Very good. Finally we have good dumplings in Encinitas! Everything is very fresh and well prepared. Very thankful for the vegan options!

The food is good however the wait time estimation is WAY off and they are so understaffed. We checked in on the ipad, and the estimated wait time was 15-30 minutes. We were finally seated an hour and a half later. When we went to order, they were out of many things on the menu and said the most basic things like rice would take longer than usual to make. I understand it gets busy, but the manager should really plan better for weekend nights. It wasn’t the staff’s fault, but they definitely suffered as a result. There were a lot of angry customers due to the long wait times, incorrect time estimates, and the fact that they were out of everything. Poor management!!

We happily stumbled upon this place and are pleasently suprised. It was fast and affordable! The pan fried dumplings was crispy and cucumbers fresh! The noodles were a little bland for my taste but overall above average

The egg drop soup was DIVINE! 🤤 Just what I wanted on a chilly night.
The vegan dumplings were very fresh and light! Dunked the dumplings in my own concoction of hot and sour soup, chilli oil, vinegar.
It's unbelievable that all the items on the menu are below 20$! Will definitely keep coming back here when I'm in the area.
Came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were friendly and let us sit at any open table. I was very positively surprised by how good the food was. The braised beef noodle soup had a delicious broth, and the beef was cooked so tender. The bbq pork buns also had an incredible filling and were so soft and fluffy. I would come here again!

Delicious food. However, this place genuinely has the worst service … CONSISTENTLY. The workers are super sweet, I feel bad they take the wrath for a full room of angry customers waiting 1.5 hour + for food. Definitely a management issue, three or four times in a row this happened with a minimally busy night. The workers are always apologetic and sweet, but it definitely is ran terribly and needs to be figured out because this is how you lose customers. Nobody wants to wait, and tonight I waited 80 minutes.

Had an amazing time at this super cute dumpling bar! The food was amazing but the service was unmatched. Gavin waited on us and he was the best! 10/10 would highly recommend making the trip out.

Great food and atmosphere. Really cool seeing the dumpling masters at work. Gavin was exceptional waiting our table. Can’t recommend this place enough.

The food is delicious! We ordered egg rolls, but they forgot to bring them at first. When they finally arrived, they were so piping hot that I actually burned my lip. Just a heads-up to use caution if you order the egg rolls

They gave me something completely different on a take out order and will not even answer the phone to correct it. You have to check every single box before
This is in reply to the below: My wife left a voicemail to your restaurant and has not been called back two days later.
And the email below is invalid.

stars. Chicken wontons were amazing, and so were the Pork XLB. However, the Chocolate XLB was the star of the show. SO insanely good.
stars. A side dish was forgotten.
stars. It is rather small and quiet, so conversations can be easily heard. Decor is lacking.
