Both times the service was excellent, staff were friendly and fast considering we had ordered so much! The restaurant can be hard to spot the first time as there aren't really any big signs outside and that makes it easy to walk past. Inside the restaurant is quite dim and felt stuffy but was able to cool down with a nice drink. Food wise, the dumplings were beautiful. Last night I tried the salt and pepper squid as well. Those were alright but it was literally just deep fried squid with salt and pepper sprinkled on top... I thought it was a bit bland for the price and should have been served with sauce at least. Otherwise really lovely meal!

Pan fried dumplings were a little dry. Vegetarian spring rolls were definitely the standout. Overall was good but not amazing.

Constant morsels of delectable nom noms. Atmosphere is light and casual while having a sense of comfort. You're attended to, fed well, and head home feeling like a bit of a Fat Dumpling yourself ^ ^
