The best authentic Chinese food in downtown! Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, amazing eggplant, grilled cauliflower, smashed cucumber salad, and even the rice were perfect and very yummy. Portions were gigantic, two-three dishes are enough for two people. The staff is friendly, always smiling and ready to recommend something. Definitely our go-to place every week

Went to dine-in on a Monday early night so it wasnt that busy. The dumplings are juicy and filled with meat. The noodle smells and taste very authentic and handmade. The server regularly stopped by to fill our water. Great atmosphere as well. Good job

Good food, reasonably priced and big portion , one place fried rice is good enough for two people if not too hungry. Close like Indo-chinese recipe ;) Enjoyable spice level

Delighted to eat these delicious dumplings! In my experience in Toronto, these were the best dumplings I've ever tasted!!!! Additionally in the photo you can see the Kung Pao chicken with fried rice, great for sharing. A highlight is that everything is very clean and the service is very good. 5/5

So so so glad this place is Downtown! Have dined in a few times already and it is consistently the best. Food is served extremely quick and fresh and even though they specialize in dumplings/buns their dishes are such high quality. Service is also as good as it gets, everyone is kind and the waitress working weekdays is so nice! Definitely underrated because never as crowded as its quality and service should guarantee it is. Will have to try and get take out next for a full review! June 2024 (Update): Still a favourite DT! New dishes/pictures updated.

Nice little place for dumplings, but they actually have quite an extensive menu. Some dishes are quite reasonable and others are on the pricier side. Portions are generous. Not as crowded as other places close by, but worth a spot on the rotation. I would recommend this place for both locals and visitors.

Good soup dumplings and food in general. I found the skin of the soup dumplings a bit thicker than I’d prefer, but nothing wrong with that. Food was tasty and at a good standard. Environment was open and airy, so didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Lots of food to choose from, but had to get the standard to review the quality. Staff was readily available and didn’t have anything noteworthy to criticize. Good job!

Most of the food was really good, garlic broccoli is super good. Hot and sour soup was a bit bland. 8/10
