tastes fresh and well seasoned. As for their Dongbei dishes, they really nailed those old-school comforts such as the Beef and Potatoes, once a heavenly dish during the difficult time, the nostalgia for many millennials from the Manchurian provinces.

Heard this place was famous for their dumplings. Coworker brought me here since she LOVES dumplings and I mean like 20+ dumplings in one sitting kind of non stop eating love. Anyways, came here around 730pm the restaurant was packed busy. We waited probably about 15 minutes before we got seated. FYI, this place is super honger.
Three steamed dumplings (abalone, sea cucumber, shrimp, & meat) - Set of 12 dumplings in an order. They are quite small like 1 inch by 0.5 inch. Pretty tasty. Soft. Juicy. $18.95, not worth for what it is.
String beans with mince - What's mince? Well basically is XO sauce. Beans very super tasty and actually quite spicy. Best szechuan beans I've ever had. $12.95, almost same as other Chinese restaurants.
Garlic flavoured pork ribs - It's literally the 3inch ribs that is battered and fried then tossed with garlic in a wok. This dish was alright. Hard to eat, must use hands to cold and tear with your teeth. $14.95, kind of pricey. It had 7 ribs.
Service - Poor. Our tea took forever to come even when we asked for it like 3x. They never checked up on us during our feast. Servers spoke Mandarin and poor English. While paying, he asked to put in the tip amount for me which was rude. I guess they were expecting at least 10% since according to reviewer Dafang Li said the server threatened them to pay 10% or they'll get people to force them to pay.
I know this looks disgusting LOL...but trust me, it's awesome!! :D Northern style pork bones is one of my favourite interpretations of pork bone!! It's different from other chinese versions, it's more smokey in flavour, and full of spices!! This version was really good, although the meat could've been more tender, it was full of flavour with lots of meat on the bones!!
Authentic Northern Chinese cuisine. Very delicious and comforting food! Not sure about the low rating. Might be service related. Great for casual meal with family or a nice meal out with friends. Dumplings are a must have here. Hand made wrappers and a variety of delicious fillings. Even though it says $$$, it's not too expensive depending on what you order. The price point is quite similar to most of the mid range chinese restaurants. The food though is very good. Only downside I found was haphazard service. The waitresses are all quite friendly but not super attentive. Food is slow and service can be slow as well. It's honestly the only dumpling place that serves authentic chinese dumplings, almost as good as my mom's homemade ones.
Delicious home cooking style⋯full of surprises! Definitely a place that I will go back
Handmade, home tasted, real traditional dimpling. Top on my list in great van~~worth trying~(☆_☆)
Everything was good. Would come again. Beef noodles were my favorite with the onion pancake. Not a fancy place. Dumplings were good. They brought them all out and couldn’t tell us which was which. We had to try it to figure it out because we have someone with a shrimp allergy.
Great food, friendly staff.. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to eat chinese authentic foods. Price is fine for this type of dine in.
I found this place to have delicious food. Dumplings are great, the stir fry dishes delicious and fish dish slightly disappointing (because it’s my favourite dish) but not bad. It’s a place for the returning locals but if you can bear with the service, you will love it.
When ever I eat here I feel like I am back in Beijing, China eating there. The food is soooo good. 6 stars.
I like the food here ! Friendly ! Very quick! Reasonable price!
Reasonable prices, good portions, service was decent (spoke English and Mandarin) and dumplings were delicious
