On most occasions I opted to drop into the restaurant without a booking - the last couple of times though, reservations were made and if you are thinking of dining over the weekend service or even in the evening, I think this is wise. My hope that people might overlook this location has past as each time I eat here, there are more and more people.

Is it worth it you ask? To be honest, the dumplings are either out of this world or mediocre. When it is good it is really good, so I hope they will try to improve their consistency of serving food. Besides the typical xiao long pao, their mushroom with truffle dumplings are particularly good as well.

To counter balance the carbs, in terms of green vegetables, try their spinach or string green beans with garlic, or their dou miao (pea shoot).

Of course if you can really eat, their noodles are pretty good - the portions are not large. I usually go for their mushroom and edamame or the mince pork in a bean sauce.

If you have never tried salted egg yolk lava buns - liu sha bao - do give it a try! It's an experience! But if you can't manage something that heavy, then the mango pomelo sago is always a refreshing option.
