text: 3.5 Stars\n\nThis place is a little bizarre. When we first walked by on a Thursday night, it was packed. Not a single free table. The following day when we rolled in around 5:00 PM, we were the only patrons inside. I wasn't even sure if they were open. It did start to fill up as we were leaving.\n\nThere are no alcoholic beverages available, but the complimentary tea is good. The menu is quite small and it's obvious that they specialize in delicious dumplings stuffed with all sorts of filling. Aside from the dumplings, they also have a few salad options. I was excited to try the cucumber and jellyfish salad, but our server informed us that they're out of cucumber. A nice lady offered to make a quick shopping trip to get more supplies. She came back shortly after and said that the store was all out of cucumbers. Judging by our facial expressions, we were obviously disappointed. She offered to go to another market and try her luck there only to return empty handed again. Sacr\u00e9 blue!\n\nIt was official, my girl and I were victims of the great Montreal cucumber famine. Actually, right after our meal, we hopped over to the first grocery store about 3 doors down and found an abundance of cucumbers for sale. I even remember the price ($1.30). All they had to do was tell us that the jellyfish wasn't done marinating or something along those lines. Lying to our faces about not being able to source the key ingredient for a salad was just silly. Mise en place is an industry term that these restaurateurs must learn.\n\nOn the sunny side, the main attraction was phenomenal and our saving grace. We ordered steamed dumplings filled with shrimp, leek, and egg. The flavour was so delicate that I didn't want to overpower these tasty little guys with too much sauce. We also ordered fried dumplings with pork and mushrooms. These dumplings went great with their chili oil and a bit of soy sauce. Nothing beats fresh food that was prepared by cute ladies who are masters of their craft. I really liked the one with her hat all twisted up Flavor Flav style.\n\nOverall, the food is fantastic, the price is right, and the WC is nothing like the monstrosities I've encountered in Toronto's Chinatown. I'll definitely come back to explore the rest of the menu and this time I'll bring the cucumber ;)
