This establishment refuses to take orders by message or phone, like it's 1980....
They claim fresh handmade dumplings - but have a Facebook post on June 12th showing their "fresh" dumplings being made for serving on the 19th - so they would have to be frozen to keep that long - so no longer fresh.
I took a chance anyway and was disappointed to find out the dumplings don't seem to have any asian flavor. It tastes just like an American chicken and dumplings soup, not bad, just not wanted from an Asian food spot ...

Unfortunately until then we will probebly eat...
Read moreI caught up with them at trivia night at Lookingglass Brewing. A helpful and friendly gentleman took my order and then brought my dinner over about 20 minutes later. Not speedy but the brewery was busy and I'm sure they made it as quickly as possible.
