Wow great hole in the wall. Kids were hungry and couldn't think of a place to go. Found this place searching for dumplings and gave it a go. Everyone was good: mushu hand cut noodles, 3 ingredients pan fried dumplings, fish boiled dumplings, beef cold dish, and Dan dan noodles. My favorite was the 3 ingredient dumplings and dan dan noodles. The mushu noodles is what the waitress recommended and didn't disappoint either. I definitely will come back. Also to vindicate this location, there's a newspaper clipping written by Mr Jonathan Gold about this place as well. They also sell frozen dumplings too!

I was pleasantly surprised how yummy this place was. I saw this place waiting for ramen last time so came to try out today. The beef in spicy sauce wasn't that spicy but was good with it's unique taste. My kids loved the free sides especially the peanuts. We ordered their best known poridge per the server (scallop porridge, 3 portions). We ordered 4 add-ons: fish, pork, 1000yo egg, and a crunchy white root. We included a Chinese donut. Everything was good, better than I expected. Is it a bit pricy, yes, but the quality of the ingredients is worth it in my opinion. I didn't know the base poridge includes shrimp and clams. I think I may add more clams next time. On a cold night, it hit the spot.

Food was delicious. I was a bit worried about the buns with sea cucumber in them, but those tasted great too. I would say it's a bit spicier than expected, so go with no spice if you are a bit sensitive. The meat pies and noodles I also enjoyed very much. I would definitely order the spicy cold beef appetizer, it had this light sweet crust too that was different than I've had. Pro tip: they do have crunchy chili oil that you need to request. They also do breakfast now, so I'll definitely try that next
