"Food writer Calvin Trillin craves these soup dumplings, and so do we: achingly tender pork morsels surrounded by warm broth and swathed in chewy dough make for a mighty mouthful."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch



"Cucumbers tossed in a warm spicy marinade add texture and crunch to the meal."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch



"The onion pancake is a fine complement to a table full of dumplings."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch



"Please excuse this half-eaten dumpling photo, but we employ it only to show the mouth-watering ground chicken and corn within."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch



"Is it the kingdom of a singular type of dumpling, or is something lost in translation? Whatever the case, this small eatery is well worth the trip to Taravel Street."
