“They were correct. Lots of shrooms and tofu and egg, nice thick starchy broth. The fried dumplings were better than the boiled ones I had last time I was there, pretty basic thick-skinned dealies, not standout compared to some other Chinatown places. I'd definitely come back for the soup alone, though.”

“great steamed and fried dumplings, really thick chewy dumplings, I'm a big fan.”
