I thought that this tasted good, but I didn’t like the texture. I generally like sticky rice, but there was something extra watery in the filling that kinda grossed me out. The pork tasted good though.

I thought these soup dumplings looked fun and colorful, but they didn’t taste all that great. The dumpling wrapper was too thick and starchy which took away from the individual flavors of the fillings and broth. Also, the service here was horrendous! They were super slow and they don’t much care for you if you’re ordering for take out. Lame!
