Cozy Chinese restaurant with tons of charm. We felt so welcomed by the owner who explained the menu to us with so much detail. I ordered the general tso's and pork lotus dumplings. We thoroughly enjoyed our them but felt like they really needed the dipping sauce to feel complete. We definitely will be back!!

Stopped in for a to go order on my birthday. I'll say I'm glad I didn't come by for dinner as originally planned. I ordered takeout and walked around while I waited. service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant did seem a bit out of sorts and unorganized but a lady from the back came out and helped quickly. She gave me a menu to mark up and turn in, which isn't uncommon but the menu was already marked up or "used." I kept looking over small things like the disorganization here and there. I really wanted to like these dumplings! I ordered a pork, veggie and chicken option trying to taste a variety. In agreement with many other reviews on here, the dumplings were all bland. I'm 99% sure the veggie dumpling was frozen veggies (carrot cubes, peas, corn, etc) and what tasted like dehydrated mushrooms (cubed and chewy). It was kind of lifeless. The chicken had the same veggies mixed in and zero flavor. The pork dumpling only had flavor because it was spicy. Otherwise all the dumplings were mostly doughy. Maybe I ordered the wrong menu items to highlight anything great but overall, I'd say there are better options for dimsums and dumplings around the city.

This place adds a fun and colorful twist to traditional dumplings. We came at 3 PM as a snack, so off-hours it was mostly empty besides one other table. The owner was incredibly sweet and generous. She offered us complimentary lemon ginger iced tea, which was so refreshing! We ordered the hot oil noodles and tropical prawn dumplings. The noodle dish was delicious, but REALLY spicy. Portions were large and very satisfying. I'm always a fan of any shrimp dumplings and the presentation of the dish was a true art form! The cucumbers carved into bamboo shapes were such a fun and fresh touch. Loved the creativity and attention to detail in both the flavors and plating.

The server was quick on getting us a table/drinks. They used their space well considering the size. We ordered: Three fresh dumpling - price was okay for the portion size. On the doughier side. There was a odd wait time of ~ 40 mins (understandable because they did have a big party) If you had nothing else to eat and was craving dumplings - I'd go here

I heard so many positive reviews about this restaurant so I figured I'd order take out. The Soup Dumplings did not disappoint. I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu.

One of our favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh! Always our first stop when we come back in town, and the owner is the sweetest. Our go-to's are the hot oil vegetable noodles, the dry spicy chicken, and the mapo tofu dumplings. The noodles are a huge portion (my husband always says the best meal in pgh under $15) and so fresh - they hand pull them in the back, and the dumplings are dyed naturally to be vibrant colors. Such a little gem in Squirrel Hill.

Five of us went here for dinner yesterday night and were able to get a table immediately. The staff was so sweet, lovely, and personable! We tried essentially half the menu and while I enjoyed everything, especially the thick chewy noodles and the spicy dry chicken, the star of the show for me was the dumplings. The dumplings here are truly pieces of art that come in an array of colors and with beautiful presentation. They are also available in unique flavors - I was a big fan of the crawfish and pork dumplings and and my friend loved the pine branch and century egg ones!

He Said: Our daughter had been here before and insisted we come during our visit this time. We each ordered a plate of dumplings and shared the hot oil noodles. I ordered the hot oil dumplings. It was great all around. Prices are good, service is great, flavor is, in fact, amazing. We usually cook with Shanghai style wrappers, but as soon as we left we talked about trying some northern style. We've been inspired! Side note: this place would be epic at about 11pm or so after a fun night. She Said: Although I tried all the dishes at the table, I zeroed in on the pork and leek dumplings as "mine" when I ordered, and they were terrific. My second favorites were the ones He ordered--but I would have gobbled up any of the options. The egg rolls weren't anything to write home about, but it's not called "Amazing Egg Rolls"; thus, it's a well-named place! Potty Points: 4/5 - clean and available!

Tried this place out with my wife recently. We had a very nice little dinner! We ate on the early side on a Friday and the place was pretty quiet (no need for a reservation). Service was extremely friendly; someone came to check on us regularly and would even throw in little recommendations for the right amount of dipping sauce, ask how we liked the spice level, etc. You can tell the people who work here care a lot. The pork leek dumplings were fantastic! Light and juicy morsels of pure deliciousness. We will definitely come back again to try other types of dumplings. The hot oil wide noodles with beef were good too. Definitely on the heavier side and left plenty of leftovers, so a good complement to the dumplings. Much more noodle than beef. The scallion pancake was very fried, so tasty and crispy, but also very thin and without much scallion.

Why didn't I go here earlier?!?! My fellow Yelp Eliteriend was going so I tagged along with her and her crew. I was able to find parking in the paid lot across the street. The dumplings are amazing and beautiful. The Van Gogh was a personal favorite as it has a slight broth to it from the steaming process. The dumplings in broth are perfect for a fall day. We chatted with the owner, who is such a lovely and sweet person. We learned the coloring is natural which eased a concern I had. Definitely go, eat, and maybe grab a wine next door beforehand to incorporate with your dinner!

Such a cute place. We were seated immediately. We wanted to try a little of everything. The waitress even gave us a complimentary lemon ginger tea. The dumplings had their own unique flavors which is so welcome because some dumplings all taste very similar. The fish dish was to die for. Crispy, salty and perfectly sauced with a side of rice. My least favorite was probably the beef noodles but that was due to the sauce it's self. It was not bad, but a little thick and a lot of pepper flakes. The noodles were so good and made in-house. Same with the dumplings. I would recommend trying a verity of dumplings because there was not a disappointing bite!

Such a darling spot in Squirrel Hill with delicious and intricate choices. Everything we got was phenomenal and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. They recommended their popular dishes and helped us to pick a wide variety of options, and even brought us complimentary orange ginger iced tea to try! You can tell everything is homemade and that they put time and love into all their dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back!

Really fantastic dumplings. You can tell that the owners have a passion for creating artful dumplings with both traditional fillings and more modern takes on what you can use to fill a Chinese dumpling. The interior space is comfortable, with good spacing between tables. The staff were very kind and helpful. The variety, color, and flavor of the various dumplings were very impressive, especially when paired with the accompanying dipping sauce. The noodle dishes were well presented, but a notch below the dumplings in terms of flavor. That might just be a result of ordering the vegetarian noodle dishes rather than something with meat. It's also true that noodle dishes don't always work very well as take-out, and that's just an expected outcome. If I have any complaints it would be the limited number of vegetable centric sides. It would be nice to pair my dumplings with a vegetable centric stir fry or a big green salad. We made do with a homemade salad to pair with our takeout, but we would have preferred to pair some vegetable dishes with our dumplings and noodles. Other than that, this is a great destination with an excellent takeout game.
