Unbelievable food. The Sezhuan wontons and the fried dumplings were phenomenal. The fresh ginger and the rice vinegar made these yummy dishes pop! Great value.

So good. The xlb and hycs are so delish. Xlb’s soup is subtly sweet and the skin isn’t too thick! Hycs’s filling is full and the skin is silky smooth, the spice kicks in after a while. Very shiok

Finally had the chance to try these legendary dumplings. There’s usually a long queue, mostly tourists, but I went off-peak and joined since it wasn’t too bad. Spotted a few Michelin stickers and ordered the spicy wanton plus signature mini buns. The bosses were extremely friendly and welcoming. First bite of the spicy wanton — hands down the best I’ve ever had. I always thought this was a tourist trap, but the flavour proved me wrong. On par, if not better, than the ones I’ve had in Shin-Okubo, Tokyo. The mini buns were equally fantastic. This stall has set my dumpling standards high — a must-visit.

super yummy and affordable!!! we got the xiao long baos, pan fried dumplings and spicy dumplings. i enjoyed all of them - meat fillings were flavourful and generous. for the price point, the xiao long baos are also delicious, though the skin was slightly on the thicker side. we also tried their minced meat noodles! the portion was decent, the noodles were slightly hard but i enjoyed the bite to them. would highly recommend this place because of the affordability and taste of the food~

Don’t recommend the xlb as it was dry; there wasn’t any broth inside and the skin was also dry; the chao shou on the other hand was decent; and would recommend topping up with half a portion of noodles (China noodles portions are huge)
