If you drive past this place without stopping, you’re making a mistake you’ll regret.

I’ve been dying to try this spot for ages, but they were always closed when I happened to pass by. Today was my lucky day—and wow, it was worth the wait.

From the very first phone call, I could tell hospitality is their first language. They told me my order would be ready in 15 minutes—I showed up in 14. As I pulled in, I saw a gentleman walking a big bag of food out to a sleek car. In that moment, I knew this was the hidden gem I’d been looking for.

Walking into their carry-out-only space, I was instantly wrapped in the aroma of sizzling flavor and hand-crafted dedication. I hadn’t even said “hi” yet, but I already knew I’d made the right choice.

I paid, told them to take their time, and they offered me a free bottle of water (I politely declined—I had one in the car). Thinking they might be running behind, I went out to put on chapstick and get comfortable for the wait. Two minutes later—yes, two minutes—my food was ready.

The moment I got in my car, the scent filled the air. I couldn’t help but smile the entire drive home.

I ordered the veggie dumplings and shrimp lo mein, and every bite was proof that passion lives here. The menu is small—just the way I like it—because every dish is crafted with care, made to be proud of, and worth every second of effort they pour into it.

The two people working behind the counter (I’m guessing the owners) weren’t just cooking—they were creating. Every motion was deliberate, every plate a piece of their pride. This isn’t “fast food.” This is authentic, heartfelt cuisine made by people who love what they do and want to share it with the world.

Don’t just try this place—plan a trip here. They deserve a line out the door.

The best dumplings I've had and the owner was super friendly. I mean like he gave us free drinks because we've never been before . If you're in the neighborhood just get some pork dumplings for a quick lunch.

Literally my first google review ever. The owners thank me when I go in. They offer me a free water from their cooler on my way out. And they make the best freaking dumplings/potstickers that I have ever had.
