My friend and I shared a few different dumplings and things on the menu. We also had a vegan friend with us who ordered separately. All the food arrived close together, very hot, and made sure we knew which ones were hers. The food tasted amazing, it was cheap and the majority came in sets of six, so definitely getting your money's worth. The actual place was quiet and peaceful. I loved it here, would 1000% go again.” | Dollar Reviews-Google
