New Northern Dumplings

this place is wonderful. the servers are very nice and the food is delicious. i’m plenty of options. i only the opportunity to try the leek/ pork soup dumplings. some gyoza, and the lamb skewers and they were fantastic! will definitely be going again.

Was craving dumplings and happened upon this place during in between hours of lunch and dinner. Didn't think much at first since we were the only ones there at the time and the staff were quietly prepping in the corner for dinner service. Ordered their new northern paste noodles, pork & leek guotie (potstickers), and steamed and fried dumplings. Was very surprised from the quality and price point. The noodles were nice with enough chew and bounce, the dumplings were fresh, especially the guotie (potstickers) were the favorite at the table. Even my grandma who was a harsh critic at the start turned around and said it was "pretty good" which is a big compliment coming from her. Definitely would be coming back again.

Portion size are small comparing to the price. Just to name a few, there are only a few small pieces of beef in the beef noodle. Xiao Lung Bao is the tiniest I have ever seen, is about half the size of the regular Xiao Lung Bao comparing to other restaurants. The veggie and pork dumplings doesn't feels like there is any veggie in them. All in all, not good value for mediocre food.

Long story before the meal details...
So it's Thursday night 10 p.m. and we didn't have dinner yet. So we went searching for a restaurant that closes right at 10 p.m. just our luck, the first restaurants parking lot is full (Perfect Restaurant). Next one (Liwan Kitchen), closed but open light is still on. Went to SkyCity (big mistake), jammed packed. Next, just north of it, Majic Noodle, too cold to sit outside and line up for inside table. Our last chance before I totally give up and go home to eat cereal for dinner. Drove up to to Silver Star north of Passmore. Korean looked promising until we walked in the door and literally the open sign closed on us... LOL.
LAST chance.. next door, The hours open said til 9:30 but it was past 10:10. We asked the nice lady said we still open.. Hallelujah!!! We sat and ordered right away... We ordered cucumber with jellyfish in vinegar sesame dressing, pork potstickers and glass noodles soup that had no food Napa in a pork broth. I'm not sure if we were just really hungry or it just tasted really good and we ate everything!!! Totally Happy, totally Full and very momorable night to remember... Definitely will be back at an earlier time to have dinner again!

A great variety of dumplings and other stir fry dishes. As a lover of Cantonese food, this restaurant has those options as well - fairly light and not too spicy

I went this restaurant, because i saw the review is good.

but i am disappointed that the fried dumpling are too oily, the other dish are taste light, if you like light taste you can go.

the service is friendly.

Always quick service and great food. A very shanghai based type of restaurant where you check what you want on the menu (also a menu with pictures). The food is always piping hot and fresh. Very flavourful and not salty. Can be oily at times dependent on what you choose. They have cold and hot dishes and dessert options available. A good standard place to go to.
