Two stars today. The Pork and kimchi dumplings tasted rotten I ate one and spit it out. I'm usually not disappointed with this spot. I may rethink this menu item in the future.

I was so excited to see they have soup dumplings. Very few places in this area have them. I ordered for takeout; when I opened the container when I got home I see shriveled up dumplings. There's no broth in these at all. The dumplings themselves had a good flavor but I'm just disappointed it wasn't soup dumplings at all.

They need to improve their takeout game. The pork dumplings were the only things we ordered that we liked. We found the pork noodles that we ordered bland and not appetizing at all sadly. The kimchi rice was good - I have had better but it was not awful. I think the food overall coulda been more flavorful for asian food. Won't be ordering again.

Amazing dumplings! I never usually order veggie based dumplings but I decided to try a risk and they were just astounding.

I am very disappointed, I have been wanting to order from this place for a while and when I did I get raw meat in the dumplings.I ordered the noodles with pork the flavor was good but the noodles were over cooked! the pot stickers had raw pork on the inside and I ate one of them, I hope I don't get sick! the pan fried bao had a good flavor if it had more filling on the inside its basically dough with a teeny tiny meat on the inside. I also ordered something sweet but threw it away after discovering the raw pork in my food I couldn't eat anything afterwards.

Soup dumplings were tasty..

Unfortunately, I wanted to love this place but I was very disappointed. Ordered the pork fried rice that had very good reviews but it lacked flavor and honestly didn't taste very fresh. We got the bulgogi pot stickers with such high hopes for that Korean bulgogi taste but it honestly didn't taste like much at all. The freshest and best tasting items we got were the ginger and scallion fried rice and the scallion pancake, they were done to order and you can really taste the scallions. That is the only item I would recommend, thankfully we did not try any of the other items that had bad reviews because now I am afraid that the bad reviews might have been very accurate. The inside is very quaint and cozy, only two tables so not much room to eat in, another downfall which is why I could see most of their clients were picking up. We were given to go containers even though we had asked to eat in, in the end we were a little uncomfortable and decided to take our food home. Sadly I cannot recommend with much enthusiasm, but you can try yourself and see what you think. I could tell the servers/workers were inexperienced although they were nice and friendly, need a lot of improvement.

We ordered take out and the pork dumplings and scallion pancake were good. The fried pork that comes with tteokbokki was very hard to eat and the sauce was more tomato tasting than we like. Some pieces are hard and unable to bitten into. Kimchi friend rice was just okay. Would maybe order again to try other dumplings, but would hesitate on other items.

Korean beef bao was burnt meat and bun. The bao was drenched in oil. The food handlers were using ungloved hands and opted to fool around than to prepare food. There was no other orders yet it took approximately 30 minutes to prepare some pork bao? The staff opted to be on their phones during our visit.

Midway through a pork dumpling, I noticed something hard and thought “probably a bit of bone.” It was plastic. Thick plastic. Larger than a nickel and jagged. I can understand one-off mistakes, but I went back to read other reviews online and saw others complaining about finding a “plastic cap” in a dumpling, so this is a sanitation and health issue. Cannot recommend. So glad I was the one who got the dagger dumpling instead of one of my kids.

Disgusting. I ordered 2 soup dumplings one came with a cap inside a dumpling the other had a white hair on it.

Grabbed takeout from this tiny spot and highly recommend if you are craving dumplings! Food was ready when promised despite it being a very busy night. We grabbed the bulgogi boiled dumplings ($8) and the chicken with corn dumplings ($8). The bulgogi was incredible - great flavor! We also split the scallion pancakes ($5), veggie buns, and the pork soup dumplings ($8). Everything was well cooked, warm, and a very generous portion size. I do think the dumplings are the standout here so highly recommend.

Great dumplings, very fresh tasting. My family comes here all the time. I recommend the pork and cabbage fried. Great prices as well and very filling. I recommend.

This spot is so cute and cozy. The spring rolls and Thai tea were great. I've been on a hunt for good soup dumplings and unfortunately this place was lacking flavor and not really any broth inside the dumplings. I didn't try many food items so I wouldn't discredit them, just not what I was looking for!
