“Really delicious dumplings! The staff were super nice and told us they messed up the order so they remade it, but also gave us the mess-up for free. So with this, I got to try both the classic beef dumplings and traditional potato dumplings. Both were filling and came with a side of bread and sour cream. One of my new favourite places to go in Fremont.”

Great food, excellent service, top notch character. Highly recommend”
