I really like this place. I think it offers some of the best dumplings I’ve found in South Berkeley (near the university’s campus). With that said - there is nothing fancy going on here. The menu is relatively small. The interior of the place has a single table in it - which I’ve never seen someone try to use. But the guy running the place is friendly and does a good job with some classics (e.g. Xiaolongbao, Har Gow shrimp dumplings). This isn’t the kind of place you travel from out of town to eat at, but if you’re hankering for dumplings and your in South Berkeley, I haven’t found a better place yet. My only complaint is that sometimes the place is listed as open, but isn’t. Not a huge deal, cause the pizza place next to it is also good. But - there it is…

We had the soup dumplings, shrimp har gao, kim chee dumplings, some rice and steamed mushroom and egg custard buns. All were good. The kim chee dumplings were maybe a little under steamed, but still wonderful. Fully cooked on the inside they just seemed like the noodle outside could use a touch more cooking. Food wise I loved it. Seating was a problem though as it is very limited and they didn't have a restroom on-site.

Great option whether you want a quick snack on the way to class or a whole picnic to enjoy on campus. Vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu. Everything is hot and fresh. I ordered the mushroom scallion buns and the red bean sesame balls, and they threw in some fried vegetable dumplings for free. I'd also recommend the taro buns for a sweet snack. They go great with a cup of coffee

Great food and reasonable price! The soup dumplings is so juicy, the free bun that came with the dumplings order is so soft. The bean curd pork noodle is made of wonton noodles, what an amazing combination. You can see timer set for each order so each order are cooked just right. No tips needed, really an awesome, honest shop with great food!
