Yummy dumplings. So many choices--we loved the ones with corn. We'll be back for more soon!

Long overdue review for this establishment. I stock dumplings from here in my freezer, so that whenever we don't have time or are otherwise in a hurry, we already have food in the freezer that can be boiled and made ready-to-eat in minutes. Super convenient in a pinch, but also when you feel like some comfort food! My favs include Pork Dumpling with Chinese Spinach and Pork Dumpling with Dill (it's not really dill I think, it's fennel). I also like their Pork Dumpling with Ginseng, but they rarely have it since not many buy this. Occasionally, I'll also pick up their Marinated Radish Cake, Pan Fried Soup Dumpling, and Green Onion Pancake. These are great when you feel like a Chinese breakfast!The Chinese ladies here are super friendly and quick to help pack up what you purchase.

The wonton noodle soup is very authentic. We went with a group of friends with toddlers, the kids love the food. Definitely will go back.

The dumplings are so good! I was surprised that the prices have gone up again since I was last here, but it's still worth it!

One of the best frozen dumpling spots in town. Not cheap anymore (i still remember when it was like $8 vs the $10.99-11.99 now). My person favorite are chive and shrimp dumpling, corn and chicken dumpling and the Shanghainese pastry (salty kind). If you buy 10, you also get 1 free. Stop by if u are ever in the neighborhood

Amazing place to stock up on frozen dumplings-- I've been going with my cooler since 2013. Lots of flavors to choose from and so easy to cook at home for a quick meal or a Chinese holiday.

Great place to pick up good quality handmade dumplings. Good value and very tasty. I always have some in the freezer for quick meal or snacks. I like the current model where you tell them what you want. Before covid I would wander around looking in all the freezers for the items I needed. Now they quickly grab for you. Bring cash as this is a cash only operation. Take out only. You can go up the street for these dumplings prepared.

The frozen dumplings are delicious. The meat buns are also good. The aunts who make the dumplings are all from the north... so I can trust the taste... If you happen to have some freshly baked ones, try them. Basically, I go here to stock up from time to time. Goods. The price is reasonable in the market.

It's an-order-pick-up-frozen -and-go kind of place. Large variety of different dumplings, potstickers, plus beef pancakes, green onion pancakes and more at very affordable prices! You can see them make dumplings from the outside window. Nice lady who works here is always cheerful, but her English is limited. I bought 5 items for $49. It's a good deal! Pay in cash.

Best deal in the city!!!!These dumplings are fire, east to cook, and give you the opportunity to get creative with making your own sauces.And the ladies there are always so sweet and happy to see you. It's really a cool little experience.

LOVE their frozen pork & shrimp won tons!! And the price is beyond reasonable ($6.50 for 20 qty). I bought 4 packages of 20 each to keep in the freezer for a quick, very satisfying won ton soup. I add my own gailan vegetables, cilantro, green onions and it is soooooo delicious!!The place I normally go to (Yummy Dumplings which I also recommend) ran out of frozen pork & shrimp won tons so I came here (which yelpers give an average 4.5).

The dumplings are tasty but they do charge more than other places. Cash is preferred but if your purchase is over $100, they might let you use a credit card (visa, MC) and they let me this time but I've used my credit cards in the past here. The staff don't speak English, only Mandarin which makes it harder to communicate with them but their menu is taped to the front table so you point to what you need. I had asked for chicken with Napa cabbage but she ended up giving me corn, which is OK. That's what I get for not double checking. The packages don't come with instructions but for the dumplings to boil, about 10-12 mins will do. The pan fried pork bun was similar to cooking pot stickers. A layer of oil in the pan, pork buns in, cook until bottoms are slightly browned then add water. She couldn't tell me how much but using her fingers indicated 1/2 inch? Well, I added too much. There was a bit of fluid on the bottom but once covered x10 mins to steam, the buns puffed up and tasted pretty good.Check the inside paper label to make sure you're getting what you want.

A consistent place to purchase frozen dumplings. They do big business and the the turnover is quite high so it's always fresh.
