Fun and inexensive little hole-in-the-wall kind of joint. Got the river snail soup (luosifen), a few different dumplings, and custard buns. Great soup, a rather rare find as well. Honestly for what you're paying, dumpling weren't bad but compared to Chinatown (chicago) eh. Custard buns looked a little too perfect - probably retail but still reasonable price.

So delicious! Might be the BEST shumai I've ever had- and I lived in Hong Kong!!
And the kim chi is sooo fresh and homemade, and IS the best I've ever had!! Had to order several orders to take home so I could use it on everything for the week!

A very peculiar place that specializes in dumplings and soups; whose greatest attraction is its traditional taste of genuine Chinese flavors, which not everyone may like. If you visit, the safe bet is the soups, they have many classic hotpot accessories. Although moderately spacious, if you visit them don't expect much atmosphere or attractive plating, it is a place to take with you with large portions and that's it.
