Best har gow (shrimp dumplings) I've ever had! They're huge, made with fresh, clean, and quality ingredients, and come in a dumpling skirt! Really something else. I'd come here just for that. My husband loves their dry aged beef dumplings. Pretty unique. Even though they're small, they are dense and packed! They're surprisingly quite heavy to pick up with your chopsticks. The Sichuan cucumber salad was packed with flavor! I don't like bean sprouts but they changed my mind! Tried their juicy pork dumplings and they were not kidding. One bite and juice was getting everywhere, and I'm not a messy eater. Also got their strawberry bubble tea...yummm. Everything is so delicious, made fresh to order, and served piping hot!! Love that they play 90s Hong Kong music too and serve their dimsum in 90s dimsum paper plates. Super nostalgic for me. They also play videos on random traditional Chinese cuisine, which is interesting to watch.

Can’t wait to come back to this area! This will be my go to spot for a quick bite. The food was very delicious and fresh The portion size were really good. Ribs were fire and you get a nice amount. Pork dumplings were ok and the cucumbers salad was really good. I love a short menu with not too many items. Makes making a decisions that much easier. Now I feel like I can go back and actually try everything on the menu!

We wanted to grab a quick bite before my wife had to go to a show in the city for work and I needed to make my way back home. It was the right amount of food and the right amount of time! It was also all very delicious! HEAT HOT but delicious as they are made fresh.

Really excellent dumplings and buns. Food is high quality and service is quick. Perfect to take as a to-go snack to prospect park. Will definitely be back to try their dry aged beef dumplings.

Great little place with flavorful food made from fresh ingredients. Had the pork belly Bao, beef (28 day aged) pot stickers and shrimp dumplings. All were delicious and was surprised how much shrimp was stuffed into the little dumplings! Great place for an aftermovie (Nitehawk is now open) snack/meal. Will try large plates next time I'm here! They also have great japanese sodas and bubble tea which I will get next time!

Very good home made dumplings. Only thing was it was expensive for the amount of dumplings you get. The price won’t stop me from coming back though!

I got the juicy pork dumplings and the pork bao bun. The dumplings were fantastic and so juicy. And the right amount of crisp on the bottom. The order came with 6 and cost $7. Fair price to me. The Bao pork bun was good, but hard/messy to eat and even tho the sauce that came on it was yummy, they put way to much on and over powered the other flavors including the pork itself. But all in all was soo good. My Boyfriend got the pork sweet chili ribs and he was obsessed!!

We went for lunch yesterday and really enjoyed it. The taste, texture, presentation were all on point. The price point is a little higher then let’s say China town but it’s expected for the area and the quality was really good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The staff was masked and the restroom was super clean. They also have bubble teas and other specialty drinks. Definitely will try again.

I love this spot. If I could do half stars, it would be 4.7. Had to knock off a few points charging $3 for a bottle of water. Tried the pork bao bun which was also good. Not the best, not the worst. Pro tip- mix soy sauce & hot sauce = magic

What a meal! We walked in with a large group of ten - five were kiddos with a slew of allergies and tastes. The dumpling shop served us all with delicious flavor and patience. Before I knew it, the kids were devouring their delicious dumplings n rolls and asking for more. My fave - the sweet chili ribs are truly finger-licking deliciousness on the bone. So good. Such yum! Don't leave without ordering the hotcakes for dessert. They put a smile on everyone's face☆Thanks Chef!!!!!!!!!!!

Best dumplings I’ve ever had in NYC and there’s a lot of competition out there. Nothing comes close. Buddha’s vegetables are also delicious — a clean and flavorful meal. 11/10

Charming and tasty dumpling shop. Counter seating for solo-diner like me. Amazing smells from open kitchen fill the rooom. Staff was busy with takeout on a cold night, so my service was a little slow. That said, pork dumplings were doughy flavour bombs. Veg dish (always a test) brought taste and texture. Next time I'll try dry-aged beef dumplings.

Great spot. Very nice on the inside and very tasty food. I only had the dumplings and boa. Will def be back to try everything else. It is a little pricey tho. I'd love it if they had more options

Good quality shrimp dumplings, the price point is probably a little higher than what you get compared to other places, and I felt like the crust on the dumplings was not necessary and took away from the quality of the wrapper themselves. Overall, a nice part of the neighbourhood

I unfortunately have to give a 3 star for this place and I rarely post reviews that are not positive. Pretty overpriced ($8 for a tiny pork guabao, $12 for 4 hargow (even tim ho wan is only charging 7.75 :o). And they all lack flavors, especially the pork dumplings :( I really wanted to support a neighborhood store but this is a disappointment.

Overpriced even for this area. Tiny portions. Slow service when not busy. Not worth it at all. $8 for two small flat veggies spring rolls is sad. (Pictured)

Only had takeout but very mediocre. Thought it would be better based on the reviews but I wouldn’t consider returning. The noodles were completely stuck together as one noodle blob. I even arrived to pickup earlier than 15 mins and it seems like to sat for awhile. Not worth the money. I had the Shanghai belly noodles.

Came here based off reviews and was so disappointed...burnt dumplings on all three orders I placed to go. These burnt were not just by looks it also tasted burnt and it wasn't even busy. Taste was bland my son loves dumplings and didn't even finish his first bite. Just sorry I didn't see the dumplings until I got home.

Unwelcoming experience going in, waited for over 30 minutes in person for some dumplings and a soup, and my dumplings were burnt and inedible. Ended up throwing it away, a waste of money and the soup was super oily with weird chunks in my soup. Not a pleasant experience, definitely tasted like food you would eat and like super drunk lol.
