"A good busy bustling vibe. A good selection of dumplings that are freshly made. The staff are very friendly, full of smiles and efficient. Staff making sure the orders are taken and delivered with help of an electric buzzer after making the order. A lengthy wait gives you time to find a seat in good court type style. You can actually watch the dumplings being made and cooked. Dumplings received were steamed and served with a nice vinegar, chives or spring onion and spicy chili. Tasted great and obviously fresh."
