Delicious juicy perfectly made dumplings at a nice small joint. We got lamb cilantro dumplings and pork shrimp chives dumplings, both the dumplings were really plum and squirted hot delicious soup on every bite. They say that they don't add MSG but frankly MSG being bad is just a myth and that would have made the dumplings even better as we felt that the only thing the dumplings were lacking was a bit of salt. But either way really good dumplings.
This is a great spot for really authentic northern Chinese dumplings. All are handmade in the shop.
I have not tried any of the salads - but they too look fresh.
One of the best dumpling places in Vancouver. Talk about a hidden gem. Juicy dumplings, the pork, mushroom dumpling is what I have pictured with my review. Dumpling style is from Northeast China, near the Russia/Mongol border.
They sold out of the lamb cilantro dumpling when I was there but I heard it was great. Warning, service may be slow when it's busy as it's just one lady that does it all.
Yummy, fairly priced, hand-made dumplings. I grab the Lamb and Cilantro from the freezer and cook it at my convenience at home. Very basic and small dining area. Cash only.

This unassuming Northern Chinese dumpling specialty restaurant is a diamond in the rough. The owner/chef Francis makes her dumplings fresh daily. Our party ordered the Pork and Cabbage, Pork and Celery and Pork and Peppers; they were all delicious.
The dumplings were boiled, but she also serves them pan fried and steamed. The filling was flavourful and juicy, but not overly salted. The dumpling wrapper had a nice and firm, but not excessively chewy texture, as the chef expertly cooked her dumplings to perfection.
We also ordered the Northern Salad, a quick-pickle of sliced bean curd, cabbage, cucumber; the seasonal cold fish, mackerel stewed with tomatoes; and the marinated pork loin, served on the bone.
To finish our meal, Francis served us "Dumpling Soup", which is the water used to cook her dumplings. In spite being half-Chinese, drinking the dumpling cooking water was a foreign concept. Francis explained it is the culture in Northern China to take "Dumpling Soup" with your dumpling meal.
