I appreciated the different colors and shapes of these dumplings and the fillings were pretty tasty too. What I didn’t appreciate was that they were over steamed so the wrappers were soft, mushy and gelatinous. The pork bun was good.

Firstly, I think twelve bucks is a bit much for a few stalks of broccolini. Secondly, their was a fishy flavor to this dish that I really couldn’t place my finger on. It tasted like there was some anchovies or something fermented. I liked the flavor, but there was nothing written on the menu that would point indicate its source.

I didn’t know this was gonna arrive with potato chips on top – that was an unpleasant surprise. And I’m not sure how potato chips scream Greek, but whatever. This actually tasted good, but I still wasn’t a fan of the oddly textured crust on these mini pan pizzas.
