Dumpling Time

"The food here is mediocre at best. I got the jellyfish salad, but it was lacking in sauce and in salt. I'm surprised that considering it's from the ocean, it would've been salty. For the dumpling, it was good. It was lacking something again. The drinks are way too strong, and I feel like it wasn't worth it. The service is amazing, tho. They have been extremely helpful and attentive."

"Food average, and service subpar due to understaffed. Not much service when only 1 waiter managing 9 tables. The busperson doesn’t take orders and didn’t tell the waiter that our table would like to order more food. Ordered: - BBQ pork bao - steamed and pan seared, one of the best dishes we ordered; - pork XLB and TomYum XLB - not much flavor, trending toward sweet than savory, had better ones somewhere else; - shrimp toast - didn’t see any shrimp paste or shrimp, only see the Chinese fried bread with spicy mayo; - lamb dumplings - has a strong lamb gaming taste; - cucumber salad - crispy and spicy, maybe one of the best dishes we ordered; and - southeast fried rice noodles - OK but nothing extraordinary about it. The ambience tries to trendy with a bar serving alcohol and few TV screens having sports and music program on."

"I’m so glad they were opened last Christmas. I’m very grateful for the customer service we got and for all the employees working on Christmas Day. I know it’s Christmas but I really appreciate that there’s one or two restaurants that were open in Santa Row during the holiday. As it was so hard to find an open restaurant. The food was great, the Asian noodle is similar to a Filipino food called pansit but the chicken is crispy and has other vegetable ingredients. The spring rolls were delicious. We also ordered some chicken but forgot to take picture. However, the food and service were excellent to me. So 5 stars overall. Thanks again for your service during the holiday."

"Everything was pretty good, my favorite was the shrimp toast on the Chinese donut. There was no ginger provided for the xiao long bao but we could have asked.. green beans lacked flavor but we can add soy sauce. Overall I’d return, the ambiance was enjoyable and service attentive."

"We came in Saturday afternoon and it was by no means busy. Walked right in and got sat. The bad: service is just okay, we stood around for a few minutes before finally being sat by the bartender as he yelled across the restaurant at us, our water sat empty, and for whatever reason one of the staff (older Hispanic man) thinks it’s okay to move sauce from a plate you’re eating off of. That was a bit ridiculous to me. The pork soup dumpling didn’t have much flavor and I wouldn’t order it again. Now for the good, the rest of the food we ordered was delicious, and had a lot of flavor. The Beijing noodles were cooked well and the flavor was quite good. The garlic string beans was cooked well and had a nice crunch. The cucumber salad had a great sauce it was soaked in and a little kick on the end. The chicken gyoza was tender and fresh, the veggie spring roll was crunchy as could be and both Sauces were delicious as well. The crispy tofu was a delight. The outside had a nice crunch and the inside was soft as a cloud. Will be trying other locations but would come back no questions asked."
