  Our usually dinner spot after playing tennis.  The dumplings here are freshly made and flavours are good.  Prices are good and portion sizes are generous.  I have also tried their pork bone soup, beef on rice and fried noodles.  They are good as well but the dumplings are better.  The decor is outdated and lots of empty seats available if you have a large group.  Will be back again for more dumplings and maybe some other dishes I haven't tried yet.

  This was some of the worst food I've ever had.
  
  The noodles tasted like flour, the soup lacked any sort of flavor and I've bought better frozen dumplings than the ones I was served here.
  
  My wife and I were ignored for a full 25 minutes before someone came by to ask for our order.
  
  About the only thing good about this place was the price which, cheap as it was, was still too expensive for what I was served.

  I was in the area and stopped by for a quick meal. It wasn't busy during peak dinner hours and there was only one server.
  
  Ordered:
  Soup noodles
  Kimchi fried rice
  Lamb dumplings (steamed)
  Beef pancake roll
  
  My favorites were the dumplings and the pancake roll. These were very tasty and the value was great. My least favorite was the kimchi fried rice. I didn't like the hard texture of the rice and there wasn't a lot of ingredients in it. It was mainly rice and hot sauce.
  
  Overall, a decent place if you want a cheap meal. However this place isn't very clean. The tables are sticky and there were stains on plate and spoon.

  [LOCATION] - 3/5
  This place is located on Brimley Rd and Sheppard Ave E. Parking spaces were limited at the plaza.
  
  [SERVICE] - 2/5
  There was a bit of a language barrier as the servers only spoke Mandarin. We had to wait for the waiter who spoke English whenever we wanted to add something to our order or if we needed napkins.
  
  [DÉCOR] - 3/5
  Bigger than what it looks like on the outside, but very humid during the summer. There was no ventilation and had very little/no air conditioning.
  
  [QUALITY] - 4/5
  Good quality, food tasted homemade without extra preservatives or msg.
  
  [ORDER] - 3/5
  - Pork Meat with Chives Dumpling - comes with 12 dumplings. They were meaty, juicy, and skin was perfectly thin
  
  - Spring Pancake - a little too doughy and not enough onions or other fillings/toppings
  
  - Sparerib in Sweet & Sour Sauce - sweet, tangy, and crispy! Kind of like sweet and sour pork but with spareribs instead of pork
  
  - Pork Bone Soup - average. There were a LOT of bones and tasted a little too bland
  
  - Fried Dumplings - meaty & delicious! Great with a little black vinegar and soya sauce
  
  - Fresh Cold Noodle - refreshing, noodles were chewy, and great for the price!
  
  [OVERALL] - 3/5
  Great dumplings and sweet & sour spareribs. Other items were average and I would not recommend them. Overall, I would recommend this place for their delicious dumplings because they are worth the value.

  This is my go-to dumpling restaurant. Of all the other dumpling locations that I've tried, I don't think I've found a place that trumps this place.
  
  I love that the dumplings are homemade and super fresh to order. Also, the size of the dumpling is slightly on the larger size in comparison to other dumpling places that I've been to. In addition, one order of dumpling is 14 pieces, whereas other places usually serve 12 pieces. As well, I like that the dumpling skin is not too thick and is a great balance to the filling.
  
  The pork bone soup was just alright, the soup could have been more flavourful but the meat was tender and juicy so no complains on that front. This dish also comes with rice but we were pretty full from all that dumpling so we just packed the rice to-go--I guess I'll be having fried rice tomorrow.
  
  Despite how busy this restaurant was during a lunch rush, the server was attentive and able to get me refills for my tea.
  
  Overall, the meal was relatively cheap for some pretty awesome dumpling. Would I return? MOST DEFINITELY!!
