It breaks my heart that this place isn't more heavily reviewed/more popular. I'm so glad I found this gem.The food is absolutely spectacular. The buns and dumplings are handmade by the three or so Chinese aunties that run the place. It's so authentic, it'll be difficult to order because they don't really speak English so you'll have to point to the menu if you can't speak Mandarin. They're actually really popular on a Chinese food ordering site/blog so they know what's up.Recommendations: definitely their beef rolls, sheng Jian bao, and chive boxes! Oh! A fair warning, their XLB is more bready than regular XLB. It's more of a mini bun than it is a dumpling. Still tastes hella bomb! So I'd still recommend that. Also, they sell bags of frozen dumplings and wonton ~.50 cents each.Staff: they're super kind. They were patient enough to listen to my horrible Mandarin Chinese (I speak cantonese) and if I wasn't familiar with a menu item, they took it out of the fridge or showed me a picture of it. 100% recommend!
