It’s bad :( we should have listened to the reviews. I have low expectations for a fast food place but this one has exceeded all expectations.

The service is terrible ..will never go back again…hopefully they will hire another cashier unless she is the owner..which she probably doesn’t care if she has no customers. ??

They don't like to take credit card, but when I admitted that's all I had and decided to leave, she begrudgingly accepted. In return for covering her higher credit card fees, I did tip more! As someone else said, despite serving HK-style shark fin soup, they don't speak the local lingua franca Cantonese, and I saw the lady struggling with English to other customers, so stick to Mandarin, and you won't go wrong.Honestly, was this the best food I've had? No, but it wasn't bad, and for food court food, it was actually decent. I got the 牛肉捲餅 (Beef Roll Wrap) along with the soup. Got me through the evening before my ACTUAL meal! By actual meal, I mean my girlfriend going to another stall and getting me some 雲吞麵 ❤️.

Would have given service 0 stars if I could have. Food was just ok and marginally better than dumplings you buy at the Supermarket.Please don't speak to the cashier, I believe she is only allowed a limited no. of words/ day and she will not be wasting that on customers. If you don't catch her reply, don't dare ask again or suffer her non-verbal, but effective disdain!

Super rude owner and very cheap. Charges for utensils. Doesn’t even give you the top half of the takeout box.

Even though the pie was small and expensive, it was unpalatable and overcooked. The waiter still ignored me, which was amazing.

It's really not that bad if you look past the service. ?? If you can not overlook the service or her condescending tone, you will surely give this place a 1-star.Even though there were at least 3 different types of dumpling ingredients to choose from, I tried all, and they all tasted the same. ??PS. They sell "Hong Kong-style shark fin soup," so you would assume they speak Cantonese. Nope, cannot speak Cantonese. Only Boiling Wintermelon and English. ?

The worst pie I have ever eaten. The 9 yuan pie is only a small one, a little bigger than the palm of your hand, and the dough is bitter, it is too unpalatable! ! ! ! !

The food was ok, but I have eaten better dumplings from the frozen section of T&T. It was so full of condiments that it gave me a stomach ache and it was bland at the same time.The worst was the lady cashier, not rude but so sick of life and people (or is it because I am mixed and didn't look Chinese enough?), i almost didn't buy but my daughter wanted dumplings.

My mother and I decided we wanted to try this place out. We don’t speak mandarin (I can understand a little bit) so we ordered in English. I approached the lady at the counter and she ignored me, so I proceeded to say, “Hello, I would like to order please.” She responds in mandarin saying “What did we want?” In a rude tone. We responded with saying the combo please, however we struggled with naming items off the combo. The lady at the counter proceeds to flip the laminated menu and slams it on the counter. My mom and I are in shock at this point and decided not to order from them. I suggest avoiding this place. :(P.s. there are dumplings at another place, one stall down (beside potato corner to the right). I highly suggest checking out that place :)

I am not Chinese dumpling expert but enjoyed the chive dumpling combo from this place located at Aberdeen mall food court. The food tasted healthy and yummy. It didn’t blow my mind but enough to convince me to return to try other menu. However I wish portion size was slightly bigger as I felt hungry rather shortly after eating it.

Very rude woman at the front who will constantly roll her eyes and act as if it is your fault for not being able to hear her heavy accent.
