A Chinatown favourite built around one thing done well: dumplings, boiled, steamed or pan-fried, folded by hand at the front of the room. The fillings run from pork-and-chive to lamb-and-coriander, backed by northern-Chinese staples like dan dan noodles, scallion pancakes and hot-and-sour soup.
It is small, casual and consistently good, with a loyal following that means a wait at peak times. Prices are gentle and portions generous — order a couple of varieties to share and add a plate of noodles. A dependable introduction to the food of Toronto's Chinatown.
