Ordered chicken potstickers, steamed buns with BBQ pork, Shanghai dumplings, and chicken lo mein. It was okay, but only the lo mein actually tasted fresh. So I'll start there. The chicken lo mein was delicious, slightly sweet with classic flavors and thin cut chicken which tasted independently flavored and cooked. Worked very well and started our meal off in a good place. But lo mein, to me, is not a star dish. It's not a reason why I would travel to a sit down restaurant, and so it can not carry this review up from just being okay. The pot stickers were fried crispy on the outside and soft and tasteless on the inside. The provided dipping sauce came out in a to-go style lidded plastic container, and tasted like soy sauce with water. The weren't offensive, but not good either. Definitely the low point. So one hit, one miss, but next up was the reason we came. The Shanghai dumpling, or soup dumplings. This was such a missed opportunity, because the ones that were in tact were good! But of the 8 that come with an order, only 3 actually still had soup in them. The rest were cracked on the bottom and let all of that deliciousness out, completely defeating the purpose of ordering these dumplings. This leads me to believe that this food is frozen well in advance and thawed in the steamer. That's not the end of the world usually, but in this case it damaged the food too much. The BBQ buns tasted pretty good, but did not contain enough BBQ pork for my taste and didn't have the light airiness that these buns should have coming out of the steamer. That said, they tasted good enough, and as hard to find as this type of bun can be, I'd have them again. So plusses and minuses takes me to an... Eh.
