I've always loved the vegetarian dumplings and the Thai tea with cheese foam from here; they were the best I've ever had. However, my experience tonight was quite different. I even reordered, thinking it might have been a one-time mistake since it was so much worse than usual. The tea was overly watery, and there was no cheese foam—just milk that mixed with the tea instead of sitting on top like it usually does. The vegetarian dumplings were also unexpectedly spicy, even though there were no spicy ingredients listed in the description. It's incredibly disappointing and felt like a waste of money. I really hope they can return to the high-quality food and drinks I've enjoyed in the past.

The steamed wontons were served in a delicious sauce and truly satisfied my cravings. However, the baos were a bit soggy by the time I got home, though they were still tasty. I’ve realized that it’s probably better to dine in rather than get takeout, as the food sat in my car for about 30 minutes on the drive back. Overall, everything was delicious, and I'm glad I gave it a try. Next time, I’d love to sample the noodles and other dumplings. I really appreciate being able to see them make the dumplings in the kitchen. I did visit their website and attempted to place an order, but the prices weren’t updated and it said the restaurant was closed. However, I found their hours on Yelp and saw they were open. I drove over, placed my order, and only waited about 10 minutes for my food, which was great for a Saturday around 5:30 PM.
