Reviews
The Dumplin are amazing the team are good entertainer. A good atmosphere for drinking and hangout with friends. If tou come in a big group I recommend to play the roulette drinking game. It looks like fun. Too bad we were there only as a couple
We had eaten a late lunch just a few hours earlier and weren’t very hungry when we arrived, but the aroma of the signature Gyopao hot pot was impossible to resist. Once it arrived, we immediately dug in and ended up ordering even more dishes, including the xiaolongbao, shrimp shumai, and fried gyoza. Everything was delicious, and by the end of the meal we were happily stuffed. A special shoutout to Terry, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He took the time to explain the menu, guide us through the ordering process, and gave us some excellent recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. Ordering is done conveniently through a QR code system. One thing to note: there is a seating charge, and each person is required to order a drink. The restaurant is quite small, so reservations are recommended if you’d rather not wait for a table. It was a fun and satisfying dining experience with great food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere. We left happy, full, and glad we decided to stop in.
From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel so welcome. Terry was at the door and talked us through the menu and gave us his amazing recommendations. As we got seated, Chi our waiter continued on with the great service. He was very chatty and easy to talk to and ask questions. The food was next level, the dumplings were delicious as was everything else. I could not fault it! Would definitely recommend and we will be back!
A great place for gyoza and other dumplings, fusing Japanese and Taiwanese styles. Their main attraction is their soup dumplings, but if that’s not your thing there are many other options as well. They also have a really good fried chicken (karaage). The fried dumplings are worth trying too. Decent prices and fast service, easily a spot to hit up when you’re in the area.
Everything about this experience was incredible! Our waiter, Keita, was flawless in explaining how everything worked and ensuring we were fully catered for and happy throughout the meal. The food was all delicious! Especially the meat gyozas and soup! Highly recommend getting the steamed chicken in green onion sauce and salted green vegetable namul. First time trying sake and the option we had - recommended by our outstanding waiter, Keita - was beautiful and really strong tasting. Such a great addition to the overall experience. Thank you to both the chef and Keita, for such an amazing time! One of the highlights of our trip!!
