The old lady provided us a sweet and lovely service, she is really nice and attentive to family with young children, not just for us but for other families with young kids dinning there. We were dinning with our 3 year old toddler, and we just let him sit in a regular chair, she was a sweet to offer us a solid seat cushion to make sure my toddler can eat comfortably. The food was authentic and nostalgic for my husband. Very well priced. Don’t expect fancy decor or posh service, this place gives a vibe of going to eat at your grandmother’s house.

Friendly service, lovely interior decor and lighting with ultra fast serving time, decent prices and portion sizes!
Sizzling beef came out very prettily, strong pepper smell. Tender vegetables and chewy beef-not the softest but definitely not tough by all means. Just the right amount of flavor without needs for accompanying with rice. 7.5/10
Salted duck not too salty just right, tender meat. Pretty tasty and needn't accompany with rice.
8/10
Fried bread crisp upon bite but I find it a bit too thick and bread like for my taste. Had it with the sweet soy bean milk which was average, just your run-of-the-mill sweet Soy.
6/10
Beans had a very strong when brought over and smelt delicious. The mixture accompanying the beans were fabulous and chicken was good as it contained flavor and was not bland.
8/10
Meatball soup fresh watery soup flavor, the meatball was extremely tender and falls apart when spooned, taste was delightful, recommend!
8.5/10
Steamed buns juice was hot, the perfect blend of savory and sweet, the meat soft and succulent and the wrap in no way overpowers the taste of the bun.
8.5/10
Fried bun filled with similar soup to the steamed buns but
less amount, pork filling was again succulent. This time the
bun amount was more but that's a given for the type of bun it is. The bottom is crispy and topped with sesame and added a lovely crunch to the bun.

I was blown away by the dishes. All the ingredients were fresh and deliciously prepared. Service was friendly and fast too. This was a truly mouthwatering and memorable meal at a good price. Highly recommend it!

Well let's face it, we don't go to dumpling eateries for the service. I came here because it was on a 'must-try' list. We tried both the steamed and fried dumplings which I rated pretty equally at a 7/10. The deep fried shrimps were interesting.. in a good way. Pork noodles were great.
I might go back to taste other dishes but with so many dumpling restaurants out there chances are slim.
UPDATE. A couple of years later we're back.
Spicy pork noodles had slight to no spice, and tasted pretty meh until we added some soy/chili sauce mix. We tend to try the same dishes if we like them so had the shrimps again. Not as good as the first time there was too much oil. For the first time in a long time I wasn't able to finish the dish because of it.
We did arrive for a late dinner and it was packed. It was so noisy it was distracting. Nothing could be done but it makes me wonder why people insist on shouting in such a small room.
