The Dishes
This dim sum experience showcases a thoughtfully curated menu of specialty dumplings and appetizers. The Australian Wagyu arrives perfectly cooked, impressing both the reviewer and their father with its juiciness and tenderness. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are executed excellently, with the reviewer noting how easy they are to eat and praising the delicate balance of flavors.
The standout item is undoubtedly the colorful har gows (shrimp dumplings), which come in five creative varieties: green wasabi, white sesame, orange carrot, red beef, and black squid ink. Each variation offers a distinct flavor profile, with the squid ink dumpling generating particular excitement and curiosity. The vinegar boba preparation is noteworthy, with the technique of placing the flavorful boba on top of the hot dumpling so it melts and distributes the vinegar flavor throughout.
The Experience
The atmosphere appears casual and welcoming, with the reviewer bringing their dad to try this new establishment. The restaurant's attention to detail is evident in their sauce selection, which the reviewer compares to a color palette, suggesting an artful presentation. The food arrives hot and is served in a way that allows for proper appreciation of the dumpling-making craft.
