Petite Dumpling

“We enjoyed a lovely meal on the avenue. Dinner service got really busy, and the tables on the closed street had already filled up. They were kind enough to bring more tables outside so that we could enjoy the lovely weather under the light of a nearly full moon. In spite of the fact that the order system went down, and a seemingly small staff, the food was really delicious and the prices were reasonable, considering the neighborhood average. We opened our appetites with a pot of jasmine tea served with dainty tea glasses. We then began our meal with the crispy duck rolls, which had an interestingly creamy and slightly starchy interior and were seved with a tangy sauce. Then, a steaming bowl of chicken congee which came topped with a thin slice of cruller and some cilantro and scallion and a bit of fried shallot. I added a half tea egg, some white pepper, and soy sauce which elevated it. We had the the lamb dill dumplings, which were piping hot and delightfully flavorful. We selected the Chinese broccoli for our daily green, and they were flash fried, perfectly crisp, lightly salty, with a hint of garlic. Our final dish, the taro cake (which they were kind enough to comp due to the slower service), had the most lovely texture, and was served on a spectacular spicy sauce tinged with five spice. Sadly, that was the dish I forgot to photograph, but it was so good that we will be back to eat it again, and to try many of their other offerings.”

“Nice small place! Got their shrimp shumai, cucumber mala salad, and crab soup dumplings, which came out delicious. Also got their steamed rice noodles and curry fish ball, which lacked some flavor and was too soupy but still decent. Their passion fruit iced tea was also great. Overall, food was good! However, the server was not too attentive. Had to wait a while for my menu and check, which I ended up having to go to the counter for myself. Would come here again, just wish there was better service.”

“Fair prices, delicious food, attentive staff. Tried an array of dumplings and bao buns. The taste was good, nothing out of this world per se but quite tasty. The cold sake was refreshing and portions were favorable. Great to have as an option when craving good dumplings and dim sum.”
