    dumpling 2
    Sal M.

    Do not google what kinds of things can happen when you eat raw pork. Do NOT do it. i ate here for the first time and will not be coming back. i ordered pork dumplings and the first bite texture was off, and chewy. Also, i should have realized it wasn't burning hot like they are suppose to be. Dumplings were raw, i checked chicken ones, i bite it, also raw. i checked one more dumpling, and they were raw as well. i told the server, if they looked normal to her but she said she would ask the kitchen. they said they looked normal, but that they could steam them again. But the 3 raw ones i opened were not replaced and they just steamed the ones i didn't open. I ended took them home, and microwaved them just to be safe. I'm actually now annoyed i payed for 22 bucks for 12 and they cheated me on 3. at 1.833333 per dumpling thats like $5.5 WTF? after cooking them, they were very tasty, but i will not be going back, service was indifferent too. One of the worst experiences i've had at a restaurant in a long time, and i'm booking my yearly physical early just do mention this.

    2.5 stars! Ugh everything was kinda mediocre. We got the combo #1 and the only thing that was good was the spicy wontons. The egg rolls were so basic and had no flavor. The popcorn chicken was missing something. The different colors of the dumplings were weird. The truffle was not good. Don't keep them stacked up because they will overcook. Wasn't a lot of soup in the dumplings. Everything seemed to be frozen. The inside was fine and the seats were comfy. The had cute signs. Service was fine, they just take your order and bring it to the table.

    The restaurant was clean and modern. The food was delicious, I can't wait to try everything on the menu.

    Pork and crab soup dumplings

    (Not paid, just a thorough review ) Another new spot in Frederick! Super happy about that. Right next to Kpot. Also extremely busy especially at night. Went there for lunch on 06Nov2024. Ordered quite a bit too! They do have combo options and standard fountain drinks along with boba. We ordered from the kiosk not realizing that was for take out and dine it was ordering at the counter . People who did order to-go were dining in though so that didn't seem to be an issue . Staff were friendly and attentive to clearing tables and keeping the dining area clean. The bathroom was clean as well. For dine in, your dumplings do arrive in a steam basket! So, to the food right? We ordered: pork wonton soup, cucumber salad, chicken soup dumpling, pork soup dumpling combo (it comes with fried rice, a drink, and spring rolls), pork and crab soup dumpling, pork shrimp and spinach soup dumplings. When you order to-go you get a utensil package that has the soup spoon, chopsticks, a fork, and napkins. You also get packets of black vinegar which is extremely convenient :). Since the restaurant is new there are some kinks to work out and that's ok! The wonton soup was a bit too salty but the wontons were good. The soup dumplings were good, they were a bit too steamed so the bottoms broke on some so we couldn't get soup in those . Addition of black vinegar and ginger is a must. The cucumber salad was crunchy but there wasn't much to it. I had the fried rice at home later that night. It was a bit greasy. I did add extra egg at home though. The spring rolls were fine. Giving this 4 stars because of the staff, the layout of the restaurant, and hoping to go back after giving them some time to work things out. I do recommend you giving it a try!

    We were super excited to go, and ended up leaving extremely disappointed. After noticing the pork inside our dumplings were raw, we also noticed mold on the bamboo baskets. We ended up tossing everything and just leaving.

    Not a fan at all. Seemed like heated up previously frozen dumplings. My first visit is also my last. Best of luck.

    Braised Beef Noodle Soup

    The wings were so juicy!! Absolutely delicious. We loved the Braised Beef Noodle Soup the most. The broth was so rich and tons of meat! The boba was just the right amount of sweet. The place looked really clean and the employees were really nice.

    This restaurant is located in the Hmart food court. This was my first time eating pork tangsu so I…read moredon't have any comparison, but I liked the flavor and quantity at this restaurant. The pork was fried well and the breading wasn't overwhelming or too much. You can either eat the fried pork by itself, dip it in the sweet and sour sauce, or pour the sauce all over the fried pork. I liked to dip the pork in the sauce so the pork stays crispy. I was surprised that the onion and bell pepper were raw in the sauce. I would have enjoyed it more if they were cooked. There were also carrots and pineapple in the sauce.

    About a 2-2.5: Delicious Chinese Restaurant - I really wanted to like you!…read more This vendor is one of the food court finds you'll find at H Mart - note that you have to go to another kiosk to place orders for any of the vendors that you'd like to order from; I guess it's a way to allow the eateries to focus on preparing the food, rather than lose the extra employee in dealing with the register. Masheeneun Joonggook Jip, aka 'Delicious Chinese Restaurant' offers your typical Korean-Chinese fare, such as jajangmyun, jjambbong, tang soo yook, ggangpoongi, etc. We came here for lunch, and we ordered: +jajangmyun - wasn't a fan of the black bean sauce, as there seemed to hardly be any flavor - it was super bland; also, the noodles were overcooked and were 'swollen' +hae mool jjambbong - the seafood jjambong's broth had a spicy kick to it; unfortunately, the broth was super thin, and while there were ample amount of mussels, the squid had a fishy smell to them and were not fresh; there were tons of noodles, however, but just like the jajangmyun, they was overcooked +soon sahl dak gganpoongi - these came boneless; this was actually not a bad dish, as the sauce wasn't too syrupy sweet as most Korean-Chinese places make them; they had a slight kick to them, had tons of veggies (bell peppers, peas, onions), and tons of sauce, which would be great eating with a bowl of rice I was a little surprised that the only banchan they gave you with the meal was the dakgwang (pickled yellow radish), but no kimchi or ggakdoogi (fermented radish cubes); I also thought that a bowl of rice would have been served with the entrees, like the gganpoongi. There was about a 40-minute wait (which we were quoted), as there were a lot of patrons ordering from this place - a recommendation would be to get there earlier before the lunch rush. This seems to be run by a husband-and-wife team, and they were really slinging everything; super kind. This may be a good option for those living in the Frederick area, but definitely not worth the trek for us. Glad we were able to try it, but we wouldn't return. Plenty of parking in the lot. +stick with the gganpoongi +overcooked noodles +order near the Sogongdong Tofu place for any eatery items +located inside H Mart +plenty of parking in lot
