Wasn’t too bad, better if they had more vegetarian options/ vegetarian Gluten free options. As my friend was vegetarian, gluten free she didn’t have much to choose from.

Food was good and fast service. However, overall service could improve such as the basics. Don't make the customer pack their leftover food from table.

We opted for gluten free for the three of us to keep our diet restricted friend company. Really enjoyed the dumplings but perhaps the Mongolian beef was a little plain as some more sauce would have been nice. Overall the service was good, the place was really full and enjoyable overall.

Great little restaurant. My friends and I had dumplings, pork buns, spring rolls and fried rice and all of it was delicious. The place itself is bright and has a cool vibe, but it is a bit hard to spot from the street, I almost walked past it. would definitely go there again!

I went primarily with a view to sampling the gluten-free dumplings. My son praised them highly, while I thought they were quite good. The pork stir-fry contained gluten, so I did not eat it; however, it was pronounced tasty by the three others with whom I dined. The gluten-containing dumplings were acknowledged to be acceptable but rated below what can be purchased elsewhere. There was nothing to complain about the simple, gluten-free plate of greens. The service was sufficiently friendly and efficient. The meal was inexpensive.

Good value restaurant. Ordered a banquet for a group. Much more attention could be paid to cleanliness of bathroom areas for guests. Vegetarian fried rice had some cubes of ham in it - had to request a replacement. Also, I would suggest inclusion of the pork buns or dumplings into the banquet menu. One thing I would recommend at this restaurant is their steamed pork buns.
