Soup Dumplings
"Incredible! I love soup dumplings and have been looking for a spot in Richmond with tasty, juicy soup dumps, I have found that spot!!! I nearly ordered everything on the menu. So happy, so sleepy from all the warm soup in my tum tum! I will be a regular here, mark my words! I'll be the one at the table with 100 soup dumps"
Pan Fried Pork Buns
"Have come here 3 times now because we love the food so much. But service and atmosphere have also been great. Recommend the pan fried pork buns."
Ugly Dumpling Sampler
"I absolutely loved the Cucumber Salad--it was so delicious! I even ordered the Ugly Dumplings Sampler twice because they were just that good. However, I was a bit disappointed with the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, as the wrapper was a little too thick for my liking."
